(a bit long sorryyy!) I’ve been taking the last few days to re-visit some of the recordings from the challenge and consolidate some of my notes from each session. Soooo much info and good stuff to be taken from each of the days that re-visiting and reflecting has allowed me to identify what really resonates and find what is/will continue to be most helpful and effective for me. The last day of this challenge focused on finding a 3-month-goal which proved to be very difficult for me because there’s so much I want to work on, that picking just one has taken me this long lol. I found what really helped to choose the goal that was most important to me, was the idea of a feeling-based or ‘internal’ goal. Focusing on how I want to FEEL 3 months from now, (at the mid-point of this year eek!) allowed me to discover what it is that I really want by the end of June- as opposed to what I feel like I SHOULD be working on, SHOULD be achieving or maybe even being influenced by what others are doing. I also found that the various actions/checkpoints I’ve created for my goal has made me quite excited to have something to work toward. Having kept joy and ease at the forefront when deciding on these actions, means hopefully I can enjoy the process and foster the energy and growth that will allow me to feel the way I hope to 3 months from now. What a gift to dedicate a little pocket of time each day to intentionally find joy while simultaneously pursuing a bigger goal/purpose! The sessions in this challenge sparked some big shifts in my mindset which I wasn’t really expecting. I want to keep leaning into that with this 3-month goal (and beyond!) instead of defaulting back to the overly critical and negative space that we so often find ourselves in and get used to as our ‘normal’. At a certain point I think the familiarity tricks us into believing we can find solace in our self-deprecation that our classic Aussie, nonchalant, tall-poppy-syndrome-ridden society encourages so much. Especially in such a demanding industry where we are constantly in environments of heightened physical and emotional stressors, I think a lot of people just accept their negative mindset for what it is and dub it ‘part of the job’. I hope this generation and this community can be a beacon of change for the renowned notion that artists suffer. I personally, while still freshly graduated, am already tired of tearing myself apart with the passion and ambition to pursue what I love, grappling against the fear of being judged for merely trying.

Day 4 was definitely a much needed reminder to try to prioritise and implement some daily mental and emotional resets because they’re definitely the first to go for me when things get busy! (Which is probably when they r actually needed most 😬) Some fav moments that stuck with me from this session were “if you don’t know what you want, you won’t know when you have it” and “run the day, don’t let it run you”. Definitely feeling more inspired and empowered to lead with more intentionality in daily life 💙 Lastly, my “Let’s Do This” playlist is stolen straight from my go-to running playlist that never fail to get the endorphins going hehehe : Untouched- The Veronicas Try Everything (from Zootopia lollll) Marry The Night- Lady Gaga Starships- Nicki Minaj Bet On It- High School Musical 2 Everytime We Touch- Cascade Unwritten- Natasha Bedingfield My Life Would Suck Without You- Kelly Clarkson Haven't added any new songs in agesss so would love any suggestions to add if anyone's got any! xx

I really appreciated hearing the anecdote about the performer who came into their prime in their thirties. As I enter my late 20s, I've felt like I'm running out of time. When I graduated drama school in 2019, I was at my fittest and most motivated. Cut to losing those first two years out to the pandemic, I was really thrown for a loop in terms of the timeline I had dreamed up for myself. I know it's going to be an ongoing challenge for me to overcome the fear of getting older in the industry without the CV credits to back me up (and not being able to keep up with these incredible fulltime dance kids), but I'm feeling much more hopeful, inspired and reinvigorated than I was before.

  I am already experiencing significant mind and heart shifts and it is only day 2 of the 5 -day challenge. BOOM !I just wanted to share a reflection after Day 1. Success for me is showing up. If I am waking up in the morning, breathing, living, and doing all I can do to be present and working on my higher self and my heart and literally just showing up in life then I am a success. Three words that came to mind when I think of WORTH - My words were Heart - Value - Gold. Funnily enough 5 years ago it was 8 shows a week (definitely in my heart still) fame, to be seen, if I wasn't seen or in a show or noticed then that dictated my life. My heart has changed, because my soul has evolved and, my value in myself has increased. I am GOLD that has been refined in the furnace and coming out pure GOLD. This is where I am at. Being the person I want to be before I do the 8 shows and not even just getting the gig, just in life. Doing the work that my future self will be grateful for. Also letting go of the past what's is done. Lets build for the future. I feel like I have a second chance at it. I am letting go of the pre-conceived notion that I have to be a certain age. That I didn't go for like I should have. (regrets need to go ) But now, this present moment, I am doing the work to get to where I want to be. So much to read here I know. This challenge has really resonated with me and I am so grateful to the universe because it is where I need to be now. There is a significant heart transformation taking place and Taylor, I am so grateful for you, such a heart of gratitude. So much more I want to say. But thankyou (getting emotional)! @Taylor Scanlan Reply Jump to latest comment
