Happy Tuesday, UTD!
Don't let August just be a month where you get out of town both physically and figuratively. August is a super month to work on your physicality so that you have radiant, glowing, energy. Use this month to brainstorm new ideas to move your career forward:
- Get into a class that enhances your physicality and restores your vibrant health
- Review self-tapes and edit them down to a maximum length of 1-2:00 minutes. Be ready to use them as visual examples of your castable type and range.
- What castable type is missing from your reels and clips? Now is the time to create a clip that fills that gap.
- Learn a new skill that adds marketability to your toolbox.
- Meditate every morning and ask for Divine Intelligence guidance for your next empowering career steps.
- Write new affirmations for the career you desire. Create a vision board.
- Spend time with imaginative play living the life and career that you want.
- Nurture yourself by cooking an amazing meal at least once a week.
- Dance outdoors when and wherever you can.
