Being an actor is not for the faint of heart.

The delicious high of booking your first co-star!

The agonizing low of being left on the cutting room floor after you’ve told all your friends and family “your episode” is airing tonight!

The delightful twist of getting a straight-offer because you’re a recommendation of a casting director who loves your work.

The devastating turn of being told hours before your call time that your role has been cut and you can kiss that pay check goodbye.

Choosing an acting career is like getting on a roller coaster that’s being built as you ride it.

Strap in. Hold on. Enjoy the ride?

Yeah, right…

Who can “enjoy” getting released from two pins in the same week?

How do you say “weeeeeee” when a certified letter arrives in the mail saying your agent has dropped you?

Then again, there’s nothing like the feeling of locking in with your scene partner and immersing yourself so deeply in the world of your character that hearing the word “cut” catches you completely off guard.

I don’t know about you, but I’m never getting off the roller coaster.

But I’m done feeling sick to my stomach.

And this is where mindfulness comes in.

Mindfulness is like dramamine for The Actor Roller Coaster. Let's get into it...
