I'm going to take a few moments now to prepare for rehearsal.
And to do that I'm going to close my eyes so I can see more clearly.
I go inside now to that sanctuary that feels good.
A place that's perfectly calm and peaceful.
Where in a few moments I will emerge from this inner sanctum ready to learn,
Grow,
And rehearse in a fresh and powerful way.
But for now I take a moment just to breathe in and out.
In and out.
In and out.
Continuing to let that oxygen enter my body.
Sending a message to get ready for the good things to come.
The water I consume hydrates and supports my body and mind for the physical work.
And as a person with needs,
Wants,
And desires,
Intentions for my life,
I take a moment to acknowledge and honor whatever I need in this moment.
And having attended to those things,
It means I can now set them all aside for the time being.
My personal life and all thoughts and intentions not relevant to the rehearsal I'm about to enter,
I leave them at the door.
They will be there ready for consideration later.
And I trust myself completely to do this now.
In this moment I sense my own body in the place where I rest and prepare.
My breathing reminds me of my location.
My amazing mind which seems to have infinite capacity to learn and grow.
This feels so good and I bring this clear,
Calm,
And connected awareness into the work I will do.
My mind is open and I allow and prepare additional space for what I will learn.
I activate my senses in this moment.
The ability to see,
Observe,
To watch,
And absorb.
The capacity to hear,
To listen,
And to quickly connect the instructions,
The insights,
And the content of those with whom I work.
And I acknowledge and bring to mind the other people in the rehearsal.
I send them good thoughts and support as they make their contribution.
I see them experience their learning and growth as well.
I may receive direct or indirect feedback in this rehearsal and I prepare myself now to hear that feedback and I welcome it as I consider how the information will cause me to integrate what I already do well.
I let it generate a state of mind that feels like capacity and growth so that I perform even better today and in the future.
When I speak,
My words and phrases are resonant and full,
Allowing my chest and torso to project,
Letting my whole body move as an instrument of performance and expression.
I love this work and I dedicate myself to the practice of my craft now.
I'm grateful and engaged.
I'm bringing myself up now,
Coming to complete awareness and presence,
Full of life,
Focus,
Clarity.
I'm ready to go.
It's time to learn.
Dipping with a celebrity's budget.
Every second of all has begun.
