Pre and Post Show Rituals

January 17, 2024 • Episode 64

Episode by request!

My own thoughts and rituals surrounding pre and post-show rituals, and ways I keep my performance the primary function of my day (spoiler alert: it's not by doing more things).

I'll throw out some suggestions for keeping your nervous system nice and tidy- including foods to eat and when to eat them. And don't forget to bring food with you please!

Personally, I have one singular non-negotiable pre-show ritual, and I'm pretty neurotic about it. Whatever rituals you construct for yourself, I hope they are in service of your own capacity to ENJOY YOUR WORK.

Resources:

Stress School Webinar- for making friends with your nervous system! Tools from the wonderful JPB of Brain Body Resilience. $25 at this link
Pop over to my IG to grab a screenshot of the Grounding Exercise I read during the episode. #audaciousgrounding
If you're interested in the post performance reflection workshop (and other amazing resources) go give Janelle at Cirque Psych a follow!

Don't go back to sleep.
