I was on day one of a new film set today and I felt a dramatic energy drop in the middle of the day. My brain quickly did the checklist to see what the culprit was and I quickly confirmed neither my sleep nor my eating had been helpful in the previous 24 hours (it is amazing how adjusting those things alone can cure so much!)
Still wanting to be at my best, I attempted to pull my focus in- but the generic self directed command “Stay focussed” did not seem to help.
Instead I found that zooming in to micro details brought back some of my resourcefulness.
After all much of our work is a series of decisions, tiny evaluations we make as we trek forward on the thing we are creating in the world.
Guiding questions when the energy sags:
What needs my attention now?
What makes me excited about this tiny thing?
How can this small thing in front of me be the best I can make it?
Little chunks are good for tired minds.
