I've been stage managing day time dance rehearsals the last six weeks, with performances this weekend, which means I've been going to work six hours earlier than usual (which has thrown my entire life out of whack). I commented to my partner the other day that I'm looking forward to getting my morning routine back - and it felt so good to realize that I for the first time in my life *have* a morning routine. I similarly have realized that for things to become a sustainable routine, they need to evolve organically into my life. I've been slowly working my way through Artist Way (trying for at least the third time to finish it), and even when I'm not actively working on a week in the book, I've been keeping my morning pages. My hope with my return to morning routine is to add a morning walk with my pups. I am hoping this next week to experiment with placement - get up, brush teeth, walk pups, morning pages, then breakfast? get up, brush teeth, morning pages, walk, breakfast? get up, brush teeth, morning pages, breakfast (current standard), then walk?
I'll be in NY next month - any chance you know folks performing I can go see? Or know anyone who might get me in contact with a stage manager I can shadow?
