Hello magical ones, today’s well-being read is all about these common distortions, many of which I have experienced myself, in navigating the industry, auditioning, etc, and all of which I have observed close up from auditioning with, working with and being surrounded by so many performers, dancers, etc in our industry for over 11 years now.
For me, shifting these distortions was such a powerful and required piece of alchemy, that needed to happen on the energetic and mindset level, in order for me to align with the career manifestations that I was calling in – that I was auditioning for, that I was putting so much effort into to actualising in my life.
It became so apparent to me over the years and through my own journey, that these distortions can really separate us from our desire.
They can prevent us from aligning with what we’re calling in, because they take us out of our aligned energy, and on a frequency level, can prevent us from being the energetic match to what we desire.
Being able to shift and transmute these distortions, is part of the energetic mastery that is required of us to be powerful co-creators of our careers.
That quote really comes to mind. It’s something like: it’s not about getting the desire or the goal that you have. It’s about who that goal requires you to become in order to have it and to hold it.
This is how I see so much of the manifestation process. Yes, we get to have the thing, we get to have the contract that we’re calling in or the job or the experience, whatever it is, and we get to fully enjoy living it out.
But for our soul’s evolution, there are certain things we’re being called to become embodied in and to have mastery of, in order to be that person, who is living out that goal, that experience, that job, etc.
7 common distortions to shift – to up level your auditioning and career manifestations 
1. Hedging at auditions rather than staying plugged into your long game.
This can look like: deciding how successful you’re likely to be at an audition based only on physical factors that you can see that day, rather than showing up with a full, present heart and mind, staying rooted in your long term vision for your career success and allowing room for the Universe to work miracles on your behalf.
2. Focusing on the ‘status’ a job could give you and the perceived ‘acceptance’ from others that could come with it, rather than the feeling of your soul’s satisfaction and the jobs that match that for you.
3. Thinking about your nerves/ what everyone thinks of YOU in the audition room, rather than focusing on bringing the audition material to life and being of service to your audience (and potential future audience).
4. Putting the casting panel on a pedestal – this takes us out of our authentic energy, which is sooo magnetic when we can relax, acknowledge that everyone is human, just like us, and let ourselves shine.
5. Putting the job on a pedestal (on a frequency level, pushing the job away because we don’t actually feel worthy of it).
6. Pulling the plug on believing in yourself in the in betweens, rather than utilising this time to keep compounding your energy in your daily life (e.g in between audition seasons or when finishing a job or contract and the next hasn’t manifested just yet).
7. Focusing on scarcity vs limitless possibility.
When we focus on the abundance of the Universe and the infinite possibility that is available to us in each moment, we carry ourselves differently. Our vibration/ frequency is open and magnetic and our brain sees more opportunities, because we are putting our focus there (instead of scarcity and limitation).
To listen to an in depth break down of these common distortions and powerful ways to shift them, tune into this week’s episode of my podcast ‘But First, Alignment’ (linked below and available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Podbean).
May you step into your auditions, performances, career manifestations and daily life from your own authenticity, magnetic energy and thrive in your dream career.
Until next time,
much love xx
Grace.
