We have our family mask, our work mask, our friend mask…
And in most cases each of those masks have several variations based on which family members or work associates or friend groups we’re around.
These masks that get created, however, the ones that we wear, aren’t always fitting to who we want to be or how we ideally want to present.
We let people manipulate our masks… we let criticism and influence steer us away from our own tastes… we sometimes wear a mask for so long that we forget that it’s outdated or that we’ve outgrown it or, worse yet, what it even looks like…!
But once you realize that it’s acting and masks… the beautiful thing is… you can reclaim your power as an actor.
You can choose in this moment that you want to adjust your mask, shed a layer that’s no longer relevant, or add a component that your highest self would have.
Take a few moments today to “lay” your masks down and take a closer look.
Are they each aligned with who you most want to be?
Are there little tweaks that need to be done that you can take care of today?
The ones who wear only one mask are limited.
Be free. Expand your closet. Be anything and everything you want to be when the time calls for it.
Make taking masks off and putting new ones on seamless… smooth… invigorating…
Limiting your spirit to just one is a situation that makes none of our spirits feel free.
