But if keep ignoring the problem... you are creating a habit.
This habit you are creating or developing is to become even better at ignoring the problem...
Everything you do more then one time is creating a habit...
Good or bad. It's a habit.
Focus on how your sitting in your chair right now... I bet you almost never do that... And by just focusing on it right now, you probably adjusted to a better more comfortable posture.
Go back and read that again...
You're exercising something... HABIT MUSCLES !
We just made a habit together!
The word habit is a bad word these days. And that's a little sad.
Even "good habit" sounds almost like an oxymoron in today's day and age.
What about "GREAT HABIT ?"
John has a great habit, of making sure he smells good when he comes to set. In fact, I would say John's habit is so well developed, that I can't think of a time when I can remember John not smelling good. Come to think of it, all of John's girlfriends tell me the thing they love about John is how amazing he smells.
You're starting to think this story is a tad weird right?
That's because we assume if someone is exceptional at something like that, then he's got a mental disorder, "a habit": John got put on a drug for OCD and he's stopped worrying about the way he smells. It's great. John smells like dirty laundry and Mott Street on a freakishly hot day all the time now! I'm so glad, John became normal. And we get to hang out all the time now too... because John doesn't have any girlfriends... they noticed his breath smelled like fisherman's warf at low tide! Isn't that super, John kicked his habit!!!
So what is my point? If you know that you don't audition well... your going to have a problem. And it's probably going to lead to frustration... And if you don't confront that, then you're (as I said before) creating a habit... And it's a very status quo comfortable habit because most people think it's ok...
THE HABIT OF IGNORING A PROBLEM IS NOT OK, ESPECIALLY IF THE PROBLEM IS IN RELATION TO YOUR OWN PERSON.
INT. READER'S GUT - RIGHT NOW
FRUSTRATION:
LISTEN TO ME. I DON'T LIKE THIS, SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE. I WANT TO STOP FEELING FRUSTRATED.
Sounds like the begining of a great story to me... In the movie in your head who is playing the character of FRUSTRATION? I'm casting someone sexy, someone who can play someone powerful in a unique way, vulnerable but not at all victimly. Someone who stands out from the crowd.
More in part II ...
In the meantime...
you are right, ignoring a problem rather than facing it is not ok at all. You should face the problems and difficulties in life.. a Life Coach can help you identify areas of improvement and the steps you can take to address them ..
