I’ve been thinking a lot about how Marcus Aurelius used journaling to reflect and stay centered, even as a Roman emperor dealing with immense pressure. It got me wonderingcould this kind of practice help someone in a fast-paced, high-stakes career like directing?
Directing often feels like juggling a million things at once: creative decisions, tight deadlines, and managing a team. It’s easy to get overwhelmed or lose sight of the bigger picture. I’m curious if anyone has tried journaling as a way to process the chaos, clarify their thoughts, or even just decompress after a long day.
Do you think taking a few minutes to reflect, like Aurelius did, could help maintain focus and emotional balance in such a demanding field? Or maybe there are other ways you’ve found to stay grounded when the pressure’s on? I’d love to hear your thoughts or experiences!
