Brag Thread: Celebrating Accomplishments and Gratitude

Ah! I am home for a hot second and I thought I would make a little TikTok because today is Monday. The Olympics are over. I don’t know what to do with myself because I don’t know which iconic cafeteria pastry I should be chasing after now. But I did think today would be a great day to do a brag thread. So in the comments, I want you to post about yourself. Something you are very proud of having accomplished, having learned, having tried. In the comments, share it with me as part of today’s Ask Retina. And the reason why I do this is because as an actor, as a creative person, we get a lot of F’s, a lot of fails. There’s a lot of times we just get ghosted and we don’t hear back. We don’t get the work that we do. But what we can do and what we can control is to take note of our accomplishments, to sit for a moment in the glory and the pride of the thing that we have just done and reflect and talk about why we’re grateful or what we’ve learned or what we’re going to take with us into the next job, the next class, the next opportunity, the next thing that we get to learn. So I want you to brag on yourself in the comments and everybody else if you are reading those comments, please lift them up. Okay. Do that for me and I will see you on the next one. And thank you so much for being here. Talk to you soon.
