Write an article based on this "Keep your piece short. Memorize your part. Do a mock audition. Ask your peer or mentor for advice."
article: An audition piece is meant to give the director a taste of your abilities. Two to three minutes is plenty long for an audition. If your piece is shorter, you can spend more time memorizing each part. Usually, auditions will have a time limit. Research what the limit is beforehand and practice to keep well within it. You will feel less anxious if you don't feel rushed. Practice your piece until you can go through it without a script. You will appear much more confident to the casting director if you come without notes. This will let you focus less on the words and more on the emotions you want to convey. Don't want until the week or night before to memorize your piece. Practice a little every day to avoid stage fright or forgetting your part. If the audition involves a cold reading (where the crew gives you a piece that you've never read before), practice cold readings at home. You will appear confident if you know how to work with lines on the spot. If you have run through your audition piece inside and out, you will feel much more confident in your abilities. Treat each practice run like the real audition. Don't start over if you mess up. Instead, take a moment to compose yourself, and keep going. When you practice your piece, run through it in front of other people. Practicing alone and in front of others will feel different. Work on them with a coach, close friend, or a fellow performer. Accustom yourself to the feeling of being watched. Tell them you want their honest opinion, and solicit them for constructive criticism if they offer praise. If you're aware of weak places, you can improve them before the audition. If you struggle with anxiety before auditions, let your coach or acting friend know. They can tell you what works for them and give advice based on your personality.

Write an article based on this "Imagine what your ideal life would look like. Identify careers that fit with your personal values. Make a list of actions you can take to start living your ideal life."
article: Think about who you'd be if you were fully expressing your values. Where would you want to live? What type of work would you do? How would you spend your free time? Make sure your choices are aligned with the personal values you've identified. For example, you might decide that in your ideal life you'd be helping people get fit through dance. You might imagine yourself living in a big city on the coast, teaching cardio dance classes at a gym, and going to the beach with friends in your spare time. Additionally, you might decide you want to own several pets because you love animals. Finding a career that fits your personal values helps you find meaning and purpose in life. Think about the types of tasks you might enjoy doing on a daily basis, what type of environment you'd want to work in, and who you'd like to work with. Then, look for a career that reflects these values. For instance, let's say you want to help people in your community and do community impact projects. Careers that have these qualities might include nonprofit work, government and political jobs, social work, urban planning, and public health. Brainstorm 3-5 things you can do to start living your best life. Break down your list into steps that are easy to complete. Then, pick 1 thing that you can do today. Going forward, choose 1 small thing each day that you can do to start aligning your life and career with your values. Over time, you should find that your life is more aligned with your values. This process can be slow or quick, depending on what's comfortable for you.

article:
Perhaps your spouse doesn't want to move because they don't want to be steamrolled in the decision-making process. You can combat this by including them in all of the planning. Not only can involvement help them feel like they have a say in the situation, but it may also make them more excited about moving. Allow your spouse to look at homes with you, scout out neighborhoods, and choose design options. They may find that moving presents them with better choices when they are able to see what the home and area are like. If you want to move to a new city, state, or even country, plan a vacation there. Being immersed in the area may help your spouse to change their mind when they see what the new environment has to offer. Choose activities that will highlight the location and find things to do that your spouse likes. Planning your trip out ahead of time to include what your spouse will enjoy could make all of the difference in the world. If you are able to, rent an apartment in the new location for a few months. This allows your spouse to really get an idea of what it would be like to move there. You may find that they like the new area because of this, or you may even discover that after living there, you would rather not move at all. If you still can't come to an agreement, at least try to come to a compromise. Suggest renting your house out for a year, and moving to your ideal spot until the lease is up. If your spouse still isn't happy, make an offer to move back into your home. However, if your spouse is willing to try out a move for you, you must be good on your word and move back if they don't love the new location. To make the agreement even more official, put together a contract of sorts. Include that you agree to live in the new home for a year and you will move back to the original home if you aren't both happy with the new place. Having a document such as this may make your spouse feel more confident that you will, in fact, move if they don't want to stay after a year.
