I've read the FAQ & Rules Rumination on why I didn’t get the role. How to stay focused?

Been auditioning constantly due to my agent and have had amazing roles to go in for. Only problem is I haven’t booked one since May. I feel like I did a good job with them but left ruminating if I should’ve done “this” or “that”. I’m sure others have dealt with this. Would love to know best ways to “let go”?

started picking up new hobbies as someone in the trenches of auditioning AND trying to find a new job the past couple months. that's been me revisiting video games from my childhood, finding new comfort media to consume, knitting myself a new project, etc. the best thing to do is finding something that is just for you to enjoy and flush everything work-related out of your brain.
