<p>Valerie Bertinelli said commutes to set for her new project are a time for "reflection and meditation"</p>
<p>"Even after 53 years, there's still an excitement and clarity in it all," she wrote of her career in the entertainment industry</p>
<p>Earlier this month, she revealed she was starting work on a new production for Lifetime</p>
<p>Valerie Bertinelli is feeling grateful for a career that's spanned five decades.</p>
<p>The celebrity chef, who's been filming a new project in Vancouver, British Columbia, wrote that the excitement of being on set never gets old in an Instagram post on Wednesday, June 25.</p>
<p>"I'm beginning to like these hour long commutes in the morning," she began the caption to a selfie. "It's a really nice time for reflection and meditation. I listen to solfeggio or binaural music to ease any lingering anxiety that has gratefully subsided exponentially in the last few months. I study my lines for the scenes ahead in the day. I am for sure fatigued and exhausted from the hours, but it's the exhaustion of a job well loved."</p>
<p>Bertinelli began acting as a child and launched to fame playing Barbara Cooper on One Day at a Time, which ran from 1975 to 1984.</p>

<p>"Even after 53 years, there's still an excitement and clarity in it all," she added. "The gratitude and camaraderie I feel to be working with so many talented and lovely artists in each and every department that makes up this crazy business is something that just feels like home. I will never ever take any of this for granted."</p>
<p>Earlier this month, Bertinelli revealed that she was about to start work on a new production for Lifetime.</p>
<p>"It's an amazing script written by an amazing writer and the cast is beyond my wildest dreams," she wrote on Instagram. "It's a beautiful role where I must break down all my barriers, shut out the outside noise and be openly vulnerable. It's the only way to let the real, authentic emotions flow."</p>
<p>Bertinelli noted that she hadn't acted in a single-camera production for "at least" four years.</p>
<p>She added that she saw "fear and doubt" in her eyes in some recent photos she'd taken.</p>

<p>"I know, in reality, this is just my process and I'll be fine," Bertinelli continued. "I've been doing this for over 50 years, (it's like riding a bike, right?) but I just love this script so much and I wanna do it justice. There's always that thought that I'm gonna be the one that f---s up the whole project, right?"</p>
<p>In an Instagram post on June 16, Bertinelli opened up about savoring simple pleasures before arriving early on set the next day.</p>
<p>"It's the small things that can always make me happy and grateful," she wrote. "Dancing sunlight streaming through a window in the morning? Happy. 😊"</p>
<p>"4:18a call-time tomorrow morning?" she added. "Maybe not happy per se, but I'm so grateful to be working 🥰"</p>
