Take inventory. Sit down and make a two-column list. Title the first column, "Times when I've been myself" and the second, "Times when I do my act." There's nothing intrinsically wrong with doing your act, but it may limit your ability to be spontaneous, connect with your audience, and discover new parts of yourself.[an error occurred while processing this directive] Take a risk. In the next month do something that takes you out of your element. You'll be less able to fall into old behavior patterns.
The true joy of life lies in rediscovering over and over the delight of living in the moment. That only happens when you let go of trying to be, do, and act certain way.
Use the Rehearsal Checklist below to plan your presentations.
