I performed in front of an audience.
For eight weeks last term, I was part of a rag-tag bunch of twenty or so individuals who got together every Monday night, telling stories, making stuff up and having a hell of a lot of fun. We were teachers, tattoo artists, students, personal trainers, professionals. All with our own reasons for coming, and united in our desire to step outside our comfort zones and try something new - and maybe make some friends along the way.
Our tutor, Emma Brittenden, was an absolute breath of fresh air while being incredibly encouraging and delightfully naughty. She encouraged us all from the get-go to always be 'a bit shit'; to give ourselves permission to not be perfect. It's this lesson that's at the heart of improv, and, if you ask me, life itself.
Improv isn't just about acting or comedy or making a dick of yourself on stage. It's about sharpening your brain, inspiring your partner and failing spectacularly and being more than comfortable with it.
We learned story structure and we learned the rules of the games, but we also learned how to read cues and how to step back and let someone else lead. We learned to let go. We learned to relish our failures.
A couple of weeks ago we showcased what we'd learned in front of an audience of family and friends. And it was both terrifying and terrific.
If you're keen to repeat my madness, I highly recommend this class as a way of dipping your toes in.

When we are feeling at our best, life feels easy. We perform very well at work, at school, and any activity. How often do you feel that way?

We perform very well at work, at school, and any activity. How often do you feel that way? That is the state of "flow", coined by the positive psychologist, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, a state we would rather be in than in the distractions of invasive thoughts such as 'I can't do it', 'it's too difficult', 'I am not good enough'.
Flow is a state of total absorption, or immersion in the present. Being mindful of the present and enjoying it with a mind of gratitude which makes us enjoy more of what we are doing right now.
But what if we get distracted with other thoughts? We may have had an argument earlier and struggle to focus on the task at hand. Work feels boring and annoying in comparison to the time we spend with friends and family.
Be grateful for the little things in life and foster friendly and warm feelings at every moment and in every occasion until you shift your mind and feel empowered to live each moment of your life in the flow.
