Congratulations on your commitment to this program.

Here are your LESSON ONE

ACTION CHALLENGES

Action Challenge 1

Notice and seek out moments when you feel uncertain. For example, if you

walk into a party and don’t know a soul, see if you can really hang out with

the uncertainty of that situation. I don’t know, but you may need to do a lil

party crashing. If, however, this leads to any kind of arrest, you’re on your

own, dude. For all of us, some sense of uncertainty is not far off. Breathe

deep when you feel it and welcome the sensation.

Three times I noticed I felt uncertain:

2.)__________________________________________________________

3.)__________________________________________________________

Action Challenge 2

If someone asks you something that you really don’t know the answer to,

be up front about not knowing. “Don’t pretend that you know more than you

do, ok Bubbee?”

Action Challenge 3

This week see if you can catch yourself—five times—attempting to push

away uncertainty. How did you do it? Write this down so that your patterns

regarding the unknown start to become clear to you.

1.)_________________________________________________________

2.)_________________________________________________________

3.)_________________________________________________________

4.)_________________________________________________________

5.)_________________________________________________________

Action Challenge 4

Go for a walk and relish what is unknown during that journey. Start to

welcome and discover the uncertainty that is ever present.

Check box after completing your walk. Just do it.

Action Challenge 5, The Non-Actor Challenge.

This one is for you Non-Actors. As I said - this program is for you. Even

though at times it’s going to feel like I’m only talking to the actors. So, let’s

nip this in the bud right now. In the chart below when you see, for example,

“Audition” on the left hand side of the page, I want you to write on the right

side of the page your equivalent. So for example next to “audition” you may

write “present your ideas to your co-workers”, or “ask Vivian for a date”, or

“ask for a raise”, “perform your song at the farmer’s market”, or “ face that

blank canvas, pick up your brush and begin.”

This way every time you hear the word “Audition” during the Program, you

will know what it means to you. This exercise will keep you engaged in this

Program. Don’t think this is ever NOT about you. Have fun. Start filling in

your equivalent, and as you go through the Program feel free to add more

to the right and left sides of the chart.
