PART 1
- More detail about integrating good advice and philosophies gathered from deep conversations with experienced peers in your world.
- When performing as a a comedian, the challenge of finding the balance between being 100% yourself, alert and ready for whatever happens in the moment - and sharing your written, thought-out ideas.
- Accidentally 'being yourself' early on in comedy, and recognising this fact later in your career when you start to understand what that actually means.
- How the concept of 'being yourself' is something that brings positive results when integrated into your life at every level.
- Celebrating securing a regular showcase slot once per month at a comedy club - with 3 fellow comedian friends - and how this will have a positive knock on effect with more experience of running, hosting and marketing a show - as well as performing longer sets on stage.
PART 2
- The concept of worrying, caring what other people think about what you do, who you are, what you say, how you carry yourself etc.
- Integrating the idea that everyone around you is in their own reality tunnel, you are a minimal part of theirs - and what their opinion is of you is absolutely none of your business.
- The freedom that comes with realising your thoughts, emotions insecurities, anxieties - are all in your head - and not something anyone else can hear or see or feel.
- The fear-based trauma responses of living in a tough city growing up that influence how you feel in the present - no matter how irrational it is, and despite how safe and secure things are.
- Small town mentality - how it hardens you but also can linger as a negative influence.
- The 'self righteousness' that sits within the belief that everyone else is thinking about you.
- The infinite possibilities behind someone else's decision making processes - and how important it is to accept you have close to no influence on that whatsoever.
- The importance of not falling for the trap of feeling 'triggered' when a stranger judges you.
- Understanding that everyone has their own issues, triggers, traumas emotions - and these have a huge bearing on how they feel about their surroundings and how they choose to act.
