Each moment that we breathe is an opportunity. Either you can do something new or replay the same old broken record. We get a chance over and over again all our lives to change our lives. All we have to do is improvise in the moment instead of acting from habit.
Now this is actually where it gets interesting. In each moment if you can choose creation i.e. improvisation then you will have a string of improvised moments. Can you imagine how freeing that is?
In the beginning as creatures of habit we may be overwhelmed with the freedom of finding each moment fresh and improvised. So I suggest you start with an hour a day. Set aside an hour where you don't plan anything. You don't control anything. Set the timer and then just go!
Moment by moment discover what the next moment wants. Follow that impulse. The moment may say: go out now. Follow that. Get on the bus. Follow that. Get off. Follow that. Walk to the tree. Follow that. Look at the trunk. Look at all the details you can find. Feel the tree with your fingers. Glide your fingers across the surface of the tree trunk. Feel the energy of the tree. Follow all that. Hug the tree. Follow that.
You can do this for an hour every single day. Make a journal entry after your improvised hour. Welcome to the improv life. It will never be the same!
May the pulse be with you!
