Having trouble giving too many fucks? Improv/Theatre class will solve all of those problems.

Revelation

I can't pat myself on the back enough for this one. It has transformed my life completely. It is such a sweet taste of freedom to be able to express myself so much better now. It feels freeing to not over think social situations as much any more. It feels great to be able to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. It feels fuckin' amazing to be able to dance, as ridiculous as possible with no fear of judgement from anyone else at the club. It feels awesome to be able to tell someone to fuck off, when they are trying to pressure you into doing something you don't wish to do. It helped me realize that I should have more fun with myself, and stop taking life so damn serious. This class, combined with exercise and healthy diet has made me a happier person, and that happiness has radiated onto my family. I use to be really introverted, and even had trouble conversing with my family, but now it just comes much more naturally. It's increased my relationship with them and hence has made us all happier.

Another area of my life that theatre class has helped me in, is in my ability to focus. Once you memorize the lines, a big aspect of becoming your character is by focusing on your character's intentions. You learn to block out the audience, pay attention to your character's intentions and just focus on what you are doing.

Not to mention, you might end up taking a strong liking for acting. I'm switching majors from Psychology to Theatre, worst comes to worst I become a Theatre teacher and/or Life Coach. I know it It's helped me deal with criticism, and it's also a great emotional outlet.

CONFIDENCE. You won't believe how many of your problems stem from lack of confidence. I use to always double think myself before I did something, and now I just go out and do it. Go out of your way, step out from that comfort zone. Face your fears. Tackle that fucking anxiety and become the person you are holding back from being.Take the steps necessary to build confidence in areas of your life that you want to feel better about.
