Over the past couple of weeks, I've been doing this exercise where my students do their Oscar speech and it's been producing AMAZING results in terms of confidence.
It gets them to really think about who they want to work with, who they appreciate in their lives and that it's not such a pipe dream as long as they have courage, confidence and work hard. It makes success real and not dependent on something outside of themselves but more that it begins within themselves - try it sometime in front of a group of friends.
Also, that there is no time for our neuroses, doubts and fears. I mean, we're human and we have them but the faster we get them out of the way, the better. If not, then we walk around in a bit of a trance - suffering, miserable, not present. No matter what, we just have to keep moving forward - even if it's a baby step.
I also remind people that amazing moment that they felt when doing they're speech - their Oscar moment ... well, every moment can be an Oscar moment, even in our scariest, most challenging/depressing times. It's up to us to choose.
