consistent time & place (but inspired not at the laptop?) 9:16
Due Oct 22 -- Consistent Time & Place

"I wish I could record videos with my laptop, but often when I'm inspired, I'm not near my laptop..." Inspiration is good, but consistency is required for the practice of authentic speaking. For most of us, inspiration is not sustainable for practice. In part because you'll often get discouraged if your inspiration isn't reciprocated by your audience's engagement. For sustained practice, see it as a sustained practice! How then to relate to inspiration? I would recommend habituating the writing down of ideas whenever inspiration comes... but then dedicate yourself to a consistent time/place when you record videos. During your planned time/place for making videos, take out those ideas you wrote down, and pick one that inspires you in that moment :)

Sometimes, I don't know what to talk about, what topic can I speak about. It is like I say to myself, "You have nothing to share or you are not an expert really of anything, so why should someone else listen to you?" When a friend starts to ask me questions and I answer with excitement, then I realize, well maybe I do have something to say. Wow, exploring this feeling could be a topic too !
