Hi guys, welcome back. This is Shower Thoughts with Sarah Shower. I'm Sarah Shower. This

episode is going to be how to become the person you want or pretend to be the person you

want. The old saying like, fake it till you make it, it has a lot of

science behind it. So that's what we're going to be talking about today. And we are going to be

going the route of method acting and getting its character and how to inhabit or embody a

character, which can help you, you know, embody a character and then, you know, kind of develop

your range, right? a lot of people have

typecast themselves as a certain type of person and I'm here to say that you don't have to

typecast yourself if everyone is always telling you the exact type of person you can be that's them

right they're not the director of your life and if this were a play right if they're not the director

of your life if they're not even the casting agent right then why it does it matter what they're going to say about, like, if you're

the type of person who does this or doesn't do this? So you can expand your range and we're going to

talk about the psychological effects of method acting. I am going to obviously touch on neuroscience.

And I did, before we get into that, I don't know if you guys noticed,

but this past Sunday was National Book Lovers Day. And I do have a bit of a hall in front of me.

I'm also going to talk about the book that we will be discussing or touching on during this

series, because when it comes to embodying a character, right, you need to have a high degree of kind of

agreeability. You know, you need to suggest to yourself like different character changes.

And so we will have to be entering flow state, which is an altered state of consciousness.

And I do have the book Flow and the author's name I cannot pronounce.

Let me try to spell it out for you.

So this is the book that I will be touching on, Flow, to get into an altered state of consciousness.
