Be open to where it goes.

This is a fresh experience.

Don't try to put it into past patterns, you know, which is like being the present.

Don't like just be in the past about this.

Don't just say they always do this to me.

Don't have like some story about it that you're bringing into it because it just closes off all of this possibility to actually.

I know how this is going to go.

I know what they're going to do.

I know that they're just going to say this.

And then you're like, no, you know, why don't you just take this as a new as a new experience?

It's about being in the present.

Always OK to say, let me think about it.

No, see, that's big for me because I have like anxiety.

OK, see, I'm sure you know about business, but is that what they say?

Well, that's one of it.

Interesting, because in the moment, like if they're like, oh, well, what if what if you write a second script before we pick you up?

I'm like, OK, you know what?

Like, why don't I just agree to that?

No, they said they'd pick up my show after one script and have to write a whole second script.

You know, and you go, yes, but it's always so.
