Putting lipstick on the pig.
Eye shadow on the crow.
Metaphors of exaggeration.
Exaggeration can be a tool that relieves sensitivity and expands possibilities.
Exaggeration builds the imagination muscle.
I can hear Steve Martin on Saturday Night Live, saying “Well excuse me!”
He powered down the threat, powered up his own creativity, and got a laugh.
If you can laugh, make others laugh, or see the humor you are speaking fearlessly.
Many memory tools are based on exaggeration, I wonder how many people remembered me with a beard as hairy Gary?
Now there is a exaggeration safety net for those who worry by asking-
'What’s the worse that could happen?’
Or my favorite question I attribute to Voltaire, “In the best of all worlds, how would it be?"
Want to have an adventure into the Land of Exaggeration,
How bad could the economy go?
How deep the depression?
BUT REMEMBER that to delve to the depths of depression the Laws of Consciousness require the sane (those who remember being source) to ascend to the best of all worlds.
How prosperous can the economy be?
To speak fearlessly one needs to have a sense of the extremes, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Being prepared for The Audiences of Withhold. The stern clapless.
The Audiences of Appreciation. The enthusiastic clappers.
The Audience of Vegetable Tossers.
Exaggeration can move us out our comfort zone into areas of possibilities.
Exaggerate emotionally usually flattens sensitive feelings.
Exaggeration of thoughts often stops them entirely and leaves moments of clarity and room for feedback.
Physical exaggeration can create humorous new movements, and improved self-confidence and self esteem.
Exaggeration as a speaking tool builds gestures, improves postures, grows metaphors, excites beginnings, expands the body of a presentation and captures an audience.
Don’t worry about being extreme, if you can stay at the extremes you’ll probably become famous look from Voltaire to Steve Martin.
It take a coach to get past our fear of embarrassment to get to the Land of Exaggeration, call Gary C Smith for help. 510-722-3212
