Relating
Sometimes relating to circumstances isn’t as easy a process as we want it to be. We can objectively look at a role and completely understand it, even have some incredible insight, but when it’s time to start saying “I” instead of “he/she” something in our brain shifts. “I” am a school teacher. “I” am a scientist stuck in an elevator. One way to relate, is the “as if”. Or how I use it is, “being a school teacher is like…” or “being stuck in an elevator is like…” After the like you can put something that is personal to you that will help you better relate to the circumstance. The “as if” can be used for many different aspects of preparing a piece of material. Who knows, maybe being stuck in an elevator for you is like being stuck in a dentist’s chair…
