I look back over my last 10 posts and notice something interesting… I love exclamations! Six posts have !!, two have ??, and that leaves two that are just titles.
That’s probably a fair ratio for how I write in emails and how I talk, too.
What could that mean?
I’m pretty sure it just means that I’m enthusaistic and energetic.
How about you? You should check on your communications. Are you enthusaistic when you talk to people about your business, your family, your life?
It’s a big part of Improv. Scenes and shows are better when they’re high energy. Of course, they can’t ALL be high energy, but we sure do have a high percentage that lean that way.
And why is that? Because high energy equals fun. You never see a depressed person walking full-tilt. And besides Steven Wright, you don’t see morose comedians.
My recommendation for you: Walk faster this week and use more exclamations in your speech and your writing.
HAVE FUN!
(It’s way more fun than not having fun!)
Great post Toby & I’m all for walking faster & having more fun 🙂
Ok feel better now. Yesterday at physical my doctor said I was “excitable”. Said in reference to a high blood pressure reading. I thought, that’s something you’d say to a child……and I’m a very accomplished 51 year old woman. So I just told him that I appreciated his concern and that yes, I’d prefer to say I was “passionate”.
He really is a dear but I could have slapped him (in my excitement) when he said that.
