Presence, spontaneity and other tips for a more fulfilling life

It's a story I hear again and again. "I took an improv class, and it changed my life/outlook/confidence..." etc. We all deal with some level of uncertainty on a daily basis.  Likewise, we engage in conversations and relationships, work in groups, make choices, mess up, and choose the next step. In this brief article, writer Kim Quindlen lists the life lessons that she gained from playing improv. ​Some of these are:

• Be in the present moment
• See the gift in mistakes
• Just listen
• Say "yes, and..." Accept the other person's reality as valid, and add to it.
