Aaron's Notes
Week Eleven: Personal Crafting Schedule
Happy Tuesday! Welcome back to Acting Class Daily. We’re taking our weekly work further with access to my handwritten notes for each audio chapter, the glossary gigantum and … a new nominee for our digital wall.
Have a question about a phrase you’ve heard? Let us know and we’ll translate!
PERSONAL CRAFTING WORK; the things we do to move ourselves forward in our artistry, instrument, and craft.
Our craft is creativity. Our work is to grow.
Making our work of moving forward, the work of personal creative growth.
There are challenges in our work and muscles built to take on those challenges.
Seven muscles we invest in across every tool, practice, muscle-builder and exercise of The Elysium Aesthetic:
Specificity - finding and facing your exact unknown.
The Elysium Lens - the power of productive perspective.
Embracing Our Portal - the language of your artistic soul.
Never Settling For The First Taste of Success - resisting the pull to settle, continuing instead to forage fearlessly into the unknown.
Unleashing Our Olympic Spirit - doing the work for every muscle until it’s instinct, all to unleash that part of you no-one can compete with ... your talent.
The Taste Test - re-facing your exact unknown vs. judging and deciding if you’re there.
Letting It Go - resisting the intellect’s attempt to check-in, compare and control.
For more on the muscles of preparation, revisit chapter four of our EA Introduction.
We had a tradition of capturing quotes on the Elysium walls. The torch has now been passed to the digital realm. Here’s this week’s nominee … and the .GIF it inspires:
'‘A new color … oh wow!”
