Day 18
Dear Stylelife Challenger,
Here is your Stylelife Challenge Assignment for July 18th.
TASK 1
Read the following ebook on threads, hooks, open loops, and other ways to supercharge a conversation:
Loops, Threads, and Hooks
TASK 2
Listen to the following audio file, demonstrating today’s exercise:
Spontaneity Training
TASK 3
Practice the exercise presented in Task 2.
There are two ways to do this.
1. Get together with a friend, and take turns presenting each other with a random word to create a story from.
It is important to start telling the story immediately, without waiting longer than 15 seconds.
2. If you don’t have a friend or wing to do this with, go to one of the following websites. These websites contain random word generators. Base a story on the random word presented by the generator; make sure you recite the story out loud:
Beginner Level Random Word Generator
Advanced Level Random Word Generator
TASK 4
Today’s field assignment is to practice creating open loops and multiple threads.
You are going to do this by going out and delivering an opener.
But before the opener and/or responses are complete, start another thread.
This thread can be:
A. One of your stories created during Storytelling day.
B. Another opener.
C. An observation or something situational.
D. A story inspired by something she said, like the exercise in Task 3.
E. The Ring Finger Routine
Don’t worry if this feels awkward or like you have attention deficit disorder at first. With enough practice, it will become natural.
Note: In a normal approach, you will want to create multiple threads, though not necessarily during the opener. However, for the purposes of this exercise, we will be creating them during the opener so that you can best practice them.
Today’s assignment is complete once you have successfully delivered two openers and interrupted them with a second thread.
Tip: Don’t think about it too much in advance. Go out into the field and open, and you’ll find that starting another thread will come easy to you once you have your intent set on it.
