The Improvised Keep Going On Song

Refuse to improvise. Follow and do everything by the book. Do not deviate. Do this for 3 days. Flagellate yourself with a wet noodle every time you don't follow the rule. If someone asks you a question and you are not 100% sure to be able to prove your answer with facts and online references, then do not answer. For example, if someone asks you "how are you?" don't answer the question, tell them "I can't answer this question", because you cannot be factual.

At the restaurant, never order what is on the menu. Always ask for a strange mix of something, that doesn't usually go together. For example, mix salad and soup together in the same bowl. Ask the waiter "Please, I want to order this salad and soup together, please make sure the chef puts the salad inside the soup bowl." When your food order comes, eat it, however it came. Do this at 5 different restaurants. Do not explain this to your mates at the table.

Each day for the next week wear something that is not usually used as an article of clothing. Wear it all day. To work, to a date, to a job interview, to bed.

Put your writing arm in a sling, as if you have a broken arm. Don't use that arm all day for anything, not even your fingers.

Get in groups of 3. One person is the Spaceholder, another is the Problem-generator, other is Improvisor. The Problem-generator creates a problem, and the Improvisor needs to solve that problem using anything they can use at their arms reach, without moving out of their seat. For example, one problem could be "make a fishing line". The Improvisor could grab their headphone cable and twist it into a fishing net and explain how they would make the fishing line.

The Problem-generator gives the Improvisor problems for 10-15 minutes and then the whole team changes roles. The Spaceholder gives feedback, tells the Improvisor when they are cheating, when they have used that solution before, and coaches the improvisor to get unstuck.

After a while, your access to the Unknown, to your Being, to your Archetypal Lineage, to your Bright Principles will take over and they will speak through you.
