I'm going to capture this because I think it's going to be important for me to remember

Gerund

I'm a few minutes away from going into my first day of rehearsal for the New York City

event, specifically for the dance portion.

Here's the way I feel right now, basically like I want to puke, like I want to jump out

So my mind is saying, "What did you get yourself into?"

Again, I'm very conscious of the fact that I created this whole thing.

Anyway, so wanting to puke, really nauseous, want to jump out of my skin, the mind saying,

Why didn't you just do a normal book tour like everyone else?

Why did you have to just go above and beyond?"

That's basically what's happening right now.

So we'll talk again after first day rehearsal.

If I were to get hit by a bus tomorrow, this is the one idea that I would want to leave

So if I can communicate it effectively in words and then I do get hit by a bus, I'd

I'll go onto my next adventure," but in terms of this particular event, so you may know

I had a little bit of a career in dance and fitness.

I am not a trained dancer, so I have no technique.

So you will see my geekiness as we do whatever we do, but I just love dance and movement

so much and I think it is so transformative.

I think we have so much wisdom that's locked in our bodies and we live in such a sedentary

For a lot of folks in the world, they're sitting on computers all day long or they're looking

at screens all day long and they've lost touch with this incredible vehicle for creativity

There's so much that we're doing that we're just going to have to figure out on the fly,

which is exactly the whole point of the book and of the idea that you don't need to know

everything in advance, that you can take risks, that you can step into new zones and you can

have a really good time doing it with beautiful people who are up to the same things in life.

I heard that music about, "Where have you been all my life?"

And then push, yeah, push, keep everything right here, otherwise I'll fuck up our whole

The entire production is here, out in Pennsylvania.

We've been going since 7:45 this morning, and not going to lie, definitely tired.

We're starting to work through a lot of kinks, stuff not really fitting together.

We had to change out some lighting cues, but we're going to see how this whole thing gets

I don't know, I got to stand behind my book.

Such an opportunity for transformation, because once you get it, once you play with it, once

you experiment with this, it will give you freedom like nothing else.

So we're here at day two in Pennsylvania.

Going to do some full run-throughs today of the show, like full dress rehearsal.

I am definitely tired, but also really excited.

It's that strange phase when there's so much energy and so much excitement, but also a

lot of just physical exhaustion in so many different places.

I've been thinking and tweaking and changing, but I feel good and I feel excited and I can't

believe that there's only a few days left to get all this material in this noggin and

have it all work the way that I envision it.

Obviously I saw the version that we did yesterday, but it's still like...

I have no ability to see anything really.

It's a full body, soul-stirring experience.

And if it feels weird, we'll change it back.
