While reading Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden, I came across this line:

What I discovered that afternoon was that when my body felt heavy, I could move with great dignity.

I use this trick too!  Whenever I feel anxious during a presentation, I imagine myself 200 pounds heavier and I feel calmer.  I don’t shake as much and I feel more self-confident.  It’s as if I’ve made myself big enough that nothing can blow me over.

I had a dream in which I was part of Superman’s support team.  I was his intelligence officer.  I did a damn good job, but he hated me.  He would never let me go on the missions and made me stay at home instead.  He gave all of us on the support team multiple choice tests.  The scantron he gave me was always half full and I had to spend half of the time erasing.  Fuck that guy.
