Learning to see what’s happening “nonjudgmentally”– that is to notice what’s happening rather than merely seeing how well or badly it is happening.
Learning how to trust Self 2 to perform at its best.
Learning how to get the clearest picture of your desired outcome.
Quieting the Self 1:
The judgement produces verbal thinking that results in tightness, tightness interferes with the fluidity needed for quick movement and reaction.
Trust your Self 2:
If we let ourselves lose in touch with our ability to feel our action, by relying too heavily on instructions, we could seriously compromise our access to our natural learning processes and our potential to perform. Instead if we hit the ball relying on the instincts of Self 2, we reinforce the simplest natural way to the optimal shot.
Real Application:
In a dancing class many years ago, I could not step my feet correctly with the rhythm. My teacher told me not to think by your brain, just dance by your body. Then I sudden catch the right rhythm.
Two typical and persistent kinds of failed screenplay.
“personal story” bad script(The writer see what is visible factual, he is blind to the truth of life)
The “guaranteed commercial success,” is an over-structured, overcomplicated, overpopulated assault on the physical senses that bear no relationship to life whatsoever.

Sensory and imaginative are powers prerequisite to creativity. Writing also demand two singular and essential talents.
The first is literary talent– the conversion of ordinary language into a higher, more expressive form, vividly describing the world and capturing its human voices.Literary talent is, however, common.
The second is story talent– the creative conversion of life itself to a more powerful, clearer, more meaningful experience.
The material of literary talent is words; the material of story talent is life itself.
Story talent is primary, literary talent secondary but essential. Only by using everything and anything you know about the craft of storytelling can make your talent forge story.
