The Third Exercise: Changes in Self

The purpose of this exercise is to expand your sense of self.

Find circumstances under which you will make a phone call or calls during which

you speak to at least three people. Make sure that your relationship to each of them

is markedly different from the others. The change in your sense of self and how

differently you present yourself to each person will manifest itself while you are

dealing with the content of what you are saying to each other, in your tone of voice,

verbal idiom, even in bodily adjustments.

It is unimportant whether you talk to three people in the course of the same call,

make three separate short calls, or are interrupted by incoming calls.
