Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.
Wow wow Wow. One step into this forest this morning,
this new sun, and something has changed. It's only sixty
degrees this morning. Now. My first move was to look
up at the leaves on the trees. Were we truly
traveling into a brand new season? Because the leaves don't lie,
they know when there's going to be a brand new season.
This is the time of year where people change as well.
With less sunlight and soon to be less time, our
mindsets and mood swings. Oh my god, it becomes the
new norm. It's called seasonal effective disorder, autumn depression dun dun,
dun dun, and it will affect the way that we
eat and sleep. This is awareness and this is how
it has to play a key role in what we're doing.
And the reason why is because a society has made
it way too easy to escape with endless amounts of
delicious junk food, energy drinks that promise a mighty mighty up,
and whatever it takes to break free of the worst
curse the aches of fall. Writing is a brilliant method
of meditation. It calms the brain, it helps you physically
be present in one place. It's called mindfulness, and it
does help mental travelers growing in ways that they need
positive energy. Do all you can to stay away from
social media because I'm that guy. I'm that guy that
when I start feeling that little bit of a low,
I gotta go get me some clickbait. I gotta go
and find out what Amazon is selling cheaper than what
they did yesterday. I've got to go find out what's
going on in the news. Is there a new earthquake,
a forest fire? Is there a new hurricane? Ah? I
gotta know, because I've got this thing called called SAD
seasonal effective disorder. Hey, Zara, this is the daily mess
of chronological walk through in everyday world. I am a
daily writer. And if you think I'm the only one
that's dealing with autumn depression, You're crazy. It's everywhere, and
it's starting to happen because we're in the early stages
of this thing called fall. So let's make ourselves aware
of it by having a conversation. Just bring it out,
get it out of your system. Writing is a form
of meditation. Tell yourself that over and over again. I
know you don't want to write. I know it's a
pain in the butt, and I know that you don't
want people to read what you're writing. But writing is
a form of meditation. And be aware of what you
are eating or drinking because it will affect your mindset.
This is the daily mess. What is it about us?
Somewhere in your future someone is going to ask you, well,
why did you do that? And your answer is going
to be that's why I ask what is it about us?
Splurging is a real word, usually with I think I
deserve it, only to realize, oh, we could have used
that to buy that because this has gone wrong? What
is it about us? Not just a money thing? From
inviting the wrong people to the party to landing a
new job that's just as bad as the last one
who's in charge? What is it about us? We know
we spend way too much time binge watching, playing video games,
and surfing the web for those oh, clickbait opportunities. It's
time that we're never going to get back, and yet
we will complain day in and day out, what is
wrong with my life? It's moving too fast? What is
it about us? Are we lost then found? Oh? We're
lost and hey, look we're found. You know who Waldo is? Right,
it's that game where it's like, where is Waldo? And
somewhere in that picture you may or may not find Waldo. Well,
even Waldo, the greatest hider of all time, he can't
figure us out either. What is it about us? I
don't remember my parents being this way. They seem to
have their life together or was that just great acting?
Was that the way they were brought up in the
way of saying, don't wear your feelings on your sleeve.
That could have been my dad's moodiness, That could have
been my mother's silence. What is it about us where
we feel like it's like, da da here I am
to save the What am I here to save? Oh?
We've got too many superheroes in the world already, Marvel DC,
Come on, give us a chance to dream. Do we
dream too much? In fact, maybe we need to dream
more about things that we can't get our hands on
because we've made it too easy to say ah, I
bought that last week. What is it about us? When
we get it, do we do anything with it? No?
How many iPhones do you have and what number is it?
You sit back and you can't help but go, and
then it happens. You gotta have something else because that
moment of feeling absolutely one hundred percent normal isn't high enough,
and you gotta go get another rush. I'm Errol, and
that's the daily mess.
