1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: I love asking questions, and the reason why is because

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,559
the fund begins when you start researching for answers such as,

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,800
what's this sudden shift in retail? Buy one, get one

4
00:00:10,839 --> 00:00:14,000
free seems to be what we did yesterday? What are

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,000
we doing today? Plus are we afraid of the future.

6
00:00:18,399 --> 00:00:20,800
My name is Arrow. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf.

7
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:24,160
I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study,

8
00:00:24,199 --> 00:00:28,039
then activate. I call it the daily mess, a chronological

9
00:00:28,079 --> 00:00:30,600
walk through in everyday world. Yep, it's my morning pages.

10
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:33,439
As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people

11
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,200
tend to throw things to the side because we think

12
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,880
we're gonna deal with it later. Well, when a subject

13
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,240
arrives inside of me, I know it's time to dig in.

14
00:00:42,759 --> 00:00:46,039
It's still keeping that daily journal, but by doing the research,

15
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,560
the picture becomes clearer. This is the daily mess. The

16
00:00:50,679 --> 00:00:54,880
term bogo buy one, get one This is not as

17
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,039
common as it used to be. Companies such as grocery

18
00:00:58,039 --> 00:01:02,359
stores have up the annie by two get three free.

19
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:06,599
Insiders say it's to increase sales, manage inventory, and attract

20
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,599
new customers. Stores actually boost their revenue and reduce the

21
00:01:10,719 --> 00:01:14,920
likelihood of leftover stock. Customers see this as being something

22
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,040
of value Psychologically, it gets into our consumer thought process

23
00:01:19,159 --> 00:01:22,040
and truly does encourage us to add additional items to

24
00:01:22,079 --> 00:01:25,959
our shopping carts. Bundling items is proving to be a

25
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,159
modern day winner. Sadly, though, not all consumers are keeping up.

26
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,680
Many people think you can still buy one, get one free,

27
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,799
or get a big discount. They don't realize it truly

28
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,959
means buy two, get three free. You have to have

29
00:01:41,159 --> 00:01:44,560
all five. They don't want that many, and it sends

30
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,079
a sudden shift in disliking that business into their emotions.

31
00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:52,200
Another promotional move is to offer digital coupons for products

32
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,920
they're using QR codes. Not too many consumers are jumping

33
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:02,040
into this world, mainly because it requires effort. Nobody wants

34
00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:05,879
to work for three dollars off. Hey, coming up next.

35
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,400
Are we afraid of the future? Hey, thanks for coming

36
00:02:10,439 --> 00:02:13,439
back to the daily mess. Are people afraid of the

37
00:02:13,479 --> 00:02:16,719
future wait wait wait, wait wait wait wait? Afraid of

38
00:02:16,759 --> 00:02:20,560
the future or dreading the future? The two completely are

39
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:25,199
different experiences. Dread is described as being anticipatory fear, But

40
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:29,719
isn't that fear, It's actually fear tripping, a type of

41
00:02:29,719 --> 00:02:33,000
fear that gains strength by way of anticipating something that's

42
00:02:33,039 --> 00:02:35,719
going to happen in the future. Fear itself is an

43
00:02:35,719 --> 00:02:39,879
immediate response to a present moment or threat. Anticipatory fear

44
00:02:39,879 --> 00:02:43,439
puts focus on the possibility of their being negative outcomes.

45
00:02:44,199 --> 00:02:47,360
Fear is centered on the immediacy of this moment of

46
00:02:47,439 --> 00:02:50,680
right now. Learning the difference between the two helps you

47
00:02:50,719 --> 00:02:54,639
in the department of understanding your mindsets and triggers. Are

48
00:02:54,719 --> 00:02:57,919
your feelings right now because of something that is physically

49
00:02:58,039 --> 00:03:02,080
happening right now, or is your heart and imagination writing

50
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,000
a story that hasn't happened, but the future event has

51
00:03:05,039 --> 00:03:10,120
your attention. Physical versus possibility. Mental health experts say fear

52
00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:13,319
is looked upon as being short lived, whereas anticipatory fear

53
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,080
is going to stretch its mighty wings until the moment

54
00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:21,000
arrives in the future. This is why a lot of

55
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,240
people do fear the future. I'm Merril, and that's the

56
00:03:25,319 --> 00:03:25,960
daily mess
