00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,359
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say

2
00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:06,799
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,560
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow

4
00:00:09,679 --> 00:00:13,000
unplugged stream thinking. It's learning how to trust what's in

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,800
your present. To get there requires practice. I do one

6
00:00:16,839 --> 00:00:18,879
sheet of paper a day. Just give me ten minutes

7
00:00:19,039 --> 00:00:22,679
writing about whatever is moving through your presence of right now,

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,440
with absolutely no judgment. Stream thinking sharpens your skills as

9
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,800
a listener, communicator, and as an activator, learning how to

10
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,679
trust what is right now. This is stream thinking today.

11
00:00:35,719 --> 00:00:38,280
We're reading from July thirty, twenty twenty three. I was

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,039
stepping into a brand new book of writing, and it's

13
00:00:41,079 --> 00:00:44,520
always very tough for my creative touch because out of habit,

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,280
we build a relationship with how we place our fingertips

15
00:00:48,359 --> 00:00:51,640
on the places of release. Even the size of the

16
00:00:51,679 --> 00:00:56,439
writing book changes the perception of thought becoming reality. The

17
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,119
last stream thinking journal was with me for just over

18
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,759
three years. The textures have changed and so have the stories.

19
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:08,040
Especially with this particular writing book. It's unlike anything I've

20
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,920
written in before. Life is no different. We get focused

21
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,079
and used to the people, the food, the experiences, and

22
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,840
then something new is introduced, and as the receiver, we're

23
00:01:18,879 --> 00:01:21,920
invited to grow with the new movement and moment and

24
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,840
do all we can to not run away. This particular

25
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:31,040
writing book, I found it in the most odd ball place,

26
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,359
in the very place that inspired me to create a

27
00:01:34,359 --> 00:01:38,640
podcast on iHeartRadio, iTunes and Spotify called View from the

28
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,719
Writing Instrument. I believe that the reason why people do

29
00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:47,079
not release their writing is because they're hiding it. They're

30
00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:50,159
keeping it away from other people's judgment. And that's what

31
00:01:50,439 --> 00:01:55,760
this book was. It was found in a box. It

32
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,959
was given to me on my birthday in two thousand

33
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,439
and six. I picked it up on July thirtyth twenty

34
00:02:01,519 --> 00:02:04,640
twenty three and decided to write in it. But the

35
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,760
texture of the book is what caught me by shock

36
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:12,520
and surprise. Because all of those years hidden away in

37
00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:18,639
a box, it grew its own texture. It aged. The

38
00:02:18,719 --> 00:02:21,919
pages are very brittle, but I made a choice on

39
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,879
that particular day that it had to be written in.

40
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,599
My friends they wrote a little note. It was in

41
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,719
two thousand and six. They said, welcome to a brand

42
00:02:31,759 --> 00:02:35,599
new year. Perfectly okay with the fact that you would

43
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,560
like to dance with the inner child chasing a butterfly shadow.

44
00:02:40,159 --> 00:02:45,639
We wish you health, wealth and always forever friends. Wow

45
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,479
in a box hidden away until that one day in

46
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:56,240
the future. The texture changed, and I think, like I said,

47
00:02:56,319 --> 00:03:00,879
it compares to real life situations. It used to being

48
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,479
with the same people, eating the same food, doing the

49
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,120
same things over and over again. And when something new

50
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:13,039
is introduced, the texture has changed, and inside that moment

51
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,879
of feeling it with your fingertips and your emotions, you

52
00:03:17,439 --> 00:03:21,199
make a choice to pick it up or to walk

53
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:26,080
away in a box. For all those years from two

54
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,639
thousand and six to twenty twenty three, the very reason

55
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,000
why I created View from the writing instrument because I

56
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:40,080
too am a hyder writer. I'm Aaron and that's stream thinking.
