Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.
So turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged
stream thinking. It's learning how to trust what is in
your presence now. To get there requires practice, very easy practice.
Just show up and make it part of your daily discipline.
It's just one sheet of paper. Ten minutes write about
whatever is moving through your presence, of what is right now,
without any judgment. Stream thinking sharpens your skills as a listener,
as a communicator, and as an activator. It's learning how
to trust what is right now. This is stream thinking today.
We're reading from August fifth, twenty twenty three. I call
them transitions, not mood swings. Transitions mainly because being mindful
puts each and every one of us in a moment
of awareness. My transitions are part of the cause and effect.
I ask what has put me on this path? How
can we listen to it so that on future days
we can easily recognize the moments before the frustration. Once
you identify the opening emotions, how are your transitions making
you feel during your moment of relationship and reaction to
yourself as well as others saying that your moody isn't enough.
That's a label when in fact, your mind, body, and
soul have transitioned to this place of uneasiness, learning how
to listen to it, share your compassion, don't let it
go without a voice. I heard a quote just the
other day. The quote was, many of us see self
conscious as being self awareness. I'm going to share that
one more time. Many of us see self conscious as
being self awareness. Self awareness is building yourself up. Self
conscious is tearing yourself down. So I want you to
plant that inside your forest, want you to be able
to grow with that. When you are self awaring, you
are building yourself. It's not to knock yourself down. It
is to build up your moment. So when I say
I call them transitions, not a mood swing, that's saying, hey, look,
I'm aware of how I am presenting myself right now.
If I'm going to use self conscious as a way
to get through this day, then I should prepare myself
to rip myself down, to create a hole to step
into a valley floor, When in fact, self awareness is
going to take my transitions and allow them to have
a voice. Because we're going to ask questions and we're
going to make it through this mountain, either around it,
above it, beneath it, whichever way, through self awareness, we're
going to grow forward. So understand that you might feel moody,
but like I said, it's a label. Your transition is
saying you are right here. Listen to a question it
and try to figure out how you got there so
that the next time that it happens, you have a better,
wiser decision to make on how you can get through
it and have a greater day. I'm arrow, and that's
stream thinking.
