00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: Hey, there really is a difference between a podcast, a listener,

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,400
and a podcast host when it comes to hosting. You

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,320
want to give your listeners something to chomp into. Ero

4
00:00:09,519 --> 00:00:12,720
dot net a r r oe dot net. There's such

5
00:00:12,759 --> 00:00:17,000
a wide variety of conversations on seventeen different podcasts, from

6
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:21,559
the Foody Channel to Ya authors, sports, spiritual connections, so

7
00:00:21,679 --> 00:00:25,920
much more. Ero dot net, r r oe dot net.

8
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:31,559
Enjoy your exploration. Stream thinking it's learning how to trust

9
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,960
what is in your present place of right now, and

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,399
to get there requires some practice. Here's what I do

11
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,119
every single day. It's just one sheet of paper ten

12
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:44,759
minutes write about whatever is moving through your presence of

13
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,399
right now. Doesn't have to be a certain subject, just right,

14
00:00:47,799 --> 00:00:51,960
and there's absolutely no judgment. Stream thinking will sharpen your

15
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:56,920
skills as a listener, as a communicator, and as an activator.

16
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,719
It's learning how to trust everything that is in your

17
00:01:00,799 --> 00:01:05,480
right now. This is stream thinking today. We're reading from

18
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,000
March fifteenth, twenty twenty five. Now. Being a daily writer

19
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,480
for thirty one years, it hasn't been what most people assume.

20
00:01:12,599 --> 00:01:16,400
Keeping a daily journal is all about. Like meditation, it

21
00:01:16,519 --> 00:01:19,920
takes time to get into the physical presence of why

22
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,560
writing daily is so valuable and so important. I still

23
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,120
have so many things inside the possession of each and

24
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,920
every one of these books. I mean, thoughts were dropped

25
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,640
in there decades ago, and they still sit there looking

26
00:01:35,719 --> 00:01:38,439
for the time to be seen as well as heard.

27
00:01:39,159 --> 00:01:42,079
The stories have been shared so that someone else doesn't

28
00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:44,879
have to do it. We always complain about how life

29
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,400
is moving too quickly. Well, my thirty one years of

30
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,719
daily writing holds onto life. Yet to my shock, it's

31
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,519
not as many journals as you would think, which opens

32
00:01:53,599 --> 00:01:56,760
up your eyes as to how much you might have

33
00:01:56,959 --> 00:02:01,959
missed being the daily writer or not being the daily writer,

34
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,400
because how many times has a thought been inside your

35
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,280
moment of now and by the time you get to

36
00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:10,319
a place where you can write it down or put

37
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:14,400
it inside your digital device, it's gone. But yet, for

38
00:02:14,479 --> 00:02:17,599
that moment, not even thirty five forty seconds ago, it

39
00:02:17,719 --> 00:02:20,479
sounded like the greatest thing that you've ever come across,

40
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,199
and you're about ready to break through to be seen

41
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,240
as well as heard. But because you didn't put it

42
00:02:27,319 --> 00:02:30,879
on paper in that moment of now, boom, it's gone.

43
00:02:31,159 --> 00:02:33,080
So that's what I mean about stream thinking. You've got

44
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,800
to be able to pick up that digital device no

45
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,439
matter where you are and just talk it in there

46
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,759
and then come back to it when it's time to

47
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,800
bring more life to the pages as well as to

48
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,319
the storyline that which you are preserving. And it doesn't

49
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,120
mean that you have to keep everything. I just do.

50
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,240
In fact, Julia Cameron's the artist way, I believe in

51
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,680
the opening pages, she states you can throw it away,

52
00:02:54,479 --> 00:02:56,840
but the moment that you throw stuff like this away,

53
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,719
it's gone. Everything else from that point for will be

54
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:06,039
based on the interpretation of what you assume took place.

55
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,439
And even though that you lived it in your moment

56
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,360
of now, I still don't go one hundred percent behind

57
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,080
that you believe that that took place, because what is

58
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,879
your proof? Well, my memory right. No, we rewrite a story,

59
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,039
and that part of our creative process does not sit

60
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,360
there and say, well, you know, I'm going to go

61
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,039
exactly to the t as to what's going on. No,

62
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,599
it's not. It's going to rewrite the story because that's

63
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,240
how we are designed as people. That's how humans deal

64
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,599
with the everyday world. I'm Meryl, and that's stream thinking.
