Speaker 1: I'm always asking questions, and the reason why is because
the fund begins when you start researching for answers such
as is it wrong to come across to others as
being codependent on God? Plus why does it always feel
like bad news is brewing? My name is Errow. I'm
a daily writer, a silent wolf. I stand on the
sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate.
I call it the daily Mess, a chronological walk through
an everyday world. Yeah, it's my morning writing as a
receiver of thoughts and ideas. We as people tend to
throw it to the side because we think we're going
to deal with it later. Well, when a subject arrives
inside of me, I know it's time to dig in.
It's still keeping that daily journal, but by doing the research,
the picture becomes clearer. This is the daily mess. Are
we doing wrong if we act like we are codependent
on God first and foremost? The term codependent doesn't actually
describe a person's relationship with the Higher Power, but according
to mental health experts, there can be unhealthy forms of
our dependence on the Holy Spirit. A healthy relationship with
the Creator is one of loving dependence, not codependency. Many
faiths teach us to build that relationship with trust, a partnership,
or a covenant. Let's break down the definition of codependency.
It's when sense of self worth and well being come
from another person in a healthy relationship with God. Well
being comes from God, not from seeking validation. Things change, though,
if a person does good things expecting God to see
it and then reward it. This act and reaction can
actually stifle a person's personal growth. So be aware while
keeping your faith. It's great to give, but just don't
expect anything in return. Hey, coming up next, Why does
it always feel like there's bad news brewing? Hey? Thanks
for coming back to the daily mess. Why does it
always feel like that bad news is brewing? This is
the result of cognitive biases, media business models, and the
amplification of social media. Our brains are locked on survival mode.
We've got those instincts and they are constantly being exploited.
This can distort our view of the world. The truth
is we are required to pay attention to all things negative.
Psychologists believe this is part of our need and desire
to survive. We're constantly aware of the potential of their
being a threat. Even if you don't realize it. Your
focus really is on the bad news. We tend to
overestimate the likelihood of events I happen. To call that
writing a story before it happens. Doom. Scrolling is a
real thing. We scroll through social media to feed our brain,
which needs to know how close the danger really is.
We are the generation of heightened anxiety, hopelessness, and stress,
always on high alert. Yeah, a distorted perception of reality
him Merril. And that's the daily mess.
