1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,720
Speaker 1: I'm always asking questions, and the reason why is because

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,240
the fund begins when you start researching for answers such

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,839
as is it wrong to come across to others as

4
00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:12,480
being codependent on God? Plus why does it always feel

5
00:00:12,519 --> 00:00:15,400
like bad news is brewing? My name is Errow. I'm

6
00:00:15,439 --> 00:00:18,000
a daily writer, a silent wolf. I stand on the

7
00:00:18,039 --> 00:00:21,480
sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate.

8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,879
I call it the daily Mess, a chronological walk through

9
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,879
an everyday world. Yeah, it's my morning writing as a

10
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,640
receiver of thoughts and ideas. We as people tend to

11
00:00:30,719 --> 00:00:32,479
throw it to the side because we think we're going

12
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,159
to deal with it later. Well, when a subject arrives

13
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,479
inside of me, I know it's time to dig in.

14
00:00:38,039 --> 00:00:41,640
It's still keeping that daily journal, but by doing the research,

15
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,679
the picture becomes clearer. This is the daily mess. Are

16
00:00:46,679 --> 00:00:49,280
we doing wrong if we act like we are codependent

17
00:00:49,359 --> 00:00:54,200
on God first and foremost? The term codependent doesn't actually

18
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,039
describe a person's relationship with the Higher Power, but according

19
00:00:58,119 --> 00:01:01,479
to mental health experts, there can be unhealthy forms of

20
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,519
our dependence on the Holy Spirit. A healthy relationship with

21
00:01:05,599 --> 00:01:10,319
the Creator is one of loving dependence, not codependency. Many

22
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,519
faiths teach us to build that relationship with trust, a partnership,

23
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,560
or a covenant. Let's break down the definition of codependency.

24
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,680
It's when sense of self worth and well being come

25
00:01:21,799 --> 00:01:25,640
from another person in a healthy relationship with God. Well

26
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:31,239
being comes from God, not from seeking validation. Things change, though,

27
00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:34,200
if a person does good things expecting God to see

28
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,319
it and then reward it. This act and reaction can

29
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,719
actually stifle a person's personal growth. So be aware while

30
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,599
keeping your faith. It's great to give, but just don't

31
00:01:45,599 --> 00:01:50,120
expect anything in return. Hey, coming up next, Why does

32
00:01:50,159 --> 00:01:56,120
it always feel like there's bad news brewing? Hey? Thanks

33
00:01:56,159 --> 00:01:58,480
for coming back to the daily mess. Why does it

34
00:01:58,519 --> 00:02:02,400
always feel like that bad news is brewing? This is

35
00:02:02,439 --> 00:02:07,439
the result of cognitive biases, media business models, and the

36
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:13,639
amplification of social media. Our brains are locked on survival mode.

37
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,439
We've got those instincts and they are constantly being exploited.

38
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,080
This can distort our view of the world. The truth

39
00:02:21,199 --> 00:02:25,759
is we are required to pay attention to all things negative.

40
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,520
Psychologists believe this is part of our need and desire

41
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,360
to survive. We're constantly aware of the potential of their

42
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,960
being a threat. Even if you don't realize it. Your

43
00:02:37,039 --> 00:02:40,879
focus really is on the bad news. We tend to

44
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,439
overestimate the likelihood of events I happen. To call that

45
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,759
writing a story before it happens. Doom. Scrolling is a

46
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,280
real thing. We scroll through social media to feed our brain,

47
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,360
which needs to know how close the danger really is.

48
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:02,599
We are the generation of heightened anxiety, hopelessness, and stress,

49
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:08,120
always on high alert. Yeah, a distorted perception of reality

50
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,960
him Merril. And that's the daily mess.
