Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction. Unplugged because we will always say
Speaker 1: yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.
Speaker 1: So let's turn it into a tool. This is Arrow unplugged.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, it's been ten days since this path
Speaker 1: was connected to the daily writing of a physical podcast
Speaker 1: called The Daily Mess. Ten days have gone by when
Speaker 1: other things in life happen. No matter what we buy
Speaker 1: on Amazon or from the super Walmart, time is something
Speaker 1: that you can't purchase, and you're going to waste a
Speaker 1: lot of time trying to squish yourself into the tiniest
Speaker 1: of spaces, and when it doesn't balance out, the journey
Speaker 1: becomes twisted and sometimes torn. Keeping a defragged journal has
Speaker 1: been an amazing tool for me to add to that
Speaker 1: daily discipline. It helps me put the future into the present,
Speaker 1: to lay out the expectations on a page and physically
Speaker 1: create a path of creating peace and not stress. To
Speaker 1: be honest in pointing out where the creative process could
Speaker 1: be a triggered experience, I mean, come on, Planning out
Speaker 1: a ten day absence was extremely difficult for me to
Speaker 1: digest all in the name of having no time. Where
Speaker 1: we learn is on the page, go back fifteen days
Speaker 1: in your life and physically view the planning. And if
Speaker 1: you didn't plan that right, there could be the sign,
Speaker 1: the thing that's triggering you, the one thing that's pushing
Speaker 1: you in directions that you didn't want to go. You
Speaker 1: learn a lot from the visionary and you stay on
Speaker 1: a path of less anxiety. Hey, it's arrow. This is
Speaker 1: the daily Mess, a chronological walk through an everyday world.
Speaker 1: I am a daily writer, the silent wolf. That means
Speaker 1: I sit on the edge, I watch, I listen, I study,
Speaker 1: then we activate. This is the daily mess. There's always
Speaker 1: a daily requirement. Nothing says we have to live up
Speaker 1: to it. But we can learn from the aches and
Speaker 1: pains caused by getting too much or not enough. And
Speaker 1: who better to know that than doctor Vivick Murphy, our
Speaker 1: present US Surgeon General, who has stepped out and made
Speaker 1: our addiction to social media a critical issue. He wants
Speaker 1: Congress to put a label on digital apps, you know,
Speaker 1: like that of alcohol and cigarettes. Since the early part
Speaker 1: of the nineteen nineties, we've seen the shrinking mental stability
Speaker 1: and huge rise in health issues that doctors, oh, they've
Speaker 1: got to fix for you. Here, take this pill teens
Speaker 1: that spend three hours on a digital device double their
Speaker 1: risk of depression. Nothing can happen until the government approves
Speaker 1: a label. But here's the thing we have to think about,
Speaker 1: the world of social media has always been the wild
Speaker 1: wild West without long lists of warnings and or rules,
Speaker 1: and with the warnings from the Surgeon General actually help
Speaker 1: ease our habits on digital apps and which ones will
Speaker 1: be labeled the most dangerous. More importantly, where does one
Speaker 1: go to be healed? We don't need another pill. We
Speaker 1: just need to break this habit which I have been
Speaker 1: struggling with for a very long time. And one of
Speaker 1: the ways that I'm dealing with this habit is I
Speaker 1: set up appointments. I cannot answer emails or do anything
Speaker 1: on social media when I'm inside this recording studio. That
Speaker 1: is a discipline that is a struggle when it comes
Speaker 1: to answering business emails. That begins at twelve thirty. It's
Speaker 1: I go into a job. Twelve thirty is when you
Speaker 1: show up and you do what you need to do
Speaker 1: in the shortest amount of time possible. Do not travel
Speaker 1: off and watch CNN dot com, don't go do something
Speaker 1: on Fox, don't go over here, for entertainment tonight, do
Speaker 1: your business, set up an appointment, and make sure that
Speaker 1: you don't overdo it, because when you're starving for content,
Speaker 1: oh that imagination will say, just give me a second.
Speaker 1: I'll be okay. But how do you feel about this?
Speaker 1: The US Surgeon General wanting a label to be put
Speaker 1: on digital apps. I'm maryol and that's the daily mess.
