1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,759 Speaker 1: Stream thinking. It's learning how to trust what is in 2 00:00:02,799 --> 00:00:05,360 your presence now. To get that requires some practice. This 3 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,639 is what I do every day, one sheet of paper, 4 00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:10,359 just ten minutes, write about whatever is moving through your 5 00:00:10,359 --> 00:00:14,800 presence of right now, with absolutely no judgment. Stream thinking 6 00:00:14,839 --> 00:00:18,320 actually sharpens your skills as a listener, as a communicator, 7 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,440 and as an activator. Learning how to trust what is 8 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,879 in your right now. This is stream thinking today. We're 9 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,800 going back to August thirty first, two thousand, twenty four. 10 00:00:27,839 --> 00:00:31,239 I'm strong on that one, two thy twenty four. Somehow 11 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,799 we knew it. We just knew it wouldn't go away COVID. 12 00:00:35,039 --> 00:00:37,960 The latest reports show it's on the increase, the highest 13 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,679 it's twenty twenty two. A news story reported that deaths 14 00:00:41,679 --> 00:00:44,039 are also on the increase, which is kind of weird 15 00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:46,840 because so many people in medicine have physically told me 16 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,000 that it's nothing more than just a cold. More masks 17 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,439 are being spotted in public, and the list of no 18 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,359 shows at work is increasing. People congregating indoors to get 19 00:00:56,399 --> 00:00:58,799 out of the heat leads the way as to how 20 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,039 this is spreading all over the place again, especially when 21 00:01:02,039 --> 00:01:04,079 it comes to traveling. We're not holding back on that. 22 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,040 Somehow we knew it would never go away. The CDC 23 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,599 reminds each and every one of us to be vigilant 24 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,079 stay ahead of the COVID curve through the physical act 25 00:01:14,359 --> 00:01:19,680 of always being aware. How did you react in twenty 26 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,920 nineteen when the rumors were just starting to happen. In fact, 27 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,560 that's how they treated it. It's just a rumor. What 28 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,719 do you mean a pandemic, this thing called COVID. We're 29 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,920 getting to that point in our lives right now and 30 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,400 it's only been really five years where people just aren't 31 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,120 thinking about it anymore. But yet we lived it. We 32 00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:41,040 went through the lockdown, and we've had to wear the masks, 33 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,560 and we have fought about it. We have lost friendships, 34 00:01:43,599 --> 00:01:46,079 we have lost family members, my mother I lost my 35 00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:50,319 mother through COVID. Will our hearts ever truly heal or 36 00:01:50,439 --> 00:01:52,599 is it set it aside and we'll deal with it 37 00:01:52,719 --> 00:01:55,640 later or out of sight, out of mind. But it's 38 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,680 still there and people are still coming down with COVID. 39 00:01:58,959 --> 00:02:02,560 And yeah, for some people people it's just a common cold, 40 00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:06,120 but for others it could be their final breath. So 41 00:02:06,519 --> 00:02:09,120 how are you staying ahead of the game while keeping 42 00:02:09,159 --> 00:02:13,919 one foot back there to remind yourself how serious things 43 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,039 really got, or did you even think of it that way. 44 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,439 I still wear one of my rebellious moments I do. 45 00:02:21,759 --> 00:02:25,479 It's my hair. Until COVID I was wearing it professional short, 46 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,680 but today it's in the middle of my back. Why 47 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,439 I don't know, except to say, how dare you put 48 00:02:33,479 --> 00:02:38,599 us in a place where everybody just suddenly stopped and 49 00:02:38,719 --> 00:02:41,960 had to grow again, but in a different way that 50 00:02:42,039 --> 00:02:45,360 it's very hard to explain because nobody's talking about it, 51 00:02:45,719 --> 00:02:48,240 but we're coming down with it. I'm Eryl and that's 52 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:48,919 stream thinking.
