Speaker 1: Stream thinking. It's learning how to trust what is in
your presence now. To get that requires some practice. This
is what I do every day, one sheet of paper,
just ten minutes, write about whatever is moving through your
presence of right now, with absolutely no judgment. Stream thinking
actually sharpens your skills as a listener, as a communicator,
and as an activator. Learning how to trust what is
in your right now. This is stream thinking today. We're
going back to August thirty first, two thousand, twenty four.
I'm strong on that one, two thy twenty four. Somehow
we knew it. We just knew it wouldn't go away COVID.
The latest reports show it's on the increase, the highest
it's twenty twenty two. A news story reported that deaths
are also on the increase, which is kind of weird
because so many people in medicine have physically told me
that it's nothing more than just a cold. More masks
are being spotted in public, and the list of no
shows at work is increasing. People congregating indoors to get
out of the heat leads the way as to how
this is spreading all over the place again, especially when
it comes to traveling. We're not holding back on that.
Somehow we knew it would never go away. The CDC
reminds each and every one of us to be vigilant
stay ahead of the COVID curve through the physical act
of always being aware. How did you react in twenty
nineteen when the rumors were just starting to happen. In fact,
that's how they treated it. It's just a rumor. What
do you mean a pandemic, this thing called COVID. We're
getting to that point in our lives right now and
it's only been really five years where people just aren't
thinking about it anymore. But yet we lived it. We
went through the lockdown, and we've had to wear the masks,
and we have fought about it. We have lost friendships,
we have lost family members, my mother I lost my
mother through COVID. Will our hearts ever truly heal or
is it set it aside and we'll deal with it
later or out of sight, out of mind. But it's
still there and people are still coming down with COVID.
And yeah, for some people people it's just a common cold,
but for others it could be their final breath. So
how are you staying ahead of the game while keeping
one foot back there to remind yourself how serious things
really got, or did you even think of it that way.
I still wear one of my rebellious moments I do.
It's my hair. Until COVID I was wearing it professional short,
but today it's in the middle of my back. Why
I don't know, except to say, how dare you put
us in a place where everybody just suddenly stopped and
had to grow again, but in a different way that
it's very hard to explain because nobody's talking about it,
but we're coming down with it. I'm Eryl and that's
stream thinking.
