00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Creativity is an addiction unplugged because we will always say

2
00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:06.879
<v Speaker 1>yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.

3
00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:10.119
<v Speaker 1>So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.

4
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:13.720
<v Speaker 1>My daily goal is to do everything I can to

5
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:18.399
<v Speaker 1>spend absolutely no time in my past. Then again, life

6
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:21.160
<v Speaker 1>happens and it delivers to me a phone call from

7
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:23.600
<v Speaker 1>a fellow broadcaster that I've known for thirty nine years,

8
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:26.640
<v Speaker 1>and you can't help but jump into that adventure driven

9
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:29.600
<v Speaker 1>by your past, to poke fun up, to continue releasing

10
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:33.159
<v Speaker 1>steam from misguided decisions, and to openly prepare ourselves for

11
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:36.719
<v Speaker 1>what he called the silver years, which I could not

12
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:41.679
<v Speaker 1>bite into. Huh uh. My inner attitude doesn't see a

13
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:44.759
<v Speaker 1>silver generation in the mirror. Maybe I would if I

14
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:47.280
<v Speaker 1>spend more time being part of that past that I

15
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:50.679
<v Speaker 1>don't like. I stay free of it. I get excited

16
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:53.960
<v Speaker 1>about each day gives me something new to learn. It's

17
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.960
<v Speaker 1>an automatic because I'm open to it. Just give it

18
00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:59.520
<v Speaker 1>to me. Sure there'll probably be changed, but I'm okay

19
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:03.280
<v Speaker 1>with that. I'll learn from that moment of change. I

20
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:06.000
<v Speaker 1>think age has a lot to do with the altitude

21
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:09.560
<v Speaker 1>of your attitude. It's not that we think young, because

22
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:12.040
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing worse than bumping up with somebody who is

23
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:14.239
<v Speaker 1>still looking like they did when they were a kid,

24
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:16.400
<v Speaker 1>but just they have crinkles on their face. Ah, it's

25
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:21.719
<v Speaker 1>stuck in their past. Grow with your future, Grow in taste, fashion,

26
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:27.359
<v Speaker 1>sound and smell. Stay away from your childhood favorites. Heys Aerow.

27
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:30.159
<v Speaker 1>This is the daily mass, chronological walk through an everyday world.

28
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.400
<v Speaker 1>I am a daily writer, the silent wolf. That means

29
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:37.680
<v Speaker 1>I sit out here on the sidelines. I watch, I study,

30
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:43.560
<v Speaker 1>I listen, and then we activate. This is the daily mess.

31
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:49.040
<v Speaker 1>I spoke with an expert yesterday on seasonal effective disorder

32
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:53.120
<v Speaker 1>SAD or SAD. Most people have no clue that they

33
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:58.120
<v Speaker 1>actually suffer from SAD. They blame their moodiness, overeating, and

34
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:01.719
<v Speaker 1>reasons for pushing people away on everything, but what it

35
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:05.480
<v Speaker 1>truly could be. Most people who suffer from seasonal effective

36
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:10.120
<v Speaker 1>disorder have extremely lovable dogs that know about the hidden

37
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:15.360
<v Speaker 1>sickness and provide those with sad companionship that other humans

38
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:19.360
<v Speaker 1>can't penetrate. Dan Granger wasn't shocked to hear how many

39
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:23.039
<v Speaker 1>lights I have turned on every morning, every afternoon, and

40
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:26.599
<v Speaker 1>at night. The slightest thing such as a shadow can

41
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:30.800
<v Speaker 1>swiftly reshuffle the foundation of sturdiness. He spoke of two

42
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:34.879
<v Speaker 1>questions to always ask what is the moodiness about? And

43
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:38.080
<v Speaker 1>how is it playing out in your moment of now?

44
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:42.479
<v Speaker 1>That one hit me? How is it playing out in

45
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:47.120
<v Speaker 1>my moment of now? Dan says these two questions serve

46
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:49.360
<v Speaker 1>as a tool that will return you back to the

47
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:54.840
<v Speaker 1>presence of what is going on right now? Ask questions daily. Write.

48
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Be aware that you aren't a constantly grumpy person. It

49
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:02.960
<v Speaker 1>takes a lot of awareness to get yourself through this storm.

50
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:08.120
<v Speaker 1>It's called SAD seasonal effective disorder. Do you feel like

51
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:11.639
<v Speaker 1>you're eating too much? Are you pushing people away? Do

52
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:13.680
<v Speaker 1>you feel like that you're moody or people are accusing

53
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:17.680
<v Speaker 1>you of always been moody? Is there enough light in

54
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:24.120
<v Speaker 1>your life? Seasonal effective disorder? Now, once again I do

55
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:26.919
<v Speaker 1>light everything up. You should see how bright it is

56
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:29.439
<v Speaker 1>in this studio today. I think it's brighter in here

57
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:32.680
<v Speaker 1>than it is out there outside this window, inside this

58
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:35.680
<v Speaker 1>forest in South Charlotte, North Carolina. It is so bright

59
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.639
<v Speaker 1>because I need to have light. It gives me energy

60
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:41.759
<v Speaker 1>even when I'm daily writing or doing my defrag journal.

61
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:44.479
<v Speaker 1>The lights it's not just one lamp on me, there

62
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:47.680
<v Speaker 1>are four lamps on me. And the downside of that

63
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:51.560
<v Speaker 1>is it's hot. It's hot. I mean you think it's

64
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:55.240
<v Speaker 1>hot outside. It is hot sitting in that chair because

65
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:57.639
<v Speaker 1>I have so much light on. And the way to

66
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:01.080
<v Speaker 1>understand it and to get by it is through awareness.

67
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:05.360
<v Speaker 1>We can make this happen. And having a dog really

68
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:08.719
<v Speaker 1>does help out because she or he is very much

69
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:12.280
<v Speaker 1>aware of if you're eating too much, if you're sleeping

70
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:16.839
<v Speaker 1>too much, if you're actually finding yourself in moodiness, and

71
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:22.480
<v Speaker 1>the biggest one probably pushing people away. Look into it,

72
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:26.560
<v Speaker 1>go ask a professional, because it really does exist. It's

73
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:30.639
<v Speaker 1>just that people won't talk about it. Seasonal effective disorder.

74
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:32.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm Eryl and that's the daily mess.
