Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.
Speaker 2: So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged,
hey Saro, And this is vocal drag.
Speaker 1: Vocal dfragging is asking the questions and questioning the answers.
We all have an inner being. Julia Cameron likes to
call it the inner child. There's a voice inside of
us at all time, and if you're like me, there's
probably several different voices. But I just call those files
is what I do. Like your computer, it's just a
different part of my personality. But you've got to have
a defrag moment where you really do sit down and
ask the questions and question the answers. Because one of
the things that led me there. How many times have
you walked with somebody or even found yourself in a
conversation and you come up with the answer of, well,
I just don't know. You don't know why you're in
this mindset? No, I don't Why aren't you asking the questions?
Why aren't you finding the strength inside of you to
locate a solution of some sort? So to dfrag and
to start walking the path of being a defragger. It's
going to take some honesty from you to talk with
yourself on the inside. And notice I said to talk
with yourself, not at yourself and not to yourself.
Speaker 2: It's with yourself.
Speaker 1: When you walk that walk and you find it to
be a journey of learning to listen to the self
that you are, things begin to come together. You're connecting
in places that used to be filled and overtaken by anxiety, feared, shame, doubt.
The goal is to get to know you, and that's
why vocal defragging is so important to your process. On
a daily basis, and I do mean daily. I keep
two different types of de frag journals, a handwritten one
where I can physically go back and read my writing.
And I don't know about you, but maybe it's because
I've been a daily writer for thirty years. But I
can tell what mood I'm in by the shape and
size of my lettering, and I can go in there
and I can study what was triggering, what was putting
myself in a mindset of how I could have grown
out of that situation a little bit smoother than what
I did. And that's why defragging or journaling is so important.
This is vocal d frag. Today we're talking about something
that we deal with daily, yearly, lifetime. The word kept
k E p T. It came up to me this
morning while I was in prayer. The things that we
think that we're keeping away from universal energies, we kept
them away. We didn't talk about it, we didn't put
ourselves in positions where we could have easily gone through
the evolution or basically just trying to understand a better solution.
Speaker 2: We kept it.
Speaker 1: But the thing is, oh, is that what you think
you're keeping, it's going to be uncovered no matter what.
It may not be from you, it may not be
from this generation, but all that you have kept will
be seen. One of the reasons why I'm not afraid
of sharing my daily writing, my journals are open for
anyone to read, is because it's who I am. You
have a question, some of the answers are going to
be in there. But the word kept, what are you
keeping from others around you? That really actually could lead
to a peaceful heart. We all make mistakes. I always
say that we can learn from them, turn them into
a tool. That doesn't mean that you have to hit
the streets of the everyday world and start bragging about
every mistake that you have done. But you can keep
a journal of some sort, or even a vocal d frag.
You go back in and you listen to the vocal tones,
the pitch, the volume to try to figure out what
your emotions were in that moment of now when you
vocal dfrag and then when you write things out in
a journal, and a lot of people fear that because
they don't want people to read what they're thinking, what
they're experiencing. It's a protection device. I get it. But
eventually you start to see a different side of your
personality and other people see it too when you start
to break things down and they're going to want to know, well, what.
Speaker 2: Are you doing differently, what's the big change here?
Speaker 1: I'm seeing the change, and in that moment, we honestly
go through a mode of we feel like we're being judged.
I was researching for an interview that I've got on
Monday with a huge journalist that has traveled all over
the world. She has been in Syria, she's been in
the Arab country, she's been over in Afghanistan, Ukraine, war
and One of the things that she brings up in
the bio the secrets that were kept of Ireland's war
in the nineteen eighties. See, there's that word kept. It
was kept away from so many people. And when I
get with her, I'm going to talk to her about
the reasons behind why it was kept a secret. This
is through the eyes and the experiences of a journalist,
not a government, but a journalist who has put a
lot of focus in on keeping people real. That's what
she wants to do with every one of her stories,
to show the other side of war, famine, the other
side of darkness. It's amazing when you start looking into
what you have kept away from others. There are tiny
answers in there that shape the personality that you are.
Speaker 2: What have you kept away from the light?
Speaker 1: Does that mean I go out and spill my guts
on everything that I'm doing in life. No, I try
to stay reserved by way of trying to observe what
other people are doing without asking questions. Doesn't that put
me in a state of assumption, thinking that I know
what they're going through. Well, if I listen carefully and
I listen without question, I'm already going to know what
their story is or what they're sharing, because they're going
to talk about it. All you have to do is
step into a conversation as a listener and not a
one upper. And if somebody gets into an area that
you've been keeping away from others, then what you face
is that decision to become more open. And I do
believe in that openness because it creates conversation. We're doing
the same thing over and over again. It's like walking
up Heartbreak Hill here in this forest. One day I
dream of walking up this hill with other writers, thinkers, planners,
creative people to talk about the energy of this forest.
But the only way I'm going to get people here
is I've going to take this kept secret and make
it a reality.
Speaker 2: Heart Break Hill.
Speaker 1: You're going to get your blood reason, your imagination is
going to be on fire. You're going to find yourself
in a place of you know what. I don't want
to talk about the stock market. I don't want to
talk about the full moon tonight. I just want to
talk about everyday life. That's one of the reasons why
I do the interviews that I do on my podcast.
I'm not interviewing anybody, I'm just having a conversation. And
I love it when somebody in the middle of a
conversation will say, are we going to get this interview started?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 1: Redefined interview because I've been asking questions and I've been
questioning answers. We've been in this interview, except I just
happened to call it a conversation. So I want you
to put focus on the word kept. What are you
keeping away from the light and others? Because like I said,
there's so many answers in everything that you've hidden away,
and when you do that, you're a little bit different
today than what you were yesterday.
Speaker 2: But was it positive and is.
Speaker 1: It leaning more? I'm being negative shamed. I read an article.
It was based on procrastination and they say it's not
connected to laziness because laziness says you ain't doing anything,
whereas procrastination you feel guilty that you haven't done anything.
Speaker 2: So there's a big difference.
Speaker 1: So they're trying to connect procrastination basically with depression low anxiety.
Speaker 2: You see what I mean?
Speaker 1: So what are you keeping from the conversations that is
actually making you a procrastinator?
Speaker 2: Just something to think about.
Speaker 1: Ask the questions, question the answer is We just had
a bunch of questions here, just in this conversation alone,
so hopefully that'll ignite you to say, Okay, I'll do it.
I'm Errow and that's vocal D Frank
