1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,439 Speaker 1: So hey checked it out yet arow dot net. It's 2 00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:06,759 not just a podcast. It is several different podcast platforms 3 00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:10,679 twenty to be exact. One of them is vocal dfrag. 4 00:00:10,759 --> 00:00:13,720 Come on, we're always asking everybody around us, what would 5 00:00:13,759 --> 00:00:16,120 you do? How should I do it? Where should I go? 6 00:00:16,719 --> 00:00:19,440 Why not ask yourself the questions? But how do you 7 00:00:19,519 --> 00:00:23,079 do that? That's what vocal dfrag is all about. Only 8 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:29,120 on ero dot net, Rroe dot net. Enjoy your exploration, Hey, 9 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,879 what's going on? It's that guy that's always asking questions 10 00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:34,920 because the fund begins when you start researching for answers 11 00:00:35,079 --> 00:00:38,880 such as how true is that statement that your mind 12 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:44,159 is always on the move? Huh? Plus what's up with 13 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,399 the easter bunny? Who? What, where? Why? When? And why 14 00:00:47,439 --> 00:00:49,719 did it come into play? My name is Arrow. I'm 15 00:00:49,759 --> 00:00:52,679 a daily writer, a silent wolf. That means I stand 16 00:00:52,679 --> 00:00:55,439 on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study 17 00:00:55,479 --> 00:00:58,399 that activate. I happen to call it the daily Mess 18 00:00:58,479 --> 00:01:01,479 because it's a chronological walk in everyday world. It is 19 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,840 my morning writing as a receiver of thoughts and ideas. 20 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,439 We as people tend to throw things to the side 21 00:01:07,519 --> 00:01:11,079 because we think we're gonna deal with it later on. Well, 22 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,760 when a subject arrives inside of me, it's time out, 23 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,239 got to get it written down. It's time to dig in. 24 00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:20,359 It's still keeping that daily journal. But by doing that research, 25 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:25,359 the picture becomes clearer. This is the daily mess. How 26 00:01:25,359 --> 00:01:29,640 true is that statement? Your mind is always on the move. 27 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,159 There's a lot of truth in this, but mental health 28 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,959 experts believe it needs a little bit of nuance. The 29 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,719 worlds of psychology and neuroscience have locked in on signals 30 00:01:42,719 --> 00:01:46,400 from the brain that clearly shows it's never completely idle. 31 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,959 No matter how much you sleep or rest, you're getting 32 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,280 your brain's actions and reactions. That brain is always locked 33 00:01:54,319 --> 00:01:58,560 in on being activated. I mean with thoughts, memories, planning, 34 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,200 and so much more. Scientists love going in there to 35 00:02:02,319 --> 00:02:06,200 research what's called the default mode. When you're not focused 36 00:02:06,239 --> 00:02:09,639 in on a specific task, your brain keeps the mental 37 00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:12,960 chapters going. Oh, there's a lot of chatter going on. 38 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,560 What keeps it so active? Well, it's your thoughts. They're 39 00:02:16,599 --> 00:02:19,919 constantly drifting to keep you from getting bored. Part of 40 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,919 the action is actually endless amounts of conversations that keep 41 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,960 playing over and over inside your head. Plus every single 42 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,759 one of us have made it so easy to jump 43 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,520 between ideas. If calming down the brain and the heart 44 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,840 is your goal and gain, here's what mental health leaders 45 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:43,479 are saying, do everything you can to step toward meditation. 46 00:02:43,879 --> 00:02:47,000 I know it is a tough walk, but I am 47 00:02:47,039 --> 00:02:50,280 someone who does meditation and I write daily, and it 48 00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:54,360 really seems like a boring way to live life until 49 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:59,400 you learn you're actually breathing. Hey, coming up next, what 50 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,639 is this thing called the easter bunny? Who? What, where? Why? When? 51 00:03:03,759 --> 00:03:08,560 And how did this come into being? Hey, welcome back 52 00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:13,000 to the daily mess. What's up with the easter bunny? Who? What? Where? Why? When? 53 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,439 And how did this thing begin? Well, my heart wants 54 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,479 to say, this monkey has been around for a very 55 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:24,719 very long time. We're talking a gent story here. Yeah, 56 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,199 not so true. It doesn't go back that far. The 57 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,800 easter bunny actually started in Germany in the sixteen hundreds. 58 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,879 There was a big, big thing about the egg laying hair. Yeah, 59 00:03:37,039 --> 00:03:40,280 haar that's what they call him over there, and sometimes 60 00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:44,599 over here it's called an Osterhaus. It was the German 61 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,240 immigrants that actually brought it to the United States in 62 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,560 the seventeen hundreds. Well, why a freakin' rabbit because they 63 00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:58,039 symbolize fertility and new life. Eggs are seen as rebirth. 64 00:03:58,599 --> 00:04:01,520 You're getting it now. This belief was in full motion 65 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,680 long before Christianity. Oh my god. It wasn't until later 66 00:04:06,759 --> 00:04:10,199 that a connection was made to the resurrection. By the 67 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,759 nineteen hundreds, the Easter Bunny had evolved into a springtime 68 00:04:13,879 --> 00:04:17,720 Santa Claus. Even though the Easter Bunny is seen as 69 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,319 upbeat and playful, it really does carry a deeper meaning 70 00:04:22,519 --> 00:04:28,720 or theme. The Easter Bunny represents new beginnings, hope after 71 00:04:28,879 --> 00:04:35,920 months of winter, and life returning again. Hmmm hmmm, not 72 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,680 just the egg carrier huh wow, hope after the months 73 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:45,639 of winter, new beginnings and life returning. It's today's traditions 74 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,319 from an old folklore, the Easter Bundy I maryl and 75 00:04:50,399 --> 00:04:51,399 that's the daily mess.
