Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.
Do you ever just sit back and watch people, watch
their body language, listen to how they are bringing their
sentences together. Is it a run on sentence? Is it
something that Twitter has created inside their heart where it's
just barely there and you're going a I didn't catch what
you said. Can you make your thought a little bit
longer so I can jump into the same swimming pool
that you're in. But I mean the way that people
are walking around, we're getting number is what we're doing.
And the question is how can we re energize the
purpose and plan of why we need to pay attention
to the process and progress of a planet that's going
through tremendous amounts of changes. And we can't sit by
and say I'm gonna let somebody else handle this, because
that's what's going on. Those other people that are handling
it are doing it wrong, which is causing some friction
in every corner of the world. This is not a complaint.
This is called awareness. Learning to understand what is in
your surroundings, and how can you activate your own voice
to help bring peace of mind to the path, not
just yours, but everything that's connected to it. Hence arrow.
This is the daily Mess, a chronological walk through an
everyday world. I am a daily writer, the silent wolf.
That means I sit on the side and I listen.
I participate in ways that do not cause friction. But
what I want to do is I want to create conversation.
I want to be able to go in and study.
I want to learn about what we are doing right
and wrong, how we're missing, how we're gaining, how we're
finding victory, and how we're failing. This is the daily mess.
The challenge is that feel more like a defeat and
or attack, Yet once you're through them, it turns out
to be a scratch more than just a cut. Have
we given ourselves permission to make things bigger than what
they really are? I mean, my goal is to always
be aware, but to not make a determination until I
have a larger part of the moment experienced. My wife
and I always remind ourselves to stop writing the story
before it happens. Anxiety is more than an energy thief.
It robs the body of its structure, breaking things down
in ways that are very much invisible. And yet we
know there is something wrong. How can you pinpoint it?
I don't know. I just don't feel right. Okay, let's
break it down. Let's find out what your trigger is.
Let's get in there and see what has caused this
miniature storm inside your giant head. I'm learning how to
create play zones throughout the day. A play zone is
breaking free of my personal expectations as a podcaster, as
a writer, as a performer. I've got to have a
play zone in the way of releasing the stress. Play
zones can be a couple of quick VR games, you
know those goggles. I go bowling, I do pickleball. I
do all these different things. But I don't play a
violent game. I play something that is kind of sporting, challenging.
It makes you think. I also go on transition walk
so I can be in this forest to take in
mother nature at her absolute best and worst. I mean,
Jazzy and I are on that path. Even if it's raining,
do what what are we gonna do? Melt? It hasn't
happened yet, but it's a playdate. It's a play zone.
It's a place where you can go and you can
create new hobbies. Not things you can get done in
fifteen minutes, but something that you know is going to
require a lot of time. A play zone. We did
it as kids. We had a great time, and then
suddenly someone said, you're an adult. Act your age. Who
I am I'm going to create a play zone? I'm Arrow?
And that's the daily mess.
