Speaker 1: I love asking questions. Well, the reason why is because
the fund begins when you start researching for answers such as,
why are so many people afraid to live right here
in the presence of now? Plus how can we learn
to become better at being in the presence of now?
My name is Errow. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf.
That means I stand on the sidelines and do nothing
but watch, listen, study, then activate. I call it the
daily mess, a chronological walk through an everyday world. Yeah,
it's my morning pages as a receiver of thoughts and ideas.
We as people tend to throw it to the side
because we think we're going to deal with it later on. Well,
when a subject arrives inside of me, I know it's
time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,
but by doing the research, the picture becomes clearer. This
is the daily mess. Why are so many people afraid
to live in the present place of right now? This
truly is connected to enormous psychological reasons, the fear of
the unknown. Somebody see it as a huge negative which
triggers all kinds of anxiety. It instantly throws people into
a past they can't change. But to them, it doesn't matter,
it's something they know. Number two, people stay away from
the present because of a physical attachment to the past,
from memories to regrets, more importantly, expectations. Living in the
past while trying to move forward into the future causes
a huge loss of focus. We are living in a
world that has so many distractions, and it's taking place
in every second that we breathe. The world glorifies the
physical act of busyness and productivity, which makes it very
difficult to experience stillness and self reflection. Another reason why
people elect to stay free of living in the present
is their resistance to reality. It's easier for them to
fantasize with something they already know. But but, but, but
but Running from your emotions will deepen your Hey, coming
up next, So, what's the best way to learn how
to live in the presence of all things right now? Hey,
thanks for coming back to the daily mess. What's the
best way to get over or get through your fear
of being present in all things right now? Mindfulness? Oh,
you've heard a lot about that. Mindfulness, meditation and the
act of truly deep breathing. It sounds and feels so stupid.
But it's not. It really does work, and it invites
peace to your present place of right now. Mindfulness reduces stress, anxiety,
and depression. Also, while dealing with the present, learn how
to reframe your negative thinking. I do something I call
defragging every single day and night, putting my emotions on
a page to see it, not just think about it,
but to physically put my hands on it. And then
I'll ask questions and then question answers. Learning how to
focus on what you cannot control. The goal seems really heavy, right,
but when you begin to see the path, you'll understand
why this is so important. It's time to manage your
responses to uncertainty. Well, what about gratitude? How often do
you invest in saying hey, thanks? As evil as this
world continues to become, there are amazing amounts of brilliant
people that are very close to you and others. Share
with them your compassion, your thank you. Stop taking advantage
of them. If they give you something, give something back.
Be in a moment of light when everything else feels
like it's in the dark. I'm marrow and that's the
daily mess.
