00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Living a life of understanding that creativity is an addiction

2
00:00:04,719 --> 00:00:07,719
unplugged because we will always say yes to creativity, totally

3
00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:10,080
uncut because we all make mistakes, so turn it into

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,039
a tool. This is arrow unplugged. Because I have been

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,919
a daily writer for twenty nine years, I don't know

6
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,600
what it's like to be in your shoes. I mean,

7
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,519
what must it be like to wake up on a

8
00:00:20,559 --> 00:00:23,440
new morning and not have to jump into an uncharged

9
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,320
moment of creative writing. No matter what mood I'm in,

10
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,480
I still have to write because nothing happens in my

11
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,159
day until there's been a moment of writing. Mentally, it

12
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,960
clears up my thinking patterns while putting the heart in

13
00:00:38,039 --> 00:00:42,320
a place of rebirth. Sadly, each and every one of us, you, me,

14
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,960
your neighbors, your parents were all creatures of habit, which

15
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,520
means many of our moods and moves are a repeat

16
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,399
of actions and reactions, Which is why writing is so

17
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,719
important to me to help clear the mind's path so

18
00:00:56,759 --> 00:00:58,960
there can be a seed planted in a new season.

19
00:00:59,759 --> 00:01:02,759
It's when the body aches that we find reason to

20
00:01:02,799 --> 00:01:06,439
step back to go to where we know, which I

21
00:01:06,439 --> 00:01:10,480
believe becomes the excuse to never reach through what's keeping

22
00:01:10,599 --> 00:01:15,359
us back? Yet we'll complain about it to say nothing

23
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,680
ever changes. It has roots in our daily habits. Prying

24
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:25,000
those roots loose is another great reason to write kiss.

25
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,760
It's a chore, it's a challenge, but it's also a

26
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,040
walk and way of life that gives you the opportunity

27
00:01:33,359 --> 00:01:36,719
to make a choice. Hey, Cheryl, this is the Daily Mess,

28
00:01:36,719 --> 00:01:39,239
a chronological walk through in everyday world. I am that

29
00:01:39,359 --> 00:01:42,000
daily writer. No, I'm not always in the mood to

30
00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:45,159
put pen to paper. You got to be open and honest,

31
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,040
and you got to be transparent with all other writers

32
00:01:48,599 --> 00:01:53,200
and explain that it doesn't just happen. It's in agreement

33
00:01:53,359 --> 00:01:56,480
with the inner core with the outside shell. It happens

34
00:01:56,799 --> 00:01:59,920
because you work together in harmony. I call it my jack.

35
00:02:00,879 --> 00:02:04,760
This is the Daily Mess. I came across a quote

36
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,360
this morning on television. When did having an open mind

37
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,800
lead to anything good? Jim Belushi said it on his

38
00:02:11,879 --> 00:02:15,960
TV show. It's such an open ended thought, especially when

39
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,560
having a closed mind keeps a person away from newer

40
00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:23,000
adventures of personal growth. Of course, I had to do

41
00:02:23,039 --> 00:02:26,319
some research here, and it shows that open mindedness is

42
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,000
a positive character quality that enables us to think critically

43
00:02:30,199 --> 00:02:34,599
and rationally. We are less swayed by singular events, more

44
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:40,039
resistant to suggestions and manipulations. Getting yourself on such a

45
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:44,680
path requires awareness. We're all set in our own ways

46
00:02:44,759 --> 00:02:48,439
and protect those ways so that we don't have to change.

47
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,560
I have a good friend who's walked away from her very,

48
00:02:51,719 --> 00:02:56,280
very successful career because the decision makers changed the times

49
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,840
that they expected her to work for one year she

50
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:03,120
kept an open mind. It's left her in a place

51
00:03:03,199 --> 00:03:09,680
of mental disconnection. Therefore, she's reimagining her life, accepting less

52
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:16,360
for better hours and fewer business expectations. When did having

53
00:03:16,439 --> 00:03:21,879
an open mind lead to anything good? Each day that

54
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,000
I step into I want to have an open mind

55
00:03:24,039 --> 00:03:27,360
and a cleared heart, but I also find myself in

56
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:32,039
places of reliving what I've already done, the same habits,

57
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,560
the same ideas. But maybe with a little twist here

58
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:38,080
and there, you could go through my defrag journal and

59
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,680
you're going to see a pattern of the way that

60
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,919
I think. But I utilize the strength of that pattern

61
00:03:44,039 --> 00:03:45,360
so that I can go in there and say, look,

62
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,759
you keep doing the same thing. Let's change this up.

63
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,080
Let's go this direction, Let's go that direction. I use

64
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,240
excuses to shape my day, just like we're doing this

65
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,319
Swedish death cleaning. There was an eighty four percent chance

66
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,400
of rain in the forecast yesterday. We were supposed to

67
00:04:00,479 --> 00:04:03,560
do the Swedish death cleaning, taking things to the city dump.

68
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:06,919
But because that weather forecast said there's an eighty four

69
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,439
percent chance of rain, the stuff that we would have

70
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:11,560
put in the back of the Ford F one fifty,

71
00:04:11,639 --> 00:04:13,759
it would have been drenched. It would have been difficult

72
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,800
to put into the dump. You know what happened. It

73
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,680
didn't rain. It was a beautiful ninety degree day. So

74
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:26,519
today I feel that that angst, that that disappointment in

75
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,839
the reasons why I allowed an excuse to get in

76
00:04:29,959 --> 00:04:33,040
my way. I should have known by eleven am yesterday

77
00:04:33,519 --> 00:04:36,399
it wasn't going to rain. It doesn't take too long

78
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,000
to take the trash that you've created in life and

79
00:04:39,079 --> 00:04:40,920
put it in the back of an F one fifty

80
00:04:41,439 --> 00:04:44,439
and take it to the city dump. When did having

81
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,800
an open mind lead to anything good? I've had broadcast

82
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,040
companies that have come after me. They want me to

83
00:04:51,079 --> 00:04:53,759
be a part of their creative teams to help them

84
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,040
go and be lifted through this Internet driven world. I

85
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,319
get to the meetings and I don't don't have an

86
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:05,639
open mind. I'm completely closed in because I'm set in

87
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,480
my way. Why why are we this way? How can

88
00:05:10,519 --> 00:05:14,279
we challenge ourselves to be in that place of open mindedness,

89
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,839
a positive character quality that enables us to think critically

90
00:05:17,879 --> 00:05:21,240
and rationally. We are less swayed by singular events, more

91
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:27,720
resistant to suggestion and manipulation open mindedness. Are you challenged

92
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,480
by it? Or are you so set in your ways

93
00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:33,040
that it's like I think with an open mind, I

94
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,680
just don't react with an open mind. I'm marrow and

95
00:05:36,759 --> 00:05:37,759
that's the daily mess
