Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction unplugged because we will always say
Speaker 1: yes to creativity totally uncut because we all make mistakes
Speaker 1: so let's turn it into a tool this is arrow
Speaker 1: unplugged stream thinking it's learning how to trust what is
Speaker 1: in your presence of what is right now now to
Speaker 1: get there is going to require some practice this is
Speaker 1: what i do each day one sheet of paper i
Speaker 1: allow myself to have 10 minutes to write about whatever
Speaker 1: is moving through my presence of right now with absolutely
Speaker 1: no judgment Stream Thinking sharpens your skills as a listener,
Speaker 1: as a communicator, and as an activator. Learning how to
Speaker 1: trust what is right now. This is Stream Thinking. Today
Speaker 1: we're reading from January 20th, 2024. I don't know where
Speaker 1: you'll be in life when this page and I meet again.
Speaker 1: Because that was written on January 20th, 2024. And today's
Speaker 1: physical date is July 1st, 2024. Look how many weeks
Speaker 1: and months have gone by and this is the first
Speaker 1: time that I have revisited this page. This page and
Speaker 1: I are meeting again. Is it really supposed to happen
Speaker 1: this way? I talk with book authors all the time
Speaker 1: who have to constantly revisit their work. And maybe that's
Speaker 1: the difference between an author versus a daily writer. Putting
Speaker 1: pen to paper for me doesn't always require a step
Speaker 1: back in time. What's been lived shall stay lived. Maybe
Speaker 1: that's the reason why our memories allow things to just
Speaker 1: drop off. It's already been lived. Locate new places of
Speaker 1: discovery and find a deeper love for life, wanting to live,
Speaker 1: being present with living, and learning new things to stuff
Speaker 1: inside your mind, body, and soul in all things right now.
Speaker 1: Writing about it doesn't mean you have to go back.
Speaker 1: And I think that's one of the main reasons why
Speaker 1: so many people will not take the time to pick
Speaker 1: up a writing instrument and place it on a page.
Speaker 1: Or for that matter, if you have to do it
Speaker 1: in a computer or on your smartphone, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 1: Or if you want to rat-a-tat-tat-tat some words into something
Speaker 1: that's going to record your voice, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 1: The only reason why I've not done that is is
Speaker 1: because the way that I was taught through Julia Cameron's
Speaker 1: The Artist Way is that when you write, you get
Speaker 1: your entire body involved. But to try to show somebody
Speaker 1: the walk and way of what it's like to be
Speaker 1: a daily writer, you don't have to be a journal
Speaker 1: writer to sit there and talk about the worst times
Speaker 1: of your life. That's not what it's about. It's about
Speaker 1: just being open in your presence of right now. And
Speaker 1: if a bunch of junk needs to fall from your trunk,
Speaker 1: let it go. But see, here's the thing. The difference
Speaker 1: between a book author and a daily writer is you
Speaker 1: don't have to go back to it. Well, what about
Speaker 1: those people that may find my journal and there's a
Speaker 1: new movie out there that's about reading somebody else's journal
Speaker 1: and leaving them a message. I get it. I get it.
Speaker 1: Trust me, 99.9% of the stuff that you're putting in
Speaker 1: a journal is is probably already being spoken to somebody
Speaker 1: in your life. You're just putting it there to kind
Speaker 1: of free it from you so that maybe you can
Speaker 1: gain the confidence and the strength to go talk to
Speaker 1: a best friend or even a professional. But learning how
Speaker 1: to create that communication between your mind, body, and soul
Speaker 1: is one of the greatest expressions of inner love that
Speaker 1: you will ever experience. People speak of being in meditation
Speaker 1: or prayer. But what about that other connection? Everything that
Speaker 1: makes up You. It doesn't have to be on display
Speaker 1: in social media. The only reason why I take the
Speaker 1: time to even talk about this stuff is because I
Speaker 1: heard something in my heart one day saying, you're doing
Speaker 1: this because you need it. Do you think there's anybody
Speaker 1: else that would like to learn it? You stop in
Speaker 1: a moment like that and you go, this is a calling.
Speaker 1: This is something well beyond my presence of now that
Speaker 1: is saying, you don't have to tell us about your
Speaker 1: inner struggles or or your greatest victories. All you have
Speaker 1: to do is help somebody pick up a writing instrument
Speaker 1: and let something go. I'm Arrow, and that's Stream Thinking.
