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 present place of what is right now now.
Speaker 1: To get there require some practice. Here's how I do it.
Speaker 1: One sheet of paper. Every day, just ten minutes, write
Speaker 1: about whatever is moving through your presence of right now,
Speaker 1: with absolutely no judgment. Stream thinking sharpens your skills as
Speaker 1: a listener, as a communicator, and as an activator. Learning
Speaker 1: how to trust what is right now. This is stream
Speaker 1: thinking today. We're reading from January sixth, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: I walked into a wall with this one. Ooh. I
Speaker 1: did in an attempt to clear my image of being
Speaker 1: ego driven. I openly admitted that my weakness sits within
Speaker 1: the definition of being a perfectionist. We all know what
Speaker 1: a perfectionist is, right, wanting things to play out in
Speaker 1: the utmost professional way. If not, there's always going to
Speaker 1: be a reaction. Okay, here's where we sit down. Now,
Speaker 1: a perfectionist, right what I do? The definition of being
Speaker 1: a perfectionist is wanting things to play out in the
Speaker 1: utmost professional way. If not, there's always going to be
Speaker 1: a reaction. A perfectionist right wrong? Wanting to be perfect
Speaker 1: and or at a higher level of standard. Is the
Speaker 1: ego that relies on a perfectionist to get what it wants.
Speaker 1: My ego isn't as bad as I've seen in others
Speaker 1: because I've learned how to understand it and I've learned
Speaker 1: how to live with it. It is a learning process
Speaker 1: that requires not just awareness but but but but the
Speaker 1: availability of change. Are you a perfectionist or is it
Speaker 1: your ego that's getting in the way. We all think
Speaker 1: that the ego is attached to well, I'm mister conceited,
Speaker 1: I am the greatest you know what was a gene?
Speaker 1: Simmons of Kiss said, you know, if you don't think
Speaker 1: that it is the greatest thing ever invented or played out,
Speaker 1: nobody's going to believe you. And in our own special way,
Speaker 1: we tend to live life that way. If this is
Speaker 1: what I'm going to post on social media, we've got
Speaker 1: to make it look beautiful and perfect. But is that
Speaker 1: the perfectionist or is it your ego? Understanding that your ego,
Speaker 1: You've got to have one, but it can get out
Speaker 1: of control, and when it does, it's very difficult to
Speaker 1: break free of because it becomes a habit. It becomes
Speaker 1: that one thing you go to when you might be
Speaker 1: going through a rough day because of the weather conditions,
Speaker 1: or maybe things financially are not happening. But you don't
Speaker 1: want people to see that side of you, so you think, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm just a perfectionist. I just want this perfect life.
Speaker 1: It's your ego. I'm Eryl, and that's stream thinking.
