00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say

2
00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:06.960
<v Speaker 1>yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.

3
00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:09.759
<v Speaker 1>So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow

4
00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:13.720
<v Speaker 1>unplugged stream thinking. It's learning how to trust what is

5
00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:16.879
<v Speaker 1>in your present place of what is right now now.

6
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:18.960
<v Speaker 1>To get there require some practice. Here's how I do it.

7
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:22.359
<v Speaker 1>One sheet of paper. Every day, just ten minutes, write

8
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:25.359
<v Speaker 1>about whatever is moving through your presence of right now,

9
00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:30.559
<v Speaker 1>with absolutely no judgment. Stream thinking sharpens your skills as

10
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:34.600
<v Speaker 1>a listener, as a communicator, and as an activator. Learning

11
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:38.520
<v Speaker 1>how to trust what is right now. This is stream

12
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:42.159
<v Speaker 1>thinking today. We're reading from January sixth, twenty twenty four.

13
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:45.439
<v Speaker 1>I walked into a wall with this one. Ooh. I

14
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:49.000
<v Speaker 1>did in an attempt to clear my image of being

15
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:53.479
<v Speaker 1>ego driven. I openly admitted that my weakness sits within

16
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:56.119
<v Speaker 1>the definition of being a perfectionist. We all know what

17
00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>a perfectionist is, right, wanting things to play out in

18
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:03.640
<v Speaker 1>the utmost professional way. If not, there's always going to

19
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:06.840
<v Speaker 1>be a reaction. Okay, here's where we sit down. Now,

20
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:10.200
<v Speaker 1>a perfectionist, right what I do? The definition of being

21
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.760
<v Speaker 1>a perfectionist is wanting things to play out in the

22
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:15.439
<v Speaker 1>utmost professional way. If not, there's always going to be

23
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:20.359
<v Speaker 1>a reaction. A perfectionist right wrong? Wanting to be perfect

24
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:24.120
<v Speaker 1>and or at a higher level of standard. Is the

25
00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:28.359
<v Speaker 1>ego that relies on a perfectionist to get what it wants.

26
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:31.239
<v Speaker 1>My ego isn't as bad as I've seen in others

27
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>because I've learned how to understand it and I've learned

28
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:37.799
<v Speaker 1>how to live with it. It is a learning process

29
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:42.719
<v Speaker 1>that requires not just awareness but but but but the

30
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:49.640
<v Speaker 1>availability of change. Are you a perfectionist or is it

31
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:53.280
<v Speaker 1>your ego that's getting in the way. We all think

32
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:55.680
<v Speaker 1>that the ego is attached to well, I'm mister conceited,

33
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:57.959
<v Speaker 1>I am the greatest you know what was a gene?

34
00:01:57.959 --> 00:01:59.879
<v Speaker 1>Simmons of Kiss said, you know, if you don't think

35
00:01:59.879 --> 00:02:03.079
<v Speaker 1>that it is the greatest thing ever invented or played out,

36
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:06.840
<v Speaker 1>nobody's going to believe you. And in our own special way,

37
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:09.360
<v Speaker 1>we tend to live life that way. If this is

38
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:11.560
<v Speaker 1>what I'm going to post on social media, we've got

39
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:14.599
<v Speaker 1>to make it look beautiful and perfect. But is that

40
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:20.479
<v Speaker 1>the perfectionist or is it your ego? Understanding that your ego,

41
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:22.919
<v Speaker 1>You've got to have one, but it can get out

42
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:26.080
<v Speaker 1>of control, and when it does, it's very difficult to

43
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:29.639
<v Speaker 1>break free of because it becomes a habit. It becomes

44
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:32.240
<v Speaker 1>that one thing you go to when you might be

45
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:34.719
<v Speaker 1>going through a rough day because of the weather conditions,

46
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:37.800
<v Speaker 1>or maybe things financially are not happening. But you don't

47
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.159
<v Speaker 1>want people to see that side of you, so you think, oh,

48
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:44.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm just a perfectionist. I just want this perfect life.

49
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:47.319
<v Speaker 1>It's your ego. I'm Eryl, and that's stream thinking.
