1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,320
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.

3
00:00:06,599 --> 00:00:12,119
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged. Oooh, goodness, goodness?

4
00:00:12,599 --> 00:00:16,839
Can I say one more? Goodness? Goodness? Becoming sixty one?

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,640
The daily challenges and dark spots in our hearts, the grudges,

6
00:00:20,679 --> 00:00:23,120
and the moments that you wish we just fade from

7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,440
the page. Here I am at sixty one. You find

8
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,519
yourself redefining portions of your ambition, almost like those professional

9
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,079
singers that can no longer sing in that upper range

10
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:36,439
that once made them so famous. We all move through

11
00:00:36,439 --> 00:00:40,799
methods of change that we expect, respect, dislike, and destroy.

12
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,359
But somewhere along the way, all that was once bright

13
00:00:44,799 --> 00:00:48,520
becomes a smudge or scratched out thought. Before reaching forty,

14
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,840
I remember wanting to hold onto everything. I was trying

15
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,200
to learn as much as I could consume. By fifty,

16
00:00:55,359 --> 00:00:59,039
I started sorting things out. My mind was becoming a hoarder,

17
00:00:59,439 --> 00:01:04,040
doing all I could to mentally save everything. Today's sixty one.

18
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,480
We continue to work our way through this thing called

19
00:01:06,519 --> 00:01:10,439
the Swedish death, cleaning, cleaning out the mind the body,

20
00:01:10,599 --> 00:01:14,159
the soul, and the entire self. Hey, Sarah, this is

21
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,040
the daily Mess, a chronological walk through an everyday world.

22
00:01:17,079 --> 00:01:19,840
I am a daily writer. I see a mile marker

23
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,040
and I think, wow, we can learn something from this.

24
00:01:23,799 --> 00:01:27,319
Let's teach it, let's activate it, Let's grow beyond where

25
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:32,079
we stood yesterday. This is the daily mess we took

26
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,599
in that movie Asteroid City Yesterday, a story about a

27
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,400
writer who falls deeply in love with all of his characters,

28
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,040
and no matter how tough it became, his real mission

29
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,799
was to never stop telling the story. There is a

30
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:50,599
powerful statement in this movie. You can't wake up if

31
00:01:50,599 --> 00:01:55,200
you don't fall asleep. You can't wake up if you

32
00:01:55,359 --> 00:01:59,640
don't fall asleep. Wes Anderson drives that thought deep into

33
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,319
our movie Loving Souls. But is such a thought possible not?

34
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,519
According to research, they claim the mind begins to play

35
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,120
games after being awake for twenty four hours and longer.

36
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,639
The world record, by the way, which will never be

37
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,360
broken because they've dropped this game from the Guinness Book

38
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,800
of World Records. But the world record was once eleven

39
00:02:17,879 --> 00:02:21,479
days and twenty five minutes. I know how I am

40
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,520
if I go eighteen hours without sleep eleven days and

41
00:02:26,599 --> 00:02:31,000
twenty five minutes. I can't imagine where that person's mind went,

42
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,759
because they sure didn't have it when they woke up

43
00:02:34,039 --> 00:02:37,560
the next day, day number twelve. Now, there are some

44
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,439
things that are quickly affected. It includes our reaction time.

45
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,199
Our speech begins to slur after a few hours, we're

46
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,879
filled with anger or irritable. Our vision is out of focus,

47
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,400
and our muscles begin to have trimmers. You've been in

48
00:02:52,439 --> 00:02:55,400
that state where something just goes by in your arm.

49
00:02:55,599 --> 00:02:59,360
It's tired, it wants you to rest. Trusting your sleep

50
00:02:59,439 --> 00:03:03,400
is a cinch to better health. My wife always reminds me, hey,

51
00:03:04,039 --> 00:03:06,479
you're never going to catch up on sleep. Once you've

52
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:12,560
lost it, it's gone forever. I know those days. As

53
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,719
a child, we wanted to stay up, we wanted to

54
00:03:14,719 --> 00:03:18,280
watch those three am movies. As an adults, we barely

55
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:20,000
make it past four to thirty in the afternoon without

56
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,039
taking that quick nap. In fact, new research shows that

57
00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:26,800
taking that mid afternoon nap is actually brilliant for you,

58
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,439
and that businesses should actually adopt that plan. Give you

59
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,360
some time to go take a nap. But you know

60
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,639
how we are. We would take that sleep time and

61
00:03:36,719 --> 00:03:39,840
run off and go do something that would exhaust our system.

62
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,719
Start writing a journal about how you're sleeping, how many

63
00:03:43,759 --> 00:03:46,240
hours you're getting. When you're not getting any sleep, what's

64
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,800
waking you up in the middle of the night. And

65
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,599
the reason why I bring that up is is because

66
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,080
just because you're in bed doesn't mean you're asleep. I

67
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,960
study yoga nidra, and yoga nidra actually is meditation, meditation

68
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,080
that gets inside your mind. It gets inside there and

69
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:06,039
it really brings a form of relaxation. But you're not sleeping.

70
00:04:06,599 --> 00:04:10,199
And although I use nidra as a way to relax

71
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,439
the mind, body, soul and self, it's not sleeping. And

72
00:04:14,479 --> 00:04:16,959
I know on the opposite side of the day things

73
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:20,279
are going to be affected. Keep a written journal about

74
00:04:20,319 --> 00:04:23,639
how you sleep, take it to your doctor, share your journey.

75
00:04:23,959 --> 00:04:25,800
I'm Marrow and that's the daily mess.
