- 0:00Speaker 1: It's all about making a connection. Erro dot net a
- 0:02Speaker 1: r r oe dot net. I am a podcast listener
- 0:07Speaker 1: that just happens to have a podcast. So when I
- 0:09Speaker 1: go searching for things that I want to be entertained by,
- 0:12Speaker 1: I want to have the power of choice. Oh you do.
- 0:15Speaker 1: On ero dot net. There are seventeen podcasts to choose
- 0:18Speaker 1: from a r oe dot net. Enjoy your exploration. This
- 0:24Speaker 1: one's gonna be a little heavy today. I'm telling you it.
- 0:27Speaker 1: It came to me when I least expected it. But
- 0:30Speaker 1: because I'm a daily writer and I trust in the
- 0:33Speaker 1: process of bringing words forward, whatever you feel in your
- 0:36Speaker 1: moment of all things right now, put it on a
- 0:39Speaker 1: page and grow with it. And that's what's happening here.
- 0:42Speaker 1: And I probably will lose you because there are many
- 0:45Speaker 1: times that I've sat here in this research and thought
- 0:47Speaker 1: to myself, way over my head, way over my head.
- 0:51Speaker 1: I'm always asking questions. The fun begins when you start
- 0:54Speaker 1: researching for answers such as how important is it to reflect?
- 1:01Speaker 1: Is it breaking the rules of trying to live in
- 1:03Speaker 1: this thing we call the present? The right now? Plus
- 1:07Speaker 1: is there an art to picking up life's every day
- 1:10Speaker 1: broken pieces? My name is erro. I'm a daily writer,
- 1:14Speaker 1: a silent wolf. I stand on the sidelines and do
- 1:17Speaker 1: nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate. I happen to
- 1:21Speaker 1: call it the daily Mess, a chronological walk through an
- 1:24Speaker 1: everyday world. Yeah, it is my morning writing as a
- 1:28Speaker 1: receiver of thoughts and ideas. We as people tend to
- 1:31Speaker 1: throw things to the side because we think we're gonna
- 1:34Speaker 1: deal with it later on. The hell is what I
- 1:37Speaker 1: thought this morning. This one is not getting away. Once again,
- 1:41Speaker 1: I warn you it's gonna be heavy. When a subject
- 1:46Speaker 1: arrives inside of me, I know it's time to dig in.
- 1:49Speaker 1: It's still keeping that daily journal, but by doing the research,
- 1:53Speaker 1: the picture becomes clearer. This is the daily Mess. How
- 1:58Speaker 1: important is it to reflect? Because I have a seriously
- 2:03Speaker 1: out of control problem when it comes to that subject.
- 2:06Speaker 1: Reflect because I believe it's living in the past. And
- 2:11Speaker 1: is it breaking the rules of living in the past,
- 2:14Speaker 1: you know, being in the now. Mental health experts did
- 2:18Speaker 1: not hide behind a stone to put on display why
- 2:22Speaker 1: reflecting is very important in your life, and no, it
- 2:27Speaker 1: does not break the rules surrounding a life of living
- 2:31Speaker 1: in the present. Here's a very important lesson that I
- 2:34Speaker 1: want you to tuck away inside your heart. There is
- 2:37Speaker 1: a huge difference between being present versus having a presence.
- 2:44Speaker 1: I gotta say that again. There is a huge difference
- 2:48Speaker 1: between being present versus having a presence. A presence is
- 2:54Speaker 1: about where your attention lives, not what time period you
- 2:58Speaker 1: live in or what time period you're thinking about. Presence
- 3:02Speaker 1: versus present. I'm here, you're here. This is your presence
- 3:07Speaker 1: of now. But is it your act of being present? Oh?
- 3:12Speaker 1: Everything has to be twenty twenty six. That's the way
- 3:15Speaker 1: I'm thinking, because I do everything to stay in the present,
- 3:20Speaker 1: and when I came across this, for the love of God,
- 3:22Speaker 1: I was wrong, one hundred percent wrong. I'm the one
- 3:27Speaker 1: that's violating the rules. If I don't want to flash
- 3:30Speaker 1: back to nineteen ninety three, not to live it, but
- 3:33Speaker 1: to reflect on it, I am denying myself access to
- 3:38Speaker 1: the presence of something that could be a learning tool.
- 3:42Speaker 1: A healthy reflection takes place in the present you are
- 3:47Speaker 1: thinking about something, not reliving it. Reflection can easily pull
- 3:52Speaker 1: you out of your presence. It can lead to rumination.
- 3:57Speaker 1: Oh god, it took that long to get to that word. Rumination,
- 4:02Speaker 1: the same loop with no insight. How many people do
- 4:08Speaker 1: you know that live in rumination, including yourself? So you
- 4:13Speaker 1: gotta ask yourself, am I adding an understanding? Or am
- 4:18Speaker 1: I adding more weights to this thing called my present
- 4:22Speaker 1: place of now? This is my presence. Coming up next
- 4:29Speaker 1: the quote that fell from my writing instrument. I never
- 4:34Speaker 1: know what's going to end up on a page when
- 4:37Speaker 1: I begin. Hey, welcome back to the daily mess. This
- 4:41Speaker 1: quote fell from my writing instrument this morning. The name
- 4:44Speaker 1: of that writing instrument Mama White, which is in honor
- 4:47Speaker 1: of my white, beautiful dove that was with me for
- 4:50Speaker 1: nearly twenty years. Mama White. Okay, this is what happened
- 4:54Speaker 1: when I put ink on the nib of this writing instrument.
- 4:56Speaker 1: These are the words. The best way to to pick
- 5:00Speaker 1: up the pieces is to stop grinding the glass back
- 5:05Speaker 1: into sand. The best way to pick up the pieces
- 5:10Speaker 1: is to stop grinding the glass back into sand. I
- 5:14Speaker 1: had to instantly chat gpt this, What does it mean?
- 5:20Speaker 1: How can I apply this? The goal or the ambition
- 5:23Speaker 1: is to stop rehashing or re injuring yourself with the
- 5:28Speaker 1: same pain. Then it gets really deep. You don't gather
- 5:34Speaker 1: what's left by rubbing the damage deeper. Oh God, you
- 5:39Speaker 1: don't gather what's left. By rubbing the damage deeper, you
- 5:44Speaker 1: gather it by stopping the harm. The best way to
- 5:50Speaker 1: pick up the pieces is to stop grinding the glass
- 5:53Speaker 1: back into sand. It takes us right to the present
- 5:58Speaker 1: place of now, and right here is where we're facing
- 6:02Speaker 1: the difference. But yet the similarity of presents and being present.
- 6:08Speaker 1: If stuck in all things literally right now, that is present,
- 6:13Speaker 1: but without reflection, your presence in the story is staying.
- 6:17Speaker 1: Because what is required is for you to stop grinding
- 6:22Speaker 1: the glass into sand. My daily writing is a very
- 6:26Speaker 1: good example of that. If I don't go back one year,
- 6:31Speaker 1: or twenty five years, or all thirty three years of
- 6:34Speaker 1: my daily writing to reflect, then these pages right here
- 6:38Speaker 1: are absolutely worthless. Reflection helps you. Rumination is what harms you,
- 6:46Speaker 1: and that's the barrier that you've got to face. You've
- 6:48Speaker 1: got to be able to look at that chariot and say,
- 6:51Speaker 1: you our rumination. I keep living the same story over
- 6:57Speaker 1: and over and over again. I am not in the present. Well,
- 7:03Speaker 1: if you identify yourself, you are. But if you're not
- 7:05Speaker 1: going to do something about it, then your presence begins
- 7:10Speaker 1: to fade. The best way to pick up the pieces
- 7:12Speaker 1: is to stop grinding the glass back into sand. I'm arrow,
- 7:18Speaker 1: and that's the daily mess.
