- 0:00Speaker 1: I'm constantly being asked about my daily writing discipline. How
- 0:03Speaker 1: do I do it, Why do I do it? And
- 0:05Speaker 1: where does it come from? And what's in the investment
- 0:07Speaker 1: that I've made that keeps me in a brand new
- 0:09Speaker 1: game every day. Well, it's called stream thinking, learning how

- 0:18Speaker 1: One sheet of paper every day, just ten minutes, write
- 0:21Speaker 1: about whatever is moving through your moment of right now,
- 0:24Speaker 1: without any judgment. Stream thinking sharpens your skills as a listener,

- 0:39Speaker 1: twenty four. Call it COVID PTSD. It only intensifies when
- 0:45Speaker 1: you learn people around you are being diagnosed with another
- 0:48Speaker 1: round of the coronavirus. With as much as we do,
- 0:51Speaker 1: my wife and I find ourselves very much aware of
- 0:55Speaker 1: how easy it is to suddenly get hit by the
- 0:57Speaker 1: invisible bug. Does the average person that we meet in
- 1:01Speaker 1: public have allergies? Is it a summer cold? We have
- 1:05Speaker 1: the symptoms of COVID haven't changed. Only the people have.
- 1:08Speaker 1: Research shows the majority of those infected keep working and
- 1:12Speaker 1: do not visit a doctor. COVID PTSD. All of these
- 1:18Speaker 1: body aches, sniffles, but no temperature. No, at least I'm
- 1:22Speaker 1: not thinking about the world going to war. And isn't
- 1:26Speaker 1: that kind of funny how we are reacting in this
- 1:28Speaker 1: modern day, the things that take our minds off from
- 1:32Speaker 1: other things. There used to be a movie called Wag
- 1:34Speaker 1: the Dog where they would try to divert our attention
- 1:37Speaker 1: away from the real news stories. With so much sickness
- 1:40Speaker 1: in the world these days and new names every single day,
- 1:44Speaker 1: our minds aren't placed on where they could be thinking
- 1:47Speaker 1: about Ukraine, the Middle East and what about the way
- 1:51Speaker 1: the nation is now going to be doing tariffs. Our
- 1:54Speaker 1: minds are being shoved in so many different directions that
- 1:57Speaker 1: when it comes to having a real subject to tell
- 2:00Speaker 1: talk about with a family member, a friend, or somebody knew,
- 2:03Speaker 1: it's like, hey, can we keep this on the light end,
- 2:07Speaker 1: because I'm tired of talking about everything that is just
- 2:10Speaker 1: so heavy. To continue growing forward, We've got a lot
- 2:16Speaker 1: not only in our minds, but our heart is now overflowing.
- 2:22Speaker 1: Where are you and how are you dealing with? Every
- 2:26Speaker 1: single thing that's being thrown at you. I wish my
- 2:31Speaker 1: mother was here because I would love to have that
- 2:33Speaker 1: conversation with her. How did you deal with what you
- 2:37Speaker 1: did with World War Two, the Korean War, the Vietnam War.
- 2:42Speaker 1: I was just this tall. I'm not expected to remember
- 2:45Speaker 1: those days. But how did you deal, especially with the
- 2:52Speaker 1: assassination of not only John F. Kennedy, but Robert Kennedy,
- 2:56Speaker 1: Martin Luther King? How did you deal, maybe with your
- 3:02Speaker 1: blessed life with your parents and grandparents still around. You
- 3:06Speaker 1: should be asking those questions because you're wearing those shoes.
- 3:12Speaker 1: I'm Marrow, and that's stream thinking.
