Episode #335: You Were Born Creative - So What Happened? · Tea Time w/Amie & Bev

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Hey everybody, welcome to Tea Time with Amy and Bev.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: What's up, girl?
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: All kinds of fun stuff, right? Like always. We started
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: to chit-chat a little bit because you had seen some
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: pictures of one of my grandkids' birthday and we started
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: to chit-chat about that. I recognize, and it's like if
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: anybody sits back and watches the children, they'll recognize they're
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: pretty smart. They have an idea where they want to go.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: He's three years old. So a kid was trying to
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: take something. And normally a lot of little kids can take,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: you know, bigger kids, little biggers, can take stuff from
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: the littles like that. And they might throw a temper tantrum.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: They might do whatever. But he's like, no. And he
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: wasn't letting go. He's like, I'm not letting go of this.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: You let go. So it's just interesting just to watch
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: how they already know he loves hot rods. I mean,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: like real large vehicles, you know, the old vehicles, the
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: hot rods. And so it kind of runs in the
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: family's blood over there with all of them though. But
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: it's interesting to see how they just kind of, I'd
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: say it runs in their blood because I'm not a
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: person that really believes in a lot of the hereditary stuff.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I think we take on a lot of, this is
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: a whole nother story for the love of God. Man,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: I can go in a million different directions. I know.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Reel it in, get focused. Anyways, I'm watching him because
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: he's like, whoever he can get to go take him
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: over to watch, look at these cars to get inside
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: of these vehicles. And to be, just be around them
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: and keeps opening the gas. He's like checking out everything,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: the gas caps that are the lids to the gas cap.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: But he's like watching all, he's like watching all this
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: stuff and I'm watching him that he likes being around
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the adults. So the adults will go over and go
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: do something. And then he wants to go hang out
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: with the adults. So it's, it's interesting when you watch kids,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: cause they're really not kids. I mean, they're in a
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: kid body because they just got here on this planet,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: but they're not. They've got so much knowledge and information
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: with inside of them. And then I'm watching my other
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: grandson because I had him over on Friday and we're
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: sitting in playing and stuff. And some of the things, rules,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: we give kids rules. Don't take apart your toys. Don't
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: do this. No, they need to be able to take
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: these toys apart. He likes to take his vehicles, his
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: matchbox cars or his bigger vehicles, And take off the
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: tires and the rims and switch them around to other vehicles.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Take off, take the vehicle apart, maybe remove the bed
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: off of a truck. Like he's always doing this stuff
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: because they're seeing things. They're visually seeing things, how they
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: want to create. And when we stop them from doing
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: those things, because don't take your partner toy. You just
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: got that. It's brand new. Let's follow these rules that
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: have been set in place by somebody. And we've all
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: followed them. But it's like, no, allow them to, just
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: like for ourselves, allow them to express themselves. Allow them
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: to take those things apart and look at things a
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: little bit differently. Explore. Be creative. And it's the same
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: thing for us. When I sit and watch all that,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: he's giving me permission to start taking shit apart. Who
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: freaking cares? If I can't get it back together again, oh, well.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Or I'll get it back together again from a different perspective.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I'll take it all, dismantle the whole thing and then
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: bring it all back together. But it's going to be different.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: It's going to look different. Maybe that's a new vehicle
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: that comes out that's on the road now. That's our creativity.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: And it's like I bring all this around to stop
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: putting rules on your creativity. Like stop putting rules on
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: yourself and restricting yourself from being yourself. Just be. Asking yourself,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: what do I want? This is something I've been asking
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: myself a lot lately because I have been one of
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: those empathic people that it was my survival to always
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: know what engage everything around me. And it's like when
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: you do that, you don't know what you want. You
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: get a taste of things that you maybe don't want
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: from other people, but you don't know exactly what you want.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: So that's what I'm doing. I'm asking myself these questions
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: because these are big questions for myself.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I am listening to a podcast influencer. His name is
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Myron Golden. And I might've mentioned this before in our videos. Um, he,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: his niche is teaching through the Bible scriptures on business
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: and wealth. And one of the things he pointed out now,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I'll just preface with wasn't raised religious. I've never read
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the Bible. I've attempted to read the Old Testament, grossed
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: me out, and I stopped reading it. And I know
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: passages from here and there, from listening to different things
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: and people. So anyway, I just want to make that clear.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I'm not somebody who's going to recite scriptures to anybody.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: But what he was talking about is in the beginning
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: that God stated that he created... which tells us he
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: is creative. He, she, whatever you want to call it,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: is creative. And if we are that which we are
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: creative from, we are creative. And his whole point was,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: if we are not being creative, we get stagnant. And
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: when we get stagnant, then that's kind of where we
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: lose our purpose and we get depressed and And we
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: feel lost because we're not being creative. We're not creating. And,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: and that could look at it, you know, that could
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: look like so many different things. People create through painting,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: people create through working on automobiles, people create through numbers,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: people create through pottery. Like there's, there's a multitude of
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: ways to be creative. Mine is, I'm creative. My creative
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: art is creating classes and teaching. That's my creativity. I
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: like doing that. I could do that all day long
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: for days. And some people would look at it as
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Amy's always working on her business. Well, no, not if
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I enjoy doing it. That is part of my creativity.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Then I'm enjoying what I'm doing and knowing that what
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I am creating is going to be beneficial for others.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: It's no different than a piece of art. Somebody creates
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: a piece of art, a painting, a piece of pottery.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: They're making it to sell so somebody can enjoy it
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: and enjoy it for eternity or for however long they're
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: on the planet or until they get rid of it.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: So it's the same with what I do. And so, yeah,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: it is important that we're creative in some way. Some
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: people journal. Their creativity is journaling, which is journaling their life.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: journaling to get clarity on themselves and what they're moving through, experiencing,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: that's creativity. And then sometimes that journaling might turn into
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: a book. So tapping into what is it that you'd
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: like to do that is creative. And you got to
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: figure that out. Nobody can tell you what that is.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: And you go explore. There's so many You know, take classes.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's cooking. Take cooking classes, you know, and learn
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: something new or go buy a recipe book and try
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: all the recipes. So you got to start is what
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I'm getting at. You have to start in finding out
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: what it is you like. And there are going to
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: be things along the way. If you don't know what
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: you don't like, you're not going to know that until
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: you actually try it. Like I know I'm not a bicyclist.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: That is not a thing I want to do. It's
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: not comfortable to me to ride a bicycle. I just,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I don't enjoy it. I'm not a runner. I know
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: that about myself. Girl, if I'm running, you just don't
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: ask questions. You start running too because there's something happening
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: because I'm not the runner. But people enjoy that and
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: that's where they're tapping into their higher self and just
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: being in their meditation as they're running. Same with hobbies.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Hobbies create that meditative... act because you're so focused on
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: what you're doing that it's actually a meditative moment for you.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: But how are you going to know what that is
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: until you actually go explore your options and figure it out?
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: It's true. You brought up meditation. So that reminds me
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: of another thing that I experienced with my oldest grandson
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: on Friday. We're in the room and we're playing with cars.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: One of the things that I did, because I have pictures,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: we've talked about that recently, of myself as this younger person.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: And I'm playing with them, but I'm not playing with
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: them like I could be. And I looked up at
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: my picture. I was probably like seven or eight in
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: the picture, not too far off from where he's at.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: And I asked myself, how would I play? Like, how
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: would that version of me play? And I started getting
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: all kinds of creative while I was playing the game. Like, okay,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: over here is where my ranch is. Over here is
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: where the farm is. This is where you get your
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: vehicles worked on. This is the rock quarry over here.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: I had it all set up. Because he gives me
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: all these cars to play with, so I play with them.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: And during that time, he just all of a sudden
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: makes a comment. Because we're getting our stuff set up.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: And he says, it's so quiet. And I said, that's
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: how it is out here. It really is quiet. And
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: he says, yeah. He says, what I notice is when
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: it gets quiet, I'll start hearing sounds that I didn't
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: hear were in the room before. And then he says,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: I kind of go into, I kind of zone out.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: But his description of zoning out was getting into the
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: meditative space. It's moving meditation. It's exactly what you're describing.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: It's this is something that's his passion. We're having a
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: good time right now. And it's peaceful. I've said numerous
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: times when I pick up the kids, I let them
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: drive out because we're on the dirt. So all of
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: them sit on my lap and I let them drive.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Even when they're sitting in the vehicle, even like if
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: they're in my energy in my lap, they're like, Gosh,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I grandma, I kind of really feel kind of tired
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden. And we talk about it. It's like,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: because it's, I'm a calmer energy because I've had the
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: opportunity to be out of the city limits and to
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: be in this calmer energy. Cause I, and I can
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: recognize a difference when I go back into town. It's
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: from my perspective where I've been at now, cause I've
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: been able to calm down. My, my zero point is
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: a different zero point now where it's peaceful and quiet.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: When I go into town, It's chaotic. If I go
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: into certain stores, it's too much for me. I can
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: be in there for a small amount of time, get
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: in and get my stuff. And that's on me because
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: I can change that by actually recognizing myself, making sure
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: I'm putting up my shields. I'm going to call them
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: shields for my protection or because I might feel like
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: I'm too tempted maybe to go into everybody else's energy
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: to kind of gauge the situation or the environment. And
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: it's not necessary. If I know that I'm always safe,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: I don't have to gauge myself. I don't have to
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: drop my energy. And not that it's a drop, but
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: I don't have to transition my energy from the space
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: that I'm feeling good to any other energy. I don't
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: have to, but I've done it my whole freaking life.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: And so it's recognizing that these are all just opportunities
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: when you step into them, stepping in with the family
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: for the birthday. I recognize how I feel so not
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: in resonance with everything. If there's a conversation that's happening,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: I'm noticing these aren't my conversations. This energy is not
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: my energy to be in. And I'm not, before I
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: would have been like, hey, listen, I might've tried to
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: shift their gears and give them a different perspective, but
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: I don't try, unless someone asks me a question about it,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: I don't try to give them a different perspective. I
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: don't try to inform them, hey, you guys are being
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: really negative right now. You could feel better because it's
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: not my thing. I had to grow through that. And
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: it's up to them to be able to have that
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: opportunity to grow through things without expectations. I love them all,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: but I also notice where there's not a resonance.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when you mentioned that quietness, so in the past,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: because I was so busy in my head, my internal
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: was so busy, I needed my external to be busy.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: So you need the noise going all the time. for
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: distraction even though you're trying to focus on something like
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: you know doing payroll or something you know or creating
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: contracts or um and now I really enjoy the quiet
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I can't even have music like any uh music with
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: words I can't listen to it while I'm working because
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: I want to listen to that and beep bop and
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: sing along I can't focus on my work um Now
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I can have like, you know, like just instrumental music going.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I can do that. That's all good. But I just
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: really enjoy it being quiet while I'm working, even in
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the office at my day job. And I have an
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: office space, but right outside of my office space is
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: a couple people that sit at desks. And one has
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: to have music going and the other one has to
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: talk out loud. And every once in a while when
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: there's not a lot of activity going on, we call
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: it our down days where we actually might, you know,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: get caught up on stuff. And it would just be
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: so quiet. All of us are just working away. And
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: sure enough, one of them will say, oh, my God,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: it's so quiet in here. Of course, in my head,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I'm like thinking, well, shut the fuck up because I
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: was kind of enjoying that quietness. Or it's too quiet, right?
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: It's too quiet. And I'm zoned in. I'm in my work.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I'm getting things done. I'm focused. I'm just letting things flow.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: And then somebody will say something or a customer comes
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: in or whatever it is and just breaks that. Interrupts.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Not breaks it, but interrupts it. But anyway, yeah, it's
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: just funny you mention that because that happens in our
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: office every once in a while. But it is they
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: they need they. There's three, actually four of them around me,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: but three of them don't like it to be quiet.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: They've even said like even the entire building, there'll be
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: days it is super quiet, not much activity. And it's
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: been a while, but but it had been mentioned that
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: we needed music streaming through the building. And that's what
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I was like, I disagree, but whatever. It's going to
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: be what it's going to be. I don't have any
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: control over that, but that was, my thought was no,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. Cause then, you know, you have,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: now you have the music playing and if people walk
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: in and now there's talking and music and just so
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: much happening that it's like, no, thank you.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: That's like the distractive party atmosphere is what it reminds
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: me of. And I'm not, I don't mind listening to
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: music if I'm cleaning the house. Sometimes I do, sometimes
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: I don't. But I find myself, I'll listen to podcasts
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: a lot more frequently than I do anything, but I'll,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: I'll get kind of these crazy days that I call
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: them crazy. Cause I don't listen to music all the time,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: but then I feel drawn to listen to music and
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: I just listened to my intuition. But most of the places,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: if I go in the town and any, any of
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: the stores are playing music, I'm probably not going to
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: be in there very long because most of the tones,
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: it's just, it's a grading on me. It's not, it doesn't,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: the frequencies aren't right. And I don't know if it's
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: like an age thing, but wanting to be in the
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: quiet space. Cause I don't, I didn't have the opportunity
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: to live out where, where I do now when I
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: was a lot younger, but I just appreciate it so much.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine being any other way. And it gives you,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Then you can stop. And that's probably what was the
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: reason why, because you can actually stop and you can
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: actually feel your emotions. You can actually hear what your
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: thoughts are. You can hear how you're creating and all
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: that other stuff is distraction because maybe at the time
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: you don't have, maybe at the time I didn't have
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: the tools. I can tell you, I did not have
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: the tools to process or handle the emotions or things
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: that were going on in my head. So I was basically,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: I was the passenger in the vehicle for a very
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: long time. And now I'm taking the wheels. Like I'm
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: taking the wheel. These are the things that I want
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: to do. Even with my grandkids, I'm allowing them to
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: choose how we're going to play, but I'm choosing how
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: I'm going to show up. And so it's different. And
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: I'm choosing how I'm going to show up in these circumstances.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Like what is my behavior going to be? How am
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: I going to be more of my normal self instead
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: of the self that was told you had to sit
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: and be quiet, you're to be seen and not heard.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: You're like all these other things that are said, and
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: unless you're being productive, you're really useless get out of
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: the way you know go clean the yard go whatever
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: but it's it's recognizing that we have these opportunities for
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: a quiet down to get to know ourselves and and
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: it's easier i mean if you're just coming into into
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: a relationship you're going on a date and you really
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: like this person this person really likes you you guys
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: are going to sit and like to try to absorb
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: everything of each other and it's the same way for
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: ourselves It's to be so curious about ourselves and to
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: be so intimate with ourselves to be able to explore
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: these and find the things that we like and the
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: things that we don't like, or they don't really kind of,
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: they're not as guiding for us as something else. I mean,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: they are guides. It does guide us, but it's not,
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: it's not in a passionate way. And we want to
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: follow those passions. And, and I kept hearing that forever.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: You got to follow your passion, but I didn't have
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: any way to compare. I didn't know what did that
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: look like? Cause I was, I've been so used to doing,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: what I thought I was supposed to do. And so
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: it's learning, it's stepping on the other side of that
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: and recognizing I don't have to do anything. Worst case scenario,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: is it a worst case scenario? I'll go find me
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: a nice box and I'll find me a nice tree
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: and that's where I'll stay for a while. And I'll
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: grow from that space. But I enjoy the peace and quiet.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: I enjoy getting to know myself. I enjoy getting to
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: have an understanding about myself so that old patterns aren't
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: what's leading me around anymore. Instead, I'm being led by,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: I'm quiet enough to hear the information that's flowing into me.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Very good. And it's and I'm going to bring this
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: back around to it's in those quiet moments it's in
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: those meditative type states where our creativity can blossom because
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: we're allowing the flow of the information to come to
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: us to make it come have it come into fruition
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: so when somebody is when somebody is painting and they're
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: in their zone, that's when the, the, the picture comes
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: alive or somebody is doing pottery. That's when the, the
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: base or the cup or the plate forms, whatever it
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: is they desire. And so, um, you know, we just,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: we don't know what to do with the quiet when
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: we've been living in so much, uh, busyness and turmoil
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: and distractions and noise that when things do quiet down,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: we don't know what to do with that. We don't
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: know how to use that quiet space. We don't know
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: how to utilize it in a beneficial way. Instead, because
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: of the way we have programmed our mind to be
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: is we always have to be thinking about something. And
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: I used to be that way. My waking moments, if
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: I wasn't doing something that was distracting me, then I
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: was busy in my head thinking about all the things
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: that were wrong. And it was yesterday. I think it
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: was yesterday. I was doing something. And I realized I
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: was just doing it and I wasn't thinking about anything.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: And I do that so much more often now than
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: ever before. It's just be in the moment, doing whatever
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: it is I'm doing and not thinking about anything. Not
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: what's next, what did I do yesterday, what needs to
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: get done, where's my to-do list, what if this happens,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: what if that happens, like none of that. I'm just
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: in the moment, just being with whatever it is I
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: was doing. And that is so freeing. to realize that
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: you've actually attained. Do I do it all the time? No,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: I don't do it all the time, but I definitely
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: do it more frequently than I used to, which matters, right?
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Cause I can only compare myself to how I used
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: to be. And it's just, it's just so freeing and relaxing,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: calming to know that I can be in that space
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: and be okay. I'm safe. I'm okay.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Kind of like our purpose in so many ways in
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: such a small way. But those are the, that's the passion.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Like that to me is like, there is passion in
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: those moments because it's like, there's nothing else. It's so neutral.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: It's so with grace and ease. It's so just flowy,
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: not restricted, not limited. It's just open and flowing. No
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: have to, it's get to.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: And the restriction is the restrictions you're putting on yourself
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: within your own head.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: 100%.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: The way you're perceiving you, your life, your past, all
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: the things. And so, yeah, lift those restrictions. Be unlimited.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Have unlimited possibilities. What if things are more amazing than
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: you ever dreamed of or expected?
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: So....
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Tap into your creativity or at least start playing with
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: it to see what it is. And have fun with it.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Unleash the restrictions of not being playful. Because so many
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: of us had those restrictions. I had to be the
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: adult as a child and how fair is that to me?
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: My story is is my story. And I know there
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: are other stories that are, they're way more traumatizing than mine.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: But the point is as children, we were, we were,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: so to speak, robbed of our childhood. We didn't get
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: to be those children. We didn't get to be playful
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: all the time. And so now as an adult, guess what?
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: You can do something different. You can, you don't have
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: to have those restrictions on yourself. So play with it,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: discover you. Be interested in you. Figure out what you enjoy.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: And do more of it. It's okay. It's okay. It's
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: like the other day, we were talking about, my husband
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: and I were talking about what we're going to have
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: for dinner or whatever. And I just piped up and
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: I'm like, let's just have ice cream for dinner. Or
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: have ice cream first and then have dinner, you know?
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: And so.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Just being playful. And he laughed and I laughed. Of course,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: we didn't. We had dinner and then didn't have room
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: for dessert, but that was okay. But just the playfulness
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: or the idea of it was fun.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: We've eaten ice cream for dinner.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, do it, right?
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Have the cake. One of the other things I would say,
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: because you're saying play, it's go to the store and
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: get yourself some Play-Doh. It is the most inexpensive thing
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: you can get and go home. If you don't know
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: what to do with it, how do you know until
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: you start playing with it? You can roll it in
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: the ball over and over and over and over again,
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: squish it. Your mind, when you're doing that stuff, because
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: you're in the moment, you're right now, and then now
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: you're able to receive information. You're able to be playful.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: It's making things light. We want to have things light.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: You don't want to have things all heavy. It's not necessary.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: We've learned that we need to be serious and have
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: things heavy, and we've got to work and put our
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: notes to the grindstone.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: That's not.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: that's not going to get you where you want to
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: get to.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: And I also heard too, and I know it's to
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: be true for myself because I realized I do it.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: It's not, it's not the outcome of the creativity. It's
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: the journey along the way. It's a process of being creative.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: It's not the result. And I've noticed that I've, it
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: was just, I got to where whatever I was working
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: on was complete. And I was like, well, crap, now what? Well,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: let's go create something else, right? And so, yeah, you
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: just keep being into those joyful things that lift your
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: heart up. So we got to get more into what's
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: lifting us up and have more fun with that.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: So, friends, sounds like you have your task. assigned, uh,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: go be creative, go figure it out, uh, figure out what,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: what lights you up, what you enjoy doing and do
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: more of it. Um, and it could be multiple things
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: and that's okay too. So, um, other people are having
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: these conversations, whether internally or externally. So you can be
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: resourceful and share our content, share our links, um, make comments,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: ask questions, And let's be out there helping one another
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: as we move through this life experience and know that
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: we're not alone in what we're doing. There's somebody out
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: there experiencing something similar to you. And so this is
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: why Bev and I come have these conversations because we
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: know that somebody is going to hear it and it's
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: going to resonate. So any final words as we wrap
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: this up?
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: I say in the comments below, Make a comment about
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: the things that light you up.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because you might have an idea or you might
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: do something that somebody else hasn't tried yet or hasn't
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: even thought about and they might want to give it
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: a go.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. All right.
