Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: When I'm listening to a podcast. There are many times
- 0:02Speaker 1: that I lose interest. It just falls apart. So I
- 0:04Speaker 1: have to find something quickly to listen to while I'm
- 0:06Speaker 1: driving to work or while I'm at work. The thing is,
- 0:09Speaker 1: I have to have a choice, and it has to
- 0:11Speaker 1: be made quickly. That's why we created Arrow dot net
- 0:14Speaker 1: Aroe dot net. It's right there for you. When you
- 0:18Speaker 1: have those moments where you gough, I'm not into this anymore,
- 0:22Speaker 1: enjoy your exploration. Hey, what's going on? It's me the
- 0:26Speaker 1: question guy, the dude that's always asking questions. Here's one
- 0:29Speaker 1: for you. The days are slow, but life is moving
- 0:32Speaker 1: too fast. How can we get off this fairest wheel
- 0:36Speaker 1: of life? Plus grumpiness isn't just a guy thing. The
- 0:41Speaker 1: numbers are sharply increasing in the department of women. My
- 0:46Speaker 1: name is Arrow. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf.
- 0:49Speaker 1: I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study,
- 0:52Speaker 1: then activate. I call it the daily Mess. It is
- 0:55Speaker 1: a chronological walkthrough in everyday world. It is my daily
- 0:58Speaker 1: writing as a receiver of thoughts and ideas. We as
- 1:01Speaker 1: people tend to throw things to the side because we
- 1:04Speaker 1: are convinced that We're gonna deal with it later on.
- 1:06Speaker 1: Here's what you do. You gotta write the thought down.
- 1:09Speaker 1: No matter how small it is, it's still very large
- 1:12Speaker 1: inside your heart. Get it down, ask the questions, then
- 1:15Speaker 1: question the answers. When a subject arrives inside of me,
- 1:18Speaker 1: it is time to dig in, make it fun. It's
- 1:21Speaker 1: still keeping that daily journal, but by doing the research,
- 1:25Speaker 1: the picture is always going to become clearer. This is
- 1:28Speaker 1: the daily mess. Days go by slow, life goes by fast.
- 1:34Speaker 1: Is there any way to calm down the speed of life?
- 1:39Speaker 1: Psychologists believe this paradox unfolds because the brain compresses familiar
- 1:44Speaker 1: routines into fewer memorable moments. When we look back, routine
- 1:49Speaker 1: periods always feel like that they move by too fast.
- 1:53Speaker 1: I noticed that while watching the Matt Damon movie The Odyssey.
- 1:57Speaker 1: I didn't like the idea that I was headed into
- 1:59Speaker 1: a movie that was too two hours and fifty two minutes,
- 2:01Speaker 1: And then I experienced it. It felt like maybe an hour,
- 2:06Speaker 1: not even three hours, which I thought was going to
- 2:08Speaker 1: be the worst part of the entire process. But no, no,
- 2:11Speaker 1: it didn't. It felt like about an hour. The toughest
- 2:14Speaker 1: part about being blessed enough to be on this planet
- 2:17Speaker 1: is that we can't slow down time, but butt butt butt,
- 2:22Speaker 1: we can make life feel fuller and less rushed. Some
- 2:25Speaker 1: of the very simple things that we can do include
- 2:28Speaker 1: breaking our routines by trying out new things. As much
- 2:33Speaker 1: as I preach about oh man, I would love to
- 2:35Speaker 1: see more people being alive in their present. It's almost
- 2:38Speaker 1: like whoa, whoa. Hold on, stop and think about what's
- 2:41Speaker 1: coming up next. Do all you can to spend time
- 2:44Speaker 1: with real people, not face to face time on your
- 2:47Speaker 1: stupid phone. Experience strong memories, always keep learning new things,
- 2:52Speaker 1: and yes, it is okay to stop and reflect. Do
- 2:57Speaker 1: so in a daily journal or just simply just talk
- 2:59Speaker 1: about it. We can't add more hours to the day,
- 3:03Speaker 1: but we can make those hours more meaningful. So pay
- 3:06Speaker 1: attention to the quality of everything that you're putting into
- 3:10Speaker 1: this moment of twenty four hours. Oh my god, coming
- 3:16Speaker 1: up next? Who is getting grumpier with time? Is it
- 3:20Speaker 1: men or women? Hey? Thanks for coming back to the
- 3:25Speaker 1: daily mess. Is it just men who get grumpy as
- 3:29Speaker 1: the age and why? Well, it's not just the guys.
- 3:32Speaker 1: It is well documented that women can actually be even
- 3:36Speaker 1: more grumpier than their opposites. For men, grumpiness is heavily
- 3:41Speaker 1: influenced by chronic pain and health problems. Also on that
- 3:45Speaker 1: list is poor sleeping patterns. Oh my god, stress about
- 3:49Speaker 1: retirement and hearing loss teamed up with a lack of energy. Okay,
- 3:54Speaker 1: so now let's bring in the women. Then what's stirring
- 3:56Speaker 1: up their aging pot hormones, sleep disturbances and caregiving responsibilities.
- 4:03Speaker 1: Mental health professional stress that grumpiness is not always attached
- 4:08Speaker 1: to a person's age. Many, many, many folks such as
- 4:11Speaker 1: my father, actually got happier and more patient and emotionally
- 4:15Speaker 1: balanced as he got older. It is well documented that
- 4:19Speaker 1: life's satisfaction increases for many people who are in their
- 4:23Speaker 1: sixties and seventies. Warning, though, if you've got no clue
- 4:27Speaker 1: what the hell we're even talking about, well, you're probably
- 4:30Speaker 1: going to be facing one day to be introduced to
- 4:33Speaker 1: somebody who is persistently grumpy. It can lead to your depression,
- 4:40Speaker 1: your anxiety, and wow, even more chronic pain in your life. Yeah,
- 4:45Speaker 1: other people's grumpiness will do that to you. Always keep
- 4:48Speaker 1: your family doctor up to date. There isn't a specific
- 4:52Speaker 1: age when grumpiness starts to set in. It's more like
- 4:56Speaker 1: going to show up in your frickin forties. Oh really,
- 5:00Speaker 1: mine was my thirties. Grumpiness is a sign. Always look
- 5:05Speaker 1: for the total cause and effect High Marrow. And that's
- 5:10Speaker 1: the daily mess.
