00:00:00.170 --> 00:00:03.470
Creativity is an addiction unplugged because we will always say
2
00:00:03.529 --> 00:00:06.690
yes to creativity totally uncut because we all make mistakes
3
00:00:07.089 --> 00:00:09.369
so let's turn it into a tool this is arrow
4
00:00:09.550 --> 00:00:12.689
unplugged is it true that the older we get the
5
00:00:12.730 --> 00:00:16.050
fewer friends we have and if it is true why
6
00:00:16.989 --> 00:00:19.769
and is it possible our current personal battles with confusion
7
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:24.420
is due 100 to getting too much information my name
8
00:00:24.460 --> 00:00:26.780
is arrow i am a daily writer a silent wolf
9
00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:29.980
I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch.
10
00:00:30.339 --> 00:00:33.140
I listen, I study, and then we get to activate.
11
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:36.380
I call it the daily mess, a chronological walk through
12
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:39.520
an everyday world. Yes, it's my morning writing. As a
13
00:00:39.579 --> 00:00:42.259
receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to
14
00:00:42.380 --> 00:00:44.659
throw things to the side and deal with it later.
15
00:00:44.979 --> 00:00:47.079
When a subject hits me, I know it's time to
16
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:50.369
dig in. It's still keeping a daily journal, but by
17
00:00:50.450 --> 00:00:54.530
doing the research, the pictures become clearer. This is the
18
00:00:54.570 --> 00:01:00.659
daily mess. Observation number 49. The older we get, the
19
00:01:00.740 --> 00:01:04.000
less real friends we have. It's a very true statement.
20
00:01:04.659 --> 00:01:07.439
In some studies, it's not because the older we get,
21
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:10.579
the angrier we get, which means we have fewer friends. No,
22
00:01:10.609 --> 00:01:13.209
it's not based on that at all. It's actually about
23
00:01:13.370 --> 00:01:18.269
the availability of time and opportunities. All relationships require work.
24
00:01:18.670 --> 00:01:21.730
As we age, it's natural to make our circles smaller,
25
00:01:22.329 --> 00:01:25.640
which adds value and quality to the moment shared. One
26
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:29.579
researcher says that we should prioritize our friendships. Does this
27
00:01:29.620 --> 00:01:33.170
mean people tend to grow apart? Absolutely, that's exactly what
28
00:01:33.189 --> 00:01:36.129
that means. There are a lot of factors as to why.
29
00:01:36.769 --> 00:01:40.069
Death being one of them. Divorce. Moving to new areas
30
00:01:40.109 --> 00:01:45.140
of the town or even country. Sabotage and competition. As
31
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:48.180
we grow apart in miles, as do our values and
32
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:52.290
our beliefs. Becoming less social, and yet during the COVID lockdown,
33
00:01:52.810 --> 00:01:55.230
I went the opposite direction. I took on a job
34
00:01:55.430 --> 00:01:57.530
that put me right in the center of all of
35
00:01:57.569 --> 00:02:00.549
these people. The number one goal was to get to
36
00:02:00.629 --> 00:02:03.329
know my community, which might be the lesson that we
37
00:02:03.349 --> 00:02:06.250
learned from today. Measure the size of your circle of friends.
38
00:02:06.750 --> 00:02:10.370
If it seems small, become a volunteer. Get involved with
39
00:02:10.409 --> 00:02:14.500
your community or go get a part-time job. Hey, coming
40
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:19.409
up next, getting too much content, is it hurting our
41
00:02:19.469 --> 00:02:24.069
inner soul? Hey, thanks for coming back to The Daily Mess.
42
00:02:24.569 --> 00:02:28.979
Observation number 50. Can getting too much content be getting
43
00:02:29.099 --> 00:02:33.539
too much information? So, so, so true. When the amount
44
00:02:33.580 --> 00:02:37.060
of information exceeds our brain's ability to process it, It
45
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:41.610
can lead to information overload, also known as info paralysis.
46
00:02:42.409 --> 00:02:45.150
It comes with a negative effect. Signs of getting too
47
00:02:45.189 --> 00:02:49.409
much include a difficulty in sorting things out or prioritizing information.
48
00:02:50.210 --> 00:02:54.289
Decision making becomes a task. Imperatability is also on the
49
00:02:54.330 --> 00:02:59.409
awareness list. A lack of motivation and productivity. And anxiety.
50
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:04.509
Too much information can serve as a huge trigger. Ways
51
00:03:04.530 --> 00:03:07.090
to break free of our addiction to content means cutting
52
00:03:07.110 --> 00:03:11.490
yourself off from that smartphone, setting goals, or creating intentions.
53
00:03:12.349 --> 00:03:15.240
If you're constantly craving content, go at it with what's
54
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:19.840
called the miniskirt approach. A very little bit of info
55
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.800
at a time. Read the headlines and maybe the first sentence.
56
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:28.870
Here's one that'll get you. Stop looking at photographs. Pictures
57
00:03:28.990 --> 00:03:32.229
actually do more damage to you mentally than reading the story.
58
