Arroe Unplugged Page Two Thousand Four Hundred Fifteen Vocal De Fragging

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Creativity is an addiction unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged,
hey Sarow.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
And this is vocal d fragging. Vocal defragging is taking
the time to listen to your pitch, volume and tone,
to ask yourself the questions and then question the answers.
It seems like an easy task, right, It also seems mundane.
Why when I ask myself questions and then question my answers. Well,
because when you really boil it down to one thing,

(00:32):
and that one thing is you, who better to know
you than you? Every bit of your mind, body, and
soul has been lived out inside of you, and yet
we depend on other people to give us the answers
to make decisions for us. Well, in fact, I shouldn't
be the answer. The answer is in you ask yourself

(00:52):
the questions and then question the answers. This is vocal defragging.
The subject today is based on one thing, one hour.
How can one hour have such an impact on your life?
We all go through those moments where the job, the
place of business that you work for, they just need

(01:13):
one more hour, or they need to screw up your
life and put you on a different shift for just
a couple of days. And really all it is is
just adding one more hour, or in my case, I
got there one hour later so I could stay one
hour later. But yet the morning after, it feels like
you've come under one hundred percent full metal jacket attack.

(01:36):
How can one hour have this kind of impact? So
it makes me wonder what else in our everyday life.
Let's take away the workplace, Let's take away your quick
run to the doctor, one hour of just you being
you at home, maybe on vacation, maybe in a place
of new discovery. And yet the next day it's almost

(01:59):
like you have a one hour hangover. How do you
get through that storm? I've been writing all day. I've
been trying to understand what the mind is going through
while being very compassionate with what I put my body through.
One hour is only sixty minutes, and yet it feels
like I've been doing this for fifteen or twenty hours.

(02:23):
Learning to listen to your body and giving it some
self love is one of the greatest lessons that you
can do for yourself. It's not running out to go
get a Red Bull or get some Starbucks coffee. It's
not going to falsify the deal with other forms of uplifting.
What you have to do is you have to learn

(02:44):
how to motivate yourself, the inner core of your being. Yes,
it's tired, it's exhausted. You pushed it into a place
that reached far beyond your daily habits. One hour and
you sit there and you show your shoulders going. It
doesn't seem like much, but it has been and it

(03:06):
will be because for most people that one hour is
on a repeat. You have to do it again because
change usually isn't just for one day. It usually comes
in twos and threes, sometimes even longer. I know people
who've changed careers and everything that they used to do

(03:27):
is in the past, all of those hours that you
have dedicated yourself to. I remember doing morning show radio.
I would be at the station by four o'clock every
day so that I could do my show prep before
we went live at six am to do a show
until ten am, and then I did commercial production waking

(03:50):
up at two forty five am. Asked me to do
that today not going to happen, not even at the
essential job that I'm doing these days, going to give
anybody that kind of loyalty ever again. But those are
just words, and we listen to our own words. We're
commanded by our own words. We put ourselves in positions

(04:11):
of decision making by our own words. But what are
your actions? That's what I'm really interested in. What are
your real actions and how is your body going to
react to those actions? Then you have Then you have
the one hour hangover. Talk with yourself. Don't talk to yourself,

(04:33):
talk with yourself. Listen to yourself. Go ahead and feel
the impact of that one hour, or that one more day,
one more week. Allow your body to have a voice
that speaks. I just happen to call it vocal defragging.
