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 stream thinking. It's learning how to trust what is
in your present place of right now. To get there
requires practice. Here's what I do each day. Want you

(00:20):
to paper just ten minutes, write about whatever is moving
through your presence of right now without any type of judgment.
Stream thinking sharpens your skills as a listener, as a communicator,
and as an activator. It's learning how to trust everything
that is right now. This is stream thinking today. We're
reading from September seventeenth, twenty twenty four. When your parents'

(00:42):
ancient big band favorites find a peaceful purpose in your
present day heart. This isn't something new to human behavior.
It's actually a musical trigger, mainly because it's a free
ticket back to a series of memories. Mental health professionals
say that music activates the brain's rewards cis, it releases dopamine,
which is associated with pleasure and emotions. Being familiar with

(01:06):
the music sets up our mood making, which doesn't always
come across as a positive but it's always worth looking
into such a life enhancement to understand, as well as soothe,
music has always had the power to change our moods.
Getting caught listening to your parents' music. Mmmm, Its presence
actually helps you respect your own generation. Now, I do

(01:29):
say that I live in the present, and in doing so,
I do not go back to old music to rely
on memories to give me a soothing as it's talking about,
I don't want to relive where I was when I
heard meat Loaf for the very first time. But what
I would love to do is create something in mine
now that includes meat Loaf. You see what I mean.

(01:49):
It's almost like a reversing of what memories are. I
like to create moments, and I'll use songs from the
past to be in this place called now, and it
allows me to fall in love with that music all
over again, because nothing injures me more than when I
hear a radio disc jockey say this song came out
forty five years ago. What forty five years ago? I
bought it as a forty five Oh crap. That means

(02:11):
I'm old right learning how to take those older songs
and making them new today, bring them into your present
place of now, the new things that you're doing, and
they will have a bigger presence in your heart and
not the weight of ugh. Really, I'm arrow, and that's
stream thinking
