I've developed this horrid habit of reading the headlines before preparing my imagination for a full day of writing and producing. During this Social Distancing I've remained very disciplined about being up at 4:30am. Take that walk first thing through late night becoming early morning. I view the moon and the stars while listening to the owls and all other things beginning to wake. Then I poison the moment with headlines from CNN.com, ABCNews.com and everything local. While picking up my writing instrument its wham! I hit a wall so thick that being a free form thinker during my date with stream thinking breaks a part by the poison caused by sensationalism. You never know how important your Martial Arts studies are until the moments of Positive Thinking are invited to the parade. But its only a tool. You can't buy it at Home Depot or have it delivered by Amazon. It's a tool. More than ever its needed during this lingering shutdown. Sadly the power of positive thinking is worthless if you don't activate it. Anyone can bring up a happy thought. It works like ice cream. Up you go for a moment and boom biff bam you've fallen again. On this podcast episode we take a walk through this very subject. I've never hidden the truth about my positive thinking. There are people that just can't stand it because to them it looks fake by way of acting out something so that others don't see the truer colors. Winning is a choice. So is being in a bad mood. Uncertainty is a horrible place to be sitting in everyday. Especially since the news people are laying out the bricks for a path that could send us through the greatest economic depression of all time. How does positive thinking work in this atmosphere? Tools break and positive thinking is one of the first to go. Prayer and meditation right? If you knew how many people tell me that doing it requires too much work and time. We want to be fixed now. Here's what always works. Gratefulness. All of your pieces parts are brought back together. Gratefulness begins with being mindful of everything around you. My computer crashed in a big way this morning. I lost an hour in a half of work. Yep. Start all over! In that down time I sat in my dining room with school teacher wife who was five minutes from starting class. We shared breakfast together. The little stuff man! Be grateful for the almost invisible mundane stuff. It does amazing things for the mind body and soul that's been poisoned by so much gone wrong. The headlines aren't going away. The power of positive thinking will always be available but it becomes a minute by minute choice to really believe in its activation. Yeah I know too much work. Gratefulness always wins.

Bruce Lee is best known for his amazing Martial Arts skills. But he was never a master of one. Bill Gates will forever be remembered for helping to usher in the home computer generation. Was it what he mastered? What about your journey? Have you mastered something? My Martial Arts Master always informed us that it requires 100,000 repetitions in order to begin a journey of mastering something. If you are a brilliant kicker in class I don't expect you to be a great blocker or puncher. We are designed to master only one thing. Forty one years of radio. I am nowhere near what a Master Broadcaster should look and sound like. A daily writer for twenty six years and I truly expect Creative Writing teachers to rip my attempts apart. I created the podcast View From The Writing Instrument for one reason. To talk with writers. Hundreds of them. None the same. Have they mastered their skills? Those of us on this side of print might think so until you hear them personally talk about the journey. Are we supposed to be more like Bruce Lee and accomplish a lot by being just good enough? I know plenty of multi tasking hard working mind blowing people that can cover enormous amounts of space which makes others feel like they've done nothing. As we continue to grow toward the reopening of our incredibly awesome country you're gong to be challenged by a new layer of business decision maker. Thirty three million people unemployed right now. That's a ton of creative minds about to accept whatever it takes to keep their house a home. The invisible part of this present Coronavirus journey isn't the actual virus. Its how the decision makers in companies in question will handle the employee of tomorrow during their bouts with PTSD and other mental conditions they couldn't control but were totally bent into a new shape by this changing world. My wife's school provides work groups with mental professionals weekly. They're strengthening their staff without having to threaten their job. The next steps in getting over this mess to make sure you never feel empty. There'll be new measures put into place on if you need to wear a mask, have your temp checked and heavily spraying down your space. It should also include your business providing mental rebuilding at no cost. We can do this. We have what it takes. Knowing your strength isn't having a grip on how much work you can do. It's realizing how incredibly worthless you feel after a great day of busting ass and there's an huge list of expectations still ahead of you. That creates emptiness. No! Recognize the victory. Do all you can to never feel empty.

The Big Gamble

At a time when so many can find reason to communicate, the decision to dislocate strong connections remains stable in their hearts. Somewhere along the path the idea of distancing was being practiced long before the Coronavirus. I wrote about "Ghosting" a lot in 2018 and 19. It was accepted because it was the internet and nobody's really true friends. If you are, then there's more to life than a web page. On this podcast I put focus on how short the lifespan was when it came to bringing compassion and understanding forward. As things begin to slowly open across the nation its physically visible on how we're evolving back into a mine mine view of the new expected. How are your relationships at work? Most of us are doing it from home via Zoom and other digital outlets. The question again. How are your relationships? There are no high fives or you rocks. There's no quick runs for fast food or a hot coffee from Starbucks. The coldest part of the journey is set to hit. We see things opening but we still don't have a hair stylist, nail salon, movie theater and dinner for two at Applebes. Why then are we dislocating from our reasons to communicate? A thought fell from my writing instrument this morning. An ancient lesson I've held close for many years. The strong suffer alone. Surviving through the dark. A prisoner of their own mind. As we grow more confident on this Coronavirus walk our strength will have its way. As will the silences we'll personally face. I didn't make up the statement. Its been lived by millions before us and long after. The strong suffer alone. Surviving through the dark. A prisoner of their own mind. We'll never know of your struggles unless you talk about it. Therefore we ask of you. Don't "Ghost" yourself.

Saving Your Soil

The next time you feel like challenging your level of ability place a writing instrument in your hand and let it sit there without writing anything. The exercise teaches your imagination how to become aware of the energy as it builds inside your perception of reality. I'm constantly told by writers and authors how they have to be in the mood to put stuff down. Creative energy isn't a mood. It's what we do everyday in every place of business. We collaborate with other creative minds. Because of this Coronavirus shutdown that source of release has taken a hit by what it feels is you ignoring it.. Kind of a weird thought right? How can you ignore creative energy? For some, that level of expectation has been completely run into the ground because not only are you playing the part of a parent but you're the teacher, the business planner and promoter and the motivational speaker to everything and everyone around you except with you. Hold that writing instrument. Don't use it. Just hold it above a very clean sheet of paper. Begin the process of learning how to recognize how creativity moves through you. After fifteen minutes drop the pen and walk away. Watch your mood suddenly change. Every creative endorphin that thought it was going to come to life on that sheet of paper is reacting. This is what it's like to ignore your creative self. Awareness is your greatest tool right now. It is the key that unlocks the availability of stability and everything that questions it. Swoosh right over your head! Awareness is the key that unlocks the availability of stability and everything that questions it. As we continue to evolve with these unexpected changes of structure you can't leave your creative self behind. Trusting the thinking patterns and knowing if something is out of tune or not in rhythm. On this podcast I introduce you to new ways to recognize new patters. Habit starters. Out of place thinking and something that comes to you as being someone you don't know. Be honest with me. Do you know yourself? You know your habits and escapes. Do you know yourself? Without writing I'd be without balance. It doesn't have to be pretty. Only trusted. If you think getting to know your family and friends during this social distancing has been a tough walk to take. Hold that writing instrument over a sheet of clean paper for fifteen minutes and get to know how you become you. Energy that can't be ignored. Save your soil.

In the end who will win? The question keeps coming up. Over the past eight to nine weeks so much information has run through each of us. Some of the info was valuable enough to hold onto while a lot of the other is just sitting there. It's taking up mental space. It seems like a waste to suddenly throw it away. I mean what happens if this virus thing comes back with a bigger bite? If this were Hollywood, Corona would return with Zombies and Super Heroes turned bad. On this podcast the vision is to be transparent enough to try and answer the real question. In the end who will win? We've been introduced to some amazing people working jobs that so many of us have walked past without recognizing their hard work, dedication and loyalty. Maybe its just me but the winning won't stop in twenty twenty, It'll be the decisions people make long after this virus has become a faded memory. You know that thing we did. The mental and physical impact this social distancing has had on school students will reach their children. To drop the new life we were forced to adopt by doing work at home will be extremely hard to shake because the home has provided unheard amounts of less stress and face to face on demand pressure. My dentist is reopening their doors tomorrow. Twelve hour days. Now open on Fridays. Correct me if I'm wrong. Didn't employees also get a lengthy time out? What did they do to recondition themselves not only on how to deal with customers but with coworkers and bosses fighting to keep the door open? In the end who will win? This is still fed and based on choice. The decisions we make with the raw uncut information that needs to be dropped behind us. Put it in a journal. Record your voice on the smart phone. There's no need to do anything but wash your hands over and over again. The valuable lessons you learned along the way will always have a street to walk on. Clean out our mental gutters and lets move forward by mentally and physically getting the mind body and soul prepared for an eight hour workday that's gonna feel longer than an eight week Coronavirus work stoppage. In the end you will win. Winning is a choice.

Is It Too Early To Brag

The internet trolls got me over the weekend. I posted a thought about laying low on showcasing the whereabouts of where you presently stand. As states and cities begin to slowly open the human need is always going to be to get out and run. While there lets flash our good times all over social media. Are we there yet? Is it really time to start setting ourselves up in the way that we are the Jones' and the world has to keep up with us? Very politely I asked that we stop bragging. Here's my source of energy. Those receiving the posts aren't going to brag about what it's like to not have rent money again this month. They're not going to brag about deciding which car will get the gasoline or if there's enough money to pay for the smart phone. Business owners still not cleared to open their doors aren't bragging about how close they are to having no doors ever open again. Take note of the confidence that's quickly coming back into play. There are new leaders in the pyramid building. Sadly its those who were lucky enough to keep their jobs. While my neighborhood is still waiting for its first unemployment checks the world is being held together by new ladder climbers. Not a complaint. Awareness is everything. I was bothered by a printed article this past weekend that was fed by the news of some companies maybe not getting their full staff back because rightfully the old workers are making better money some place else. I've read the stories about entertainers that won't get the chance to perform again this year because that side of the pandemic won't be cleared for large crowds until maybe next year. My Aunt Louise used to bop me upside the head when she felt I was bragging. She always warned me about telling people who I really was at home and not the fake little boy at a family reunion or other gathering. Which I think is the reason why the beach photos and expensive car shots and life is better than its ever been can wait a little longer. Just a couple of weeks ago we were all equal. Facing the same uncertainty. Now that we're seeing a beam of light shouldn't be permission enough to call anyone king.
