what is up everybody this is Chris from the rewired soul where we talk about the
problem but focus on the solution and today I am so excited because my buddy
Aaron from for the love of tak he has come over and he's been so gracious to
do a guest video over here on my channel but before I get to him I just want to
talk a little bit about why we're doing this collab so Aaron is a fellow YouTube
creator and those of you who are my loyal loving subscribers you know that
I'm in the business of just helping people and every now and then I do
videos like this to help other youtubers but anyways Aaron and I are part of this
youtuber community it's called the awesome creator Academy there will be a
link down below if you would like to check it out but one of the struggles
that a lot of youtubers deal with or any type of creative deals with is like
these blocks these mental blocks like for me personally sometimes I'm just
like Oh what do I make a video about today you know or or you know it could
be even coming down to my thumbnails like sometimes it's hard to spot
creativity and something that I found is that meditation helps me immensely so as
part of our youtuber group Aaron and I were talking about this and other people
in the community we're talking about how they're running out of ideas they feel
block man you know I wish people understood how much meditation actually
helps with this you know so Aaron has a YouTube channel it's called for the love
of tech and his channel is all about so he does a bunch of unboxings he does
reviews the dude also does some sick giveaways like he just gave away a
Nintendo switch not that long ago so I will put links to his channel up in the
info card down in the description and it'll be at the end of the video but
anyways I'll shut my mouth and I will pass it along to Aaron hey guys Aaron
here for the love attack doing a video today for my buddy Chris and today I was
chatting with him either yesterday or today and we were talking a
little bit about how meditation can help you overcome a creativity block as of
recently I have a little bit of experience with this I've been rocking
and rolling making a ton of YouTube videos I think I made close to 50 with
within 90 days which is a record for me since I just started doing you
with that said I kind of got to a place where I didn't know what to do a video
on and I'm thinking and I'm thinking and I'm like Aaron you've been doing these
videos naturally just flowing out you just non-stop every other day to a day
non-stop you don't like it you do it again and then all of a sudden it was
like I shut down I didn't know what happened so I started thinking what is
going on inside of me that is preventing me from moving forward into the universe
to create some new cool videos for you guys what I did is I took a moment and I
had to reflect now when I reflect it comes in several different stages or
phases everybody's different no one has to do the exact same thing every single
time this is what I do take a moment Center myself
exhale take a big deep breath in through the nose hold it and then out through
the mouth
as on taking the breath and I'm exhaling out I'm letting the breath carry away my
worries my attention maybe my anger my jealousy I'm letting
it carry out my feelings right typically I'm not in this amazing place and I
meditate out of desire I meditate out of the necessity to feel
better to help adjust my perception back to reality here with you guys
so let's try it again but this time on the inhale we're gonna inhale and we're
going to visualize in our brain that we're bringing in all the positive
creative energy of the world when we hold it in and we give ourselves that
moment to let the breath arrest within our body our bodies then absorbing that
creativity it's absorbing the inspiration it is absorbing the energy
that I'm missing and then when I exhale because I just brought all that good
stuff into my body I'm exhaling the blockage I'm exhaling the negative
emotions that's preventing me from moving forward for you guys and for me
now when I'm letting it go this time I'm going to put all that negative energy
into a tiny little toy boat and I'm going to push it off into the water and
I'm gonna visualize this in my head because when I visualize things it helps
me believe that this is what's really happening and this is what we're doing
is I'm retraining my brain to think differently I'm reminding myself that
attitude is a choice now I'm choosing something different let's try it again
now I feel awake energized rested even though it's kind of late at night I'm
feeling all these things I'm feeling like if I'm able to take out a little
bit time every single day for me that will help get past this block I have of
creativity and if you look at it it's already gone because I'm here right now
with you guys doing a little video from my buddy Chris over at the rewired soul
I hope you guys find the information I provided useful I am by no means an
expert on meditation it's a tool that I use in my life to help me cope and help
me maintain my level of stress and I'm gonna end this video like I end all my
videos whether I'm meditating or not check it out for the love attack namaste
alright so yes I hope you enjoyed that video I hope you you saw like one of the
things I loved about what Erin just did there is like so many people get
meditation twisted they think like meditation means that you have to sit at
this gorgeous peak of a mountaintop or in front of a stream in a monk's robe
like know like meditation could be as simple as one breath you know what I
mean and what this is doing is this blockage that we have this when we get
stuck in our creativity it's actually a lot to do with our ego and other things
going on so even with one simple breath it can help bring you back down and get
rid of all the clutter now I will commend Erin how is always compliment
people like Erin does some visualization it's something that my mind just doesn't
do so I will be making another follow-up video about some other meditations for
creativity so make sure you subscribe and I will do some on that the ones that
personally helped me but I absolutely love how Erin's is very short it's very
sweet it's very simple I hope you followed along
what you start to realize is that it's pretty much instantly calming I'll drop
some science on you real quick when you take these deep inhales and actually
trigger something in your body called the vagus nerve which helps decrease
cortisol levels and things like that which decreases stress so when we are
stressed we're not accessing certain parts of our
brain that allow us to be creative and typically when you're stuck or you're
blocked you start getting more cortisol in your system which makes you more
stressed and less creative so even one breath one simple breath can help you be
a lot more creative all right anyways like I mentioned before make sure you go
check out Erin's channel he does a bunch of tech reviews I love the dude he's
doing great he's doing awesome things and he's a good guy he's a good guy if
