Vocal De Frag With Arroe Collins

As a daily writer I asked myself, "Are you sharing a story?" My inner voice shocked me, "No I'm exploring." You don't have to be a writer for your imagination to be looked upon as one. It's always working and filling your heart with massive amounts of thoughts. Are you sharing a story or exploring?

Men as well as women face the moments when how we express is taken as bad energy. My father let his grumpy old man flag fly. Learning how to deal with it begins with being aware.

Being a quitter isn't always a negative. There are countless times we quit things to make room for the new. We quit to relieve the anxiety from personal expectations. We quit because it was time. But can we un-quit a quit? Now that we know both sides of the fence it should be more insightful right? A better understanding of why we quit versus why it's important to believe in second chances. Admit...

We spend so much energy on keeping things about us hidden away. It allows outsiders to draw their own conclusion. What would happen if we stop stuffing things in what I call a Kept box? You have kept this and that from people. For whatever reason it was hidden away. There were many things I wish my parents would've unveiled. They kept things away. Are you a Kept person?

We're constantly moving through change. But there are things that aren't moving. Is it by choice? What would you like to change but can't? Ask the questions then question the answers. Let's De Frag...

Writing things down or posting your thoughts on social media isn't the sickness. It's holding back. What image are you giving off that is completely out of harmony with what you're truly thinking?

We've all heard how one man's trash is another man's treasure. What if the trash being tossed out were your vocalized thoughts? Maybe what we post on social media? What are you throwing away that's becoming another person's treasure?

The outside of your walk and way is shaped by others, bosses, friends, family and motivators. What does the inside view of self look like? Why is it so important to get to know the one thing that has the daily ability to keep you from your dreams?

If you aren't keeping a written daily journal or shooting your thoughts through a digital recording device, there's a huge chance that you keep living your past over and over. We spend so much time trying to get it out. The problem is, we keep reliving it. Once out, walk away. Let it go! You don't need to reread your social network posts or journals. It's going to put you back in that dark place.

We're that generation! We want a donation or tip for everything. Then we wonder why we're never happy. A new report says consumers are tired of handing out money. I've seen wait staff members and others explode because they felt like they did a great job. No wonder we can't find peace in our workplace surroundings. We think being there is every reason to be paid extra. My daily goal is to go into...

The things we do for others and how it ends up hurting us physically and spiritually. Do you protect yourself? How?

While speaking into our hearts do you see it as your authentic self or is it participating with the monsters that live there? Every decision we make is fed by what's living in your moment of now. Bringing out the monsters is said to be healing but they've been set free to roam the outside world. Learning how to trust your authentic voice. It's a daily discipline. How do you know it to be truth fil...

Your moments. Those slivers of time when something completely unexpected has entered your path. The moments that become seeds. Once planted new stories begin to grow. It begins with learning how to accept your moments.

Friends and family will walk away, place blame, ghost you and or just write you off as a maybe but not now. We all have to face other people's perception of who they think we are who they want us to be. No matter how it turns out, you have to face the face in the mirror.

Where do you find your best answers in your past or the things you've passed?

When things don't go as planned. We deal with this mess more times than we'd like. What's your initial reaction? Growing up in a household where my sister's emotions would force my father to turn the car around and just like that we were headed away from family fun. Vocal De Fragging keeps you focused on what is going to be a better path to lead.

My wife and I have been locked in on doing a physical Swedish Death cleaning. What we didn't know was how long it would take and how hard it would play on our emotions. I didn't want to do a vocal de frag on the accusation of taking up space. Being real with yourself opens your eyes to how much room we are truly taking up. Not just materialistically but mentally.

We all do it. We complain about how nobody understands us. How nobody stands up for us. How nobody is listening. Identify your nobody. Especially the nobody inside of you.

Musicians and other creative minds keep two different types of storage places available. The Front Line are projects that date from day one to eighteen months. Everything else is put inside the catalog category. In our own personal lives we serve ourselves the same. It's just that nobody has ever laid it out. We spend so much time living in our past. Call it your catalog. The things we need to wor...

If there was a machine that you could put your hands on that enabled you to see who you were truly supposed to be in life, would you change your walk and way?

What are you ignoring? Rarely do we rely on ourselves to push the right things into play. We're letting other people decide for us. Then complaining about where we are in life. Ask the questions then question the answers. How often do you take notes about how you're moving through life? The answers are there! We're just ignoring them.

Not everybody believes in the idea that you have be emotionally connected to find your focus. Research shows that business leaders need to remove emotion to properly run a strong team. On this episode of De Frag it becomes my focus to introduce emotion in a way that's not connected to ups and downs but rather the fuel that feeds drive.

I've got what you've got. You've got what I've got. We've got everything but each other. This is the blind ambition. We're wearing the same clothes, own the same smartphones and eat at the same restaurants. But we don't have each other. People who look happy are influencer's. People buy because they think what they've got will make them happy. But lets turn it around. What do you think you've got...

Where is your to? We're always wanting to get some place. Where is it? How do you define it? Will you know when it's arrived or walked away? The storms we move through in order to get to.

Who owns the fuel that starts your fire? Do you own the wood to keep that fire alive? Many do not. How do you get control? There needs to be a follow through. People treat you like a chunk of wood. Your presence has to keep their fire burning. That can change. Own the fuel. You are the wood. Find your follow through.
