More Mis-messages about Aging memory loss

How many times have you heard yourself or your friends say, “I’m losing it”. EEKS… What are we doing to ourselves? Our words create our reality and if you are referring to forgetting things as you get older, I’d like to encourage you to reframe the experience. Isn’t it great that we forget a lot of our past – and even sometimes that we forget what we are saying at the moment? What do I mean?

Well, I don’t know about you, but, the memories I want to replay in my head are the ones where I was victorious, where I felt unconditional love and where I was at my peak. I remember these without hesitation. The other stuff — I may as well forget. Most of us dwell too much in our past anyway. We think it’s who we are when in fact, it’s no longer our truth. So, forgetting the past can be a very good thing.

What about forgetting mid-sentence what you were about to say? I find these moments sobering and they give me a chance to get centered and to ask myself, is this what I want to be thinking and saying right now? In other words, it keeps me more conscious – and that’s a good thing.

What about you? How do you feel about forgetting? Let’s hear from you here now.

    You are correct about our mis-messages. We would be wise to understand that every thought, every word, every feeling imprints on our hearts. We would do very well to live in truth with love and by doing that we will be able to create what is meant for us: joy, peace, comfort and happy relationships to name a few.
    It’s easy to see that you are having a positive impact on people all over the world. I’m proud of you!
