Remember Not To Forget

How much do we actually remember?

I've read numerous books and every time I read a book I think to myself "That's good! I'll remember that!"

Chances are I won't and when I do forget I'll never know... Because I forgot.

As humans we have terrible memories. Even the stuff we do remember we may not remember accurately. Just think back to an event that happened with other people and all the difference perspectives of the event.

So how do we remember?

For myself, I make notes for everything and put everything I can into my calendar. Siri and the reminders on my phone are my best friends. Instagram stories are great to look back on too!

The most important thing of all though...

I write down ALL the fun things I have done and my accomplishments as I go through the year. This one exercise alone is powerful and a great reminder of how amazing life is (and how much I actually forget).
