You’ll remember and then you’ll forget…
You’ll remember and then you’ll forget…
You’ll remember and then you’ll forget…
You’ll remember and then you’ll forget…
And on it goes…
So, do you think I’m talking about:
A. Where you put your keys.
B. Your grandma’s cookie recipe that you always forget to write down and just figure you’ll remember.
C. How exactly to use the TV remote to watch a movie.
D. The fact that you are a being of great spiritual power, loving, kind and compassionate, full of life, energy and vibrancy, able to climb the highest mountains and accomplish the greatest deeds.
Well, while technically the answer might be, “All of the Above”, I am, of course, referring to “D”.
And I’m referring specifically to that fact that ALL of us go through these cycles, of consciousness, and unconsciousness. Times when we’re inspired, in the flow, connecting with our highest self, letting go of stress, being productive, loving more and forgiving more. We’re reading inspiring words, we’re listening to inspiring media. We’re having loving, productive conversations. We’re being all we can be in this world.
And then we’ll go through a cycle of unconsciousness, when the world just seems to overwhelm us, when we hold on to grudges, when we want to be angry and we want to be right. When we refuse to forgive ourselves and others. When we eat without awareness and ignore the real needs of our body. When television or social media dominate our consciousness and we simply don’t feel the way we want to feel.
And then something will happen, perhaps a blog post like this one, or an email. Maybe it’s the inspiring podcast you put on, or an image that moves you on Facebook.
And then you’ll remember!
Oh, yes! I am a powerful spiritual being, I want to feel expansive and joyful and kind. I’m going to continue striving to create the life of my dreams. I can do this!
And then… yeah, you know what comes next…you’ll forget again. 😉
And that’s OK. This is a cycle ALL of us go through, the key is to remember MORE than you forget. So to help you do that, here are three simple tips to help you remember more than you forget.
THREE SIMPLE TIPS TO HELP YOU REMEMBER YOU ARE A BEING OF GREAT SPIRITUAL POWER
Tip #1: Put The Keys In The Same Place Every Day.
Of course, this is a simple tip that works really well when it comes to not losing your car or house keys. Put them in the same place, every day, so it doesn’t have to be a random search for them. I put mine in a drawer on the kitchen, right by where I normally walk in. That means that I ALWAYS know where they are. I can’t remember the last time I couldn’t find my keys, because they’re just THERE.
So the question is, what can you do to “REMEMBER” the truth about who you are and what you aspire to be? Maybe a post it right by your keys that says, “You’ve Got This” or “Love More” or “You are a powerful spiritual being”? You’ve got to grab your keys every day, why not grab that message with it? Or even better, something on your key chain that really stands out and reminds you of these truths?
Whatever it is, make sure you see it once a day, as early in the day as possible!
Tip #2: You Keep Forgetting Grandma’s Cookie Recipe Because You’re Not Writing It Down!
So this is pretty simple… write it down! Both Grandma’s cookie recipe (if you have a great one…share it with us in the comments below!) and the fact that you are a being of great spiritual power! Write it down! Affirm it! Acknowledge it! Commit to its reality. Whether it’s by daily journaling, or goal setting, or writing down affirmations, the process of writing has power, it can help you cement these truths in your mind body and spirit and you can use it to reconnect to these powerful ideas on a daily basis. And after you write it down, put it someplace you can see it. Put a sticky on your bathroom mirror or as discussed, something next to your keys. Remind yourself as often as possible of these great truths about yourself and your life.
Tip #3: Using the TV Remote To Get The Movie On Is Rarely Intuitive, There’s Usually A Set Of Simple Instructions To Follow, But You Have To Read Them!
What has changed my life in the past two decades has been the fact that I’ve been reading instructions, on how to live my best life. I’ve been reading instructions on how to use EFT Tapping to let go, release stress and shine my brightest. I’ve been reading instructions on how to love more, give more and be more. I’ve been reading instructions on financial abundance and creating a healthy body.
That remote doesn’t have a button that says, “Press here to put on the movie and do exactly what you want to do” – you’ve got to read the instructions. Our lives operate in the same way. We weren’t given an instruction manual at birth (would have been useful…) and in fact, many of us have been taught rather poorly. We’re following the wrong instructions.
Now it’s time to get the right ones. If there’s one thing that’s made the biggest difference in my life is that I’ve committed to filling my brain with positive, uplifting, grand, abundant instructions.
Audios, books, videos, anything and everything to help me REMEMBER. The more of this good stuff you put in, the more good stuff that will come out!
So that’s it. Some simple tips to help you REMEMBER more. Tell me, what tips do you have to help you remember the truth about who you are? Comment below! (and don’t forget the great cookie recipe if you have one…)
Until next time…
Keep Tapping!
