How can we avoid repeating these memory lapses. Well they are not really memory lapses, when doing things automatically you you hardly need to think about them. For example your breathing is controlled by your brain but do you remember when you last took a breath, probably not because you did it automatically without paying attention.
When you drive out of the garage, you most likely hit the door remote while driving off and it becomes an automatic action like any other part of your driving. So try this for a change, put a sticker or some kind of mark halfway down the outside of your garage door. Next time you back out of the garage, stop the car and put it in park before you hit the door remote. Don’t move the car until your eyes make firm contact with that mark on you garage door. Once you repeat this routine a few times it will become automatic and you will never have to turn back to check if it’s closed.
Organize your medication into a box with days of the week compartments. Yes thats what old people do but they are old for a reason, they still remember to take their daily medication.
Designate a place at home for your keys: a bowl by the front door, a drawer or a hook on the wall. Always put the key in the same place each time you enter the house. Most cars now have a push start so your car key can stay in your pocket or purse. Don’t leave them loose, fasten them to your purse or belt with a clip or carabina.
When you park in an unfamiliar place like a mall or airport parking write down the row number on the parking ticket or take a photo with your phone. Some phones will help you find your parked car with GPS tracking apps. Hey where did I put my phone?
Do you consider the week half over or half to go? If you knew when you will die, would you celebrate living half of your life or having half left?
Are you happy in this moment of time or are you waiting for a happier moment to come along?
I am declaring this moment in time to be transient because by the time you finished reading this sentence, the moment has gone forever and been replaced by another moment.
Does this mean you can only be happy for the tiny moment we call now and then lose it all at the end of that moment forcing you to refill the arriving empty moment with more happiness? What an exhausting way to live, much easier to stay happy constantly and let the moments come visit you.
Happy ?% completion of your life
Happy 17th day of this fourth month of your yearly orbit around the sun.
