hi Brooke.

Very interesting podcast and videos this week.

I’ve been doing my homework each day, with many interesting revelations on my functioning and beliefs. However I’m concerned that I have a poor memory and that I will directly forget all my ah-ha moments from the homework, podcasts, models and calls. I can’t even remember what I did yesterday. My belief has been that I learn quickly, am briefly fascinated then forget instantly. Grasshopper mind.

I also notice that I have great difficulty remaining present, even though I meditate daily – I’m always forgetting names, losing keys, dropping things, bumping in to things. Anxiety isn’t very good for concentration.

C: Lost my keys
T: I’m always losing my keys
F: Hopeless, incompetent, sad, worried
A: Tear down the house looking for them
R: Find them

C: Lost my keys
T: My memory and focus are getting better all the time
F: Hopeful, glimmers of competence
A: Remember where I put my keys
R: Not lost as often

How would you deal with a strong belief like the memory one? Would I re-model this each time I forget something? Or stick the model on the wall? Or how can I remember that my memory isn’t that bad any more? 🙂

Thx
Dex
