I am pretty sure each and every one of us now and then sits and thinks about their past.

Different people have different times when they think about their past moments. But I can guarantee that this happens at a time when one is alone or when one takes a short moment / break from the everyday tedious schedule.

Lets call these as “SELF-MOMENTS” or as Ash says “ME-TIME” (I kind of like “ME-TIME”).

As you see in the Brain Diagram above, you notice that there is already a lot of stuff going on in there. This make the “ME-TIME” even more crucial in your everyday life.

For me, I usually go into my FLASHBACK when I am listening to a particular song that I relate to a happy, sad, anxious or tense moment in my life. Some of the moments are so embarassing or tense that I try to run away from them even in my mind :) .

Earlier this was not so bad as music was the only time I would think about the past. But lately I have started taking more “ME-TIMES” where I try to relax and get away from a hard days work. Now I am running away from my mind even more….hehehe….not a good thing huh!!

Kind of makes the whole purpose of the “ME-TIME” useless. Instead of relaxing I end up making it worse. Most of your past memories (and I say most because obviously no one has a PERFECT life) should make you smile and feel nice about yourself.

Well what’s done is done. How about a fresh start? Next time you say or do anything, just ask yourself: “when I remember this later will it make me feel good”. Lets make “The Present Make The Past Worth Remembering”. This PRESENT will be a great PAST to remember, that’s for sure.
