Part of living a passionate life is in creating wonderful memories that you can recall with joy. I wrote this after my wedding… take a look and tell me how YOU create great memories!
As we are living a life experience, we are creating the raw footage of the movie of our lives. In those moments, like in filming a movie, some things go the way they are supposed to and others don’t. Directors don’t really fret, they know things can be fixed in the editing room later. In those moments, their attention is continuously in the NOW, creating each scene in the moment. Creating the experience. Similarly, as we are living our life experience, we can stay present in the moment, creating each scene, creating the experience, and not fretting over what went our way or did not. We will manage it later in the editing room. In this moment, we are only to be present to continue creating great footage.
Then, ‘in the editing room’ – after the experience is over, each time we look back on the ‘raw footage’, we are creating the ‘movie’ or the memory of the experience. Like the directors, we can *choose* which scenes we want to look back on and which ones we turn our attention away from, thereby consciously creating the memory we will hold forever. In the end, we relive the experience only by the memory that we created. And so this recalling part is very important and must be done deliberately.
Live your life experience fully, be present for it, and create lots of great footage. Then, carefully choose the scenes you recall and create the memory that captures those elements of the experience that you wish to relive again and again. Given how many of our physical ailments can be attributed, at least in part, to mental upset, this practice may very well be a small key to good health and happiness.
And ACTION!!
What a great reminder… and what are YOUR thoughts??
