I Don't Remember: Not Being Fully Present

Have you ever had a conversation with a friend about an outing you did together when you were younger and they recall so much more than you?

This can happen for several reasons but a huge one can be that although the outing may have been fun, you may not have been fully present. 

Not being present can be caused by several different scenarios. This is not shame or blame anyone it happens to many of us at different points in our lives. It can be disconcerting to not remember a situation, especially a joyful one. 
Here are some reasons that you were not fully present:

• If you are tired
• Worried
• Overwhelmed
• Overworked
• Unhappy
• Have a to-do list
• Have trauma 
• Have a different perspective than the person you were with

Often as women, we take on a lot and if you are a caregiver of your children, your parents or other loved ones. It can be challenging to be present. 

That's why self-care and support are important. 
Asking for help can feel hard but if you can do it and have the assistance of family and friends, it will help you so much. 


Also, ask for help and guidance from your doctor, they may have some resources for you. Often we just don't know who to ask or what to look for when we need a question answered. 

Self-care can be a warm bath, reading a book, talking to a friend, going for a massage, or reiki.

Taking time to journal will help as well to explore your feelings and thoughts. You can explore the past, present and future with journaling to gain clarity.
