The Shape of Memories.

How often do you look back at your life and relive the same unpleasant events, over and over again, and relive them with the same feelings and emotions, over and over again. It's painful, it's exhausting and it doesn't change what happened, not one little bit. Yet we go back in time, time and time again, to revisit past hurts and failings, without resolution and with no greater understanding of why we do this.

Going back and reliving the past is taking time and attention away from our present and taking away the only opportunities we have to make real changes in our lives.

Yet we still do it.

What if we could look at these past events through a different lens, and anchor ourselves in the present, equipped with all the strength, knowledge and wisdom that life experience brings, so we can observe and assess these things as if we are watching them on a screen, safe from the effects they once had upon us. Once we get used to streaming our memories, we can then decide whether to delete them, or store them away with all the other memories that no longer serve any purpose in the present moment.

Memories are like water, you can choose to go into the water and get lost in its depths, or you can choose to look at what's reflected on the surface then move on.
