How memories affect us

Why do we sometimes wake up feeling good and few hours later we find ourselves feeling bad?
Why does our mood sometimes swing without any new events happening?

The answer lies in our memories, when we remember an old unpleasant memory our mood will change to the worse and the opposite happens when we remember a pleasant memory.

In this article i wont just tell you how memories affect you but i will also tell you how to create good lasting memories.

The creation of a memory

When Joe first traveled to Europe he didn't manage to deal with strangers because he was very shy. He kept comparing himself to his friends who were having no problem at all in dealing with new people and so he felt even worse.

Joe came back from the trip feeling bad and he thought that the only thing he had left was the bad memory of the trip itself but he never knew that he has created tons of bad memories without noticing.

When the world cup started Joe saw European countries taking the lead and he then recalled his euro trip which reminded him of the bad memories he had there.

Spain's flag, a European friend, the exchange rate of the dollar against euro and even the economic slow down in Europe reminded Joe of his failures!!!

Its now clear that each and everything that reminded Joe of his trip made him feel bad and since every event is usually associated with hundreds of anchors, Joe had hundreds of reasons each day to feel bad!!

How to get rid of bad memories

The first thing you need to do is to put in mind that every phase of your life is a new battle, if you won that battle you will be adding tons of pleasant memories to your past while if you lost the battle you will be adding tremendous bad memories.

But what if you already lost a battle? how can you escape the bad memories associated with it?

Simply by fighting once again and erasing the bad memories by creating good ones.
If i were Joe i would have first developed the skills that would have helped me realize my true potential at Europe then after wards i would take the first plane going there to erase my bad memories by creating new ones.

People keep telling each other that the past can't be changed but In the Solid Self confidence program i explained how winning a battle that you lost earlier can turn the bad memories into good ones.

If Joe did that successfully he will feel proud each time he remembers Europe because he will remember how he managed to win a battle that he was about to lose.

Go now, fight for better memories
