No rewriting
It just occurred
Quickly try and remember what you had for lunch yesterday. It should be easy since it just happened within the last 24 hours. But our brains aren’t trained to retain details that aren’t important or related to our safety. If you were in an accident yesterday, you would still be thinking about it. Just to increase your awareness, write down your life history for yesterday. Include when you woke up, how you woke up, your activities and meals. Don’t forget to include your going to bed routine or time. What we do at night affects the next day in many ways. Even if your day was full of mundane tasks or work, it was your history. Your story. Every day isn’t going to be an exciting novel but that is actually the point. Every day is a part of the sweeping saga that will become your life story. Next, think about your history for today. If you thought yesterday didn’t measure up to your expectations, consider what needs to be added or subtracted to make your day qualify. Every human does have the ability to change their thoughts about their lives in a second even if they can’t change the circumstances. Maybe that trip to the humdrum grocery store or attendance at a boring meeting is that way because that is the way you are writing its story. Your history can be prewritten differently when you plan it instead of just accepting it.
