Save Your Good Memories

Good things always happen to us in life and it is necessary to learn to keep those good memories.
Save your good memories

Many times, at the end of a year, we think about how many things we would have liked to do and have not done, or we make an effort to remember good things that have happened to us and perhaps, it costs us. This last point is so important in the distressing times we live in… yes, good memories fill our hearts with peace and good feelings and make us look to the new year with optimism.

Therefore, today we propose a challenge that you are going to love, we are going to tell you: Save your memories. Sometimes our memory plays tricks on us, and it is that it is selective, although it is our attitude that determines what things it will select. This can cause us to remember bad times and “hide” the good ones.

The importance of good memories

Before proposing our challenge, we want you to be sure of the importance of good memories. It is scientifically proven that memories, good or bad, greatly influence our attitude.

Memories are nothing more than thoughts that come to our mind because of something we have experienced. Filling the mind with bad thoughts or memories can make us sad, negative, complaining, apathetic, and selfish.

While allowing good memories to fly through the bleak space of our minds can make us optimistic, positive, grateful, kind, and generous. We are sure of what type of person you want to be, as well as what type of person you want your child to be. Therefore, in our challenge children play an important role. 

Save your good memories

Imagine, we are going to propose something that will fill your mind with positive thoughts throughout the year, that will make you and your children better people, and that will also allow you to spend quality time with them. Shall we tell you?

Well, this will help you so that this year you do not regret anything that you have not done, such as that photo of the first time your child walked, or not having saved that drawing that your child gave you, or maybe it hurts not being able to remember some good things that happened. We propose the first part of our challenge!

Store them in a boat

The saying goes that a short pencil is better than a long memory. For this reason, we encourage you to choose a time of day, as a family, in which you can review what good times you have spent together that day. You write them on a small piece of paper and put them in a pot. The ultimate goal is to review them all when the year is over and thus face the new one with joy and optimism.

Every day always has something good, you can never deny the existence of a small light in a dark day. The essence is to give importance to the little things like:

  • Your son came to give you a hug to say “good morning”
  • Dad made you laugh with a joke
  • You made your children’s favorite food and their faces lit up …

We are talking about good memories that make the mind fall in love and feed the soul. You can choose the time of dinner, for example, when you are all together, or if it may be difficult for you to do it every day, choose one day a week. Can you imagine how much family ties will strengthen that each week you think about what good times you had together? Try it!

Take advantage of technology

In this technological age we can no longer say: “If I had had a camera …” You always have one! And this is the second part of our challenge. Appreciate the little things and immortalize them with a photo. A smile from your son, your children together playing quietly, the moment your husband tucks the children in and gives them a kiss … Any beautiful moment that makes you gasp.

The next step is not to leave them on the cell phone. You don’t need to reveal them if you don’t have the means to do so, but you can print them with a home printer, even in black and white. Then, in a shoe box that you will have lined with a nice bright colored paper, you will put all the “photos” that you will take again in the last week of the year to share them with the rest of the family.

Small details also form memories

We know that you save any drawing your little one makes of you, but what about a little note or a pretty flower? It doesn’t matter if it’s your son’s or your husband’s, put it all away! Put a little note of the time, place and why they gave it to you and keep everything in a small wooden box or a beautiful decorated tin. Of course, don’t forget to share it with others when the year is ending.

The objective of this is to unite the family, focus on the beautiful things that have been lived through a year and “bury” the bad. Because bad memories are useless, but good memories strengthen our spirit and feed our soul. Do you accept our challenge?
