Memories

Great article: How our emotions transform mundane events into strong memories

Explains how we can strengthen weak memories as well as make memories out of emotion-laden events.

I've always had an almost photographic memory, friends and family are often amazed when they're trying to remember something and I can give enough details that they are better able to remember. Sometimes though it has felt like too much and I use to get anxious when I did not remember as much as I thought I should. With therapy though I was able to give up the need to remember in such detail, like my life depended on it :-) and though my memory is still good and I respect and use it, I don't get quite so anxious if I have to wait to remember something or if I don't get the detail I want, etc.

That was a very interesting article. My memory isn't all that great either because of aging or because of the meds I'm taking, so I can use all the helpful hints that I can get.

Very Informative thank you for sharing. I to used to be able to remember so much now even if i am in a calm mood my attention to detail and memory is limited forget it all together if i feel any form of stress. Very Helpful thanks again.

Thanks for an interesting article, Perna. I'm fascinated with how memory works, including where "are" memories that we appear to be unaware of until something makes us remember.
