"Why do we always forget the things we want to most remember?" I ask myself this when I conveniently forget my wins while stewing in my losses. The losses always seem to carry more weight and last longer, but I know that's just my perception. I give them weight. I give them my attention. The shift to giving wins more weight and more attention is one I'm always trying to make.
I once heard the advice to make a "Win Resume" and list all of your accomplishments (whether publicly recognized or personally considered!) and I love that idea to consistently reflect and build that muscle -- my memory is *not good* when it comes to these things either, but writing them down and keeping them close at hand might be useful?
I love the zebras! I also love the advice to relax! (Even though I’m not a young writer.)
I think the advice holds for ... all of us!
