The Alchemy of Memory

With the arrival of a new year and the passing of the old, in this edition I share some insights on memories and how mutable they are.

Most of us believe that memories are fixed, and can't be changed. But that's not how memory works!

Memories are in fact present moment thoughts with a limiting label attached.

What this means means we can make of them exactly what we need them to be, to help us achieve the kind of lives we would love to be living.

That's worth remembering!

Here's what's in this first edition of 2024.

Reshaping Memory

Become the Alchemist of you own memories. Allow them become the very things you need to make 2024 the year you would love it to be.

The Alchemy of Memory

Here’s a thought experiment that will make 2024 the year you would love it to be.

Become the Alchemist of you own memories.

?It’s really simple (even if it sounds like it’s not), and doing it will allow those memories to become the very things you need to make 2024 the year you would love it to be.

So here’s the thought experiment.

As you reflect on 2023, remember this…

In the moment of recall a memory is no longer something from the past, it is a present moment thought. It is alive… it is a living thing!

You can leave it as it is, or you can choose to use that memory for how you need it now.

Because in the moment recall you are in the live reliving of that moment and can reshape its narrative intent.

You can alter and shift what you make that memory mean in ways that serve you now.

Why?

Because in the moment of recall you are looking at the memory from a different place, with a different perspective, and as the you now, that is different to the you back then. ?So the ‘memory-thought’ too, is different.

Explore this live remembering as a ‘present-moment’ happening and discover within it golden nuggets that could never have been seen back then. ?But they can be known right now.

They are abundantly there in all your memories just waiting for you to have the courage and curiosity to find them, so that they can serve you now. Reflect on that and it will have a profound impact on the stories you tell yourselves about WHO you are, WHAT you’ve done and what you’re CAPABLE of achieving.

So, become the Alchemist of you own memories and allow them to be what they already are… the very things you need to make the year ahead the year you would love it to be.

The Path That Leads You There

In the rich landscape of memories there is so much 'unseen' to be seen.

So many insights and lessons. So many golden nuggets of wisdom buried deep in subconscious fields of thought.

Come with me now on a journey into those fields.

Let's wander in wonderment together through the shadow shapes of memories, blowing in the breeze.

And as my voice goes with you, let go of trying to making meaning of the words you will hear.

Allow yourself a few precious moments to experience yourself at the deepest levels of who you really are... and all you have the potential to achieve.

Can I Help?

I work with entrepreneurs, business owners & leaders, artists and media figures who've achieved extraordinary things, but for whom, despite all their success, life has lost its meaning and purpose.

Through my work as a coaching, I help these extraordinary people use the challenges and obstacles, opportunities and fears they have right now, as the keys that unlock the rewarding and fulfilling life they’d love to be living.

Central to my approach is what I call Phoenix Rising which you can learn more about here.
