Are you living in the moment or in the memory?
written by CRISTINA TABOADA | APR 26, 2021
Don’t mix up how you feel with how you felt. Emotions reside in the moment and last seconds. Memories reside in thought and you can choose how long to stay there. Are you still frustrated at the person who cut you off two hours ago? Or have you been remembering for two hours the frustration you felt then?
- THE MOMENT. How you feel. Now. In the present moment. The experiencing self. The extraverted senses. Emotions reside in the moment and last seconds.
- THE MEMORY. How you felt. The story you tell about the moment. The remembering self. The introverted senses. Memories reside in thought and you choose how long to stay there.
