We do not understand the value of the moments until they have become memories

If remember past wrongs you and prevents you to fill your present of new and positive feelings, let it go. Remember that life is what happens while you're busy with other plans

Enjoy the past is to live twice.
Marcus V. Martialis

We are going to ask to close the eyes for a few moments, that ye may remember aromas of childhood, the smell of the hair of your mother, fights and games in the Park, the intensity of love in adolescence, the illusion of twelfth night... Remember something, what you want, but feel it in depth.
We are capable of this and much more. Revive hundreds of memories of our childhood , our adolescence but, however, we are not able to do it with the same intensity with the moments we live into adulthood.

This happens because, as we will be older, not we stop or to feel or to enjoy, because we live upstream and let life pass before us. In the end, as a result, accumulate memories by inertia.

The past as a prelude to the future

We turned to longing and nostalgia with the idea of reviving, remember and take advantage of something that we believe that it escapes us. However, as we have said, when we are adults spent you more time commitment to generate good memories than to the fact of not letting life to escape without living it.
Perhaps the problem is that older understand what children we have not yet experienced: past is the prelude to the future. This, no doubt, catch us. And it does so because we strive to set absolutely everything in our life, without leaving nothing to chance or personal appetite.
We have got us in the head that is only worth that we have episodes epic or characteristic of our life. Thus, as if it were the only thing that matters, we dedicate ourselves to wait for better times come to live intensely and not realize that life is precisely what is happening.

What benefits does it remember?

To remember is a privilege, as it means that we have lived and that nothing is affecting our brains. However, the benefits of our memories go beyond the simple:

• Indulge in memories helps calm mood.
• Remember raises our self esteem.
• Remembering helps us to strengthen our interpersonal relationships.
• Remember moments, ideas and emotions helps keep our mind.

I.e., the ability to recall is a source of balance and psychological welfare. Return to feel intense and vividly is a way of taking care of our emotional well-being.
Obviously, our memories are not always beautiful and happy, they frequently sadden us. Knowing this, we should try squeezing our life to get flood our minds with positive memories. The bad moments come alone, so you have to go out to look for the good.

We tend a bridge between the past and the present

As we have said, to remember it is necessary to have lived previously. This will allow us to perceive the continuity of our I and our inner world. Need the yesterday and today they merge into one to realize that share hundreds of qualities with the person who we are and who we were.
Get this will help us to realize that every moment becomes past in an instant, since it is a time that we will never return to live.

It is possible that on more than one occasion you've tortured longing for an earlier time in which accompanied you a significant person who is no longer on your side. They are the kind of memories that you damaged, because they stop you from filling your present of new and positive feelings.
Precisely, these recurring memories are those who must put aside: If you screwed up, you do not insist in return, as you no favors and is all meaningless to do so.

Practice the Carpe Diem, living the moment

Life is a play that does not allow trials. Why, sings, laughs, dances, cries and live intensely every moment of your life until the curtain lower and the work ends without applause.

Charles Chaplin

Relax and it makes mistakes, don't try to be perfect. You take things less seriously. It is most at risk, it travels more. Climbing mountains, nothing rivers. Go to places where they've never gone. Live more, worry less.
There are moments that change you life and that leave you speechless, moments that make you close your eyes, sigh and wanting to live. But there are also times our world it crumbles and the circumstances we drown.

Certainly it is in these moments that we needed an oxygen pump of this parallel world that is in our hands to create. Not charging your life with a survival kit and used to dye the largest possible intensity every day that you live. Dive and snorkel. Work you and create new habits that you fill with vitality.

The only way to have beautiful memories is to have lived

You can go to your memories to soothe your bad mood, to relax, to smile and to give you reasons to continue creating other so many beautiful memories. Open your photo album and rereads old letters, is the place that corresponds to your memories and not let that get lost in oblivion, because they are there to make you happy.
Meanwhile, don't forget that the only way to generate precious memories is living the now with the teachings of the past. This is the only path that leads you to continue to maintain the illusion for life and for the day to day, because thus we dismiss the idea that only the large and well-known exploits are worthwhile. Are unsung heroes of our life.
