(From week 7)
“Homework for life” by Matthew Dickens from his TedxBerkshires talk enlightened me when we spoke about storytelling but writing down our stories everyday for at least five minutes. If we are to write down our stories from our day to day, the imprint of those stories will stay with us and will reveal the that we are important, he shares. I find this intriguing because sometimes we live out our days unconsciously, and at times as for myself I can forget what has happened during a certain day, like just the day before. Imagine, we have 24 hours in a day, and let’s say we sleep for approximately eight hours, that makes sixteen hours of a day lived. If we have that many hours in a day, there must be at least one highlight of the day to note down and that would bring forth a memory into light and stored. I enjoyed watching this video and a practice that I would like to think about trying, at least for a month and see where it takes me on my journey. Maybe this practice can reveal more of myself that I have not taken notice of. Thank you Matthew for sharing.
