How to control the powers of forgetting and remembering.

Forgetting is such a strong power that can bring back to life the most nasty or painful moments back to life. On the other hand, it can bring back memories of sweet times or occasions to cause a broad smile on your face.
The power of forgetting is a double edged sword and should be fully mastered. Being capable of quickly forgetting some bitter or painful things and being capable of remembering the sweet treasurable moments as well.

Think of the sudden death of a friend, spouse, parent, etc. It''s such a hard, if not impossible task to forget such an occurrence. But, what do you do to forget and remember?
Here''s some golden tips to guide you out. Let''s start with ''how to forget bad times, days, etc.

1. Do not hold bitter feelings against anyone, anything or any other thing.
Bitterness can sustain remembrance, which will help you remember bad things of the past.
Think of someone who brutally murdered your parent. How easy is it to forgive them and forget about it? Difficult, ha? Yeah! The problem is not about forgiving, but on bitterness. Being bitter about someone because they did something bad. Control the internally emanated bitterness and you be able to help your mind forget bitter the moments.

take some time to forgive the wrong doer and be sincere. You''ll be able to forget
''I forgive you'' is easy to say, but very hard to say and mean. You can lie to everyone, but absolutely not to your self. Before you utter the words, seek forgiveness deep inside your heard and mind and you''ll find it. You''ll only forget something/someone if, you forgave them from deep within your heart and mind.

do not associate any bad occurrence with any other in the past.
You should forgive

70x7 times per day, to one person. That''s more than you can in 24 hours.
Forgetting is brought about by complete forgiveness and not linking the ''wrong to any other'' let every wrong done to you be independent and you forget very easily.

But, we really need to remember some special moments, dates, occasions, etc, don''t we?

In order to remember, you need to begin with the easiest step.

Diet and nutrition
Memory is physically enhanced by the brain activity. Proteinous foods like fish and beans help boost memory. This way you''ll be capable of controlling what you forget and what you don''t.

Rest and relax
Some 6 or more hours sleep can be of grave importance. The brain will get the time to forget or remember what it''s supposed to.

Apply some technology
Have some snaps, some good items, eg curios, etc about that special moments. I''ve seen some people treasure the clothes they worn during their first dates, campings, etc.

To remember the best/good part of your life, do the complete opposite of what to do to forget, as I''ve indicated above.

In conclusion, do not go to places or buy things that enable you to remember someone or something if you want to forget them.
This way you will control the power of forgetting.
Before I forget, students, in order to remember what you learn, read, re-read and re-read. This creates a strong imprint of what you are learning.
Picture this: why are frequently used paths/or pavements dry with no grass on it? Because, the more the times someone step on it, it''s minorly damaged. The continuous trodding and/or trampling leads to alot of destructions.
