What is Living Memorably?
Living Memorably is the joy of life that occurs when our present experience occupies our complete mental and physical awareness. When our mind and body come together, we live each memory wholly as we create it, constantly experiencing the moment our brightest memories are born.
When we live in this space, not only are we experiencing our best quality of life, but all aspects of our memory are functioning at their highest levels, and our ability to create and recall memories is optimized.
The suggestions to follow encourage your best memory by offering ways to infuse this experience into your daily life. Infuse your life with the activities that build your strongest memory, and that create the moments you'll want to remember!
Connect
With friends, with family, with strangers... Even when physical connection is not an option, pick up the phone and create an experience with someone! Don't forget to dish out compliments as often as possible, making others feel good is a mood booster and creates positive memories for all. Who can you connect with today?
Dance. Move. Play.
Never pass up a chance to dance, try a new game, or infuse your life with fun. What is your favorite way to "play?"

A regular gratitude practice has been shown to improve positive emotion, which leads to a better memory. What are a few things you are grateful for today?
Let the Music Play.
Music is a powerful tool for creating and recalling memories, along with evoking emotion. What are your favorite songs?

Smell is closely tied to memory, and certain scents (including sage and rosemary) boost our brain...and bring our attention to the here and now. Are there scents that take you back to moments in your life? What are they?
