In today's episode, we are looking at how we remember certain experiences, and WHY we forget certain parts of an experience and yet lay huge emphasis on others.
Once we've looked at the neurological / psychological biases we all have - you are not alone!! - I share my top tips and methods for changing the way we think about our past experiences, and how we might go into new experiences in a more positive frame of mind.
