About a year ago I started noticing that I was forgetting things more than usual. I would ask the same question to the same person and he/she would have to retell the same story all the while I’m thinking, “Uh, she HAD told me this before!” I even started reading a book and 30 pages in I realized that I had already read the book!
Then, the forgetfulness started kicking into full gear when I started to get really unhappy at my job. There was absolutely no interest on my behalf to stay current at my job. I didn’t feel challenged because I didn’t want to be challenged. I would come home from work, exercise, cook, have dinner, watch some TV, talk with my husband for a while, shower and go to bed only to do the same thing again the very next day. My mind just didn’t want to function by the time I got home. I was uninspired, tired and feeling blah. It was a series of articles, TV segments and conversations that enabled me to identify the problem which later brought me to the following conclusion; I wasn’t challenging my mind enough and consequently I was loosing it.
