How are you enjoying the good old days?

I understand that my question might seem a little strange because it’s referring to present days as days that have already passed. But if you think about it for a moment, you’ll quickly realize that today and every day in the future have the potential to fall into the category of the good old days.

To make today and future days into good old days and ones that you want to look back upon and reminisce about fondly, you must start with today.

Many memories of the good old days fall into the category of serendipitous events. Unplanned and impromptu decisions that led to fond memories cherished for a lifetime.

But what if there was a more conscious way to create the good old days?

Well, there is. However, it requires you to play a more active role today.

If you have the desire to make today and days in the future fall into the category of the good old days, the first thing you must do is slow down. Schedules crammed with activities and living life as if on autopilot leave little time to create lasting memories because days blend and become a blur. Slowing down allows you to appreciate moments that might otherwise slip by and helps you make space for memorable events to occur.

While manufacturing memories might not sound appealing to you, it’s one way to ensure that at least a handful of your recollections of the good old days were because you paid attention to the time you had.

So, set out today and the days going forward with the intention to contribute to your good old days consciously. Create space in your life for events that you can look back upon fondly and say with a smile, remember when.
