Journaling - The Write Stuff For You?

I know for me, I take so much of my body movements for granted. And when I do that I tend to forget that I also have a responsibility to be careful. So sometimes all of the sudden, we get pulled up short when our body or mind says, "hey don't forget me!" Everyday when I do routine movements setting up for dialysis, I have to remind myself to be present in the moment and not accidentally skip something. That has happened! And then all of the sudden my mind is going, "didn't you forget to do this or that?" And I have to come back directly to where I am at physically and mentally, to not cause any delays or problems. Being present takes a lot of work! Yep, I bet there's many who can relate to that.

@gingerw,
Great example of the importance of mindfulness, especially as we encounter health problems that affect us both physically as well as cognitively. Health issues as well as medications can result in forgetfulness, and this tends to compound our ability to function well.
