You Walked Into a Room and Forgot Why You Went In There - AGAIN!

from And That's Okay! Lisa Rena Scott · host Lisa Rena Scott

You ever walk into a room with full confidence, like you’re on a mission — and then just… stop?  You’re standing there, looking around, trying to figure out what in the world you came in for. You glance at the counter, maybe the floor, like the answer’s going to magically appear somewhere between the lamp and the laundry basket.And then it hits you… you have absolutely no idea why you’re there.You do that little laugh — that “oh, come on” laugh — and try retracing your steps like that’s going to help. You walk back down the hall and hope maybe your memory is waiting for you in the kitchen.And that’s okay.ACTION STEPS: 1️⃣ Take a tiny pause between tasks.Stop for just 10 seconds before switching activities.Breathe, stretch, or look out the window.This short pause tells your brain, “We’re done with that, now we’re moving on.”It resets your nervous system, lowers stress hormones, and boosts focus.2️⃣ Say what you’re doing out loud.Example: “I’m going to the bedroom to grab my phone charger.”Speaking intentions helps lock the thought into your short-term memory.Laughing at yourself while doing it releases feel-good hormones (dopamine and serotonin) that improve focus and recall.3️⃣ Give your mind some quiet.Spend 15 minutes each day without background noise.No music, no TV, no podcast — just silence while you drive, fold laundry, or walk.This allows your brain to “file” information, process thoughts, and calm the nervous system for better clarity.4️⃣ Do a mental unload before bed.Write down lingering thoughts, to-dos, or worries before sleeping.Transferring them from your mind to paper signals safety to your brain — it can rest.Helps you fall asleep faster, reach deeper rest, and wake up clearer and less foggy.Order your copy of And That's Okay! book Follow along over on InstagramHang out with us on Facebook
