Your memory can conjure up scenes of happy times from the past. But you can also feel frustrated, annoyed and worried when your memory fails you. There you are in the middle of a conversation and suddenly you can’t remember what you were going to say. How frustrating is that? Not so bad if you are with friends, you can all laugh about it – after all it happens to all of us at times! But at work or with people you’ve only just met it can be extremely embarrassing. As you get older, forgetting things becomes worrying too, when poor memory is known to be the main symptom of mental deterioration in older people. So what to do?  Imagine your memory is like a vast wardrobe full of information but, unlike a computer, your memories are often stored in a very disorganised way. Sometimes what you want to remember is tucked away in a corner and takes a while to find. A good strategy, when you can’t remember something, is simply to keep calm and allow your brain time to work its magic. The more stressed you become the less likely you will remember. Rescue Remedy can help you keep calm when you find yourself forgetting. Bach Flower Remedies like Mimulus and Impatiens can help you cope when you feel worried and frustrated.
