Your brain saves the insults and deletes the compliments. Screenshot the kind stuff and back it up yourself.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

Memory holds on to whatever looked like a threat, so a criticism from March is available instantly while the good things dissolve inside a day. That is not a personal defect. It is the same machinery in everybody. It does mean the internal record you keep consulting is badly skewed, and you are making decisions out of it.

Start a folder this week. Screenshots, a message that landed, a note somebody wrote on a paper, one line a coach said once. Read it on the days the other file is loud, because the kind stuff needs external storage and the rest never has.
