Forgetfulness

[The White Belt]

What are a some effective strategies to overcome forgetfulness? 

I can endeavour to do something, like for example practice mindfulness at work, and after a couple of weeks or so, just sort of remember that I made that intention and stopped following it somewhere along the line.

Also, does forgetfulness count as an ego backlash? If you think yes, please explain why you think so.

Thanks!

you can use an alarm clock that rings every x minutes to remind you to check if you slipped out of mindfulness.

Not necessarily. Only if 'I'-'my'-'mine' makes itself felt as if being true.

With diligent practice this will improve. I know it seems like an impossible mission right now, but as you advance in the mindfulness practice, you start to notice very clearly that you go through some quantum-leap like improvements. 

It will get easier. I will be eventually effortless. 

Good luck!

Forgetfulness is part of the process. Mukti talks about it, but she has a more loving approach to it. For me "ego backlash" sounds like a harsh judgment. 

As you step out of your previous paradigm your mind becomes disoriented, it doesn't know anymore what is important, what to keep in mind, so of course it forgets things. Just use some reminders, don't worry about it too much.

follow the path until forgetfulness isn't a point anymore. 

this problem will solve itself. you may trust

We forget because we don't stay in the rabbit hole. Conquer the rabbit hole and all the memories of your life are there and even all existance.

Yeah I suffer from that too. I forget concepts all the time
