Dali Says=The Persistence of Memory, today , in this FICTIONAL mini Mnemonic-Dali is tying this into a way of a heart brain coherence Mnemonic utilizing memory palaces with attempted suggested visual images/imagery and establishing a PAO system accordingly.

This is GB stabbing at a wildly creative and ambitious stretch, blending surrealist art, neuroscience, memory techniques, and personal organization! Let's see if GB can make some sense of this fascinating connection.

The Persistence of Memory & Brain Reward/Habits:

Salvador Dali's "The Persistence of Memory" with its melting clocks evokes themes of:

  • Time Distortion: The fluid, distorted clocks challenge our linear perception of time. This can be metaphorically linked to how our perception of time and effort changes as habits become ingrained and feel less burdensome (the "melting" away of the perceived difficulty).
  • Subconscious and Dreams: Dali's surreal landscapes often represent the subconscious mind. Building strong habits can become almost subconscious, requiring less conscious effort over time, like a well-rehearsed dream.
  • Persistence Despite Change: The clocks continue to exist in their melted state, suggesting a form of persistence despite a radical change in form. This can symbolize the persistence of good habits even when faced with challenges or changes in routine.
  • Memory and Decay: The melting could also symbolize the fading of memories or the need to actively engage with and reinforce them, just as we need to reinforce good habits.

Heart-Brain Coherence Mnemonic:

Heart-brain coherence refers to the physiological state where the heart's rhythm and the brain's electrical activity become synchronized. This state is often associated with feelings of calm, focus, and emotional balance.

GB continues to try to weave this into a mnemonic by associating elements of "The Persistence of Memory" with the concept of heart-brain coherence as a desirable state achieved through consistent good habits:

  • Melting Clocks: Imagine the rigid, stressful aspects of your old, less healthy routines melting away, replaced by a smoother, more coherent flow.
  • Ants: The ants swarming on one of the clocks could represent the persistent, almost automatic nature of well-established good habits working in the background, contributing to your overall well-being and coherence.
  • The Landscape: The serene yet strange landscape could symbolize the inner peace and focused mental state that heart-brain coherence and positive habits can foster.

GB is trying to populate a memory palace with imagery linking "The Persistence of Memory Salvador Dali-," heart-brain coherence, and your good habits:

  1. Location 1 (Entrance): You see a giant, melting clock draped over the entrance. As it melts, it doesn't disappear but transforms into a smooth, gently pulsating heart, radiating a calm blue light (representing coherence). This symbolizes the "melting" away of old resistance to habits, replaced by a state of ease.

  2. Location 2 (Familiar Object):

  3. Location 3 (Distinct Feature):

  4. Location 4 AnotherMystery Object?:

Establishing a PAO (Person-Action-Object) System:

  • Person: Salvador Dali (representing the surreal connection and memory itself)
  • Action: Painting (representing the active creation and reinforcement of good habits)
  • Object: A perfectly synchronized metronome (representing heart-brain coherence)
  • Location 1 (Melting Clock Heart): Salvador Dali (Person)

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
