“Oh, I forgot!”—Did you really? Most of the time, when we say we forgot something, it’s not that our memory failed us. It’s that we didn’t prioritize that thought among the hundreds of others competing for our attention. The truth is, our brains are constantly filtering what feels urgent, important, or relevant in the moment. When something slips through, it’s usually because it didn’t make the cut—not because it vanished from our minds. Instead of saying “I forgot,” try: ✔️ “It wasn’t top of mind.” ✔️ “I didn’t prioritize it.” ✔️ “I got caught up with other things.” This shift in language is powerful. It keeps us accountable and reminds us that we have more control over our focus than we think. What’s something you’ve recently “forgotten” that was really just deprioritized? #Mentalhealth #CBCMike #Rationalthinking
