Quote from Episode:

"Don't start affirming the fact that you're forgetful. Because I promise you, the minute you start affirming that, it's gonna be a snowball down the hill."

Show Notes:

In this DIVOted Talks episode, Nicholas explores the all-too-familiar experience of walking into a room and forgetting why — and what Ayurveda has to say about it. Using humor, personal stories, and doshic wisdom, he covers:

• Why blanking out on thoughts, names, or intentions is often tied to vāta vitiation — the mobile, shifting energy of space and air

• How life stages (kapha → pitta → vāta) influence memory and mental clarity in different decades of life

• The “storehouse effect” — why accumulated life experiences can sometimes confuse mental connections, especially with repetitive work or teaching

• Why affirming “I’m forgetful” accelerates decline — and how mindset impacts memory care long-term

• How poor sleep quality and lack of REM disrupt the brain’s ability to process, digest, and organize thoughts and emotions

• The importance of dinacharyā (daily rhythm) and seasonal or annual cycles to create mental “mile markers” for easier recall

• How unusual weather patterns can disrupt internal seasonal cues and confuse memory timelines

• Why busyness, exhaustion, and lack of segmentation — not always disease — may be behind your forgetfulness

• A gentle reminder that there’s probably nothing “wrong” with you… despite a marketplace built on convincing you otherwise

Nicholas leaves listeners with a call to review their rhythms, restore segmentation, and approach mental gaps with curiosity rather than self-doubt.
