Walk through the vestibule: Sounds and sights as benchmarks

 

Simeon Schatz shoots a photo which becomes the doorway to new world of copywriting and editingYou have, I'm sure, had the experience at one time in your life of forgetting what you were doing as soon as you entered another room. Do doorways actually serve as event boundaries or is one's ability to remember linked to the environment in which a decision was created?

True, research has shown that environmental factors affect memory and that information learned in one environment is retrieved better when the retrieval occurs in the same context. The act of passing through a doorway, however, serves as a way the mind files away memories.

Walk through the vesibule into your new home and feel yourself enter into a new world full of possibilities—new thoughts, sounds, visions. 

Your life is interpretted by a cacophony of sounds, sights and feelings, whether in the forefront or background of your days. From city streets to your own old house. As time passes, you get used to it all, and allow chaos to blend into your life. By tuning out that which takes over your senses of distraction, you keep the melodious qualities that bring music to your ears.

As difficult as it might be to get out of an old rut, it is possible to find a new home that brings your dreams to life, so that you are left with peace and nothing short of a smile.  

Scary or exhilarating, house-hunting can be the catalyst to a major change in your life, complete with new sounds and textures. 

Envison your new dream in your head, one house at a time as you walk through each vestibule—transition room—of potential new homes. Decide for yourself if the research published recently in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology that walking through doorways can cause forgetting is correct for you or not.

Happy house-hunting…
