I remember hearing a theory that consciousness is the PR agent of the body. It’s job is to rehearse and craft stories to explain the bodies actions so that it can maintain social standing. It resonated with me because I feel like my brain is constantly trying to explain what I am doing in story form. For interesting events it usually can’t help but iterate around the event until it has created a little entertaining/impressive/endearing anecdote for me to use later. I don’t have solid advice for the OP but it would be interesting if retelling events wasn’t something your brain prioritized. I seem to do it less as I get older.
