The expression, "If you don't use it you'll lose it" has been told to me a lot.
I thought it meant using our body and muscles.
But after several years of not doing a "rotation" cube I have forgotten the moves.
In fact, I had trouble even understanding a instruction video.
Then after watching the video over three times it started to come together to remember.
When I did the cube I even made my own instructions on how to do each move.
I couldn't even understand my own instructions.
This experience made me have more empathy, in a new way, for people having memory loss.
And made me more thankful to still be able to do something I enjoy very much.
I realize there is a lot more to the expression than I ever thought.
It gave an awareness to not take for granted whatever we've got.
