"In a few short weeks, I've learned I can remember the names of people through what I term creative visualization"

Quick summary

Lauren struggled to remember names of people, places, and things. Through creative visualization techniques, she now confidently introduces herself to neighbors and recalls their names weeks later, transforming memory challenges into a joyful journey.

I took this program primarily to remember names of people but had trouble remembering the names of anything, of cities, of movies, old friends. I couldn't remember to the names of anything. In a few short weeks, I've learned I can remember the names of people through what I term creative visualization. I am introducing myself to neighbors on walks, chatting up people as I meet them, and remembering their names. I met Deborah, and thought of her de-bra-ing (a women's lib thing 50 years ago); I met Maureen and imagined her mooring at a dock with her two dogs. I met John and (well...). And I remember them after, weeks after! I've also discovered I can apply this to many other things: short lists, long lists, movies, and that it is silly and fun. Been a joyful journey, and I expect to continue to work on my abilities. This is just the beginning...
