First and foremost, get this into your brain! Not everyone can remember the name of the person they meet for the first time! If you are facing this problem, the person who is meeting you also might be! Very few people remember every name! I can remember every phone number but never the name of the person! So not a big deal! Get this into your mind as this tension of embarrassment itself helps in depleting your mental power and makes you forget things more!
And also dont be pessimistic! Coz when you believe you will fail, you will definitely fail! It is called self fulfilling prophecy!
Now onto your problem, here is a trick! Does not work always but definitely helps you a lot! When you meet a person, they say their name, repeat it! For eg: When you said "Hi my name is Dona!" I repeated by saying "Hi Dona Di!" This helps a lot! And repeat it as much as possible! Sometimes i address LD or PD or you by full forms of the nicknames i gave so that I dont forget the names!😉
Next trick: Associate the name with pic! For eg: Focus on their face and imagine a water mark of their name on their pic! Or Imagine stamping their name on the pic!
Another trick: Associate their name with something you are familiar with! For eg: In Goa, there is a place called Dona Paula which I love! So I associated your name with the pic of that place in my mind. So when i see Golden Moon my mind flashes to Dona Paula dock statue of Goa! And I remember your name! Get it! Try these three tricks and see the improvement!
Your pic problem's trick in next post!😉
