Glad to see you're still around! You were one of my favorite channels to watch during my teenage years so long ago. I took a little micro dose and sporatically remembered your videos and am now in the process of rewatching everything haha. Much love, never stop posting!

Welcome back my mushroomy brother :D thank you for being here, I hope you find some value in this new style of sharing insights! sending love 💚

I'm in awe of people who can remember my name even if we haven't seen each other for 5 or 10 years. Bumped into a past colleague who I couldn't remember at all from 30 years ago but she remembered me. The one name I will never forget is Ben Brown. Since leaving London two months ago and returning to the mountainside of South Wales I've far more happier. Within 2 minutes from my house I can be on the mountainside and in the forest and within 10 minutes I can be stood by a waterfall. If you ever feel like visiting Ben, you are most welcomed.

More workshops please! Will the replays be available for purchase?

In meeting so many new people at work I remove a lot of the social anxiety by telling each and every person up front - "What was your name again? It'll take me a couple of times to get it but I will. I'm more of an intuitive/planning type person than a sensory/remembering person, but I'll get it don't worry!"

Love that! Being authentic eliminates the tension of trying to 'get it right' all the time, thanks for sharing :)

Just the other day I told a coworker whose name I tentatively remembered that “I wasn’t good with names,” which really was a way of saying “I hope you didn’t take offense to the fact that I wasn’t sure if I got your name right.” Still working on getting to the point where I truly don’t care what others think of me versus just telling myself “I don’t care”.

@@AllPathsLeadToWater I try to think of it more as "I don't mind, think what you like". I always think of the idea of surrendering the need to be right, or for the truth to be seen (when interacting with people) if they can't see it or see who I'm really showing up as, that's their issue. So I just tell them how my mind works and why I might not remember their name, if they think that's weird, they're not for me

I actually forgot to mention in the video that I now intentionally say to myself 'I'm getting better at names' and have compassion as I improve this skill, that's the new program that doesn't cause a contracted anxious state, and gives me a chance at actually recalling the name :)

It's not me bragging but I had and have good memory for names. In some cases even last names. If I meet a new person I try to save that name and face if we ever meet again (for example a co-worker or a friendly shop assistant) even people that were a class above me or below me cuz I made some little friends from different classes when I was in elementary school or in middle school. I have good memory in general :D

I remember an exercise in the workbook called 30 Days to Reduce Anxiety by Harper Daniels in which you can use a different name in public, essentially realizing you are not your image of yourself or your thoughts. We're all connected.
