The methods we use to change our self image is outside scope of this article, but taking above actions is first step.

If you are prepared to go through this process of examining what you ‘know’ about yourself, and deciding to reject what you ‘know’ and replace it with a more empowering ‘fact’, when you see a quality in someone else that you admire, why not do it more often?

Rather than merely listening to messages, questions and statements that flow past you every day, why not think? Ask yourself what could this mean to me, how could I apply this idea in my life. Forget questions you have asked in past like ‘Is this right?’, or ‘Is this wrong?’ and ask instead ‘Could accepting this idea improve my life in any way?’

Tell yourself why you want to remember something, and how you will remember it. To remember a person, think about how that person will be important to you in future, where you'll see them next, and anything you notice about them. Clearly seeing importance of remembering will help a lot, and additional associations (where you expect to see person next, for example) will set memory more firmly in your brain.

Have you ever forgotten where you set down your car keys? You have probably tried retracing your steps, or at least doing it in your imagination. This works fairly well, but do you ever create scenario beforehand, so you won't forget? Try it. When you set down keys on chair, see yourself walking in and setting keys on chair. You'll remember where they are if you do this.

Create Good Memory Habits

Do you know what biggest problem with memory techniques is? Remembering to use them. No joke. Many popular methods work, but if you don't have habit of using them, you'll forget to when you need them most. So if you take time to learn a technique, make a conscious effort to use it until it becomes automatic.
