Getting caught talking to ourselves is pretty embarrassing and often makes us seem like we're hallucinating. It is clear that this is because we need communication with others. However, since many of us talk to ourselves, could this ultimately have a positive impact on our psychology?
In fact, we often talk to ourselves, silently. This internal conversation keeps our body and mind in shape, helps us organize our thoughts, regulate our emotions, and plan our next actions. In other words to control ourselves.
Brain Functioning More Efficiently
Have you ever walked the supermarket aisles looking for an item, whispering its name all the while? A study published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology showed that people who repeated the name of an item they were looking for were able to find it much faster than those who wandered silently through the store.
The theory here is that repetition of words triggers the recall of familiar objects, making them more "tangible" and more likely to be discerned by the eye of the person looking for them.
Achieving goals and organizing thoughts
Creating a to-do list is very effective for planning our day, just like planning in the office. But it's hard enough to remember or read them all the time, so a little internal memory can help. Consider this: You have an important meeting at the office. Before you arrive talk to yourself, organize your data, refresh your knowledge and you will see how you will find an effective solution faster. Beyond that, psychologist Linda Sapadin reports that self-talk helps us focus better, control our emotions, and record our every reaction.
Stress Reduction
Since self-talk helps us plan our tasks better, stress reduction will follow. Whether you're talking to yourself calmly or rehearsing what you need to say, you'll find that you'll be able to act more prepared and calm. In addition, telling and repeating to yourself that everything will be okay will make you believe and eventually make it happen.
Finding Motivation
Self-talk helps to boost our self-confidence and find motivation. Think about how many times you have faced difficult situations by telling yourself that you can do it. A study showed that female basketball players who talked to themselves positively and with empowering words performed better and more accurately in the game.
Increased self-confidence and self-awareness
According to a University of Lethbridge study, those who learn to engage in positive self-talk every day can change their perspectives, attitudes and reactions. (A2 Televizion)
