Are you talking to yourself? There is absolutely nothing wrong with this, on the contrary, such a conversation can have a very beneficial effect on your health.
Scientists have discovered a number of beneficial effects of our personal monologues.
It relieves loneliness
Personal monologues are said to help reduce loneliness. Filling a quiet place with your own voice can have a comforting effect on your well-being and personal health. And what to pay attention to? Once you start debating with yourself, i.e. engaging in imaginary "dialogues", this may be the first alarm sign.
It helps the child to learn
If you have small children, your personal monologues can help them learn the language faster. Because they absorb information from all sides like little mushrooms and often repeat what they hear, children pick up your inflection, syntax and even vocabulary. This makes your monologue a learning experience for them. This is why it is important to watch your language, so refrain from inappropriate words and dark humor.
It keeps you organized
"Fine. Today we will go to the vet, to the store and to visit the grandmother. Veterinarian, grocery store, grandma..." If you discuss the agenda with yourself, this can greatly help you remember better and stay organized. Namely, the mind can process a single task at a time, and our personal monologues can help it sort through the daily mess and prioritize it.
It helps to find items faster
A study conducted by researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Pennsylvania found that talking to yourself helps you find objects faster. People who said the item they were looking for during their search increased their ability to find it faster compared to those who did not repeat the word.
It reduces stress
The next time you're stressed about something, talk to yourself. This is an effective way to manage stress and anxiety, as it helps alleviate the pressures in life. The sound of your voice acts as an affirmative behavior that confirms that something is indeed doable. As a result, you are less likely to keep your thoughts to yourself and are more able to express concerns.
