If you enjoy seeing people or friends talking to themselves in their room, bathroom, or at their office desk, that doesn't mean your friend is crazy or has a mental breakdown. Maybe your friend is studying the presentation or is motivating himself.
Neither can you. Suddenly speaking to yourself doesn't mean you are crazy. Unless you talk to yourself with a tree in a crazy man's clothes …
A study conducted at the University of Michigan found that people who sometimes talk to themselves ahead of important presentations or meetings usually perform better and experience less self-doubt or anxiety.
As reported UniverseofMemory.com, Ethan Kross, professor of psychology and director of the Laboratory for Self-Control and Emotion at the University of Michigan, says when people think of themselves as other people, these thoughts will make them judge themselves objectively, which is helpful input.
In another study, psychologists Gary Lupyan of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Daniel Swingley of the University of Pennsylvania conducted several experiments to find out whether talking to yourself will help you find your lost item.
In short, they cannot deny that talking helps the process of finding lost items, especially when there is a strong connection between name and visual target. In addition, talking to yourself can stimulate your memory or memory.
Think about it, when you speak loudly, you stimulate more of the senses than when you speak softly. You hear a voice. Whether you realize it or not, your body feels sound as your mind sends it through your bones. In fact, the conduction of the bones is one of the reasons why our voices sound different if we hear a recording of our own voice,
Talking to yourself can improve your memory or memory. That's one of the most important benefits of talking to yourself. However, as revealed by Linda Sapadin, an American psychologist based on the results of Gary and Daniel's research, other benefits of speaking for yourself include:
- Channels emotions. When you are upset or angry, such as on a traffic jam for example, then you talk or scream to yourself, unconsciously, you will gradually calm down on your own. Yes, that's the benefit, it makes emotions channeled.
- So focus more. When someone writes while reading what is written, it will slowly make the brain more focused on one thing. That is, this also increases the brain's ability to remember.
- Get motivated. Just as Gary and Daniel explained, when you are preparing for something, such as a presentation for example, and then you talk to yourself, it can increase your motivation and eliminate the anxiety that had previously eaten away at you.
- Makes us able to manage schedules. What is in our minds sometimes is so much that we think and talk to ourselves: after this we have to do what, do what, and after that do what, and so on. By talking to yourself, you will slowly begin to learn to schedule yourself and organize what you have to do.
- Able to analyze problems on their own. Sometimes when you have a problem, you usually confide in a friend or partner. However, by talking to yourself, you will actually be better able to analyze your own problem situation. You will also speak in your own inner voice and find out what it is you really want.
So, take it easy… When you talk to yourself, you will actually feel a lot of benefits for yourself and maybe it will make you feel better. No need to be afraid of being thought crazy, huh.
