Talking to yourself during everyday activities may seem unusual, but did you know that it has several important benefits?
According to a study, verbalizing thoughts activates multiple regions of the brain, increasing clarity and problem-solving skills.
Talking to yourself out loud helps maintain memory, organize information, strengthen decision-making, and prioritize tasks.
Furthermore, self-talk can also improve emotional regulation, reducing anxiety and stress by distancing yourself from negative emotions.
Experts also say that talking to yourself gives you a more rational perspective that helps you deal with challenges with better focus. Self-talk is a practice that contributes to better cognitive and emotional well-being.
Talking to yourself out loud significantly improves cognitive abilities, and the most obvious benefit is on problem-solving.
Gary Lupian, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, says that in a study conducted in this regard, people who were asked to search for objects out loud in a set of images found these objects faster than others.
