The Benefits of Talking to Yourself

By Sara Butler

Do you talk to yourself out loud? It turns out that a lot of people do, especially during times of high stress. Now science is confirming that talking to yourself doesn’t mean you’ve got a few screws loose. It’s actually a habit that is good for your mental health. Here are a few of the health benefits of talking to yourself!

It Helps You Focus

Does your mind tend to wander when you’re supposed to be working? Try talking to yourself! Self-talk when trying to accomplish tasks at work can actually help you to focus and bring structure to your thoughts.

In a recent study, people had to read written instructions. One group was instructed to read them aloud while another group had to read them silently. The group that read them aloud found they had better concentration and performed the task better than the other group. So, the next time you’re struggling to get things done, try speaking out loud!

It’s Good for Goals

When you talk to yourself about a specific goal you want to reach, saying it out loud can actually increase the odds of your success. It’s kind of like entering into a contract with yourself and just the mere act of saying your goals aloud makes them feel more tangible and concrete.

It Prepares You for Stress

If you have an important presentation or interview coming up, chatting yourself up before will help you better prepare for what lies ahead. Remember, the better prepared you feel, the more confident you’ll be and the less anxious you’ll feel too!

It’s Help Add Clarity

Challenges and big decisions are a part of life. Talking yourself through these things – out loud – can have an impact! In fact, it can help you to clarify your thoughts on a situation or organize your thoughts when you’re feeling confused about what lies ahead.

It can also help you to not feel panicked. Talking to yourself slows down your thinking process, so if you have a tendency to go into mental overdrive when faced with a challenge, then slowing down your inner monologue is important. Talking out loud has proven to lead to better decisions and a better outcome. It’s time you had that tough conversation with yourself!

So, if you want to be successful and less stressed, then you have no choice but to talk to yourself!
