Self-
talk helps us all
Talking
to
yourself
may
seem
a
little
shameful.If
you've
ever
been
overheard
criticizing yourself for a foolish mistake or practicing a speech
?/p>
you'll know the social
problems it can cause.

Talking to ourselves
?/p>
whether out loud or silently in our
heads
?/p>
is valuable.Far from being a sign of madness
?/p>
self
talk allows us to plan what
we are going to do
?/p>
manage our activities and control our emotions.
Psychologists call self-
talk the private speech
?/p>
language that is spoken out loud
but
directed
at
yourself.We
do
a
lot
of
it
when
we
are
young.As
children
?/p>
we
use
private speeches to control our actions in the same way that we use public speeches to
control the behavior of others
?/p>

Psychological
experiments
have
shown
that
this
so
called
inner
speech
can
improve
our
performance
in
tasks
like
telling
what
other
people
are
thinking.One
recent study suggests that self
talk is the most effective when we talk to ourselves in
the second person
?/p>
as “you?nbsp;rather than “I?/p>
?/p>
We
keep
the
private
speech
we
use
as
children
inside
?/p>
but
we
never
truly
put
away the out loud version.

You're sure to see an athlete shouting at himself or
herself.

Hearing different points of view means our thoughts can end up in different
places
?/p>
leading to a solution to a problem
?/p>
just like a regular dialogue
?/p>
and might turn
out to be one of the keys to human creativity.
Both
kinds
of
self
talk
?/p>
silent
and
out
loud
?/p>
seem
to
bring
many
different
benefits to our thinking.
