Å snakke meg seg selv øker hukommelsen og intelligens👍

Talking to yourself can literally sharpen your brain’s performance.

Many people assume self talk is a bad habit. Neuroscience says the opposite. Research shows that speaking thoughts out loud helps your brain process information faster, stay focused longer, and remember details more clearly.

When you talk to yourself, you activate multiple brain systems at once. Language areas help organize thoughts. Attention networks lock onto the task. Memory systems reinforce what matters. Instead of thoughts floating loosely in your head, they become structured and easier to manage. This is why athletes, surgeons, and pilots often use verbal cues during complex tasks.

Studies in cognitive psychology show that self talk improves problem solving speed and accuracy, especially during challenging or unfamiliar situations. Saying steps out loud helps your brain reduce mental clutter. It also strengthens working memory, the system that holds information while you use it.
Your brain treats spoken words differently than silent thoughts. Hearing your own voice creates an extra signal that boosts clarity and control. That is why talking through a plan can suddenly make confusion disappear. It turns thinking into action.

This habit also supports emotional regulation. When you name what you feel, your brain shifts activity toward areas linked to calm decision making. Instead of reacting automatically, you respond with intention.

So when you whisper reminders, coach yourself through stress, or narrate a task, you are not losing control. You are giving your brain a performance upgrade. Self talk is not a flaw. It is a built in tool your brain uses to work smarter.

Det var først når jeg begynte å lytte på den stemmen inne i meg som ville meg godt at alt begynte å organisere seg slik jeg fortjener å ha det i livet mitt, dersom ingen endringer gjøres vil ingen endringer skje❣️

Mantra: jeg er ikke kroppen min, jeg er heller ikke tankene mine, jeg er sjelen på innsiden som kan trekke meg tilbake til det innerste og observere både kroppen og mine tanker. Det jeg da observerer kan jeg velge å handle ut ifra, eller bare legge merke til hva som skjer her og nå❣️
