- When was the last time you felt like talking too much to yourself?
- Do you feel that your behavior has become a disease?!
- Do you sometimes find yourself fighting and arguing with yourself as if you were arguing with someone else?
Before you want to know if it’s okay to talk to yourself, we need to make a few points. Your conscious mind responds to behaviors you are aware of (such as consciously moving your hands). But the subconscious mind is responsible for actions that are beyond your attention. For example, controlling emotions, beliefs, heart rate, respiration, memories, skills, and so on.
Beliefs that are already in your subconscious affect your behavior, your perception of the world around you or people, as well as the value you place on yourself. So if you want to change your world, it’s not bad to think about your beliefs and correct them.
The interaction between your conscious and subconscious minds shapes your beliefs. If your subconscious mind approves of something and does not feel anything unreasonable about it, it will most likely form into a belief in your subconscious (if repeated several times).
What is the benefit of Talking to yourself?
Now is the time to see what the benefits of talking to yourself are. When you talk to yourself you are influencing the beliefs that are in the subconscious mind. Talking to yourself is the process of using the conscious mind to analyze events and information to see if a new belief needs to enter your subconscious.
For example, suppose you are rejected by someone you love. In such a case, you may quickly assume that there is something wrong with you or start talking to yourself to convince your subconscious that you are not bad and that there are other reasons behind his rejection.
In other words, talking to yourself prevents your subconscious mind from forming new beliefs about you and the world around you. And this is fantastic.
Talk to yourself to correct your beliefs!
Think of your subconscious mind as a friend, he will not believe you unless you provide him with reasoned evidence. The reasoning process can be in two ways:
- Do a wonderful deed and get a great result, so that your subconscious mind will believe that it is wrong. For example, to study hard so that your subconscious mind believes that you are smart.
- Talk to your subconscious mind to let him know that his beliefs about the world are wrong. By convincing your subconscious mind you will be able to achieve similar results.
Therefore, you should know that talking to yourself is a healthy habit that, if done correctly, will help you become more psychologically stable.
I’m afraid to go crazy
Some people get very worried and upset when they talk to themselves.
In fact, after every few hours of talking to themselves, they are confronted with newer puzzles and unanswered questions that make them feel worse, their problems increase, and they become more confused.
Why?
The reason for this is because they do not have enough knowledge about the subject under discussion.
If you do not have enough knowledge about an important issue and start arguing with yourself, the result will be further annoying you because you are not able to communicate with yourself, and every question you ask will be another unanswered question that will bother you and make you feel more confused.
This is why talking to yourself is of no use unless you have done enough research. The more you study, the better your relationship with yourself, and as a result, the better you can convince your subconscious to believe you and thus give you positive feelings (as a sign of approval).
