Do you talk to yourself - out loud? Let’s see if you’re nuts...

Is talking to yourself crazy? You’d be crazy not to! 

There has been a lot of research on people who talk to themselves, out loud, and it can actually help us succeed. Young children do it all the time. Talking to themselves helps them stay on task, especially when it involves multiple steps. The same trick works for us. Talking yourself down the aisle in the grocery store or while navigating an unfamiliar route enhances focus and helps ensure you don’t miss a step. Our brains work better with verbal cues, and giving yourself directives or asking questions aloud can actually help you complete the task or find solutions more efficiently.
