Talk to yourself or
Self-Talk
Often considered strange, not infrequently considered to have a mental disorder.However, it turns out this habit can actually be an important tool in maintaining
mental health
.How come?
Since childhood, some people have been used to chattering themselves, whether they are playing, walking, or while at home.Over time, this habit can develop into a means to relieve anxiety, encourage yourself, or understand the feelings that are emerged.
According to Grace Lautman, a mental health counselor,
Self-Talk
It can be very useful, especially for those who tend to be easier to empathize with others than to themselves.
“As children, we absorb our voices and responses of caregivers. Sometimes, these voices develop into very critical internal sounds because we learn to avoid mistakes in an environment that is not entirely safe,” he said, quoted from

.
The benefits of self-talk for mental health
1. Increase self -esteem
Talking with yourself can strengthen self -confidence.This method can also be a place to remind yourself that you are responsible for your life.
“When saying something to yourself, it is like giving a ‘re -care’ to your part that used to not get the chance to grow with solid confidence,” explained Lautman.
2. Help emotional regulation
No matter how old you are, everyone can have difficulty regulating emotions.By speaking to yourself, you can create a safe space for the nervous system, create a sense of comfort and reduce fear.
3. Increase social connection
How to treat yourself is often reflected in the way you treat others.By recognizing personal emotions, you are better able to respond to others more clearly and full of empathy.
This process is not instant, but the more often you do it, the ability to manage conflicts and emotions in social interaction will increase.
4. Present humor in life
Self-talk can also be a moment to laugh at yourself.Speaking to yourself gives you permission to laugh at your own mind, mistakes, or strange habits.
Remember, humor can be a stressful transfer, expand the point of view, and remind us that not everything needs to be considered too serious.
5. Foster curiosity
Often as age, we stop asking ourselves.In fact, speaking to yourself opens up space to foster curiosity while looking for the right answers for these questions.
Remember, speaking to yourself is not a sign of madness, but a form of self -awareness.The relationship you have with yourself is the most important relationship in your life.
