Have a Conversation With Yourself

Talk about vindication: Research now supports that talking to yourself actually can benefit your brain. In "Talking to Yourself Might Boost Brain Power," posted in LiveScience, researchers discovered that people who mutter aloud to themselves boost their perception and thinking.

"The general take-home point is that language is not just a system of communication, but I'm arguing it can augment perception, augment thinking," said researcher Gary Lupyan, a cognitive psychologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.


So go ahead--chat it up!You could spur your brain to work smarter.


Until next time,
