You know how you talk to yourself in your head? It’s ok, everybody does it! The act of talking to your own mind goes by many names. Some call it internal dialog or internal monologue, while others refer to it as self-talk. It’s basically how you reflect, deliberate or ponder just about everything.
I wonder if dogs do it too only in barks and grunts.
Maybe I should READ books instead of listening to them.
I’ve often said that I prefer to listen to books rather than sitting down to read them. That way, I have something to occupy my mind when I’m cleaning house or cooking a meal.
I consumed my latest audio book over a shorter time period because the weather outside is atrocious. (It was ZERO degrees when I woke up this morning.) The entire book was narrated by a woman with a British accent, so her dialect was pumped into my subconscious for multiple hours.
Imagine my surprise when my self-talk voice was me sounding all British! Yup — it’s true. Stuck at home during this cold weather snap might be driving me a bit mad. 🤪
Now you know: David Bowie was born David Jones. When starting out, Davy Jones of The Monkees was already famous and so he had to choose a different stage name. His first choice was Tom Jones.
