Each person, one way or another, uses an internal dialogue, because he is considered an integral part of our essence. The most basic example: when you decide what to wear, put on, or buy. At this time, you seem to be consulting with yourself, present the pros and cons of this or that decision. It is such a means of internal communication that helps us to more fully recreate the existing picture of the world, for example, by analyzing someone’s actions and decisions, we thereby draw conclusions for ourselves, find the expected way out of the situation, and so on.
As soon as you begin to think about it, you will notice that almost the whole day you do what you think and calculate the correctness of the actions of your friends and acquaintances, relatives and other people around you. This is the problem of many people: they think too much about others, thereby not having the opportunity to relax and live their own lives.
Then the question arises of how to stop the internal dialogue in order to get rid of constant emotional congestion? First of all, you need to understand the meaning of this lesson: is it worth thinking about what has already happened and what cannot be changed? Maybe you should just accept it as it is? In this case, the most effective way to stop the internal dialogue is to shift attention to the analysis of the possible consequences of the problem.
Thus, the internal dialogue is a process of mental activity, thanks to which you can analyze the information received and build a chain of logical connections. It is also a way of adapting a person in society, because with the help of analysis you begin to understand what mistakes have been made, and will continue to behave differently in a similar situation. For example, you crashed daddy's car. After such an act, you begin to think about whether it is worth telling the father or not. If you say, he will swear. And if you keep silent, there can be much more problems. But you can’t fix the situation anymore, so you need to say it anyway. This is the internal dialogue, only it is built somewhat inaccurately. It is better in this case to analyze possible options for overcoming a situation that has already occurred, and look for those solutions that would reduce the number of negative consequences.
However, we note that stopping the internal dialogue plays an important role, because otherwise there are many negative reactions, for example:
1. Dissipation of concentration. Thinking constantly about something, you cannot concentrate on a specific business, task or work. Thoughts about a situation constantly pop up in your head, making it difficult to think and do other things.
2. The development of low self-esteem and complexes. Internal dialogue often causes a similar situation in adolescents. Well, for example: “he doesn’t want to communicate with me because I'm ugly”, “nobody pays attention to me because I'm a bespectacled person” and so on. You begin to give a bunch of arguments in favor of your conclusions, developing many complexes that sometimes persist throughout life.
3. Constant internal anxiety, insomnia. Since you think about problems constantly, solve those situations that have already occurred and cannot have another solution, how can you calm down and feel relaxed? Such a condition can lead to the development of many more severe mental disorders, which can be eliminated only with medical help.
That is why it is so important to stop the internal dialogue in time. However, in addition to negative traits, this type of dialogue also has many positive ones: motivation, self-knowledge, success in life and business, as well as positive energy.
