internal monologue

Internal monologue is the silent voice in your mind that narrates your thoughts, feelings, or plans as you go through daily life. It's like having a conversation with yourself, helping you process information, make decisions, or reflect on experiences. This mental dialogue is private and often automatic, shaping your understanding of situations and guiding your actions. Everyone experiences internal monologue differently—some may have a frequent, detailed narration, while others may have a quieter internal voice or fewer thoughts. It’s a natural part of how the brain organizes and interprets internal and external information.
