A lot of people do self-talk to jettison their old patterns of thinking and fill their lives with invigorating thoughts. This practice, according to Kusha Kalra, is called "The Art Of Letting Go" that lays emphasis on positive affirmations to bring peace of mind and happiness to the soul.

We are living in a world that's constantly communicating, leaving everyone gasping for breath. We love to interact -- virtually or in person but interaction with oneself in the form of introspection or self-talk is what we need to make sense of our chaotic lives and find our centre

So, do not feel strange the next time you find someone addressing themselves by their names. They are just "self-talking" and you must do it too. Who knows you might start liking your own company and end up being your best friend? Think about it!
