It’s Friday’s online finds: Cozy up and dig in.

  • I am definitely the true morning person! (A Cup Of Jo)

Internal monologue, it’s not for everyone

***WARNING*** CRAZIEST THING I’VE LEARNED IN 2020

Do you have an internal monologue? Some people don’t!

I know. The mind is blown!

I first learned about all of this from Ryan – somehow I found his article and was planning to post the link on Friday but I can’t stop thinking about it. Although I am still processing what it means (I think he is too), I need to know if anyone I know does not have an internal monologue?!?

Today I Learned That Not Everyone Has An Internal Monologue And It Has Ruined My Day. (Inside My Mind)

My life began to slowly spiral out of control with millions of questions. How do they get through the day? How do they read? How do they make decisions between choice A and choice B? My friend described it as “concept maps” that she sees in her brain. Another friend says that she literally sees the words in her head if she is trying to think about something.

The Q&A is worth watching!
