I breathe deeply and say "Ok, focus!" to myself probably 50x a day. I also mutter and mumble to myself, under my breath... been trying to control it, but it's hard.
If I was on a desert island, I would be totally fine... I'd just talk all day long to my best friend, the volleyball.
Do you talk to yourself a lot?

No, but I talk to my pets a lot, and sometimes narrate to them what's going on… lol.

When I was working before mat leave, I talked to myself constantly at work. There were always complicated paperwork/numbers situations and I had to talk myself through it. My desk-buddy did too, so we'd often say "I'm not talking to you, I'm just talking..."

@Mae: I talk to my dog a lot too like she's another person!

When I write an email or anything, I read it aloud to myself. Before I had an office, I would have to make a conscious effort not to do it.

YES! It's always the side comments like, "man, this produce is expensive" or "ok, let's just make a right at this light." I need a running commentary of my life, I guess.

All the time, but usually it's internally not externally! ha but that happens too from time to time! I do say "you've got to be kidding me" way too often at work!

I don't - I've had to learn how to narrate my day or talk out loud since having LO.

Yes. Even when my husband is home. I also talk to the dog and the TV. I'm a loser.

Yup! I have to give myself a pep talk every morning to get out of bed and go to work instead of calling in. DS doesn't like to sleep so I'm going off of less than 3 hours of broken sleep. No bueno.
