Metacognition

The human brain is the most complex physical entity in the universe.

Metacognition is an individual's process of thinking about one’s own thinking and learning. Cambridge International Education indicates: "Metacognition describes the processes involved when learners plan, monitor, evaluate and make changes to their own learning behaviours."

"Self-talk is a form of metacognition, which is the practice of thinking about one's own thoughts. Self-talk can be a healthy way to increase motivation and regulate emotions." See also: Self-motivation

Done constructively metacognition and self-talk can help one improve the quality of one's thoughts, better organize one's thoughts, better process information, and improve one's decision making. It can also help one improve one's concentration, problem solving skills, and motivation.
