Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
I think you’re right - but if a problem is festering then talking through it can be helpful. I’m not very good at articulating out loud so I end up dumping it out in a journal, where it probably makes even less sense but it’s out of my head and I can draw a line under it and move on more easily. I like the idea of being more actively engaged though.
If you are the the type of person to ruminate on an issue; then talking it through with someone can be very helpful to give you a perspective outside your own head.
If you are not the rumination type; then talking it out may be of less use (but still not useless).

Yeah, there’s definitely a reason this has been floating around Tumblr for years:
