@olivia.unplugged: Hot take: high-functioning metacognition is the new sexy. Here’s how to start knowing how your own mind works. #metacognition #cognitivehealth #SelfImprovement #intelligence #opalapp

Vicky :

I think I have meta cognition but I also have adhd and I don’t think those can coincide

Treway2262 :

I’ve caught myself so many times questioning my thoughts and diving into why. I thought this was a normal thing to do.

kaleyyyy :

I do this, but it’s like it hits me delayed sometimes. Like I’ll be in an emotion for a good sec before I’m like…hold on this isn’t me.

Evan :

“Let me explain”

⋆˙⟡ Christina Dobre ⟡˙⋆ :

I feel like social media is worsening my ability to articulate my thoughts out loud eloquently!

tjthescribe :

I was taught, therapeutically, to sit quietly and let my thoughts arise like bubbles and to simply observe them. They exist, but they are floating around at a safe distance that I can look at them and choose whether to engage with them, how, etc. I've been practicing the same with emotions.

_mars.m.samael🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 :

....I'm sorry, but that's just thinking.. isn't it?

x⋆e⋆n⋆i⋆t⋆h 🌌 :

a 1000%!! My college mentor told me that metacognition and cognitive empathy are the most important skills in learning (being aware of your train of thought & being able to put yourself in another’s shoes)

rhionaeschna 🇨🇦 :

I had no idea that wasn't just how it was for everyone.

nico nico :

steven universe taught me this w “here comes a thought” 🤣

Rainbow Rewind :

The problem is with AuDHD and C-PTSD, I sit with ALL my thoughts.

Rylan :

Mental habit I do, is wait a hour when waking up before touching phone, and use piano sounds to regulate my brain

Twinkerbell💜 :

My mental tip as an adhd person is when I am bored or impatient I read a book. It keeps me calm and helps me become more patient

Postcard Diary :

the numbing + social media distractions has been difficult. perhaps going on my daily walks without listening to music or audio book will be a good exercise. for body + mind.

Whitney | Lifestyle :

As a former educator, we called this thinking about your thinking. A strategy we used to help students develop this skill is called “think alouds”. Basically, model how “good” learned think. An example would be thinking aloud how you solve a math problem, literally all your thoughts to connect what you know, questions you ask yourself, and encourage yourself to persevere

Darrell :

Me a therapist bringing this to sessions with me for my intellectualizers then hitting them with somatic exercises hehehe
