Hell, I talk to myself inside my head like that and I have no brain damage, 
at least none I am aware of. That's the internal voice I call "the 
babbler". It's a kind of constant internal dialog. When I was running one 
internal voice was always complaining about being tired, it is 
cold/raining/snowing, missing *one* day wouldn't hurt, etc., etc., etc. The 
other voice was saying 'you know you always feel better after a run. Get 
out there and just do it'. That same conversation carries over into hiking 
and even my photography. For some reason we all have the seeds of self 
defeat in our own minds along side the roots of success but neither of 
these is us. We are the chooser, the free will that decides which voice to 
listen to, which voice to act upon.
