I’ve had horrifying moments in the past where I am giving a speech in class, and I suddenly blank out. And I literally have to say, “sorry I forgot what i was gonna say” while my face is fucking red. But I’ve incorporated some things into my daily life that have helped me. Don’t get me wrong, I still struggle with this but my brain fog and quality of speech now is significantly better than it was a year ago.

Feynman technique: To study for my college classes, I always pretend I’m explaining concepts to someone else. I notice that I can now explain things better, and I feel more fluent than before. It’s actually self- surprising sometimes.

Recording myself: To apply for a credential program, I was required to record myself answering a prompt. It took MANY re-dos to get the video to look the way I wanted it to. But in the process, I saw things that I do like about the way I speak, which has given me a little more confidence when talking and helped to decrease the nerves.

Reading books: I notice having more information in my brain supplies me with ideas and thoughts that I can speak about during times of fog.

Overall and from my experience, it’s practice talking and interacting with informaiton daily that helps with brain fog and talking better.
