I agree with you completely. One needs to focus at what he's doing 100% in order to do it the best as possible. Imagination has no limits, and as you said talking to yourself silently makes perfect sense as we can create our own worlds in our imagination and release our true potential into the work we do.
We're all a little crazy, everyone in his own way and that's completely normal. ;)
Keep up the great work,
Kind regards,

Most people would say we are weird when we do crazy things. Their lives must be boring! Its much more fun using our imagination and creating fantastic stuff.
