Verbalizing the thought. Just the thought of expressing the idea might cause anxiety, stress. The fear of judgment, rejection. After all it’s coming from within you, surely, to reject the idea is to reject you.
Verbalizing it, hearing it out loud for yourself, does it sound foolish, ridiculous, impossible. Cringing or defensiveness when you hear it back to you from others. But each step is purposeful from the mind to the first step of vocalization, it’s an iteration. The idea takes time, it takes work, versioning, development. It must be vocalized to start being focused, refined, purposed. To begin its journey into the real world. But this is just beginning.
Verbalizing the idea is the first step in organizing the thought into material form, producing actual sound waves to be transmitted to another thinking person. Can they understand it. Does it make sense to them. Are there holes in the premise? Leaps in logic. Jumps in conclusion. Assumptions. Misperceptions. Further assessment.
