Self-reflection: Conversations with myself

I definitely have conversations with myself. If the truth were to be known, I would bet that most people also talk to themselves. It's like thinking out loud.

I have a tendency to fight with myself, when an improper thought comes into mind, like a bad feeling I have for another, or going back to the past in thought that I really don't need to think about, as those days were anything but good. Definitely not Christian.

I talk to myself, about what Jesus would do in my situation, and sometimes I actually answer my own question, so I know that Jesus is right there with me, helping me to make the right decision.

Answering my own questions, doesn't make me crazy, it just tells me that my inner mind thoughts, are allowing my spiritual way of thinking to take over, and to do what's right.

I have a problem dwelling on things that bother me, a whole lot longer than I should. This can cause a lot of confusion in my mind. It gives satan a chance to try to open that door to my heart. It's okay to argue with myself, I do it when no one is listening, as long as I bring myself away from that stinking thinking. And with Jesus, as my Savior, I will overcome, and conquer.

I also have conversations with a couple of my ex-husbands. They are both deceased now, and I never got closure. I feared both of them, so I was not able to communicate with either one without being in trouble. My councelor told me to say whatever I wanted, ask as many questions as I needed to. The main reason for this is not to get an answer from them, it's to get those feelings out of me. I can finally say what I couldn't before. I will never know the answers, but I feel that I have made peace with both of them.

I just lost my mother less than a year ago, and I have been mad at myself for all the things I didn't do, and for all the things I should have done. Just to be there with her more often. I talk to her, and tell her how sorry I am for not always being there. I ask myself, why wasn't I there? I know in my heart that she never felt neglected, but I do have some regrets.

If I'm reading something, I have to read it out loud or it doesn't make much sense to me. I talk my way through whatever I'm trying to do. It actually does help me. If I say things out loud, I'm more apt to remember them. Talking to one's self can be very beneficial if you choose to see it that way.

Dwelling on anything for too long, will cause anger within. It is definitely not my strong suit. It can cause one to hold grudges, and unforgivingness,
