I believe everyone has these conversations, maybe not out loud but just in thought. I tend to be my adviser, counselor. I go to my conscience where I store how I should or should not behave in situations. I also converse with my spirit, where the Holy Spirit dwells and I most of all try to control my emotions. I believe this is the greatest Humanitarian act anyone can do. By having the conversation in which we control our emotions, we prevent angry, depression, hurt feelings and many others.

Reflecting on myself conversations about angry.
Moses got angry when he hit the rock and water did not come forth. God did not tolerate it out of him, why should he tolerate it out of you. What did Jesus teach, do unto others as you would have them to unto you. (For example, if someone was having a bad day, would you want them to take it out on you, why should you? Another fine example, road rage, maybe they just didn't see you or maybe they're in a hurry, what do you accomplish by being angry? Satisfaction? Do you really feel any better?) What gives you the right to be angry for injustice, you had something to do with the situation, however small. Jesus told us to be slow to angry! Is being angry worth what this is doing to your health. Is the character you want people to see?
By the time I am done I usually end in a prayer something like this "Father please forgive me, I had no right, help me to overcome.

Reflecting on myself conversations about depressions.
Why are you depressed? Do you have clothes and food? (I tend to go with whatever the situation maybe that is depressing me, examine it, is there just cause, if I decide there is I work my way out of it by counting my blessings. This can even be done even if it involves someone else by thinking on how they bless your life). Do you live in a country where you have freedom? Are you healthy.
I list all these to myself until finally I see that I have no valid reason not to overcome depression.

These self talks are valid only when you are totally and completely be honest with yourself. Maybe in part that is why the Bible says the worst liar is one who lies to himself. Be honest as well as being kind to yourself. I usually allow for myself room for being human and forgive myself while trying to correct whatever the situation is for my well being.

Then there are myself conversations about motivation.
I usually begin my pointing out my good qualities. How I try strive for excellence and the way I maintain that is by talking to myself about accomplishment rather than failures. Failures can be looked at as a time of learning, that the excellent situations will be more excellent.

I talk to myself with respect as a general rule, occasionally I warrant a little rough talk.
However I talk to myself, I remember the most important factor of all, I am a daughter of the most High God, I AM I AM! Through Jesus Christ, my saviour, I can overcome everything.
