In fact, there are several Bible characters who talked to themselves (Psalm 77:6-7 NIV; Ecclesiastes 2:12,15 NIV; Ecclesiastes 4:8 NIV; 1 Samuel 13:12 NIV; Luke 12:17-18 NIV; Luke 15:17-19 NIV).<\/p>\n<p>When I take long walks that are approximately an hour in duration, I find that talking to myself allows my mind to free itself of worldly distractions and helps me focus on spiritual things (Colossians 3:1-2). In fact, many of my blog articles are the result of thoughts that come into my mind while walking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The following are some benefits I have found in talking to myself:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Allows me to exercise greater self-control over any negative situation or circumstance (cf. Acts 16:19-25).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Allows me not to make impulsive and harmful decisions (cf. Acts 16:27-28).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Allows me to think of solutions to my problems with greater clarity (cf. Luke 15:17-19).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Allows me to relieve any stress that I have bottled up within me due to any outside situation or circumstance, such as arguments, disagreements, etc. (cf. Psalm 37:8; Matthew 5:25; Ephesians 4:26).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Allows me to maintain a healthy thinking mind (Philippians 4:8).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Allows me to maintain a closer relationship with God (cf.
