Self-Talk

Do you talk to yourself? We normally judge people who talk to themselves as a bit eccentric, but there may be Biblical precedent for doing this. Read Psalms 42 and 43.

Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God. (42:5)

Commenting on my own entry: Of course, the conclusion I reached isn't what is supposed to be drawn from the text, but I just think it's interesting that the Psalmist is addressing his soul.
