       Number nine: Having negative conversation with ourselves. “For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:3-6, ESV). All of us are carrying on conversation within ourselves on a daily basis. We are constantly saying things to ourselves. Now, sometimes these things are good, and sometimes bad. For some even, their conversations tend to be more bad than good, and this can cause unnecessary anxiety in people lives. Our self-talk can either motivate us with positive thoughts, or if our self talk is negative, it can cause us to get into a bad mood and not be so motivated to do much of anything. I believe that much of our life experience is based and dependent upon the types of thoughts we are thinking in our minds. So, if we want to have a more peaceful life, we need to eliminate inappropriate negative and unnecessary thoughts from our minds.
