Silence Negative Self-Talk by Phoning a Friend

For many of us these next few days are going to be difficult with changed holiday plans and missing family and friends.  When we are feeling down in the dumps it’s easy for our self-talk to guide us down a deep dark hole.  You don’t have to listen to that.  Interrupt that voice.  End that conversation by starting a new one – phone a friend!

1. Call the person who is always in your corner . . . your head cheerleader . . . that person who believes in you 100%!  Tell them you need a holiday pep talk and let them work their magic. 

2. Call someone you think would benefit from hearing a friendly voice on the other end of the line. Doing something for someone else will not only make that person happy but will re-focus your heart and put a smile back on your face.  

Don't let negative self-talk bring you down.  Take control by reaching out and talking with a friend.
