Call yourself

Sometimes when you get down, a call from a friend will totally cheer you up. But if you’re like me, I don’t usually call friends to ask them to call me back and cheer me up. So I decided one night to call my house phone from my cell phone and leave a message on the voice mail that was uplifting.
I call myself all the time mainly to remind me about some thing at home. But this time I called and told myself that this was a bad day—6 hours and that it was over and now I could start anew tomorrow. Sometimes I need to remind myself that this is not a chronic condition but a temporary one.
Now, when I am down I call myself and sometimes I disguise my voice to make it lower. Then I speak in Spanish and pretend to be Mario Cimarro and he tells me I am beautiful and that I deserve alegria mucho. And I feel better!

So! Call yourself!
