You're the Positive Voice Inside My Head
Read on the Thursday, Feb 27th radio program.
Dear Dr. Laura,
I am a long-time listener, my husband's girlfriend, and my kids' mom. Today I spent much of the day feeling overwhelmed, a bit depressed, and a tiny bit sorry for myself. I was about to venture into the kitchen and eat a whole bag of cookies, when all of a sudden, your voice popped in my head. "Get up. Get off the couch and go for a walk. Breathe in the fresh air, listen to music or a podcast (I chose one of your recent episodes on Sirius), and just keep walking." So, I did.
