Just for tonight.
Pep talk: Wouldn’t it be great if we didn’t care what other people thought? Well hell, let’s do it. For the rest of the night, let’s be untouchable. Let’s be impervious to judgment for the next few hours. No opinions matter but our own for the rest of the year.
Today remind yourself: Just for tonight.
You're on your way.
Pep Talk: You can change your life and become whatever you want to be. How do I know? Eh, I probably read it in The Secret. It’s true though. When you know what you want and you take actions toward that end, you’re on your way. There’s no telling how far you’ll go.
Today remind yourself: I’m on my way.

There's a time for thrift.
Pep Talk: If you’ve ever contemplated discount surgery, this pep is for you. I too am compulsively thrifty. I understand the impulse to shop around for the best price and, because so many off brand items are of comparable quality to name brand, it often makes great sense to do so. There are instances, however, when you just have to bite the bullet and pay full price. You...
Your happiness is hard won.
Pep Talk: When you feel great, it’s easy to forget what it’s like to hurt. Being happy and comfortable can make you more inclined to forgive (or at least forget) and give second chances. That’s an awfully noble inclination, but you must protect your happiness with everything you’ve got. If you’ve had your heart shat on twice by the same person, is giving them a third...

My dad brought home his class pets for winter break.
You're fortunate.
Pep Talk: Watching documentaries can really put things in perspective. Wow, it could be a lot worse. You can be grateful for the basic conveniences at your fingertips. Light switches, tap water, friends a phone call away; all adding to your comfort and security. You’re safe and clean and incredibly fortunate.
Today remind yourself: I’m fortunate.
The future is encouraging.
Pep Talk: It’s that time again when we make resolutions and attempt to improve ourselves. How inspiring is that?! The very act of self evaluation shows a desire for positive growth and social betterment. You’re ready and willing to make changes and I have no doubt that the future will bring you cheery, lighthearted opportunities.
Today remind yourself: The future is encouraging.
There's more than meets the eye.
Pep talk: People can tell that you're beautiful and fashionable just by looking at you. Little do they know, you're also warm and creative. You're surprising that way.
Today remind yourself: There's more than meets the eye.
Your kindness is impressive.
Pep talk: It's stressful when lots of people are around. Even though you may feel spread thin, your natural generosity wins out and your kindness prevails.
Today remind yourself: My kindness is impressive.

You really don't have to smile if you don't want...
This Pep Talk goes out to all my customer service workers: Attitude… what attitude? You don’t have an attitude; you have a personality. It is not your job to endure belittling comments or honor out of line demands. If it’s your job to give your ”guests” a positive experience, then it’s their job to behave as guests and not be jerks. It’s not your fault...
You're so fucking happy right now!
Pep talk: Happiness attracts more happiness. In order to be happy later, try being happy now. If nothing is making you smile right now, change something. Hear a joke. Look at a puppy. Get happy now and you'll be glad you did.
Today remind yourself: I'm so fucking happy right now.

It's certainly not you.
Pep talk: You have a heart big enough to love yourself and others at the same time. You can concentrate on your needs while maintaining loving relationships. Some people can't do that. Some people need to eliminate all distractions, including love, in order to figure themselves out. When you're on the receiving end of "it's not you, it's me", it's true! Feel feel to agree with them.
Today remind yourself: It's certainly not me.

This is what I did because I didn’t want to clean.
There is work in progress.
Pep Talk: Procrastination station. I will do anything to not clean. In fact, I’m doing actual work rather than pouring Drano in the tub and putting away once worn jeans. Whatever. I’ll get to it eventually and so will you with that thing you’re putting off. Until we do, we’ll be productive in other ways.
Today remind yourself: There is work in progress.
You're versatile.
Pep talk: It's fantastic that your interests are varied. You're gifted in a bunch of different ways. Your talent gives options so you'll never be trapped with a single skill set. Your adaptability sets you free.
Today remind yourself: I'm versatile.
It'll turn out right.
Pep Talk: You are letting go of the future and staying in the present. You are letting go of all your projections and predictions. Things will turn out as they’re meant to whether you worry about them or not.
Today remind yourself: It’ll turn out right.
Shout out for moi: Reading tomorrow!
Ya know, acting work is pretty sporadic. So when I get a gig, no matter how small, I have to shout myself out. Like tomorrow, when I’ll be in the reading of a new movie, Fault Line, with these two.

= yay!
Hey, don't be crazy.
Pep talk: Woo, that was a shitstorm, eh? It didn't get it's mitts on you though. You escaped the drama with your sanity and your dignity. Now that it's over, it's time to stop rehashing it. You didn't flip out then so don't flip out now.
Today remind yourself: Hey, don't be crazy.

I'm not interested in sadness.

Me neither.
You're the good guy.
Pep Talk: I realize it would be so easy for you to go ahead and do the wrong thing, but it’s your commitment to continuous improvement that keeps you on the straight and narrow. Your drive and integrity are assets. You have to do the right thing because that’s who you are; you’re the protagonist in this story.
Today remind yourself: I’m the good guy.

You are the defuser of douchey situations.
Pep Talk: You see him approaching from across the room. He doesn’t mean well, he doesn’t care about your thoughts or opinions, and he’s coming right for you. You are a one man bomb squad and there’s about to be an explosion of awkward. Good thing you’re kind and self confident. You can gracefully avert social disaster.

This tedium serves a purpose.

Today remind yourself: This tedium serves a purpose.
Come live with me.
Get in my purse, purse.
You enjoy the ride.
Pep Talk: You’re not crazy if all you can think about is the person you like. You like somebody- that’s great! It’s wonderful to be excited when exciting things happen so enjoy it. Fret not. You’re making the right moves. This is going to turn out as it should.
Today remind yourself: I enjoy the ride.
