You can recover.
Pep talk: Be it a momentary slip up or a monumental fuck up, you can bounce back. Mistakes don’t make you bad! Resuscitate your dignity. Talk your pride off the ledge. Behave like a hero and keep marching past life’s little booby traps.
Today remind yourself: I can recover.

Seek help.
Pep Talk: You are incredibly self-sufficient and capable. When it comes to matters of health and wellness, however, you probably ought to get an outside opinion. Insured or not, have someone take a look at that rash or listen to your troubles. I’m sure you’re fine, but you don’t have to go it alone when there are professionals just dying to take care of you.

You're awake.

You are rubber.
Pep Talk: People talk a whole lot of condescending shit on this internet machine. (I prefer not to have a message board for two reasons: 1) I can’t stand criticism and 2) if someone really MUST criticize me, they have to go way out of their way to contact me and then I can discount them as crazy for working so hard to contact a stranger. Seriously, do not contact me unless you think...

You're enthusiastic.
Pep Talk: Your ideas are brilliant! The more pumped you get about them, the more freely they’ll come to you. Banish doubt and cynicism when you’re being creative. You’re as great as you think you are so treat yourself to effusive praise.

You're dealing with mere mortals.
Pep Talk: Communication can be so refreshingly easy with some people. With others it’s tomato, tomahto, let’s call the whole motherfucking thing off. Why can’t people just be clear and upfront with you? I’ll tell you why. In the words of my own mother: People are stupid. Yep, we’re all just people. We don’t say what we mean. We don’t mean what we say....
You're in charge of your feelings.
Pep talk: It's a very human thing to be sensitive. Attract kindness with kindness because you are the protector of your feelings.
Today remind yourself: I'm in charge of my feelings.
You get along.
Pep talk: It's amazing that you can be so kind to a person you don't care for. It shows maturity. You can get along with the worst of em.

You're a genuine original.
Pep talk: You’re a unique individual and you march to the beat of your own drum. Still, it’s OK to be conventional from time to time. You can enjoy a popular song or wear a trendy top and remain a fabulous rebel. You don’t have to be different for the sake of being different. You can do what feels right and you’ll always be one of a kind.
Today remind yourself: I’m a...

You focus like a laser.
Pep talk: This is the year of focus (or at least that's what I'M calling it) and the year is still quite young. You have big goals in mind and every step you take moves you closer to them. Focus on the step you're on now. You will complete this step to the best of your ability and you'll move on to the next. Your focus is steady and your goal is within reach.
Today remind yourself: I focus like a laser.

Painless apologies exist.
Pep Talk: When it’s time to apologize, that’s what time it is. It’s not time to grovel or beg for forgiveness. It’s not time to rationalize or disperse blame. It’s not time to make the person to whom you’re apologizing see how they’ve hurt you. All that can come later. First, apologize. “I’m sorry” means exactly that; it’s merely a...

Last night, I was chased through the subway by a villain! I’d noticed this guy on the train. His tongue was sticking out and his lips were moving in a way that telegraphed his insanity. He jumped off the train at the same stop I did and we were the only two people on the platform. I saw his reflection in some metal as he was running to catch me. Thankfully, I had my trusty Sabre in my...
Fake it.
Pep talk: So maybe you're a tad bit intimidated. Ok, breathe. There is nothing to be freaked about. You're just as good, just as talented, just as worthy as anybody else. All you're missing is confidence and you can pretend like you have that. Believe you're amazing and you will be.
Today remind yourself: Fake it.
