You're open.
Pep Talk: You’re understanding of the past and uncommitted to the future. Anything could happen in the present and you’re as prepared as anybody. Bring it, life.
Today remind yourself: I’m open.

This is it.
Pep Talk: I’ve got a really good feeling about this coming week. Big things are going to happen for us. Nothing is blocking us and we’re bound for success!
Today remind yourself: This is it.
You shine from within.
Pep talk: You're a beauty, that's for certain. Inside and out, you sparkle with positive energy. You deserve to be treated with respect and to be cherished for the jewel you are.
Today remind yourself: I shine from within.
You are even more.
Pep talk: I’m pointing the finger at myself here when I say what I’m about to say. Quit slacking. The people who love you and your work really don’t mind if you phone in a couple assignments, but why test their loyalty? Commit to produce the quality of work that brings tears to the eyes of the masses, that wins big shiny trophies, that gets laminated and stuck on the fridge....

The results are out of your hands.
Pep Talk: You know what you want to have happen, but whether or not it does is completely out of your control. All you can do is your best. You put in the leg work and maintain an open mind and whatever happens happens. Other times, you get the result you want through an unconventional route or without any effort on your part. Awesome. Who cares how it happened- it happened.
Today remind...
You're unencumbered.
Pep talk: As heavy as any burden feels, you have a light attitude. It’s a strong and peaceful attitude you’ve worked hard to cultivate; an attitude for which you deserve a pat on the back. You know that anything on your calendar or to-do list can be crossed off in favor of some personal time. Your comfort and well being are top priorities, because how can you help anyone else if...

You're cheery.
Pep Talk: What’s there to bitch about? Trivial shit, probs. On the whole, you’re a fluffy marshmallow bobbing along in the delicious cocoa of thrilling existence. How lucky!
Today remind yourself: I’m cheery.
You're awesome at life.
Pep talk: This is your life. It's beautiful and exciting. You're not in competition with anyone, but still, you're winning.
Today remind yourself: I'm awesome at life.

The greatest PepCast of all time so far.
You accept help with grace and strength.
Pep Talk: There are plenty of reasons you might turn down help, especially help from a stranger. (I vote you least likely to be eaten or worn. Congrats!) But when you’re really struggling to lift something or open something or you’re in a race against time, you can consider accepting help from a trustworthy, non-serial-killer-y source. Keep your wits about you. You’re capable and...

Treats, not tricks.
Pep talk: Do you ever treat yourself to something really bad for you? Like, “I had a rough day. I deserve some rice pudding.” Well I do this, so I’m just going to assume you do it too. How is it a treat if it’s killing us (albeit softly, presumably with its song)? Maybe today, after we “treat” ourselves, we can really treat ourselves to something healthy and...

You're content.
Pep talk: So much time and energy is spent striving for more and better. It isn’t easy to be satisfied, but remember how hard you’ve worked to get where you are. You deserve to take a breath and enjoy it. Your life is excellent just the way it is. You have all the things you really need.
Today remind yourself: I’m content.

Ink and paper needn't be involved.
Pep talk: If you can’t say anything nice for the love of God don’t put it on paper. That shit takes a really long time to decompose. Call a friend and talk trash to them. Sure the government is listening to your call, but they’ve heard worse.
Today remind yourself: Ink and paper needn’t be involved.

(Remember when I was The White Witch on The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe National Tour? Me neither.)
People notice.
Pep Talk: This is not to say that outside approval matters, but you’re making us all really proud. Well done.
Today remind yourself: People notice.
