You hit the books.
Pep Talk: You may know a book by heart but, every time you read it, you have a fresh chance to learn something new. Even outside of school, it never hurts to brush up on your areas of interest. You may become even better at things you’re already the best at!
Today remind yourself: I hit the books.

You respect the tech.
Pep Talk: Wouldn’t it be awesome if technology did exactly what you wanted it to exactly when you needed it done? Well, I’m sorry, that is not the world we live in. We live in an unpredictable time with all sorts variables at play. You can survive a slow connection or a dropped call without abusing your electronics. Breathe. Don’t anger the robots.
Today remind yourself: I...

Your job is not your life.
Pep talk: Let’s talk worst case scenarios, shall we? Let’s say you really fuck up and get fired, what then? You pack your shit and get out of there, that’s what. Then you hold your head high and remember that that job didn’t define you. Then you forgive yourself for your mistakes and you try to improve. Then you hunt for a new job, one that makes you happy. Then you keep on...

Pep Talk: You’re not playing. You are a catch that any potential partner would be lucky to have. You will never settle because you recognize that you are valuable. You deserve amazing love and you will have it.
Today remind yourself: I am hard to get.

Zits can't pop you.
Pep Talk: You’re gorgeous and no pimple is going to slow you down. Your face shines through any break out. Go ahead and pose for photos. Life doesn’t stop for blemishes.
Today remind yourself: Zits can’t pop me.
You don't need everyone's approval.
Pep talk: It feels icky to sense that someone has an unfavorable impression of you. Don't take the blame for them not liking you. Some people, as you know, have shitty taste. No one is universally adored. Your options are: change or get over it... and you don't need to change.
Today remind yourself: I don't need everyone's approval.
You're thankful for your good fortune.
Pep talk: You are one fortunate person. You have qualities that other people wish they had. You're lucky yet you're grateful. That's a good balance.
Today remind yourself: I'm thankful for my good fortune.

A little bit goes a long way.
Pep Talk: You know what a difference it makes to your appearance when you brush your hair. It’s just a little thing, but it keeps you from leaving your house with rice krispies in your hair. You can make painless little improvements in other areas of your life too. You could pull up the sheets on your bed. You could compliment someone you normally dislike. It’s a tiny gesture but...

You make your own decisions.
Pep talk: You know what's best for you so, when you feel peer pressure to do something you don't want to, you can stand up for yourself. You don't have to be mean or anything, but you are too mature to fall for that juvenile bullshit.
Today remind yourself: I make my own decisions.
Indoor voices.
Pep talk: I can think no instance when it's appropriate to get into a shouting match with a hobo. (I'm using this example because I just witnessed it.) You have way too much at stake to fight with someone who has nothing to lose. In fact, there are very few times when yelling is the best choice. You were raised better than to scream at strangers.
Today remind yourself: Indoor voices.

You are and you have fun.

Today remind yourself: I am and I have fun.

Everybody wins.
Pep Talk: It is so fucking difficult to be happy for other people but, if you really try, I bet you’ll find that you’re up to the challenge. Someone else’s success isn’t your failure. You are a winner too, champ.
Today remind yourself: Everybody wins.
