Your eyes are open.
Pep Talk: There is beauty all around you and you can choose to see it. Now, I don’t know for sure, but I’d be willing to bet that you weren’t put on this planet so that you could roll your eyes and just barely tolerate everything. You can decide to see the world as exciting place with opportunities around every corner because, for a sharp person like you, that’s precisely...

The goal is in sight.
Pep Talk: You’re working toward something big, huh? A physically gruelling, emotionally draining goal? Good for you. Only a brave and driven person can push themselves the way you do. The day to day journey toward your dream is challenging, exhausting, and sometimes even annoying, but it is not too much for you. Every hurdle you overcome brings you that much closer. Each time you sacrifice...

The price is right.
Pep Talk: You have many obvious talents, but today, I thought it might be fun to pinpoint one of your lesser noticed gifts: frugality. You can spot a bargan and see a sale through to checkout. You can pass on a high priced non-necessity without remorse. You can alter an irregular sweater, regift a gift card, and find treasures in the 99¢ bin. You are shopper, hear you roar. Today remind yourself:...
You're a winner.
Pep Talk: You’re a blue ribbon, gold medalist, title holder in a league of your own. You’re a tough-as-nails fighter with a complicated history and a promising future who is making the absolute most of the present. You’re competing with no one because no one can compete with you. You’re the champ, undisputed. Today remind yourself: I’m a winner.

Know your intention.
Pep Talk:You know what you’re doing and why you’re doing it. As long as you’re clear on your reasons, you can be as secretive as you want. You have an intention and you hold it in your heart. Today remind yourself: I know my intention.

Cross it off the list.
Pep Talk: It’s time to do that one little thing you’ve been putting off. Hop to it! Quick, like a bunny. Get it done and never think of it again.
Today remind yourself: Cross it off the list.
[To better incentivize you, let’s make a deal: If you do that one little thing you’ve been putting off, let me know at emailingrachel@gmail.com and I’ll post a congratulatory...

You're on a roll!
Pep Talk: Another great decision, my friend. You’re on fire today. You’ve made good choice after good choice without hesitation. Your outfit looks hot, that thing you ate was tasty, and you were totally right to like that last post. Pretty much everything you choose is awesome. Today remind yourself: I’m on a roll!
Too extraordinary to blend in.

Let yourself off the hook.
Pep Talk: Alright, frowny, enough. It’s time to stop beating yourself up. Whatever you’re punishing yourself over is over and has been for a while. While your guilt is admirable and shows what a good heart you have, it’s not useful in the here and now. Beautiful things are happening all around you and I don’t want you to miss anything because you’re stuck in a week...

Take a break from the pressure.
Pep Talk: You hold yourself to a very high standard and, in large part, that’s why you’re such a star. But things have been unusually stressful lately and you’re probably carrying some residual tension, sorrow, and exhaustion. Please go easy on yourself. It might be time for a break to veg out and recuperate. You are allowed to relinquish control for a while and forget about...

You embrace change.
Pep Talk: Change is coming and you’re strong enough to handle it. You have what it takes to flourish under any circumstances because you’re adaptable and brave. Today remind yourself: I embrace change.

This bad company is in good company.
Pep Talk: Hey, you aren’t the only one with a shitty job and an evil boss. Thankfully, you’re very competent and you can find a better job if you have to. While it may take time to find new work and free yourself from your boss’ incomprehensible, micro-managerial bullshit, you can rest assured that crappy jobs are but a small part of the great human experience and...
