Pep Talk: Are you taking good care of yourself, Pumpkin? Are you getting your beauty rest? Are you taking your vitamins? Are you surrounding yourself with nice people and filling your life with positivity? Are you flossing? If you’re doing even one of those things, you’re way ahead of the game. Every little bit helps.
Today remind yourself: I’m doing something.
Pep Talk: You want to do it. You dream of doing it. You spend time (that maybe should be spent doing other things) thinking of doing it. I’m not talking about sex… well, not necessarily. I’m talking about that change you want to make and that trip you want to take and that life you want to lead. Start now. Make a commitment to your dreams and they’ll come true. Put aside a quarter today and soon you’ll have a dollar, then a thousand. Start a dating profile and soon people will be asking you out. If you want to go somewhere, go. There are no limits on you.
Today remind yourself: Commit to it.
Pep Talk: When you’re blue, you know how to comfort yourself better than anyone else does. Put on those sweat pants, pop some kettle corn, and break out your favorite DVDs. Make yourself happy and safe while you recover. You’ll be feeling better and back in the game in no time.
Today remind yourself: Get comfy.
Pep Talk: Are you meeting your needs? That’s what’s most important. I know people need a lot from you, but how are you going to help anybody if you starve to death or go crazy? As they say in airplanes, put your mask on first. Take care of yourself so you can be available to care for others.
Today remind yourself: I’ll meet my needs then save the world.
Pep Talk: Things will turn out alright even if you go easy on yourself. There’s no rule that says you have to self impose a ton of pressure and be stressed out all the time in order to succeed. You will have a good, happy, fulfilling life. It’s going to happen because you’re already living it. Enjoy the moment and see your worries for what they really are: imaginary.
Today remind yourself: No pressure.
Pep Talk: Thank you for being such an agreeable companion. It’s nice to be around someone who isn’t bitching all day long.
Today remind yourself: Way to be content.
Pep Talk: You have the energy to make things happen. You’re awake and your life is thrilling.
Today remind yourself: Big things.
