Guys, how often do you have to give yourself a pep talk to get through a challenge at work/home?

[DishLady]

Daily for work. I stress about a lot of work-related things.

Daily for home. I stress about a lot of family-related things.

Daily for work and home. I stress about a lot of things both at work and at home.

Occasionally, sometimes for work, sometimes for home when something major comes up.

Very rarely. I'm always confident everything will be fine.

Truthfully very rarely give myself pep talks out loud. Maybe to hype myself up, I'll actually say it verbally. I do it internally more so I'm like "Shape the fuck up you little bitch! Just call them! What's the worst thing they can tell you? No? Fuck off? Don't call me again?"

I'm not really a believer of manifestations or anything, but I do believe in the power of words. Ironic I know.

[DishLady]

Nah, it makes sense, HP. And you're good with words. (Just don't call my good friend a bitch or I'll have to come up north to shake some sense into you, haha. Love you, kiddo.)

[HawkPerception]

Haha appreciate ya DL 😁

When I start feeling tired I just dig a little deeper. No pep talks.

I basically always have President Whitmore's battle speech on repeat in my head. Like constantly.

[NathanDavis]

no pep-talks...

just hype up music sometimes... lol

[DishLady]

Same.

[NathanDavis]

which one is your choice?

[DishLady]

Depends on the day. I'll just blast it and head out for a power walk. Mostly 70-90s stuff.

No stress, but plenty of pep talks !

[DishLady]

My one friend seems stressed ALL the time and carries the weight of the world on his shoulders... I'm trying to figure out what to suggest for him bc his pep talks don't seem to be working. He's taken to his motorcycle and a lot of "solo" time. (He's a little older than you, so perhaps it's also a little different based on what milestones he thinks he should have hit by now.)

[Sunrising]

Or is it the milestones you have for him?

[DishLady]

No. I don't have expectations for him. I'm just worried to see a grown man about to pop from stress. I saw him a few weeks ago and he literally looked like his eyes were going to pop out of his skull.

[Sunrising]

That sounds bad news, hope he recovers soon !
I give up on milestones, I'm just following a road to see where it takes me !

[DishLady]

Interesting. That’s a more mature approach to things in my opinion.

[Sunrising]

Well a less stressful approach I'd say ! And though perhaps I'm not living a bees knees of a life, I'm happy !

On my old job, I had to do it daily!

Thankfully, not any more.

Time and experience have given me confidence.

Rarely, but I'm like a god in my field.
