Two comedians offer hilarious encouragement for your most mundane struggles.

Anybody can tell you “You can do it!” before the big job interview, or before you walk down the aisle, or before you blast off on the first human-powered mission to Mars. But who’s going to gas you up for all of life’s low-stakes situations when you need an extra push? 

Comedians Paula Skaggs and Josh Linden are here to cheerlead you through your daily challenges. You’ll find specific, constructive, and—most of all—very funny motivation for:

<lSending a scary email (if you died and came back as a ghost, wouldn''t it suck if this was your unfinished business?)</l<lGetting through a breakup (did you know the grocery store will sell you a cake on any day for any reason?)</l<lRemembering that all your friends are not secretly mad at you (they''re busy worrying all their friends are secretly mad at them)</l<l...and many more!</l

If you&rsquo;re going through it, have ever gone through it, or will maybe go through it in the future, let <Tiny Pep Talks< give you the boost you need.

  For When It’s Time to Get Off the Couch and Go to Bed
  
  &#160; &#160; &#160;Okay, buster—the jig is up.
  &#160; &#160; &#160;It’s past your bedtime, yet here you are: on the couch, barely awake, with no intention of getting up and going to bed.
  &#160; &#160; &#160;This is a classic case of Newton’s first law of motion: objects at rest stay on the couch. We have a suspicion that you’re scrolling on your phone while somehow also mindlessly watching a show you’ve already lost interest in, simply because the gravitational pull of the couch is too strong. So you need to make getting up and into bed as easy as possible.
  &#160; &#160; &#160;Here’s what you’re going to do (and what we’re confident you can do): get up and go to bed.
  &#160; &#160; &#160;And here’s what you’re not going to do (and what we’re confident you wouldn’t have done anyway): anything else beyond that.
  &#160; &#160; &#160;Too tired to wash your face? We’ll worry about it tomorrow! Don’t want to brush your teeth? Molars aren’t that useful anyway! Too sleepy to put on PJs? Your jeans are plenty comfy!
  &#160; &#160; &#160;The one and only goal right now is to get into your bed. We know you can get there. Because the alternative is waking up in the middle of the night, confused, with a crick in your neck and a sinking feeling that you should have just gotten up and gone to bed in the first place. Then Newton wins, and nobody wants that.
