Have you seen the “Yes!” movie? The one when the main character is challenged, or encouraged to say yes to everything that comes their way and see how their life changes? I saw a version of it a few years ago, and I quite distinctly remember feeling a little anxious just watching the movie. Say yes to everything??
Now, of course, some discernment and caution still need to be given. Also to check in with personal ethics, values, etc., but imagine the opportunity this concept opens to explore your values, beliefs, and resistances and to clarify what is important to you and WHY!?
- Solo traveling through Europe for 3 months without a plan, or tours booked.
- Taking jobs, for the offer to learn and grow.
- Road trip to the unknown that led me to a liberating adventure, meeting people I am still in love with and letting go of so many limiting beliefs and unworthiness.
- Accepting help, when I am meant to be the strong one and oh so self-reliant. That brought up a lot of stuff.
- Saying yes to study because it was offered that resulted in many, many layers of stuff being ripped out of my psyche.
- staying still, stagnant, and small.
- avoiding growth and learning about our skills, talents, and power.
- being held down,
- giving our power away to others. Past, current, and future people and situations.
- not believing in ourselves. To say yes, especially to the uncomfortable we must believe it is possible, even if we are holding onto the coattails of another’s belief in us.
- keeping the doors closed, and hiding, staying trapped in dysfunctional coping mechanisms.
- and so much more.
- self-possibility and curiosity. What else is possible for me?
- self-empowerment and belief
- healing
- being an example and inspiration to others.
- we set the bar, raise the bar, create healthier boundaries.
- to ourselves and who we choose to become and realise.
- more opportunities, connections, adventures
- increasing worthiness and deservedness
- create a longer list of evidence to support future challenges and say “I can do this!”
- greater blessings, a richer and vibrant life-scape
- deeper connections, love and pleasure
- and sooo much more.
Your turn …
Please share how, when, and the outcome of you saying “YES”! when in truth you were scared, apprehensive, uncertain. You sharing your experiences will help others as well.
I would love to hear your stories too, adding to my life scape and richness of life.
