My favourite word has always been NO. Occasionally NOPE. Maybe runs a close third. The beast loves to keep me inside my walls, alone and unsociable Lately, I have been pushing those words out of my head as if they were in a cartoon bubble. I am learning the fabulous word, YES! The more I say YES, the more I enjoy life and the people in it. Fear still trickles along beside that word but I am slapping the beast hard these days. I want to live a happier fuller life and I am tired of the loneliness that the beast pushed me into. I want light in my life as the darkness no longer feels protective, it now feels suffocating.
Practice saying yes. Say yes to all the crazy turns and curveballs in your life, the good, the bad the big and the small. Say yes to your past, your present and mostly your future. Say yes to your choice of why you are leaving your comfort zone or home. Yes to someplace new and yes to an adventure, even if it only entails the grocery store. Whatever arises in your mind. say yes. Say yes to sensations. feelings, images, thoughts, desires, and memories. Just keep saying yes except to over excessive online shopping, maybe say not now and leave it in the online cart! Say yes to all the people in your life, again maybe not all the salespeople. Say yes to your child and surprise the shit out of them. Say yes by using different tones of your voice, out loud or in your mind, and who cares if someone gives you an odd look in the street for yelling yes as you walk by. Just wink and let them think about that. Try a loud enthusiastic yes, a soft yes, a rueful yes, even a cautious yes. Feel that yes in your body right down to your toes. Breathing in feeling positive about something and then breathing out say yes. Breathe in happy serene energy and then breath out yes. Breathe in the calm and breathe out yes. Do this repeatedly until it is natural to you. Say yes to you and your needs. Yes to more exercise, less anger more love. Yes to being alive, to each day to each year. Yes to life. Think of a scenario and say yes to it in your mind. Suddenly you begin to notice you are saying yes to all the things that you said no to before in life. For every breath, every heartbeat, say yes. I want to be flooded with euphoria like sensations not the dreary sadness of the beast offers. I crave the confidence that independence from the beast, has to offer me. I want to spread my wings and fly. So say yes over and over again until you forget how to say no. Live the life you deserve not the one that puts you in the shadows. YES HELL YES!
