If You’re Going to Do It… Say YES!
Life is a beautiful paradox, full of contradictions. One of the most powerful tools we have is the ability to say YES! If we’re going to show up for this day, for the moments that call us, let’s embrace it with a resounding YES, I CAN!
At the same time, let’s remember that NO is equally important. It’s not just okay—it’s vital—to say no when we’re not okay, when our boundaries, feelings, or needs are being overlooked, crossed, or disrespected. 💛
Dogs, in all their wisdom, have become my greatest teachers. They say YES to life better than anyone I’ve ever known—greeting each day, each moment, with joy and enthusiasm. But when the moment calls for it, they trust themselves enough to say NO.
In the fast-paced world of social media, we often reduce life to memes or short clips: “Always say yes” or “Set boundaries and say no.” But we’re not simple. We’re deeply complex beings, living in a world painted in shades of grey. To thrive, we need to be present, to trust ourselves, and to make choices that honor who we are.
Every morning, I look to Fenix to remind me how to say YES to this day. He finds joy in the tiniest things, ignites his spirit with the magic of the ordinary, and shows me how to move through the day with energy, passion, and delight. 🔥
So join us—Fenix and me—and let’s say it loud: If you’re gonna… YES, WE CAN! 🌟
A Magic Monday Workout 🪄 Unlocking the Power of YES
- What feels tough, wrong, not ok… today? Write them all down.
- Own them. Focus on them. And truly trust yourself and if they are yours to do. Say Yes, or No, to each one.
- Some of them you might realize, NOPE I don’t need to do that… I’m letting it go.
- Others you may realize hey it’s tough, uncomfortable, but YES it’s important and I’m accountable and yep I’m saying YES to this… so OK YES!!!!!
- And some might be Maybe. Let yourself put them on hold. Make a list. Table them for later. But for TODAY… let them go.
- Our ability to trust ourselves is everything. So whatever you are agreeing to do. Even if it’s uncomfortable. Or feels a painful or problematic… if you’re a YES… then freaking SAY YES!!!! Awaken to the fact that you’ll have more energy and more power and more JOY if you truly SAY YES and you dive in 100%.
- Sometimes it’s hard to see why something is on our path. It’s hard to see what our karma is asking us to learn, to grow, to evolve through something that’s scary, not fun, or even painful. But if you’re saying Yes… open to the power of completely accepting, embracing it and showing up 100%!!! It can turn uncomfortable situation into fun and excitement. And it will turn a lack of energy and movement, into more flow, more energy and much greater alignment!
