Each one of us has to learn to say "yes" to those activities, thoughts, and dreams that give us energy, life, a sparkle in our eyes and a lift in our step. Are you learning to say "yes!" to life?
Like most spiritual learning, saying "yes" to those things that enhance our own life and the lives of others takes practice. Most of what we have been taught in order to live in the world is not a "yes!" to life.
How do we begin? We begin by learning what it is that gives us joy, that enhances our breathing, that makes us feel good about ourselves.
Make a list. Make it a simple list! The list doesn't need to be long. My list, for example, includes things like: spending quality time with my cat; taking a few moments to look at the trees outside the windows of my home; leaving my desk to go for a short walk during the day; sitting on the grass; calling a friend who makes me laugh; writing my "gratitude list" at the end of the day.
Next, make sure you practice one, two, or three of the things on your list, every single day.
Say "yes!" to these things, and each time you do, you will expand the "yes!" in your life a bit more. When you say yes to these things, you grow into who you really are.
"Yes!"
Warmly,
