Saying "yes" to your deep self is the fuel of reinvention
How’s your dream? Perhaps, it is close at hand, on the horizon or invisible. You can bring it to life, starting with one incredibly profound step: say “yes” to your self.
It sounds simplistic, so I invite you to try it for yourself. Remember that person you always wanted to be? He or she is still inside. You talk to that person all the time, usually listing all the ways you should be different than you are or comparing yourself to others.
• Go ahead: Nod your head yes.
• Say it out loud.
Notice the difference this creates in your body, attitude, and mind. You might notice a release of tension or energy, some sadness or excitement.
Notice whatever surfaces and do it again.
“Yes” is the micro-fuel of change. Each time you say yes, you are adding to the tank that propels you into something new and keeps you going.
