☺ Inspirational: Be a Yes Person!☺

This week's "Motivational Monday" post is something a little different, but it is the best piece of motivation. 

So many opportunities and experiences pass us by because we say "No". Saying "No" is a means of sheltering ourselves from the world. But this kind of living is not really living at all. We get trapped by habits, the comforts of the walls of our home, the "security" of a dead-end job. We stop venturing, exploring, and experiencing life altogether. Stop saying No! Stop hiding from the world. Stop sleeping through life.

Start Living! Start saying "Yes!"

"Yes" can lead to so many wondrous undiscovered joys in life. "Yes" connects you to the world, allowing you to meet new people and have new experiences. There are limitless experiences right under our noses that we let lie undiscovered by our sleeping lives. By saying "Yes" doors open, life opens up and leads you on a deeper journey. Most importantly, "Yes" brings fun, joy, and happiness. "Yes" is waking up and finally living. "Yes" is being the fullest extent of your Self. It is discovering the world. It is stepping out of your comfort zone, stepping out of habits, out of the "norm," to discover something new, fun, wondrous, crazy, and fantastic.

Stop making excuses for yourself. Whether it's laziness, shyness, being too reserved, over-thinking, over-analyzing, questioning, talking yourself out of things; Stop! 

We tend to be very reserved from stepping out of our Comfort Zones, leading us to say "no" to invitations and new experiences. Who wants to feel uncomfortable? Or disappointed? Or any emotion provoked by fear? Let fear, expectations, and the unknown go. Get comfortable with the uncomfortable. Remember, it's all about your attitude! Get excited, thrilled, and jump at new opportunities and invitations. 

Don't be satisfied with just being content or okay. Don't be satisfied with just going through the motions of the every day week. Don't settle for anything less than amazing. Get a little crazy, get adventurous and spontaneous. Life is waiting right here for you to fully experience, explore, and enjoy it. 

I invite you to say "Yes;" to living, to life, to awakening. Take this week to say Yes to absolutely everything. You want to actually enjoy your life? Stop taking it so seriously, stop over-analyzing every little situation, stop talking yourself down. Make "Yes" your automatic and immediate response. Go on, step out of your Comfort Zone! No more making sad excuses for yourself! And then kicking yourself for missing out on something, or feeling sorry for yourself because your life isn't exciting. You have to make it exciting! You have to be willing to get out there. You're missing out on life while you sit there refusing to climb out of that boring little bubble. 

Say Yes! Say it right now. Say it all week. Say it for life. 

Throw "no" and "maybe" our of your vocabulary. When asked or invited to something let the word "Yes" flash automatically into your head. And allow "Yes" to be met with confidence and enthusiasm. Get pumped! Get stoked! Get excited! 

Life is waiting for you to live it. No more being alive without living. Go for it! Say Yes! Become a Yes Person! The only thing you've got to lose is that mundane way of living that should be left behind. Be open, be welcoming, and seek out new adventures and experiences! 

It's not just about saying "Yes" to everything, it's about experiencing life to the fullest, and about getting pumped and excited about the day! It's about Living! 

Lastly I will say, watch the movie "Yes Man" for an extra motivational kick. It rocks and it is exactly what I am talking about right here. ;) 

Peace & Love,

☺ Inspirational; "Life Begins at the end of your Comfort Zone" ☺

I love this quote (by Neale Donald Walsch's Friendship With God ) and the lesson behind it can be incredibly liberating. 

I'll get more into the book itself  in another post, I know that some people are weary as soon as the name "God" comes into any dialogue. Just know that the book is amazing whether you believe in God or not. 

Anyways...

The concept of today's post is really quite simple; step out of your comfort zone and you'll discover a Life you've been missing out on. You'll like what you'll find.  

Life is about new experiences, but we tend to resist anything new or different, or even try to go running in the opposite direction all-together. 

Do something uncomfortable for a change! Life gets very stale if you stick to your habitual routine and activities and never wander from them. The Human brain needs growth and stimulation, routines stifle that life and, more importantly, can prevent happiness. Do you really think that people who lock themselves up in their little bubbles are truly happy? I mean Genuinely Happy? Unless you're some sort of strange super human, probably not. We are Human Beings and we require Being  in order to keep our lives wonderful and happy. 

Almost everyone has their own comfort zones that they would rather stay in. Break those walls! 

Step out of your Comfort Zone! Do something totally spontaneous and do something for you. Try taking up any opportunity that presents itself to you even if it may not sound particularly appealing. At least you'll have tried it for yourself and it will be a new experience to grow from regardless. Try New things! Put yourself in a situation that intimidates you, one that may make you feel a little tense at first. Do it and let go of your mind; allow yourself to ease into any situation. Be observant and open to it. Embrace it and Be with it. 

You'll be suprised by the fun you might be missing out on. Don't be so resistant. Go with the flow. Let go of your pesky mind and reserves and just jump in and go for it! What's the worst that could happen? Any experience is a good one so long as you have the right attitude. Be adventurous and have some fun!

Learn to not be so uptight, it's a key in learning to step out of your comfort zone. Go ahead, be shameless! Stop caring what others think! Be a goof and be ridiculous! Bust out a dance move in the middle of the grocery store, sidewalk, or wherever public you might find yourself today. This I am challenging you as a Must for today! Learn to be comfortable with Yourself and others will be too, and you'll learn to be comfortable doing just about anything. 

Purposely step out of your comfort zone at least once a week. You know, live a little! ;) 

Peace & Love
