When we are looking to expand into all that we want to become in our lives + our careers, sometimes the path ahead can feel daunting + uncertain.
Our inner critic will convince us it’s safer to stay where we are, or even turn around, then to forge ahead on the unknown path.
But what if all it took to move forward was a simple inner mental shift?
Where instead of listening to the inner critic’s voice that says….
…I can’t, it won’t happen, it’s not possible, it isn’t here yet, so it must not be coming, etc.
What if, instead, we simply said YES to ourselves more often.
Here are 20 Things To Say YES To Today to get you going again on your path…
Today, I open myself up to my own expansion, give myself permission to elevate my life + career and….
1. I say yes to allowing in wonderful people who assist me at every turn.
2. I say yes to inviting in amazing opportunities that help me expand.
3. I say yes to my creative ideas, (even if they scare me).
4. I say yes to bigger and better roles in projects I love.
5. I say yes to making my living doing what I love.
6. I say yes to expanding that abundance beyond my wildest dreams.
7. I say yes to creating a life on my terms.
8. I say yes to putting myself first.
9. I say yes to taking amazing care of myself every day.
10. I say yes to beautiful relationships that fulfill me.

I love saying YES! It’s one of my favorite things to do in life. Everyone now and then I’ll have something that pops up and that little voice of caution pops up, but I acknowledge it and do what I feel is best. Thank you for the reminder to keep saying yes!
“Saying yes to getting out of my comfort zone”. That is HUGE for me. A year ago my husband and I moved our little family to Atlanta for our careers. We moved away from friends and family to follow our dreams. We moved away from a steady income and a 401k. It was the scariest yet bravest thing I’ve ever done. I still have those panic moments but it’s getting easier and easier. Best decision we’ve ever made.
Thank you Wendy
I will try that from now on
Awesome! Glad this helped you to try something new.
