Your Year of "YES!"

Shonda Rhimes, the brilliant mind behind Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal and How to Get Away With Murder, gave an awesome Ted Talk titled ‘My Year of Saying Yes to Everything’.  In the talk she shares how she tried an experiment for one year: 

she would say yes to everything that scared her. 

Anything that made her nervous, took her out of her comfort zone, she forced herself to say yes to. 

Can you guess what happened? By doing this she overcame her fears, everything she previously found scary was suddenly not so scary anymore. 

Her fear of public speaking, her social anxiety, it was all gone. The word “Yes” changed her life.  

Think about what “Yes” can do for you this year. What are some of the things that you have been avoiding or saying “No” to, could this be the year when you flip the script and face your fears? 

Make this year, your year of “YES!”

Rooting for you,
