As a woman, it’s important that we learn to say “Yes”.
We all have fears and that’s totally natural. Sometimes you need time to figure out what you want to say “Yes” to!
But don’t hesitate too long. Saying “Yes” is powerful: It is where the divine feminine meets the universe, and gives us the ability to manifest all that we truly want and desire.
I spent much of my early life holding back. Even though I was raised to believe I could do anything, I often felt I didn’t know how to seize the opportunities around me. I wanted to say “YES”, even though so much
of the time I heard myself saying “NO”…. or what’s worse “I don’t know.” I didn’t know what I wanted, and I was scared to take the risk of saying “YES”.
After all, what’s the worse thing that can happen when we say “Yes”? Yes is a powerful, life-affirming statement. Try it: “Yes I want that”. “Yes I can do that!” ”Yes, I want more pleasure, more money,
more fulfillment.”
As women, there are many ways to say “Yes”.
1) Explore: Exploring is one way of saying “YES”! If you don’t know exactly
what you want, explore what’s around you! Find out what feels good, what looks
good, what brings you a sense of joy and excitement. Try out new clothes,
new flavors, a new haircut….
2) Create: Create something every day. This can be something simple
like creating an outfit that you want to wear out on the town, or creating
a playlist for yourself or a friend. Creating is a way of saying YES, and inviting possibilities into your life.
3) Write down what you really want: Journaling is a fabulous way to begin
manifesting your deepest desires. Be specific when you can. What do you want
to have? How do you want feel?
4) Be beautiful: I always find that when I look good, I actually start to feel better.
I’m saying Yes– I’m beautiful, sensual and I’m ready for life. Wear your favorite
earrings, treat yourself to a a long bubble bath, splurge on a new nail polish or
something that makes you feel sexy and ignite your Frenchie! (This doesn’t
have to be expensive: Something fun and playful will do just fine!)
5) Don’t set limits: So many of the women I know immediately talk themselves
of their dreams and desires. Don’t set so many limits! Imagine what you want to
be when you grow up (yes, even if you’re already grown up!) and imagine them fully.
6) Follow your instincts: This comes down to trust. Trust yourself to imagine
what you want. Eventually you will start actually manifest
what you want.
7) Ask for help: Saying yes sometimes means asking for help. Your Indie
requires asking for help sometimes! Find mentors. Seek out the company
of other Elegant Femmes. Read books that help you discover more about yourself.
8 ) Challenge yourself: Your New Yorker wants a challenge! Find opportunities
to engage in healthy challenges. Maybe that’s taking a hot-flow yoga class for
the first time, maybe it’s setting a goal to save more money, looking for a new job,
or doing something that excites (and maybe scares you just a little bit!)
9) Finally, make a choice: If you don’t want to say “Yes” to something,
then by all means say “No.” Saying No is actually a way we can allow room
in our lives for other ideas and feelings to manifest.
