Raise Your Bar: The Power of Yes
Every one of us lives with a ceiling, a belief ceiling.Some ceilings are lower than others. Beyond thatceiling is all that is not yet known to us -- all thepossibilities of possibilities. Raising our bar takesconscious awareness and embracing new experiences.Here is an experience that will inch your bardelightfully and positively higher. The exercise isn'thard to understand, hard to learn, nor hard tocomplete. Yet, you do need to approach the exercisewith a child-like openness, maybe even a few giggles,and allow the harvest of your labor be its ownjourney. Everywhere and in everything that we do we hear no, no,no and more noes. No on going over a certain speedlimit. No to what we eat. The noes keep piling upincluding how we pay taxes -- now that's another storythat could get each of us going. The noes don't seemto ever stop. With so many noes appearing in our life,it is easy to get stuck in the muck of noes. To raise the bar so that more miracles can enter, weneed to hear yes. We need to add more yes into ourlife to counterbalance the noes to get out of the muck.After sending the question, "How do I add more yes intomy life?" into the universe for an answer. The answerfell from my bookshelf as I was pulling out anotherbook. The miniature book was age stuck to its side."The YES Book," by Christine Christakos and SusanSaucedo. If my memory serves me correctly, I metChristine or Susan ten years ago at an event when thebook was first published. The book is a list of yesaffirmations that these ladies use. And it gave me a delicious idea. So I tried out myidea first on myself and then with clients. Now Iwould like to share the idea, how it grew, and the treetrimmings. As I mentioned earlier, don't be fooledwith its simplicity. You will find it very powerful asthe rest of us have. Remember, I said it was simple but you still need tocomplete the exercise to receive the benefits. Start and end your day with YES affirmations. Beginyour journaling exercise with them, or record on Post-It notes. Begin each exercise by writing the word,YES, in caps at the top of each page. Be creative withthe YES, make swirls and twirls with colors and design.Write it once or write it many. I enjoy just writing apage of YES is all sort of creative styles. Whatevertweaks my Twinkie at that moment. All the affirmations begin with yes. The yes can be atthe beginning of the sentence or many yeses written allover the page. It doesn't matter. Yes, I can write well.Yes, I matter in this world.Yes, I love animals.Yes, I am a writer.Yes, I can be rich.Yes, I am rich in many ways already.Yes, I can be a millionaire.Yes, I love my children.Yes, I love the changing of leaves. Or create a list of yeses without place yes as thefirst word. Remember, there's no exact right and wrongway, just the YES way. Yes? This too shall pass.The sun is out.I am in the flow.I have lost one pound.I did write today.I do walk my talk.Life is infinite. Use whatever is occurring in your life at the time.Whatever your focus could be. If you are blank startwith the weather. If you are thinking even broader,write that down as well. Create a freeing experiencein order to raise your bar and rebalance the noes thatweight down our shoulders. Well...I kept my promise. This exercise is simple tounderstand, simple to learn, and simple to complete.Okay, the last one takes a little more effort thansimple because you are learning to shift your thinkingfrom the societies murky depths of noes. Challengeyour inner voice to this exercise all day long. Whenwe hear no turn around and restate the phrase in yes.You can even mumble yeses as you drive. Every one of my clients and myself has experienced newceilings, new miracles, and many new experiences justby re-balancing our lives with YES. The exercisebatted one thousand for all of us and it will for youtoo. This is just one of those experiences that youneed to try it in order to believe it. (c) Copyright 2005, Catherine Franz.
