30 Days of YES
Day 10
Hello Day 10!
Can you believe it? We are breaking double-digits with our 30 day commitment – so give yourself a pat on the back for all of you hanging in there! If you have missed a day here or there – so what – get back on the YES horse!!!! Speaking of which – I would love to offer a free conference call sometime next week as a way for people to get on a call together and just share inspiration and insights. We could have the call near the 15 day mark – which would be a nice midpoint check-in. I could set up the call for whoever can make it – and it would be great to hear from you all, get inspiration, and connect with the YES Community. So, let me know if this sounds interesting to you. Send me your feedback!
Great job Hollister!!!!
Day 10: Takin the bull by the horns!Okay – I haven’t heard from many of you these past few days because I know these two exercises really had us in a reflective and deep space. That is good. But today – we’re stepping out of the space and into action. Your Day 10 activity is to choose at least one of your fears – and take it head on. Again, this is about your individual journey – your individual growth. Do something that stretches you into your YES zone. Then, when you are done – reflect on the experience. This is key!!!
What happened?: Like the haikus – you need to share with the community what you did. Again, whether you post it in the blog, on Facebook, or e-mail it back to me – you need to share this experience in the community! No step is too small.
Final thought: I am so grateful and blessed by all of you. This little fun activity has sparked something in my heart – and I can’t stop thinking of ways to do more with it. Thank you for jumping aboard and being an early adopter In the spirit of “The Tipping Point” I am hoping some of you will be mavens and connectors as well. You all are the best!
Have a great Day 10. YES on!!!!

Good job, sis! A little prettier to look at than Travis. ;)
I have had a fear of being too happy - ridiculous isnt it? I am a happy person, but after much thought from this program I have realized that I am afraid to show the world my true happiness. Well I am going to face that fear head on and make sure that I allow myself to show all who I come into contact with, my happiest self - thanks for helping me open up!
Hello everyone! I am enjoying my yes zone and am quite excited about it. Almost every assignment has met me on the perfect day. For example, day 4 was exercise day and I had already taken a nice run in the abnormally warm weather we are having before I noticed that was the assignment. Day 5 I wasn't feeling so hot so I decided to take a day of prayer and do my best to devote my thought to God; then I watched the video for that day and realized I had already done that! I am keeping a journal to record my thoughts which I like a ton! On day 8 I liked listing my fears because I found myself counteracting them as I wrote them out.
All I can say is keep the days coming because I am loving this!
One of my haikus:
The sun will always
Rise when the moon disappears
God made it that way
Hugs to all,
Ashton
So- I had to face a fear this morning that I didn’t put on my list- not really realizing that I had…
Driving in snow!!
I stepped out my front door and totally ate it this morning on ice. OW! What a shocker…it took me a moment to collect my thoughts and get Peter to come get me back on my feet! SO I had to work to trust that I could be out there on the roads. My daughter said that we weren’t supposed to go out since I had fallen- that was my sign. So I just dug deeper into the Bible lesson- appreciating the cartoon about overcoming fears like sharks in the water- and just took the wheel by the horns and did it…of course- we were only going 3 miles an hour max on the roads today- so it wasn’t really bad at all…
Yahoo- now for one on the list!
I was amazed to see what happened when I faced my fears - when I took a look at them and got to know them. As I pondered and wrote down how they would make me feel, I watched them dissolve into affirmations - all of them! No more mountains in my path.
One of my fears was to post my haiku. I'm not really sure what makes a poem a haiku so I felt stupid and thought people would make fun of me. But here's what I wrote.
Inventory on Day 7
On percentage, a success
Learning self-worth
LOVE THE YES!!!!
each assignment has been doable, fun, stretching and promoting stillness and noticing which I Love!
BRAVO HOLLISTER, way to take it straight up!!!
Totally into the conference call, would be great to unite and hear each other.
Liked the second option, (one on the right) for your site name;)
Like the writing and the thought that a crew is out there doing the assignments with me;)
So ooo, one of my fears was to sing outloud, I don't know how to read notes and thus in public sing quietly... no problem singing loud on my own - but want to step out there with freedom and thus attended a meeting last night where there was singing and I sang out as best I could which felt nice;)
I like really looking at the fears and thinking about them and how I want to consciously tackle them, counteracting them as Ashton did and expecting release and answers of how to drop them!
BIG THANKS for this natural way to stretch myself and extend community of like-minded support!
XXOO,
S
I know you want to hear from me, been hard to put my thoughts to
paper..but here goes..
writing fears...easy..how I would feel
if I weren't afraid not too bad...but take one on...well there wasn't a lot
of movement on that. So some progress.
I will say that these writings has opened
up to me threads to my anger which I believe below all anger is
fear. So I could see where I have
blamed other people for the fears I have...and if only they would do this
or that my fears would gone.....but
that's not facing them, just pushing
them off on another....they must be
faced sometime why not now.
Yes the place in between the bars
is where the greatest growth happens.
Another thing I'm learning is about
feelings...that's all they are..they don't
control..God does...he is working his
purpose out, stay still, allow God to do
his work.
Well hope you see some light going on
here I do...and for this I'm very grateful.
30 days of YES...may we all begin to
see ourselves free and open ourselves
up to what each day brings us.
Forever grateful for you.
I realized that all my fears were results of some weird insecurity or another...the one I struggle with the most right now is that my friends don't actually like me...how strange is that? I think in our quest to be perfect humans, we start to only see flaws and things that could be better. But I am realizing that this means I am really holding back, and allowing this fear to color my thought about my friends. Assuming they are thinking negatively about me. I am really not sure how/when this happened, but I obviously need to look at it more closely. I am actually shocked at how much this scares me. Wish it was as easy as 'fear of heights' or something like that. But this is helping me to say "yes" to dealing with a bigger issue I have been avoiding. Thanks all.
Hello. Just letting you know where I am even if I do see you almost every day and you might know where I am, here is a response to how "yes" is treating me. Still great! Loving it. I am excited to go through the activities every day. Day 10 activity was unexpectedly stopped due to weather issues. I was going to drive to my "yes" destination and didn't think I should be getting into a car accident due to icy roads. However, that doesn't mean that my determination has ceased. I will simply do all I can without using a car and continue my quest for yes! As soon as the roads look clearer, I will finish my day 10. In the mean time, I will proceed with day 11! Yes!
Ashton
