Breathe in and raise your vibration!
Breathe out and release your resistance!

Relax your body.

Breathe in and say yes to what is.
Breathe out and make peace with what is.

If you’re ever in a bad mood, or even just feeling low energy, start saying yes to what is. And by accepting what is, you will allow fresh energy to flow through you. You will let go of the blockages holding you back. You will make peace with what is. And your life will turn around!

Breathe in and say yes to what is!
Breathe out and welcome what is.

This is especially effective for me when I wake up in the morning, and I feel overwhelmed or irritated. I say things like, “Yes I’m overwhelmed by what I have to do today. Yes I’m irritated by dishes left in the sink. Yes I’m annoyed that I have to clean up this mess. Yes I’m irritated that I have to do chores. Yes I’m dreading my to do list today. Yes I’m crabby. Yes I’m in a bad mood. Yes I’m disappointed in myself. Yes I want to feel better. Yes I’m breathing in. Yes I’m breathing out.” And so on. Narrate your thoughts and how you feel, by saying yes to them. And gradually, over the course of a half an hour to an hour, you’ll be free of all of that negativity that was weighing you down. Just by acknowledging it, looking at it, accepting it, and letting it go.

Breathing out I’m welcoming what is.

When you face the unpleasant, like negative emotion or negative thoughts, things you’re dreading—when you face those things, they lose their power, and they float away. They go back into the abyss from where they came.

Breathing out I’m welcoming what is.

You can use this tool all day every day. “Yes I’m walking down the sidewalk. Yes I’m looking at the lake. Yes I’m looking at a mailbox. Yes I’m noticing people walking by. Yes I’m crossing the road.” Whatever you’re doing, say yes to it. Narrate what’s happening right now in this moment. It’s a trick to become present. And when you’re present, everything is fun and there’s nothing to worry about. It gets you out of your head and into this moment, where everything is perfect and in its place.

Breathe in and get out of your head today!
Breathe out and feel your body welcoming you back into it!

Today is the best day of your life! And you can have fun all day! Just by saying yes to the unpleasant. Yes to the feelings. Yes to the thoughts. Just acknowledge them and then you can move on and they don’t have to build up inside of you.

Breathing in I’m saying yes to what is.
Breathing out I am loving what is!

When you say yes to all of these little details, all the little things that irritate you or make you crabby, it lets those things move on. And it makes space to reveal the love that’s inside of you. Once you’ve gone through making peace with the things annoying you, you’ll notice you suddenly have love for the people around you, the things around you. You’ll have compassion. All of the natural, joyful emotions inside of you that are your core are revealed when you acknowledge the stressful waves on the surface of your consciousness.
