This book and movie, Yes Man, changed my life. The idea is simple (but not easy): say “Yes” more often and see what opportunities, adventure, and joy come your way! A fun way to demonstrate the CBT principle that changing your behaviors can help improve your mood and your life. Saying “Yes” is clearly not the cure for depression, but it’s a step!
We’re all facing difficult times. In California, we’re struggling with the RE-closure of shops, salons, restaurants, etc. This is taking a toll on our moods for many of us. Even in the middle of this pandemic, see if you can find opportunities to say yes, and see what happens. I’d love to hear about it!
FUN FACT: 1. Jim Carey said yes to the movie without a salary. He agreed to a percentage of the movie’s profits instead. It certainly paid off.
