Yes Man film left me inspired

I've just been to see the new Jim Carrey film - yes man. Apart from the fact it was hilarious, had me in stitches, I got a 'spiritual' gain from it too. Years ago I read loads of self help books so I was quick to get this side from the film and although done in jest it actually had a really good message, if one could only stop laughing!

But seriously it left me inspired, so I did a search on the net when I got home and found this website, and read about 'Joan' now although I'm different to her in that I love change, I am discontent and on edge like her. I have had alot of positive moving forward changes in my life in the last 2yrs so I should be on top of the world, but instead often I can be rather irritable and be in a constant battle with myself.

After watching the film and reading this website page, I realise that I need to start saying yes to not necessarily change and other people as I pretty mush do already, but I need to say yes to myself, and stop locking into a constant battle with myself. I, like everyone else have alot of things to do in my life, whether it be my studies, my housework, my social life (if I can remember what one is like!), my family, now I realise I've been saying 'no' whilst acting yes - this is my internal conflict! if I get things done then it's because I won the battle against myself and if I don't it's because I lost. But how nice would it be if I could embrace these things in life and say YES to them, therefore being in harmony...


Now I know this because I don't say no constantly, it'll depend on my mood, which I felt was uncontrollable, but now that I understand the conflict I hope to overcome this, so today is a new day, and I look forward to my challenges in personal conflict so i can put this stratedgy to purpose, just to add whilst I'm being honest with myself although I feel I say yes to others and situations already, I do get rather awkward if someone puts my back up even slightly - I pick up on negative energies too easily and respond with defensive force, so I aim to change this too, by saying yes and embracing.... Wish me luck!
