Selina Davis:

Hey, It's your girl Selina Davis host of Butt-Naked wisdom coming to you with another episode and this is a round off for our Be bold series. And today we're going to be talking about saying yes, yes, I did say say yes. And I'm not talking about the general yeses to every request that you get and every demand that comes your way and every, you know, thing that is thrown at you, I'm not telling you to say yes at that, I'm telling you to say yes to yourself. I'm telling you to say yes, you can have whatever it is that you want for yourself. And you can say yes to treating yourself, you can say yes to feeling great. You can say yes to spending time to yourself, you can say yes to so many things that are for yourself, and help you feel great about yourself. And I've had to learn that. And I think it's very, very hard for us to say yes to ourselves, because we don't feel as if we are worthy of it. We don't feel as if we deserve it. We don't feel as if we, you know, have done enough to maybe except the yes for our own personal lives. And if we don't say yes to us, then why are we complaining about other people not, you know, treating us the way we want to be treated? Why are we complaining when others see us in our in our lowest form? Because we are not putting our highest form out there? Why are we offended when people potentially say things that may hurt us because we're not putting our full selves out there because we're afraid of what other people are going to say and how they're going to view us and all of that great stuff. So I think it's really important that you really think about this thing about saying yes, yes, is just our way of saying that we are worthy that we are deserving on what it is that we want from our lives, and I deserve to be happy. So I'm saying yesterday, I deserve to take care of myself. And I'm saying yesterday, I am going to, you know, say yes to building up the skills that I need without feeling guilty, I'm going to say yes, to switch off when I need to switch off, I'm going to say yes to myself, because I feel that is something that I need to do, because I've never done it in my life. And I now I'm in a position where I want to really project a better version of who I am for myself. And this is not for other people. I don't live by the opinions of other people. I don't live thinking, what are they going to say how they're going to feel? I have learned that all of that self talk, all of those conversations that we have, in our own mind, are just fabricated, created conversations that hold us back. And we have to nip that in the bud, we need to deal with it. And we need to move forward. And you know, I really look at life in a way that if I don't do these things, or take the time to do the things today, will this make me happy in the next couple of years? Do I want to be in the same situation? Will I be content with how my life is if it is repetitive over the next 10 years. And for the most part, if I'm honest with myself, I'm going to say no, I would not be happy being in the same place. And I don't think you should be happy remaining in the same place. Unless this place that you're in right now makes you feel happy. And in 10 years time, you are not going to have any regrets and you're going to absolutely love life the way you do today that you will do in 10 years time from now. And I think we have this ability now, to be more aware that with the lockdowns that have happened, the quarantines that have happened, there's so many things that can control we believed we were in control of. And now we have this entity of life that is now controlling us in a different way that we can't do the things that we used to do, as freely as we used to do them were extremely cautious. were extremely, you know, withdrawn within ourselves, you know, we're not communicating as we used to. And I've come to a point where I'm actually bored of communicating to my screen, I'm actually bored of emailing people and I actually want to start speaking to people more because I think we get so droned into this computer world in this digital world that we lose this human connectivity of conversation and speaking and I'm gonna say yes, so if you receive a phone call from me, because I now want to start speaking more, but ultimately I am making some yes changes in my life. And those Yes, changes mean that some people may not like where I'm going and it may not work for everyone, and it may not be accepted by everyone and that is not directly my concern. What my concern is, is that I am a great human being and that I do love my brothers and sisters and I do have loving my heart. So Nothing that I will do would be of malice towards other people. But ultimately, I'm taking some time to actually start looking at who I am. Whether it means I need to go to therapy to start speaking about some of my past issues or current issues, whatever it may be to be intentional about my life, I'm saying yes to becoming a much better version of who I am. And I, I hope that as we journey together, you guys will also say yes to yourself, say yes to the things that will allow you to become better versions of who you are, so that you can enjoy life in this moment. And I'm not saying that life needs to be right now you know, you have all the money in the world that you are living in your best life is in your home and your relationships, etc. No, I'm saying in your present moment right now be can be happy with who that who you are, because you are allowing yes moments in your life, you are allowing moments that you are happy with that when you look at this day, you know, in a couple years time, you are happy that you made those decisions in this moment. So I hope that you can really take some time to say yes to yourself, love on yourself, you know, spend some time with yourself, spend some time with your loved one, do the things that will cultivate a much better version of your environment and of who you are, so that you can grow and learn and love and just be an infectious person for other people. And I think that our lives are so crammed into our own lives and we're so tunnel visioned on my life, my life, my life. And you know, these are the issues of my life, my life and you know, everything is going wrong in my life, my life that we don't even look outside, we don't even look at other people. We don't even see that our lives are not as bad as we think we've just created this drama of hectic mayhem in our minds that we don't see our lives in any other way apart from what our brain is telling us. So I want you to start saying yes to yourself, start saying yes in an area that require the Yes. And as you know, we can say no to the areas that don't help towards us becoming who we need to be. So God bless you guys speak to you soon as we could become bold, and much better versions of who we are. God bless you speak to you soon on our next episode, and I'm out
