While I’m cooking up longer episodes of SHINE, I had a thought I couldn’t let sit in drafts.
You know the improv rule “Yes, and…”?
Turns out… it’s not just for stage nerds and people in black turtlenecks.
It’s a life rule.
In this episode, I break down how “Yes, and…” is the secret to staying in a positive state without getting derailed by the usual nonsense — bad moods, bad news, other people’s chaos, and that tiny voice in your head that thinks it’s a life coach but is actually just scared.
When something good is happening in your life, most people go:
“Yeah, but…”
That’s where momentum dies.
That’s where flow gets choked out.
That’s where you start negotiating with your own joy like it’s a hostage situation.
Not here.
This is about how to keep the good rolling.
How to build on energy instead of interrupting it.
How to stop letting small negatives hijack big positives.
No toxic positivity.
No fake hype.
Just practical mindset shifts that help you stay in motion when life is actually going right.
Because the goal isn’t to avoid problems.
The goal is to not slam the brakes every time something good starts happening.
Let’s keep the scene going.
Yes… and.
