Thanksgiving travel disrupts routines and triggers stress. Instead of fighting it, the presenter suggests shifting your mindset to embrace the journey with love and compassion, noticing the stories you tell yourself about what's happening, and approaching family time as a chance to practice forgiveness and gratitude.
Good morning, everyone. Here is your Moment of Yes for today. This is a rare second take for the Moment of Yes because the last take meant the phone just got blown off the stand here. So this is take 2. So your Moment of Yes for today is— if the phone's shaking a little bit, that's because I'm holding it. Your Moment of Yes for today is, since this is the countdown to Thanksgiving and we have been pondering forgiveness and as we kind of get closer to the holiday, today Yeah. And the other thing I would say is as we think about sort of being out of our routine, traveling at the airport, in the car, on the road, staying with family, out of our normal routine, that's kind of when a lot of stress and anxiety and being crammed in with more people, it can be anxious. And obviously just when you're out of your comfort zone, that's when different Yeah. Stuff shows up. So as we embrace that, we notice the stories that show up about other people, about ourselves, about our past. As we notice those stories, and then as we just kind of get closer each day, whether it's the travel or whether it's the holiday itself, as we start to embrace the people we're going to be spending time with, as we embrace the process of going to the airport or being on the road, And start to just actually picture that in our mind and embracing the situation with love and compassion. And— The phone's wanting to leave me. And so as we start to just— as we think about it, just kind of shifting our thoughts, shifting our consciousness as we prepare for the travel, as we prepare for the trip, as we As we prepare for spending time with family, instead of just showing up and going, bam, here I am, now what do I do? So as we're out of our comfort zone, embrace that. As we start to think about the days coming up and everything that goes along with that, start to embrace that with, with compassion, forgiveness as well. That's your moment of yes for today. The phone did not break, and that I am grateful for. Have a great day, everyone.
