In this short motivational video, the speaker introduces the weekly "Yes, And" challenge, using a recent travel experience through customs as a metaphor for how we can "declare" our intentions each day. He explains that just as travelers must declare goods when entering a new country, we can consciously choose what attitudes, emotions, and energies we bring into each new day—whether it’s frustration, sadness, love, compassion, enthusiasm, or any other quality. The speaker urges viewers to make intentional daily declarations about how they will show up, regardless of circumstances, and invites them to share their experiences in the chat, fostering a supportive community throughout the week.

Here is your YAC, your Yes and Challenge for the week. Last week, actually last few days of March, March 29th. Yeah, you're probably seeing this on the 30th, but the week of March 29th, your Yes and Challenge for the week. Be careful everyone, don't hit each other. So obviously yesterday was a long day of travel home, uh, 3 different airports. 3 different connections. And when you come back into the States and when you go from one country to the other, obviously you have to go through customs and you have to make your declarations. You have to declare what you are taking with you. What are you bringing with you? And I love that idea of you come into a new space and you have to declare, here's what I am bringing with me. So yesterday was great. I didn't have to declare anything. No goods, no food, no declarations from me. But if I had bought a lot of things over there, a lot of goods or food or different things, I would have to declare those and I would have to claim those and possibly have to pay for those. What I love about that idea of what do you declare, what declarations are you making, what are you bringing with you every day when we wake up? We get to declare. We get to make our declarations for the day. What am I going to bring with me into this new day? Am I going to bring the frustration and the sadness that I carried with me to bed that night? Or am I going to declare a fresh start? Am I going to declare a fresh perspective? Am I going to declare that I am all about love? I'm all about compassion. I'm all about energy. Enthusiasm, because I can declare that also. So every day, every moment as we go through the day, we have the opportunity to declare how I am going to respond to this situation, how I am going to show up right now. And we can declare anything, and we can bring all that baggage with us, or we can make a declaration of who you want to be at your best, who you want to be In this yes and moment, your excellent self. That's the and that we are yes anding. So today, every day this week, I want you to make declarations. Declare who you are. Declare how you are going to behave regardless of what happens. And if you have any good experiences with that, go ahead, message me or post them in the chat. Have a great week, everybody.
