Episode description

Hey there, Skeptic Metaphysicians family! I’ve got something fun—and maybe a little terrifying—to share with you. For the past few weeks, I’ve been secretly experimenting with something inspired by the movie Yes Man with Jim Carrey. I decided to say yes to every request (within reason, of course), and let me tell you—it’s been eye-opening.
 
Now, I want to invite you to join me in this adventure. Let’s do this together! I’m calling it The Yes Challenge, and here’s how it works: For just one day, you commit to saying ‘yes’ to whatever comes your way—again, within reason. No life-altering decisions or reckless risks, just a willingness to embrace opportunities you might normally turn down.
 
The catch? Keep it a secret. Trust me, the last thing you want is people testing your limits on purpose!

I truly believe stepping out of our comfort zones can open doors we never even knew existed.

So, are you in? If you’re up for it, shoot me an email, and we’ll coordinate a designated Yes Day together. Then, once it’s done, we’ll share our experiences—because I have a feeling this is going to be wild. Here's my direct email address: Will@SkepticMetaphysician.com
 
Let’s do this! Who’s ready to say yes?

Hey, there, it's will. I got a proposition for you. On a past episode with Pamela Downs, she talked about doing the Yes challenge. Right. This comes from the movie with Jim Carrey right where I think it was called The Yes Man, where he had to he challenged himself or forgot exactly what the details were, but for some reason he had to say yes to anything anyone ever asked him to do. What happened was extraordinary, right. His whole life became something incredible. Things change for the better

in every way possible. Now, I'm not suggesting that's what's going to happen here, but I can't tell you that I have started to try to do that as much as I can over the last couple of weeks, I wouldn't say I do try to say yes before I say no to anything that I am asked within reason. Right, So here is my proposing for you. I propose that we do a I want to say a national but whatever a skeptic of Physician's Yes Challenge. Here are the details.

Don't tell anyone that you're doing this, because if you do, you run the risk of someone taking advantage of you. Unfortunately, we live in a place where sometimes people like to take advantage of other people. Not in a mean spirited way, but you know, well, maybe now's my chance to get him to wash the dishes or whatever. Right, So don't tell anybody you might end up doing finding that you have to do things that maybe you're not comfortable with. Now.

I'm not saying that doing the dishes is not a good thing. It is. If you're not doing the dishes, go do them. I have to be better at that myself. I've got I've got to help more around the house. But I think this is what this is going to help me. So the goal is to, uh, if I absolutely can, I'm going to try to say yes to anything that anyone asks me to do for one day. One day, I'm going to do what Jim Carrey did in the movie. I'm gonna say yes to anything, to everything.

I'm not gonna tell anybody because I don't want people to know and take advantage of it. But I think what that's gonna do is it's going to open me up to all kinds of possibilities, things that I never considered, things that I never thought I would ever do, things that might have been afraid of. I'm going to try to do if someone asked me to do them, Because right,

growth happens at the edge of your comfort zone. We all know that this is going to be a way for us to have a reason to challenge ourselves to live outside of our comfort zones, to grow outside of that, to stretch our boundaries. So if you will join me one day of yes day, right, one yes day in your life, let me know, because what I want to do is I want to try to put together a support group so that we all kind of do this together. I'm not even telling Karen, right this is going to

be surprised to Karen too. After I do it, I will let her know. Hey, by the way, I just spent the entire day saying yes to you or to everyone who came at me. So if you want to join me in this challenge, let me know. Send me an email. I'll get it so that we keep it a surprise from Karen, and then we'll put together the little support group and we'll all do it together, and then we'll come back and we will exchange notes and maybe you can be on the show. We can talk

about it and see how our life changed. And if one day we do this for one day and it makes a noticeable change in our lives. Well, maybe we'll do a week, a Yes week, or maybe a Yes month. I don't know, baby steps, right, So this is it. This is the whole episode. I'm challenging you to do the Yes Challenge, the Skeptic Meta Physicians Yes Challenge. That means that for one day, you're going to say yes to anything that you are asked to do. There's no

nose allowed, obviously within reasons. And don't do anything that's against the law and or there or anything that's gonna hurt harm someone else or things like that. But our impulse should be yes before it's no, and let's see how life changes. All right, you want to be involved, give me an email. You can reach me at will at Skeptic Metaphysician dot com, or reach us through our contact us page at Skeptic Metaphysician dot com. Whatever it's easiest for you. Love to have you join us, So

please don't hesitate, reach out. Let's all do this together. Once I hear from enough people, I will announce I will respond to your email with the day that we're looking to do this yesterday, right. I don't want to announce the day right now, because people are listening and I might get some phone calls. I mean, I want so so email me, let me know that you're interested, and then when I get enough respondents, I will email out to you all and let you know the day

of our Yes Challenge. So are you up for it? You're up to the challenge. I'm not sure what to expect, but I'm excited. I'm nervous, but I'm excited. All right, Thanks so much for listening, Thanks for considering joining the Yes Challenge, and I hope to hear from you soon. Take care,
