• 3840: Slipping Out of Maybe AND The Yes and No Paradigm by Allison Carmen on Moving Beyond Uncertainty

  Discover all of the podcasts in our network, search for specific episodes, get the Optimal Living Daily workbook, and learn more at: OLDPodcast.com. Episode 3840: Allison Carmen invites us to shift from rigid expectations to the liberating mindset of Maybe, where uncertainty becomes a source of hope instead of fear.

Embracing Maybe opens the door to a life filled with possibility, even when plans fall apart. Read along with the original article(s) here: http://www.allisoncarmen.com/slipping-out-of-maybe/  &  http://www.allisoncarmen.com/the-yes-and-no-paradigm-2/ Quotes to ponder: "Maybe allows us to contemplate the possibilities of life unfolding in many different ways without feeling the need for action the very minute a problem confronts us." "Let Maybe allow you the room to breathe and stretch and open up to all that is possible." "Sometimes, however, the impulse to immediately decide 'yes' or 'no' to the everyday problems and situations that we face is more about playing it safe and clinging to certainty than it is about living life to the fullest."
