C
My nine-year-old son Leo was a picky eater who only liked chicken and yogurt. Encouraged by the movie Yes Day, before our Colorado ski trip last December, we agreed: we’d say yes to everything during the trip, including new food and experiences.
We started at the airport restaurant. I tried noodles while Leo had some vegetable salad. We didn’t go back for more, but both agreed our choices were “not bad”.
The next day, after arriving at the hotel, I took Leo to meet his snowboarding coach. While he was having his lesson, I skied alone. On the first day, I tried easy green runs(滑道). The next day, remembering how Leo faced his fear of heights to ride the chairlift, I challenged myself to a harder blue run. I went slowly down but felt proud for trying.
Later, I wanted to try the outdoor hot spa pool. It was -6°C, and Leo hated being cold and wet, but I reminded him of our promise. “The hot water felt surprisingly comfortable, and the cold air made me feel alive—though getting out was a great pain. It became a fun, fresh experience.” Leo said.
The trip taught us that small “yes” can bring us something unexpected. Since the trip, we’ve tried saying yes more at home. Leo now tries food like sushi while I’ve picked up old hobbies like painting. When we don’t want to change, we joke, “Remember Colorado?” and then start to take action.
Pushing past our comfort zones(地带) has helped us live fuller lives, even if it sometimes means ending up cold and wet.
