How I did it: I said 'yes' when I remembered and was positive. Said yes to boring things like helping around the house, to going out, to drinks, to meeting up, to emails, entered competitions, products, also whims of my own.

Maybe a yes 'diary', daily would help a bit more though as I petered out towards the end.

Lessons & tips: Try keeping a yes and no diary (lol) records how well you did, but also the opportunities that you may have missed out on. Don't say yes to things that put you in danger or make your skin crawl, only to things that maybe push you a little outside your comfort zone (or a lot) or are a variation on what you usually do. The idea is to be more open to opportunities and in turn be more positive and feel more positive. :)

Resources: Yes Man the film (although the premise is pretty simple)
