say yes more

said yes to a friend’s invite to karate. Had no idea what I was doing as I’ve never done it before, but had a great time and experienced something new!

Well, this weekend, Saying Yes More led me to a brilliant birthday party in Nottingham, and arrangements to go to London in a couple of weeks time to watch the 1st England match in the World Cup. Going well!

I’ve finished Yes Man! What a great book- really funny in places.

Well, I’ve started reading Yes Man, and I’m really enjoying it! Stupid as it might sound, I do find it quite inspiring – just think of all the opportunities out there if you just say Yes! I’ve started putting it into practise already – I’m making a conscious effort to agree to stuff I’d normally put off or just say no to.

Well, I finally got Yes Man for my birthday, so bring it on! “Yes” is the way forward!

I need to start making more of an effort to say yes without thinking so much about money, or time, or whatever. I was asked out the blue to go to a gig last week, with no prior warning, and before I knew it, I’d said no just because I didn’t think I could afford it, and didn’t really know the guy that had asked me. I wish I’d said yes! Oh well. You live, you learn, I suppose. Next time a random man asks me to go and see Kanye West, I’ll definatly say yes!

A friend of mine who lives in London emailed me the other day to say he’ll be in my neck of the woods on Friday, and do I want to meet up for a few drinks. Normally I’d say no as I’m going out on Saturday night and sadly I can’t handle getting completly hammered 2 nights in a row like I used to, but I have said yes anyway! Drunkeness here I come!

read “The Yes Man” – hopefully this will inspire me!
