Not too bad

Although I said some ‘no’s in May, I’d said enough ‘yes’es. I felt great.
Bye bye May!

How to say "YES" more to experience more in May 2009
It made me
pleased
 "Positivity comes from positivity"
How I did it: I said 'yes' when I remembered and was positive. Said yes to boring things like helpig around the house, to going out, to drinks, to meeting up, to emails, entered competitions, products, also whims of my own. 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) |

Finito for May
6 months ago
Think I’ve been flagging on this a bit and have said no to quite a few things, yesterday I kept getting asked if I wanted coffee and had about 4 or 5 coffees in roughly an hour…odd…
Think I need to go back to being aware of this for the June goal :=) but all in all it worked as some good stuff came out of it: a social life, inordinate amounts of coffee, some work experience, driving lessons hmm not sure what else. But I got a bit lazy towards the last two weeks or so and didn’t want to say yes to things cos it was complicated and involved effort, also there were certain times when they were just asking out of politeness.
But here’s to next month!

Maybe we should make this a goal for June as well?
So far I’ve not done too badly: got driving lessons, am doing work experience and some volunteering and this month I actually had a social life although tailing off at the moment, I have said no to quite a few things…not sure what to do about keeping it up.

Think yeses also count as positivity and saying ‘yes’ to yourself, when you for instance think of something, consider it and then decide its a bit out there/or why would you do that?
So yeses should be something I say to myself as well.
I finally started a blog…which I have to figure out what I want to say on, I have loads of ideas -quite detailed, but they tend to be when I’m away from a computer/paper.
I re-started The Artist’s Way, which I’ve been meaning to do for ages.
I had a long pampering bath.
Re-said yes to some opportunities, which I thought I wouldn’t be able to do.
Started reading a Danish book, which I’ve been meaning to do for ages.

Said a big No to something today…blah although yes to some others, but the big no actually involved leaving the house and interacting with people whereas the little yeses didn’t.
Not sure of the ‘regulations’ on this either, on Saturday I was asked to go out with my family but had already said ‘yes’ to some friends, but then they all (but one) cancelled and changed the activity so I said yes to family instead…Should I have said yes to my friend instead? Probably would have been polite :) Ah the dilemmas of yesdom.
Here’s wishing lots of opportunities to say yes to the rest of the team!
