I have been actively saying yes to more things and things keep working out. Recently yes got me a job at oxegen even though I hadn’t applied. It also made me accept a shit job that turned out to be alright and I’m going to stick with it. I’ve learnt my lesson, yes works.
How to say yes more
How I did it: I started to say yes to things I would normally have brushed aside or said no to. I decided to make an extra effort to do things outside my comfort zone.
Lessons & tips: Do one thing you wouldn't usually do each day or week and build on it from there.

Bored, at home with my sister, I was telling her about this challenge, “yes, we should try the cinnamon challenge”. It’s funny. For anyone who is currently living by YES, are you going to try it? Google it if you don’t know what I’m on about.
Yes meant that I went for a walk one sunny day with a friend. “Yes, we should get a quick pint. Yes, one more, and another. It is ten O’clock but yes, let’s jump on the last bus to Dublin.” And it turned out to be an great night. Sex on the bus on the way down, whey! We ended up at a house party in a huge house by a canal in the countryside. The weather was perfect, the guys we met were so sound, and we had a pretty funny drive back home the next morning. Cool.
Was invited to Brighton around 5pm, jumped onto a train around 8pm, stayed for a couple of good nights out, visited the pier, met some cool people, lots of fun.

haha, believe it or not this goal was inspired by the movie yes man :p
after i saw it with my boyfriend, i thought about how much my life would change if i stopped turning down great opportunities so much. i realized, a lot of my unhappiness comes from the fact that ive become so introverted, & im listening to my other friends share memories of the awesome times that i wasnt apart of just because i ‘didn’t feel like going’. well, so far its worked out pretty damn amazing! i didn’t really want to go to my friend’s show two days ago. but i decided to say yes anyway, & im glad i did…even though the show itself was a little bit of a bust, my friends and i made it fun, dancing around nd being silly, which i love, & it really helped me to put things in perspective with a certain individual who i have stopped talking to [entries in goal 35!] , & it helped me further with moving on!
then last night, there was a party that i wasnt sure if i was going to be ‘up to’, but i said yes anyway, & once again, IM SO glad i went!!! it was such a great party, & i met sooo many amazing people there. some of them i have already made plans to chill with in the week :D plus, i laughed the whole night…a smile never left my face! it was completely worth it, & i think im sticking to this ‘yes’ thing for a while :p

the Saturday spin class my students want me to teach. they want me to teach a Saturday class in the morning. not my thing, but i should have said yeas just because i am lazy and should get up in the morning like normal people! I tell them yes on a start date in April.

I said yes to almost everything today, except for Indian takeout with my boyfriend. But today was easy cause very few of the things that were asked of me weren’t things I was going to do anyway. I almost said no to training a client at 9am cause it was to close to my own training, but then I realized that i was being lazy and said yes!
I find that I usually say no if I am scared or am being lazy, so that’s why i am going to say yes!
Wish me luck!
