Often we get so caught up in daily routines that we forget the excitement and possible serendipity which can occur from saying the word “Yes” when we would often have replied “No.”
The usual excuses come into play – I’m tired. I have to work tomorrow. I have to do laundry / clean house / catch up on sleep / etc. etc. I know this, because I’m very guilty of doing it more often than not. I forgot how fun saying Yes can be when saying No seems so much more convenient at the time. But…….life doesn’t happen quite as easily when you say No and let those excuses hold you back.
So this week (and hopefully a lot more often)…..
• Just say Yes •
Ignore any reason you may try to come up with and just say YES! Some of the best times of your life will come from saying Yes, so why not start now? Go have those drinks. Take that afternoon off and get a mani / pedi. Call that boy you met the other night for a dinner. Go see that movie you were invited to at the last minute. I think you might be surprised what happens when you say Yes a little more…

*Note: as I’m typing this it’s 11:32 on a ’school night’ – aka I have to work tomorrow – and I just got back from going out to a semi-last minute dinner and drinks with friends and having a great time. See…..saying Yes when you’d normally would say No can be a truly great thing sometimes ;)
