"Always Say Yes, Never Say No! How to Stop Saying No When You Want to Say Yes!"
When & Why?
Have you ever noticed how frequently we often say No?
I think most of the time. Saying No may sometime is refusal to fresh ideas, new
possibilities, new opportunities and the chance to make unexpected gains &
discoveries. Whenever you say “No” to life, you miss an opportunity, to
discover something new, to try something you haven’t tried before, to learn and
grow, to find some aspect of yourself or others that you missed before. There
might be untapped opportunities to know, grow and gain. It is a negative aspect
of saying No which debar your from life’s opportunities/discoveries/new
dimensions. Positive aspect of saying yes is living life fullest.
Let us explore some of the events/works/areas wherein
always saying yes will lead to a more enjoyable life.
1. Say
“Yes” to most adventure. Never say no.
Adventure is
good. You get connected with nature. You get thrilled when you see unseen
places, mountains, rivers, trees, birds, civilization and different ways of
life. If such offers are there, say always yes.
2. Say “Yes” to good
cause. Never say no.
Good cause and charity
things are opportunities to experience the cycle of giving and receiving.
Society receives help and reciprocate. You should say yes to all these
activities happening around you and beyond.
3. Say “Yes!” to community
fairs, fests and fashions. Never say no.
This is a great way to
meet people, interact with them, know them better and support the community
affairs/events.
Do you know
your neighbors properly? You might be living in the same apartment,
locality & town for years and you might not have opportunity to talk
to them freely. Here is the chance to interact and enjoy togetherness.
4. Say “Yes!” to talking
with new people. Never say no.
As children, it may not be
safe to talk to strangers. But as an adult, such avoidance can cost you some of
the most wonderful experiences of your life. People have made friends, found
future spouses, and made great business contacts by opening themselves up to
people in everyday experiences. Start with a smile—and if you get a smile
back—see if you’re inspired to spark something up. Even starting with the
weather can turn into a short heart-to-heart exchange that will brighten that
person’s day and bring happiness, belonging, too!
5. Say “Yes!” to
volunteering. Never say no.
Many minds & hands
make the work go faster! Organizations can’t function without volunteers. Many
activities and events wouldn’t be possible without volunteers. Volunteering can
also give you a new experience.
Lead volunteer efforts or
create your own volunteer opportunities and get connected with people. There
are many areas. Offer free tutoring at the library or offer your time to a
local nursing home. Your action may mean the creation of something new and
wonderful!
6. Say “Yes!” to the favor.
Never say no.
You do not want to
say yes to every favor asked. But think carefully before
you say “No.” If you can make the time and spare your some resources, you
can really make a difference in another person’s life, and it will come back to
you positively in one form or another.
7. Say “Yes!” to that awkward thing (that pushes your comfort
zone). Never say no.
Sometime we don’t want to
do it—it’s awkward! If it’s making you squirmy and it’s continuously nagging at
you, it’s probably time to take action. You’ll feel better when it’s done, and
you’ll have grown in the process. If this thing is a skill that you haven’t
gotten yet, practice, practice, and practice! And don’t be afraid to get some
help from others. Over time, the practice will become a part of you; you’ll
become a master, and you’ll be able to help someone else who is struggling with
the same thing.
8. Say “Yes!” to listening
to your body. Never say no.
What our body actually
needs, Say “yes” to your body’s needs—it knows best. How often do you
listen to your body? Look to the thoughts behind your cravings and learn to
differentiate between your emotional needs and physical cravings. Get to know
your body type and what foods and eating patterns work best for you. If you’re
craving certain foods, look at the nutritional content of those foods to see
what your body might be missing. Also, remember to chew slowly and try not to
multi-task while you eat. This will give your body the time and attention it
needs to communicate to you what it needs. Don’t neglect the body! Keep it
happy, healthy, and satisfied to ensure an enjoyable, fulfilling day!
9. Say “Yes!” to “me
time.” Never say no.
Few of us are very good at
giving ourselves “me time.” Too much obsessives, and over-achievers-.Extremes
can ruin your life. The key is balance .Putting in lots of hours can
look like a great service, but you’re doing no one a favor. Take some time
to think about the things that make you happy, just for you. Pick at least one
thing, one activity —no matter how small—and do it. Frequently! If not every
day, every week. Excitement is contagious! So find your passion, let yourself
go, and get re-energized with life! You’ll have fun, be happy, and you’ll
inspire others in your life to do the same.
10. Say “Yes” to outing.
Never say no.
This applies
to everyone. Don’t have a “break”? Take yourself out. You must love
watching movies, long driving & meeting with friends. Take some time out to
have fun and show some special attention to the ones you love.
11. Say yes to more things that are not your preference. Never say no.
Saying yes keeps you
in the flow, pulls for creativity, and makes it more fun. You’re not saying yes
that you approve of them, but—for example—yes it’s raining at my picnic, yes
people are poor and hungry across the planet, yes my career has stalled, , yes my
dear friend has cancer. Yes that’s the way it is. Yes to being in traffic. Yes
to the job you have. Yes to the body you have.
