My 82 year old Aunt gave me this advice last year. She said, “I say yes immediately when someone invites me to join them in something or go somewhere or try something new because otherwise if I say I’ll check my diary or get back to them, I’ll start over thinking it and I could talk myself out of it and then regret not experiencing it”. She added that at her age she wanted to carry on experiencing as much of life as she could.⠀
⠀
This is the mantra I want to live by. I am one of life’s over thinkers and easily talk myself out of getting involved in things - usually due to lack of confidence or fear of putting myself out there and potentially failing. This is something I am working on. So I will try to remember Aunty Anna’s advice and say yes more often.⠀

What are you going to say yes to today?⠀
