Saying yes to...
Start the year the week the month with positivity...
Make a list of all the things you are going to say yes to in 2024. To start the process do some reverse psychology and list all the things you are going to say no to.
Please find examples below:-
Saying no to...
- Nights out I would not enjoy
- Eating badly
- Eating at my desk
- Not having a daily purpose or plan
- Being around negative people
Saying yes to...
- Running twice a week
- Attending Park Run when I can
- Saving money each month
- More holidays/travel
- Walking everyday
- Journalling everyday
- Looking further ahead - planning work/socials
This is a good exercise to do with your partner and see if there are some things that you can share and work with each other. Having an accountability partner can help with the motivation to keep going.
Keep the list on your phone so you can check-in and add to it. As the year unfolds you may well nail some of the "Yes" list and they become habits and rituals, therefore remove them and add new ideas.
The no list needs to be monitored for slippage, and also may have additions as the year unfolds.
Values drive behaviour so think about if your values are being crossed this may mean an addition to the no list. For example if you value honesty and you have a relationship with a supplier that does not, they maybe added to the no list.
We can add to the yes list by letting our values drive our behaviour to positive outcomes. For example if you value learning and you have a colleague who does as well, you could add them to the yes list as a learning buddy.
Say yes more in 2024.
