In 2018 my resolution was to say Yes to every invitation I was offered.
I said yes to all company events.
I said yes to all invitations from coworkers.
I said yes to all after work drinks.
I said yes to lunch dates.
I said yes to parties. Like real parties.
I said yes to everything I could.
No matter how scared and uncomfortable I was. No matter how much I would stress sweat. No matter how I wanted to throw up because I was so nervous, I said yes. And I couldn't bail last minute unless I was on my death bed.
In the beginning it was so hard to leave TheLittleBear. It was hard to go to events alone, with no safety blanket friend. But I sojourned on.
The results of my year of Yes is that I had the best year of my life! I met the most amazing people, and my yes' allowed our friendships to blossom.
Making new connections and getting to know new people, helped me discover new things about myself. It allowed me to shed my insecurities that I was unlikable and unlovable.
