It's hard, I know. One of my biggest problems has always been that I don't say yes to enough opportunities. I've been aware of this issue for a long time, and I've slowly started to make a change.
Some of the biggest things I've said yes to are:
1. Going to university. I was stuck in an endless loop of a shit future and I wasn't allowing myself to take this wonderful opportunity because I was scared for myself and worried about the impact on others.
2. Holidays. I am going on two holidays this year. I haven't been on holiday for at least 6 years. Partly because I never really had a friendship circle to go away with, and that I was always so concerned with money. Saying yes to these two holidays and commiting has made me happy as I have something to look forward to.
3. Socialising. I try to, whenever someone asks me to do something or see them, make the time and not say no over lame excuses. I haven't said no to a night out in a while, and I feel good for it. It's all about balance. I use to say no because I was frightened of staying out late and getting taxis on my own as I live away from my friends, I didn't want to waste my money and I felt like I could be doing more productive things. And now I say yes (within reason!) because I know I will have a good time and my other fears will resolve themselves.
Say yes to adventure. You won't regret it.
Do things out of the blue.
Drop your selfish ways and indulge in others.
It's easier said than done, I know. It's taken me a couple of years to get to this point and I've still got so far to go.
This was quite personal, so please be kind.
