And in the beginning, I really was afraid to say no.

After I decided to say yes, I started to be afraid to say no because what if I was missing out on something?

And then you just, I started to realize like these no's, you have to learn how to say yes to saying no.

These no's are not there for you to say yes to.

They're not going to help you at all.

There definitely were.

I mean, what was great about the year of yes and making that pledge was it gave me just a framework.

Yes.

You know, it gave me rules to live by.

I was going to say yes to everything that scared me for one year.

When the year was over, I could go back to being myself almost in my head.

Having that framework helped.

But then you start saying yes to things and you're there.

And I would be thinking like, I'm having a terrible time.

Like, this is not, I don't even know why I'm doing this.

Or I'm, you know, joining people at this party and I don't like anybody here.

Even small things like that.
