Say YES to Life

Dating tip #4: Say Yes! Did you ever see the movie 'Yes Man' with Jim Carrey & Zooey Deschanel? He agrees to say YES to everything for a year and his entire life transforms. When dating, say YES to new activities and meeting new people. If your life feels like work, scroll, gym, repeat for 5 days a week, with same old family & friends on the weekend, try a shake-up!

20 years ago, I was single and needed a shake-up, so I registered for the Chicago Marathon and ran with a charity group on weekends. I was hoping to meet a nice guy while running 🏃🏾. Turns out the charity running group was mostly women and a few wonderful gay men. But, one day, I was telling my co-workers about my running schedule and a cute younger co-worker said, "I am always up for a run." We started running together, as platonic friends….until we fell in love and got married. That was 20 years ago. Pic is of us running together 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏾this summer in Cappadocia, Turkey 🇹🇷 . Could your life use a shake-up?

If so, start saying yes. You don’t have to be Jim Carrey, but could you try to say yes to 1 new thing a week? a month? Could you start saying yes to new social engagements to fill your calendar with new people and experiences? It will make a difference- start saying yes today!
