When was the last time you said yes to something that you were scared of but still enjoyed? In sixth form I said yes to meeting my friends outside of school this was the first and last time I had been invited to something but I enjoyed it. It was scary, but I liked talking to some people. I don't like large groups of people, I like talking to a few people. This is one of my happiest memories. Recently I have defaulted to saying no to things because it is easier it doesn't fit my plans but I think I need to start saying yes to things even if I think I won't enjoy them, who knows what might happen.
I was invited to go sledging over the weekend. Every fibre of my being wanted to say no, but I forced myself along and had a good time. I've taken this attitude more in 2023 and it's had some very positive results.
So cool - no pun intended. I have never been sledging but it's one of those things I'd really love to do. We don't get any snow here so it's highly unlikely I'll ever experience it unless I move North.
Maybe go to an indoor skiing centre or some such. We get very little snow in Manchester but this one let us go for it! There is a big ski slope called the Chill Factore, but I've never been.
