I've been thinking a lot about how to say yes to all those things I want to do or how to say yes to things that I might normally think are not for me. As I get older, I keep thinking about how there's no time to waste. If I want to do something, then, really, just do it. Make it happen or at least don't be afraid to try it out.
Case in point #1: Yoga
A few years ago a colleague invited me to a yoga class at work. Even though I can barely touch my knees, I decided to try it. And, surprise! I loved it. Ever since then I've been thinking about how I should try it again, but I've always found a reason not to go. Until now. This week I finally got my act together, called a local yoga studio, and showed up for a yoga foundations class. I bought a new member package (6 sessions for $50) and got started. Done and done. And, after class the instructor even told me I had good form and asked me if I was a dancer (ha!). So glad I finally did this!
Case in point #2: Skinny jeans
Me in skinny jeans? No way. Really, I mean NO WAY. My body image issues and skinny jeans just do not go together. At all. Until a few weeks ago when I decided to try on a pair of (red!) skinny jean cords at Loft during one of the afternoon 50% off flash sales. Magic happened. Truly. I liked them. (Is this really me talking here?) They fit and looked ok, so I bought them, and I LOVE them. I feel amazing and confident in them. And now I'm just waiting until the next big 50% off sale to grab a pair of regular skinny jeans too. (Make your own skinny jeans.)
Lesson learned: say yes once in a while. You might be surprised.
