Tips On How to Say Yes More Often
- Start by saying 'yes': When you say 'no,' you're telling someone that you don't want to do something. If you're going to say 'yes' more often, then you should start by saying 'yes.' You can start by saying 'yes' to simple things like 'yes, I'll help you with your homework. You can also say 'yes' to something you're not sure about or might not want to do.
- Be specific: You don't need to give a yes answer to everything. Saying 'yes' to everything is a waste of time and energy. Instead, you should only say 'yes' to things you're interested in or want to do.
- Don't overcommit yourself: You don't want to say 'yes' to too much at once. It means that you won't be able to take on too many projects at once, and you'll end up doing nothing. You should also avoid saying 'yes' to things that you're not sure about.
- Be careful when you say 'no': Saying 'no' can be difficult. You might find it hard to say no to people. It can also be challenging to say no to things you don't want to do. If you find it hard to say 'no,' then you can say 'no' by saying something like 'I'm sorry, but I can't help you with your homework.
- Be prepared: If you're saying yes to something, make sure you're prepared. You don't want to have to rush and change your plans because you haven't thought things through.
- Ask for help: If you don't know about a sure thing, then don't be shy to ask your senior or fellows; if you're saying yes to something, make sure you're asking for help. It will help you to avoid feeling pressured or like you're being taken advantage of.
6 Unexpected Things That Happen When You Start Saying 'Yes.'
The six most common things happen when you start saying 'yes.'
Here we go:
#1 - People assume you are available.
When someone asks you out on a date, they may believe you are interested in them. They expect that you will say yes because you're so great.
The problem here is that you can't be expected to say yes, all the time. But you may not want to say no either. So, you end up saying yes just so people will stop bugging you.
#2 - People think they can treat you like a friend.
People think that if they ask you to hang out with them, you're obligated to do so. They assume that they know you well enough to know that you don't want to spend time with them.
What they fail to understand is that it's okay to say no. Because they asked you out and you have accepted their offer, you are now obligated to go out with them.
#3 - You are expected to have a relationship with people you don't like.
When you hang out with friends who you don't really like, they tend to treat you like a friend, and you feel obliged to keep hanging out with them.
You are expected to stay in touch with people you don't really like.
But you don't have to! You can choose not to hang out with those people. In fact, you should. You shouldn't just hang out with people just because you're told to.
#4 - You are expected to show up when people expect you to.
You may be invited to a birthday party by a friend. You may be going to a friend's wedding or another friend's graduation.
Regardless of the reason, it is your responsibility to show up. Because you accepted the invitation, you are expected to show up.
It's also important to remember that you are expected to attend these events. You're not required to be there, but you should still go.
#5 - You are expected to be on time.
If you accept an appointment, you are expected to show up on time. People will expect you to show up at the agreed-upon time, no matter how early or late.
You can always call and reschedule an appointment. But you have no excuse to show up late.
#6 - You are expected to stay in touch with people you don't really care about.
If you've accepted a friend request on Facebook, then you should receive all the friend requests that come your way.
But that doesn't mean you have to stay in touch with those people. If you don't feel like talking to them, then you don't have to.
