Nudging: Say “yes” to something new

Backstory: When I was putting together The List, I almost pulled this nudge off. It feels kinda vague. But on final review, I kept it because it forces me to be in the moment, to be open to whatever may come.

Will I be invited to a social event that feels outside my comfort (or fashion) zone? Will I see an opening in a class that’s just a little outside my (financial or intellectual) reach? Will I get an opportunity to experiment on something that’s always looked like fun but had me doubting my ability to even try?

We’ll find out! 🙂

Have fun with this! If you need inspiration, check out Shonda Rhimes’ book Year of Yes: How to Dance It Out, Stand in the Sun and Be Your Own Person.

    My friend Janet asked me to do the Crosstown trail hike. This is a 17 mile hike from Candlestick Point to Lands End. This 52 Nudger got me to say YES! It was a cold December day but clear and beautiful. I have lived in San Francisco for 30 years and was going through new neighborhoods and parks. It was amazing. Check it out: http://www.crosstowntrail.org. Took us 7 hours and we ended up having a beer at Cliff House. Many people do it in chunks.

      What a fabulous adventure! Things like this–getting out and discovering new parts of your own city–are what I hope we’re all doing through nudges. Thank you for sharing how 52Nudges inspired you!
