I've been continuing with my 'saying yes' philosophy this week and it feels almost as if I've turned over a whole new leaf. Who am I?*

Transformation Tuesday: Week 108
I've never been a spontaneous 'yes' person.
If talking yourself out of social situations due to irrational and unfounded internal fears was an Olympic sport I'd be off to Rio in a few weeks' time to win myself a gold medal. I'm an expert at wanting to do so many things and either stopping myself before I can agree to them, or saying yes and then flying into such a severe anxiety attack that I have no other option but to cancel in order to straighten my head out.
Well, not any more. I decided to challenge myself be a 'yes' person in the latter half of 2016, and for once I stepped up rather than hiding in a corner and panicking. As it so happens, saying 'yes' isn't half as scary as I once thought.

Transformation Tuesday: Week 106
Channeling Daenerys has been such a godsend this week. I feel more like 'me' than I have in ages, so I really can't complain about this change in direction!
