Say Yes to Possibility: A List of 52 Yes Prompts


When was the last time you said yes to something that sparked joy, curiosity, or growth? Sometimes, it’s the simple act of saying yes that opens doors to new possibilities, unexpected adventures, and meaningful connections. But knowing where to start can feel overwhelming—especially with everything life throws your way.

That’s where this list comes in.

These 52 yes prompts are designed to inspire you—whether you want to try something new, reconnect with yourself, or simply add more fun to your life. There’s no need to stick to a specific order or start at a particular time. You don’t even have to begin in January. If you’re coming across this list later in the year, you can jump in right where you are and work through the prompts at your own pace. Or, if you prefer, make Week 1 your own Week 1, regardless of the calendar.

This isn’t about saying yes to everything. It’s about choosing yes with intention. The kind of yes that brings you joy, helps you grow, and makes life feel a little brighter.

Ready to begin? Scroll through the list, pick a prompt that resonates with you, and start saying yes to the possibilities ahead.

    Welcome to 52 Yesses!

     Hello, and welcome to 52 Yesses! 🎉

    I’m Eowyn Langholf, and I’m so excited to share this journey with you. This blog is all about stepping out of my comfort zone, saying yes to opportunities big and small, and embracing the magic of living boldly.

    For years, I found myself caught up in the safe and familiar, hesitating to take chances or dive into the unknown. But one day, I realized how much I was missing out on by letting fear, doubt, or routine hold me back. So, I decided it was time for a change—a time to say yes to life.

    That’s how 52 Yesses was born.


    What Is 52 Yesses?

    This year, I’m challenging myself to say yes to 52 new experiences—one for every week of the year. These yesses might be as simple as trying a new food or as daring as tackling a fear I’ve been avoiding. Each yes is an opportunity to grow, to learn, and to uncover joy in unexpected places.

    Along the way, I’ll be sharing:

    • Stories and reflections from each “yes.”
    • Lessons learned from stepping outside my comfort zone.
    • Tips and inspiration for embracing your own adventures.

    Why 52 Yesses?

    Because saying yes can be transformational.

    A yes isn’t just about agreeing to something—it’s about opening the door to possibility. It’s about choosing courage over fear, curiosity over hesitation, and growth over standing still. Through this challenge, I hope to inspire not just myself, but also you, to live boldly and take chances on the things that truly matter.


    What Can You Expect Here?

    On this blog, you’ll find:

    • Weekly Updates: Stories from each week’s “yes” moment.
    • Reflections: Honest thoughts on what I’m learning along the way.
    • Inspiration: Ideas to help you say yes to your own adventures.
    • Fun Challenges: Opportunities to join in and share your own yesses!

    Join Me on This Journey

    This isn’t just my story—it’s a celebration of the power of saying yes for all of us. Whether you’re here to follow along, cheer me on, or start your own journey, I’m so glad you’re here. Together, let’s make this year one of bold choices, unexpected joys, and unforgettable adventures.

    So, let’s get started. What will you say yes to today?
