Re ‘hell yeah’, I tend to roll my eyes at such advice from self-help gurus, because for example, not many people can find jobs they can go ‘hell yeah’ at. Hell yeah they’d like to be a rock star or film star or astronaut, but they’re only capable of humdrum work, or they train as a musician/actor and find there’s almost no paid work. (So then the self-help gurus tell them that if they’d only adopt the right positive attitude they’d say ‘hell yeah’ to shelf-stacking—rather than just accept that life is a mixed bag and we have to do some things we don’t like much.)
The weak form is better, viz. if you think of something you can say ‘hell yeah’ to that’s actually feasible, then do it. I.e. say yes to ‘hell yeah’, rather than say no to not-‘hell yeah’.
