Your real job in life is not to say How,
but rather Yes...Yes And!
Yes And sees possibilities. Yes But sees limitations.
All of Remembering to Play Events' workshops are based in the
Spirit of Yes And.
We live in a society that is well trained to say Yes But. We are more conditioned to see limits than possibilities.
Saying Yes is respecting your, or someone else's, feeling, idea or circumstance and being open to what it may have to offer. It is about acknowledging, appreciating and including without judgement, without the need to fix, and without even the need to agree. Saying And is finding creative ways to build upon it and then playfully seeing where it goes.
There is no aliveness or potential in Yes But. It keeps us in the proverbial box and living in the status quo. The adventure of life begins when we take the risk to say Yes And. We soon realize life has much more in store for us than we can currently imagine.
This includes saying Yes And to:
Your intuition
Other people's contributions
Irrational imagination and unconventional solutions
Uncertainty and the unexpected
Allowing things to be as they are
An easier way
Natural, spontaneous self-expression
Joy
Living in the Spirit of Yes And is like using a new muscle that over time strengthens and becomes a natural part of our language and way of living. We soon find ourselves saying Yes to more of what life brings us And creating from it in innovative, successful and joyful ways.
“Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes and having fun.”
