Yes And sees possibilities. Yes But sees limitations.
All of Remembering to Play Event's workshops are based in
the power of saying Yes And.
We live in a society that is well trained to say Yes But. Saying Yes is respecting your, or someone else's, feeling, idea or circumstance and being open to what it may have to offer. 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
Unconventional creativite solutions
Uncertainty and releasing control
Allowing things to be as they are
An easier way
Joy
Saying Yes And is like working 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.
