What is Tracking Yes?
Do you notice when something happens that you don’t like or want, the first move is to resist and argue with reality?
That’s us being our human selves, but over time this can become our habitual response to life, and we don’t consider the toll this constant sense of struggle is taking on our joy and well-being.
Tracking Yes is a relationship with life that has you pause for a “resistance check” when life presents the unexpected and you find yourself responding with a ‘no’.
It’s opening to be present with your resistance and then, with friendliness and intention—walking yourself back into a place of ease and connection.
Tracking Yes is not about pole vaulting over the pain and challenge of a tough situation to get to an easier, more zen-like place.
And it’s not saying “yes” to everything that comes your way in a wrestle-yourself-to-the-ground attempt to be okay with whatever happens.
It’s a willingness to trade your opinion about what’s happening for genuine curiosity.
Ultimately, Tracking Yes is a series of steps that lead back home to peace.
SMALL NO’S VS. BIG NO’S
We experience small no’s all the time - caught in traffic, unexpected expenses, a project not going the way we’d hoped, conflicts with fellow humans, creative blocks, etc.
When we choose to be in a yes relationship with life, we disrupt our day-to-day resistance. We turn toward our experience and see what’s there for us.
With practice, you begin to naturally shift from complaint to curiosity.
You become more fluid and agile, living in connection with your experience instead of trying to deflect or get around it.
With bigger no’s: death, betrayal, violence, oppression, tragedy, injustice, the loss or impending loss of something that matters deeply—we often have to move more slowly. With searing, painful, devastating experiences, we may need to cycle several times through the first three steps I name below.
Eventually we’re able to move into our wisdom and find the freedom to be in a creative flow with our experience.
