Whitewater Rafting and Practicing 75% Good or Better
I share my whitewater rafting adventure and how it became a real-life practice of aiming for “75% good or better.”
Rivers are unpredictable, with calm stretches and turbulent rapids that can change with conditions, and the trip helped me practice being present through both.
For me, the 1% horrible was the poop box (from the last episode), and the 24% bad was disrupted sleep in the tent and nighttime trips to the pee bucket.
Still, those parts didn’t overshadow the good: guides cooked every meal, rowed so I didn’t have to, and I could hold on with both hands in the rapids; I stayed in the boat, enjoyed stunning red rock canyons, learned from passionate guides, and loved the small group.
