Life doesn’t have to be Difficult

First Published 28 January 2021

How often when you were preparing for exams were you told to K.I.S.S.?  At school I am sure this stood for ‘keep it simple stupid’ (more recently I have heard the ‘stupid’ swapped for ‘sexy’ and I think I like that much better 😉 )

As grown ups, I think a lot of us have forgotten this ‘top tip’!  I was recording the latest Therapists in Conversation this week (will be available to watch on the 5th of Feb 2021) and it came up as a bit of a theme that many of us have a knack of making life way more difficult than we need it to be (we also talked about not wanting to be grown ups!!!).

My question to you is: What in your life are you over complicating and making more difficult for yourself?  Are you overthinking?  Are you analysing the life out of a problem and not getting anywhere with it?  Are you going around in circles or faced with ‘paralysis’ when trying to get something started?

Taking a wee step back to ask that question might be enough to break you out of the complicated.  As a tutor told me last year, sometimes we just need to put the snow globe down and let it settle.  If taking a step back isn’t doing the trick then give me a shout for a ‘zoffee’ (zoom coffee) and together we can work on making it simple.

Book in for a ‘Zoffee’.  If you want something a bit more focused book a discovery call and we can see how we can work together.
