When is it time to KISS?

NOW! Now is the time to K.I.S.S.

NOW is the time to <u>K</u>eep <u>I</u>t <u>S</u>uper <u>S</u>imple.

Imagine you’re with a stressed out person who looks …EXACTLY like you! They are having some significant challenges right now, figuring out how to do things that used to be easy – like buying groceries and toilet paper. And that doesn’t even cover 1% of what’s going on right now in their emotional world.

Imagine putting your hand on this person’s shoulder and saying, with all the kindness and compassion you can muster…

“It’s REALLY okay right now to Keep It Super Simple… wherever you can. Love you!”

Take a deep breath. Imagine hugging your stressed-out self and letting the self-compassion and inner heart connection wash over you.

And now three super simple points:

  1. It’s about whether it FEELS super simple in your body-mind right now… not how it “looks” (or looks to others).
  2. The 2-minute baby step is your friend.
  3. When we’re sharing space, “super simple” may need to become super-dooper simple . It’s okay. Everyone’s emotional capacity is challenged right now.
KISS - Keep It Super Simple

And that’s it!
