Keep it simple!
This has been the theme that has kept cropping up this week.
So an early morning walk for me always starts my day from a good space. It is a time to simple be, and on this sunny day, the sun on my face made it all the sweeter.
Then I was reading some stuff on quantum physics, not simple, but it did remind me of the Buddhist teachings, and Buddha clearly said...
"Don't get caught in the past, because the past it gone. Don't get upset about the future, because the future is not yet here. There is only one moment for you to be alive, and that is the present moment".
Then the idea of simplicity dropped in again. As we interact with people their is a skill in meeting people where they are at. When we over complicate things, we lose peoples attention. I'm learning that this is sometimes easier said than done.
Some of the experiences I've had in education reminded me of this. When I was a young student and the professors were so knowledgeable! I noticed that it was difficult for some to simplify things in a way that I could understand π. So the question to myself has been, what if sometimes I over complicate things for my clients too.
As a student of life, I'm a work in progress like everyone else. This is a big lesson when working with clients at the start of their journey, and it is something I will keep working on.
Where in your life are you over complicating things? How can you make things a little simpler?!
