↗️ What if it were really simple?
Life is complex.
Here’s a suggestion to approach a challenge/problem differently. It’s a coach-like question to invite a perspective shift for yourself and others:
“How would this look if it were really simple?”
And now, please, read this question out again.
Ask it out loud.
Ask it much slower than you normally would.
Articulate and emphasise every word.
Only when you do that, this question will unfold its full ‘pattern interrupt’ effect on others and invite them stop and mentally ‘look up’ and consider.
Can you think of situations in the next 5 days when this could be useful?
Have fun with it!
Wish you a simple and enjoyable week, just days away from the festive season!
