Day 661

Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren, and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  We have all heard a few different versions of the saying Keep It Simple, or the KISS method, Keep It Simple Stupid, but I really liked this picture.  It explained the outcome of keeping it simple.  One thing is that it reduces stress.  Sometimes we think we need to overexplain things to people, or justify why we do things.  We don't.  Keep it simple.  Not everyone needs to know everything about us.  Plus it will just stress us out even more.  We overanalyze things or situations or people. Then that throws us into analysis paralysis and that is never a good place to be.  We think too much and end up making outselves crazy, and getting stressed out over nothing.  We build a mountain out of a mole hill.  So next time you start thinking , and overanalyzing everything, just slow down and take a deep breath.  It will be ok.  Just keep it simple.  That's all for today.  Have a great one!
