Andy, how to apply LQ when things are failing fast?

When life is falling apart, at work, at home, emotionally and physically, your brain goes into survival mode. In that state, you cannot remember concepts, frameworks, or theories. And you shouldn’t expect yourself to.

That’s why LQ is not about memorising the 3Cs.

It’s about reducing your response to one simple anchor.

In difficult moments, I don’t ask myself to apply all of LQ.

I ask just one question:

What is the most loving thing to do right now, for myself and for this situation?

Sometimes the loving thing is to speak.

Sometimes it is to stay silent.

Sometimes it is to walk away.

Sometimes it is to rest.

That question alone already activates Care, Courage, and Connection — without you needing to remember them.

So if you can’t remember LQ when life is hard, that doesn’t mean LQ has failed.

It means you are human.

And that is exactly why LQ exists.
