The power of the pause

The power of the pause…

I didn’t realize quite how fast I usually live until I had to slow. right. down. this week. Rest, recuperation, recovery, respite – all these ‘re’ words that require us to pause. Sit. Take stock.

It’s so interesting to me how many of these opportunities for rest and pause we squander away on our phones. Waiting in line, sitting at the natural end of the conversation, pausing before our next activity. I’m usually so quick to pick up my phone and distract myself but I’m practicing, this week, just sitting.

Slowing.
Breathing.
Noticing.
