Practice the Power of the Pause in 2018
 
As we enter a new year it is always a good time to set goals to improve and grow.  I recommend focusing on this one word for 2018.  Pause. The power of the pause is amazing and can play out in many, many, ways. 

  • When you find yourself in the good company of family and friends, pause and take in the moment.
  • When you find yourself achieving a goal or someone you know achieves something special…pause and celebrate.
  • Before you reply to that email, text, or Facebook post…pause and think about what you are about to say. 
  • When something goes wrong, pause and reflect on how big a deal this issue really is in the bigger scope of life.  Often it is just another small setback in a series of setbacks that puts us in a negative mindset or spirit.  Learn to pause and take a deep breath and brush it off. 
 
Sometimes our lives become simply too busy or quite overwhelming and we need to learn to pause for a moment or two and slow down to gain some peace of mind.  TEACH the power of pausing to your children by modeling this in action.  Talk to them about when you do pause and let them know how it helped. 

We often rush about reacting and never truly responding.  Mastering “the pause” in your life will allow for you to be more thoughtful and reflective about what you say and do.
