Have you noticed how reactionary we are as human beings?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There\u2019s a tendency to \u201clike\u201d things or cancel people without a second thought.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We feel an urgency to respond to every e-mail, text, and other notifications.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In this context, the power of pausing can be overlooked.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, let\u2019s shine a light on it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pausing helps in dealing with conflict, difficult emotions, challenging circumstances, and optimizing effectiveness.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I know I\u2019m not using this tool when I make mistakes, turn up the heat on conflicts and do things I regret.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We all need reminders to pause because it allows us to experience what we badly need – a break to recover and regain our energy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pausing creates the opportunity to get curious, check our assumptions and biases, build perspective, and work from a place of clarity.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Try it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Give yourself a break.<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You deserve and need it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How to Pause<\/strong><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

If the thought of pausing feels overwhelming or like more work, here are some easy tips.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Book 5, 10, or even more minutes in your calendar for quiet time. Subject title: Pause.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When the reminder pops up, avoid scrolling on your phone.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Instead, take a walk outside, draw, play with a Rubik’s cube, stretch.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do something that engages your other senses and gives your logical, thinking brain a rest.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Maybe grab a cup of tea with a friend or colleague. Have one rule: Promise each other not to talk about work or problems but about dreams or things you are looking forward to.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Invest in the pause to avoid mistakes, conflict, and regret and support you in your well-being and resilience.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
