I have been on a “Stop, Pause and Reset” journey for a few years now, which has brought me much clarity as to what I’d really important in my life. It has continued in the form of a ‘deliberate’ slowing down, in contrast to the environmentally created habit of “I must do things faster and not ‘waste’ a minute. This last has not been easy to eliminate. Childhood programming is strong. However, now I can again be that child whose personality was meant for stillness and quiet walks in the woods. I’ve learned that the clarity of stillness makes me more productive. Taking care of my wonderful clients over zoom, with a calm energy also helps them to combat society’s push for speed and the hallowed badge of busyness.
You're right, even the biggest stars have their downtime—so why shouldn’t we? It's in the pause that we get the opportunity to stumble upon a breakthrough we never would have seen.

I have paused on life. Quit the job. Quit the relationship. Back with my mum in my childhood home for a short period.
It’s so necessary.
