The Power of Pause to allow what is, to be, even if it’s uncomfortable. The Power of Pause to feel despair, trusting that I will feel hope again.

We are so busy of doing everything and are not keen to have a pause or we do not notice it even if we accidentally have it. I try enjoy a pause in life when I have it. When I arrive at the place to meet someone earlier and then I have a little time. Even I am in the train to go somewhere, I put off headphone and close book and be there where I belong. To see what I see and hear what I hear and be there. To me, it is also a pause to breathe life into me. Having a sense of now-and-here is always given by a pause in a moment and how do I do then.

Take a break. Step back from the work, and rest. I personally find this very difficult to do. There is ALWAYS something that needs to be done, and if I don’t prioritize myself on the same level I prioritize the work, a break just doesn’t happen. At the same time, I do want to speak for the beauty of sleep and the powerful rest it gives, naturally.
