Modern Yogi | The Power of Pause
A few months into consulting, I found myself constantly chasing deadlines. Early mornings blurred into late nights, and the pace was relentless. One evening, in the middle of yet another urgent deadline, I caught myself—shoulders tense, mind racing, breath shallow.
I paused.
Just for a moment.
A deep inhale… a slow exhale.
And in that single pause, something shifted.
My thoughts settled. Clarity returned. Suddenly, the to-do list that felt suffocating only moments earlier seemed manageable. In that moment, I understood what yoga had been teaching me all along: it isn’t confined to a mat—it’s a practice we carry with us, wherever we go.
If you find yourself on autopilot—juggling projects, dashing between meetings, feeling the weight of the endless “urgent”:
? When your inbox floods, pause.
? When a meeting gets heated, pause.
? When you feel lost in the noise, pause.
One mindful breath can reset everything.
