What's pausing gonna do for me?

What's pausing gonna do for me?

I don’t advise reading this article if you’re not prepared to be honest with yourself.

Most of us have been guilty of the following at some point.

Being physically there but not mentally present.

For example you might be ??

  • At your kids game and taking calls/ texting/ answering emails?
  • On the sofa for family movie night and checking you phone to see how your social media post is doing
  • Apparently listening to what another person is saying but actually just waiting to jump in with your point of view
  • Taking a walk to get some air and at the same time answering texts/ scrolling SM
  • On the treadmill watching the news


Look at how much of your life, you're missing by not being present.

What's more, consider what you're saying without even using your words.

"What I'm doing deserves more of my attention than you do right now."


What's breaking as a result?

Connection with friends, family, loved ones

More importantly, connection with yourself.


I’m no angel, I’ve done this too.

The good news is that once you become aware of this habit, you can choose to adjust it.

Here’s where that pause button in your head comes in mighty useful ??


What might need to be in place so you could commit to being present for 10 mins today?

In other words??

What can you say no to today?


Start with something simple and no overthinking. There's a video guide attached to help you let this be easy.

Love to hear from you in the comments.

I always call my mom when I take out the dishes from the dishwasher - BECAUSE I hate anything that has to do with cleaning, AND by combining it with something I actually enjoy (e.g. talking to my mom) - it's only half as bad ?? Jenny Maxwell??

When saying no is saying yes. When saying yes to something else means only lending one ear and eye to your priority .. Or when pausing is actually just doing one thing at a time ?? so many good lines that could come out of this!

Every video game has a pause button ?
