Practice the Pause

Practice the Pause

In a world that rushes, that demands instant answers and immediate reactions, the pause is a quiet act of power.

When in doubt—pause. Let clarity find you in stillness.

When angry—pause. Give yourself the grace of space before words become weapons.

When stressed—pause. Feel your breath, soften your shoulders, return to the present.

When tired—pause. Honor your limits, knowing that rest is not a weakness but a renewal.

The pause is not empty; it is full. Full of wisdom, of grace, of the moment between impulse and intention. And in that moment, we choose—not from habit, but from awareness.

When you pause, you pray. Not always in words, but in presence. A prayer of trust, of patience, of surrender to what is unfolding. A prayer that allows you to meet life with steadiness rather than struggle.

So, practice the pause. It may be the most powerful thing you do today.
