EP 298: Practicing The Pause (And Why It's So Helpful)
b'
When we find ourselves regretting our actions and wishing we could take back something that\\u2019s happened, it\\u2019s almost always because we REACTED to, as opposed to having RESPONDED to an experience.
\\n
\\nAnd one of the most amazing results of Mindfulness practices is the cultivation or the habit of RESPONSE.
\\n
\\nAny time we find ourselves reacting to something, we\\u2019re being driven by our implicit biases and memories.
\\n
\\nOr we\\u2019re driven by the emotions associated with our past trauma.
\\n
\\nWhatever the driving force, ultimately we\\u2019re relinquishing our power.
\\n
\\nMindfulness practices get that paper back to us.
\\n
\\nUltimately, through this power, we eliminate the circumstances of regret and live a more intentional, balanced, and healthier life.
\\n
\\nIn the video here, I give you a super simple practice that can help you develop this competency.
\\n
\\nPlease let me know if you have any questions.
