Day 282 - A Year to Clear - Press the Pause Button

Lesson 282: Press the Pause Button
“Become a master of the pause — whether saying grace before a meal or taking a few quiet unrushed breaths before a meeting or phone call. Find pause breaks during your day to reset to a relaxed rhythm. Listen to some classical or peaceful music. Learn to shift your rhythm instead of being caught in high speed all the time.”
Today we are to do one thing where we can “press the pause button”. Anything at all to just take a quiet moment.
Throughout the day, I do take quiet moments for myself. I just don’t see the point in rushing. You can get to the same outcome by taking your time and not overwhelming yourself. Sometimes I will put on some music at work because I can’t deal with all the noise around me. When I feel like there is too much work going on. I just breathe, read through the task thoroughly and from there make a decision on what to do.
When I got home today, I didn’t go rushing into my blogs. I lay on my couch and had a moment. Just some rest on my couch whilst I browsed Facebook. I probably spent one hour there to just pause and relax.
I feel like sometimes life gets hectic and my life has been events, catching up with people or just doing activities that enrich my life. Last Sunday, I legit didn’t do much. I lay in bed, watch TV, caught up on blog posts and worked on my business website. It was nice to not go out and take some extra naps and relaxed into what I was doing with no rush at all. It was a welcoming break to my busy life. Everything was slowly paced and I didn’t really look at the time and set myself deadlines. Just did things in my own time. I do want to do this more often and I will!
What was something you did today to press pause?
