Jane Lodato: Pause
Insert a Pause into your day to decrease stress, gain perspective, focus and ease. We all get hijacked by our thoughts and feelings, often they are habitual. With practice, you can rewire your brain to identify and decrease your own reactivity which in turn can make your life easier. While we cannot change what comes at us any given moment we do have a choice as to how we want to respond. In that choice lies the opportunity to live with increased ease.
Jane Lodato: Pause
Expand Your Window of Tolerance
We often have a very narrow "window of tolerance" for emotions that are strong, including anger, fear, overwhelm. When we cannot tolerate these feelings we may say or do something that in hindsight we wish we hadn't. This practice will help to expand your window of tolerance when challenging circumstances arise, and in turn reduce the stress that comes as a result of being caught in our own inability to tolerate our feeling.
