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
Let It Be
Our natural tendencies are to get away or get rid of what is uncomfortable and to grasp for more of what feels good. The uncomfortable inevitably returns to eat at us, and grasping for more of the good can lead to habits that do not serve us. It can be challenging to simply experience how we feel and to simply let it be. Practicing noticing our experiences helps us to simply be with whatever it is, which ultimately liberates us from being tossed around by our experiences.
