The busier we are, the harder it can be to find a moment to breathe. To sit within our practice. To pause.
It’s not just a matter of finding the time: it can also be a matter of judgement. How do you feel you would be rewarded, in the middle of a busy day, for a busy team, if you said “i’m just taking a moment to breathe”. Often we are judged. Motion is everything.
And yet everyone craves this time: to stop, to pause, to reflect, to listen.
Use your sixty seconds today to consider how you give others time to pause, or what the cost is if we lose this.
You may also wish to consider where you find time for yourself - or does every moment get taken up with ‘one more email’ or ‘one more hit on instagram’.
Doing nothing can be highly productive, allowing us to reframe, gain perspective, or simply breathe.
