The Power of The Pause
My meditation teacher taught me that a mind that moves too fast does not have the ability to love. WHOA!
A mind that is unable to slow down, pause and choose its response, will find itself running around and reacting to life.
Reacting is a kind of an automated fear-based trigger that stems from our past experiences and conditioned thinking. It keeps our minds stuck in the ego-loop and at the mercy of our immediate emotions and feelings.
How we speak and act is generated by our thoughts and if we don’t train our mind to have the capability to stop and question what it is that we think we’re seeing and hearing before we can make a conscious choice as to how we want to “respond”, we just might find ourselves reacting; saying and doing things we regret and can’t really take back.
Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about the Power of the Pause and how just a few seconds to think before hitting go can make all the difference in the world.
