"Press Pause."
Life used to be imbued with urgency.
Before, there was no time to reflect, no past to learn from, and no future to grasp onto. It was life or death reactions in a blink of an eye, with no capacity for long-term consequences. Tunnel-vision survival: just get through it.
But now, a pause allows us to see whether our past is coloring our current perceptions. It gives opportunity to respond according to our own values and standards; to free ourselves from the shackles of trauma, from our history, from preestablished scripts.
I don’t have to stay victim to how I was molded. We can choose what we say and how we say it, and we can let the dust settle first. We can take a beat, take a breath, and take the chance at living consciously, intentionally, and authentically Me.
