" There are numerous ways to Pause—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Start with little Pauses. Take a couple of breaths while you gather your thoughts in the middle of a meeting, or save an email draft to reread thoughtfully before hitting send. Wait to reply to a request to join the fundraising committee. Before you fire off a response to a contentious email, Pause to reflect on whether making a quick phone call could accomplish your goal more efficiently. Go for a walk around the block, or take a soulful sip of coffee. "
