The Overthinker's Guide to Joy |Replay: The Power of the Pause

Ep #43: Replay: The Power of the Pause

June 29, 2022

This week, I’m bringing you a bonus replay episode because this lesson is exactly what I need in my life right now. After throwing my back out on the tennis court (yes, I have yet another tennis injury), I’ve reluctantly had to rest more than I would like this last week. So I thought, what better than to take my own advice? 

As classic overthinkers and over-doers, mastering the art of doing nothing is challenging, to say the least. Outside of my meditation practice, I still struggle to take pauses throughout my day where I switch off and do nothing, but learning to pause is an amazing tool for managing that awesome overthinking brain of yours, and I’m showing you how to start. 

Join me on the podcast to discover why taking the time to pause feels so uncomfortable, and what you miss out on when you override the need to switch off and rest. I’m challenging you to give it a try, and showing you how to get comfortable with it until it becomes a habit that comes naturally to you.
