The Overthinker's Guide to Joy with Jackie de Crinis | The Power of The Pause

Ep #6: The Power of The Pause

October 13, 2021

As a classic overthinker, I have a confession to make: I am still struggling to master the art of doing nothing. As you all know from previous episodes, I am a daily meditator. However, outside of meditation – which I don’t really consider to be doing nothing – taking a pause and truly doing nothing is incredibly challenging.

We overthinkers tell ourselves we’re not comfortable with doing nothing. We’re perpetually in motion and we respond to things immediately to get them off our plate. But what if taking a pause is where all the magic happens?

Tune in this week to discover why, as overthinkers and over-doers, we find it so difficult to switch off and take a pause. There is no right or wrong way to take a pause, so I’m showing you the value of getting comfortable in the silence, so you can find new levels of insight, creativity, and peace.
