Pause and heal

One idea to keep it slow and simple… Pause and heal

We all share a secret—something everyone knows but we rarely talk about.

Time is a made up thing. It’s a series of present moments infused with memories of past moments and expectations for future ones. We know logically that past moments cannot be changed and future ones are not guaranteed. The world has made this visceral and tragic recently. And maybe your heart hurts, like ours does.

Healing takes slowness. That is true for healing hearts, minds, and the Earth herself. To practice mindfulness, slowness, and pause is to resist the convenience-driven, distraction-ridden state of things and to focus on what matters most right now.

How do you infuse pause in your life? How do you give yourself time to heal? Whether it’s daily rituals, a weekly sabbath, or mindful walking, we’d love to hear about it.
