Day 27: 1min Wake Up Wellness- Learning to Pause


If you find yourself frustrated or your breathing is unsteady today take a Pause.

Connect back to yourself.  Close your eyes and bring your attention back to your body, limb by limb, feet on the floor, weight of the body on your chair. Release any tension in your stomach muscles or anywhere else in the body.  Be aware of your breath.  Rest even deeper into this stillness by inhaling deeply and then exhaling, letting any tension out.  If any agitated thoughts begin to arise, bring the body back to this Pause.

This is a great exercise to do during the day, especially at work.  You can even send yourself a little outlook reminder to take a Pause and check in with yourself.
