The art of conscious pause

The simplest things are often the most powerful. Evidence of this can be a simple, conscious break. Observe nature, and you'll see that every bird, butterfly, and cat seems to be doing nothing at all from time to time. He just stands still or sits down, maybe looks around.

For a human too, this kind of pause can become as natural as breathing. Actually, we do it all the time, but the point is to do it intentionally - then it brings great results! Notice that pauses occur in your life at very appropriate times, even though sometimes your mind tries to tell you otherwise. Traffic jams, queues, late buses – why not treat them as gifts from the Universe in the form of natural breaks? Maybe these are the times to ask yourself how you feel, take a few deep breaths or notice a beautiful tree growing right next to you?

Contrary to appearances, stopping will not make you have less time – on the contrary. Conscious pauses quantumously extend time - helping us to be more effective and efficient in the activities they precede!

"Happy people do not count the time"

I recommend reading more about the art of conscious pause in the book "The Art of Contemplation" by Richard Rudd, which is a great complement to Gene Keys. However, if English is not your strong point (I would be very surprised), don't worry - the topic will definitely appear on the blog again!
