Day 3: Press the PAUSE button...

Today's message is almost completely opposite to yesterday's one of "JUST do it"! I hope that I did get some creative juices flowing, but I'm also a firm believer that in order to know where you're going, you need to know where you're coming from.

So today, this last day of November, I invite you to "Press the PAUSE button".

STOP. Breathe. Pause...

Take a few minutes or an hour or however much time you need and just breathe and use the time as you see fit. Take some time to think of the last month or months and what you've learnt, how you've grown and what you may have overcome. I love this quote which resonated quite deeply with me:

So practice the pause today. Look at how far you may have come, and the excitement of where you can go as a result. Celebrate the small wins and treat yourself - to that ice-cream you've been wanting to have or that bath or that crossword sitting next to your bedside that you've been wanting to do... the options are endless.

Today is a bit of a tough one for me. It's the day my gran, or Ma as we more affectionately called her, passed away 3 years ago. It's always a time for me to be grateful for her life and the lessons I've learnt from her, and the strong woman I have now become as a result of all the other amazing women who guided the path forward.

Be gentle with yourselves. It's a bit chaotic in the world at present, so use this moment, and just remember to Press the PAUSE button just for a short while today.

Much love and for the love of wisdom always,

Poonam
