Hello Beautiful, Sharon,

I’m a big believer in the power of restorative pauses.

When I wake up, before I even get out of bed, I take a restorative pause.

I might meditate for 10 minutes, bask in good feelings or memories for five minutes, do a few yoga stretches, or think about things I’m looking forward to that day and build positive expectations that I can carry forward.

Throughout the day, restorative pauses for me can be as simple as sitting on the porch with a cup of tea and watching the chickadees in the trees. Or taking 10 minutes to do my flow arts of poi, or staff.

When I make time for these moments, my day is always better and I’m more on top of my game. When problems or challenges pop up, I’m more likely to take them in stride.

Then there are the pauses I take to head off trouble.

When I first notice tension, coming on, I use one of the self-hypnosis tools I teach to help keep it from building.

Two of my favorites, The Calm Breath and Sigh Breath, take seconds to do.

Clients have shared how they’ve used these tools to get calm, during rush-hour traffic, at the hospital while getting tests, and when their kids were fighting, with great success.

I’ll soon be making a long drive from Portland, Oregon, back home. I plan to build times for stillness into the trip, not just through self-hypnosis, but through whimsical restorative breaks along the way.

I might stop at an interesting pastry shop, stop for a few moments to enjoy a vista, take a photo, or go for a hike.

I’ve discovered that even when I have a tight schedule, there is always room to feel good, bask, and enjoy.
