As a kid, sometimes my sister would mentally torture me, and my dad would advise, “Just don’t respond.”
Perhaps he should have said, “Practice the Pause.”
The Pause is that moment I wish my 8 year old self had taken instead of chasing my 13 year old sister with a butter knife.
As an adult, the Pause is that moment we wish we’d taken to calm down and pause to reflect before snapping back at a spouse, our kid, a sibling, a dog. Before sending back a harsh, ill-thought out e-mail or text.
Training ourselves to pause lets us move out of the fear and anger of reactivity and into a place where love and curiosity can fuel our responses.
Lemmie tell ya - Where I see or do not see my progress is when I’m with my family.
Your family knows how to push your buttons, because they installed them.
So next time you’re triggered, I invite you to practice the pause.
You’ll craft your soul and improve your life.
