The Pause
Beep... Beep Beep, the alarm marks the start of your day with a list of tasks that wait to be crossed out. You put your armor on and charge into the day, jumping from one task to another. Sour from the battles you fought all day; you shred your armor and make plans on conquering the next day.
We are all so preoccupied with being the best version of ourselves every single minute of the day that we forget to stop and enjoy the little things that help us find our bearings, find our purpose, find peace.
What is it that gives you calm in the middle of a chaotic day? The feeling of the cool grass under your feet, the wind blowing through your hair, the sound of leaves rustling, a dog's cold nose against your skin. Let's pause, breathe, and live the moment for what it is, without expectations. Let's pause in a moment of peace.
