365 Pause Practices Day 250

 

With a Pause,

I Have the Opportunity to

Let My Mind be a Clean Slate

By Natalie

I’ve walked with the ego on a long journey, 
and although the walk continues,
it is indeed changing, evolving.

Most of my life I was completely unaware of my ego/cubicle mind. Once I
became aware, I spent time being upset with myself (more ego!) for doing
or saying something that I realized was based in fear, insecurity, guilt, or
otherwise ego driven. I felt I had no choice as I allowed myself to be led by
emotions, feelings and outside influences most of the time. 

When I found the Pause Practice,
I found myself experiencing moments of Peace.
I began to enjoy being Present and Helpful.
Over time, I realized….by golly, I do have a choice!

Now, when I recognize my ego surfacing, I can Step Back from the familiar
feeling it brings, then relax, breathe, let my mind be a clean slate
and ask, “is there another way to see this”. Inspiration Within
provides Help in the moment and I can make the choice to Follow this
Guidance.

Now, I can experience Peace.

The loving calmness of Peace can wash over me, 
bringing Love into my heart, my life,
and my Relationships ~
and that can include everyone I meet!
I may still find myself slipping back
into the old cubicle-me ruling the roost,
but, with the Pause Practice, 
I can let that rooster rest every now and then.

What if we joined together in taking a PAUSE
in the midst of everyday life
to experience more Peace in the moment?

Shared from the Pause Golden Book, Pages 38-39:

Consider being willing to commit the Pause Practice to memory. At the 
forefront of your mind at all times, you will now have an immediate way for 
practicing peace, being forgiving and receiving Wisdom.

Committing this practice to memory can potentially save you from future
cubicle, unnecessary challenges. Even if you are unable to commit the whole
practice to memory, there are short phrases varying in length from as
little as one word to a few words that will bring you into the Whole Experience, such as:
“Rest,” “Allow stillness to replace the chatter,” “Relax, listen, open to be
Helped,” “Be humbly available,” “Give some space, “I am willing”.



Practice Pause For Inspiration, when you are willing!
Willingness is the only condition.
