Pausing During Conversations with Others

By Natalie

When I’m in the midst of a conversation with someone is a
Helpful time to Pause. I realized this the other day when
I was talking with a very good friend. We have such wonderful conversations, but I noticed that I was not Pausing.
As I was “listening”, I realized that I was planning
my response to her and I also noticed that I became
distracted after she told me a personal story.

These moments are my favorite times to PAUSE
because they can provide help in the moment.
When I Paused and asked Inspiration Within to help,
it brought a calmness into my mind that helped me relax
and reset my focus so that I could be present in the moment.

When I’m Pausing and being Present
in the midst of conversation,
I can become a better listener.

Shared from the Pause Golden Book, Page 40:

Pause is a specific Practice to be used While on The Move; such as,
during a conversation — listening requires pausing within
your own mind, thinking, feeling, and acting — do not miss out on
what is being said — truly respond versus a habitual reaction.

It’s okay to

take a moment

to Pause.

Everyone is Worthy of a Pause.
