~ PAUSE ~
Put a Bandaid on it!

Do you ever ignore Inner Wisdom?

Sharing The Pause Practices and Pause free books and practice
materials with participants at the Better Family Life Job and Resource
Fair recently, I kept finding myself struggling with the box
full of our purple plastic bags we give to our customers to hold
their Pause goodies.

The box was flimsy and falling apart.

As I observed myself interacting with this failing box
over and over again,
I began to laugh at myself
remembering something that had happened earlier in the week…

I had been given a direct opportunity
to put the bags into a different, sturdier box,
BUT
instead of flowing with that moment and following inner Wisdom,
~because I was tired~
I opted to put some tape on the box and quickly patched it up.

I put a Bandaid on it!

swelteringly hot outdoor event >

> Participants, our customers, are lined up eagerly willing to
receive their Truly Helpful Pause goodies >

! And the tape on the box was coming undone !

! The box was sweating and falling apart !

! Bags are spilling out !

. . .

Choosing to Pause…

…and Transferring those bags into a fresh
new box before the event could have
saved me time in the long run!

…I am reminded that temporary fixes
will never outlast the wise solution
that comes from Inspiration Within.

And that’s my lesson.

Pause ~ Listen ~ Follow

to save time and energy in your day!
