Pause For Thought

Pause for thought.

In the moment, conversation was fast-flowing and the ideas and stories were flying everywhere. We were definitely in the moment.

Until a particular statement was made …. hmmm … let me stop and think about that.

It’s a balance, isn’t it. There are benefits from riding the wave and the go-go-go environment that generate enthusiasm, interest and motivation. And, then there is the ability to recognise when something requires more; to go a little deeper and think a little longer.

In our productivity obsessed world, work and life can be relentless, and having the awareness and conviction to know when a pause for thought is needed, is a skill worth mastering.

As you reflect back on the week that was, I’m curious, what gave you pause for thought?
