Hand Me the Remote!

Have there been times in life that if you had a remote control you might fast forward through a moment or rewind to relive it again for any reason? There are so many buttons on a remote like >>, <<, ||, that would be great to use in life if we could. Hey, we can. The real remote control options we have are PLAY and PAUSE. How often do you use it.

I think at times we forget that during the day it's OK to PAUSE. As life plays out in our hurried world, when you hit PAUSE, it can allow you time to reflect in the moment and make a more informed resumed PLAY mode.  I know we all love the instant reactions we receive in today's world: text messages, rewinding a missed football game play on live TV,  and even instantly seeing friends and family with a video chat rather than voice call. But perhaps next time when you feel your life is on constant PLAY and out of control, hit PAUSE!

PAUSE can be taking time to not make a decision that can wait.
PAUSE can be taking a deep breath.
PAUSE can be holding a pose in yoga that feels good in your body.
PAUSE can be anything in your mind and body that is not an instant reaction.

Hand me the remote, I need to PAUSE!

Namaste,
Diane
