Change has a peculiar way of keeping us busy. We rush to fix, fill, and figure things out, often without stopping to ask ourselves the most important question: what do I actually need right now?

This is where the Strategic Pause comes in. Not a pause as in doing nothing (though that's sometimes exactly right), but a deliberate, intentional moment of checking in with yourself. Once you know about the Strategic Pause (and the six energy elements) it will help you through all kinds of life’s moments.

Each pause serves a different purpose and works for you in a different way. Play with what works for you, when you need it, how you need it. We all pause in different ways, in different moments. It’s about knowing that ‘pausing’ is an important part of navigating change well.

What kind of pause do you need today?
