Press Pause

Autumn-A time For Reflection #4

Pausing is much more than just a momentary stop; it's a scientifically backed method to enhance cognitive function, emotional well-being, physical health, social interactions, and productivity. By incorporating deliberate pauses into daily routines, we can reap numerous benefits that contribute to overall health and performance.

In this podcast episode, we'll take a closer look at nature's Autumn cycle of renewal and transformation through E. Brady's poem Leaves. We learn that letting go, and pressing pause helps us move forward more informed and decisively. At the end of this episode, we'll have information concerning the science behind pausing and the testament of nature's pauses that open the doors for renewal, transformation and inner peace..

Leaves

How silently they tumble down

And come to rest upon the ground

To lay a carpet, rich and rare,

Beneath the trees without a care,

Content to sleep, their work well done,

Colors gleaming in the sun.

At other times, they wildly fly

Until they nearly reach the sky.

Twisting, turning through the air

Till all the trees stand stark and bare.

Exhausted, drop to earth below

To wait, like children, for the snow
