“Sometimes, the best thing we can do is stop…”

Do you sometimes or regularly feel frustrated, powerless and stuck? Do you try to make changes in your life, but quickly lose momentum and fall back into old habits?

It happens to all of us. But not everyone knows the secrets to taking that power back so you can get unstuck in your life.
Our bodies are hardwired to react to stressful situations in specific ways. Our hectic, need-it-yesterday world puts demands on our nervous system that it was never meant to handle. We are constantly in a state of fight-or-flight – and our bodies are burning out.

The Power of the Pause is part healing guide and part workbook with detailed layperson’s descriptions of why your body reacts the way it does. This book teaches you how to pause and check in with your body so you can relieve, reinvigorate and re-evaluate.The techniques in this book will help you make positive long-term decisions based on careful assessment rather than snap reactions in the moment.

In The Power of the Pause, you’ll learn:

• How to zoom in and zoom out – look at the details, look at the big picture
• What the term “negative bias” means, and why we dwell on the negative
• How we can use our natural neuroplasicity to change patterns in our nervous system and create new ones
• Why stress in itself isn’t “good” or “bad” – and where the real problems lie
• What the social long body is, and how our connections with family and friends can nourish us or drain us
• How The Pause can improve the way you communicate with others

Ultimately, The Power of the Pause guides and empowers you as you improve your mind-body connection, learn to see yourself clearly and learn to love what you see.
