Episode notes
Power Lies In The Pause
- A pause between stimulus and response contains your freedom to choose how you act.
- Conscious breathing widens that pause so you can respond from wisdom instead of habit.
Reactions Are Conditioned, Not Inevitable
- Most reactions come from conditioning, habits, and emotional patterns rather than conscious choice.
- Expanding the pause lets you choose patience, curiosity, or creativity instead of anger or fear.
Use One Breath To Create Choice
- Breathe consciously when you notice an automatic reaction to create room for choice.
- Use that single breath as a doorway to respond from your highest self rather than your reactive self.
