I needed to read this today. I need to release.

It's amazing how many people won't even take 5 minutes for themselves. It's not optional. It's essential like you're sharing Cara.

We keep reminding each other. Some day it will stick.

Sometimes the best thing I do all day is stop for a few minutes and loosen my grip on everything I’m carrying — the roles, the plans, the history. As a father, a grandfather, and someone who spends a lot of time on the pickleball court, it’s easy for me to stay wrapped in motion. But a few quiet minutes during a hectic day has a way of resetting the whole system. A small pause, big effect.

It is easy to stay in motion. I’m as guilty as anyone. You are right, that a small pause can have a big effect. And we won’t know it until we try. Thanks Bob!

I wasn't going to mention it, but I meditate twice a day. Once in the morning as soon as I get up, and in the late afternoon before dinner. These are definitely quiet times, but during the day, right before or after writing or interacting with others, I like to take a few minutes to chill out (so to speak).

I’m so glad you did mention it. Thank you for being a great example Bob. We need to share what’s working with each other.

I wonder if you know this song: https://youtu.be/m_k1ZEZg138 — it’s the meditative musical version of this post. (For which … thank you!)

I do not! Thank you Susie. What a great share.
