I saw this on Facebook the other day. Practice the pause. What good advice. Hard to practice, but possibly something to be more mindful of. According to this article, it only takes 90 seconds for your brain to process emotions. If you are stuck in a state such as anger or sadness, it is because you are processing that emotion over and over in your head; therefore, you get stuck. If we can recognize our feelings of anger, sadness, or resentment, we can pause, feel it, and then let it go. We don’t need to be stuck in a state because of our own minds. So practice the pause.

Practice the Pause. Pause before you assume. Pause before you accuse. Pause before you react out of emotion. That Pause can save you a lot of regret.
