Hello, and welcome back to the Self-Healer Samboard.

On this week's episode, we want to take a moment to pause and reflect.

Now when we talk about reflecting, we're usually reflecting to do something, to reflect

on our past, to learn something, to decipher something, to compare something, or maybe reflecting

to celebrate something.

And aside from all of the byproducts that come from reflection, we want to just stop

at reflection itself, and really the act of pausing and reflecting, which means pausing

and really being conscious and intentional with our thoughts in that moment.

I think a lot of times to speak to your point, Jenna, and actually a podcast conversation

we have had in the past was around the action of pausing for celebration.

I think it's come to our attention after having a couple of weeks with events or milestones,

points at which people reflect.

I think it got me to thinking in general of just like we're talking about the action of

of hitting stop and how so many of us, and even myself included, we have, we're living

a life where we're literally going from one thing to the next.

And so whether or not we're stopping to celebrate or we're just stopping, maybe to reassess

or to acknowledge, I think to speak to your point, there's so much power in the pause.

And so very few of us do it.

And I think it's so easy to just look ahead and a lot of what we're talking about.

Of course, when we're talking about healing is looking toward a future that's different,

though, it is incredibly important to have those moments of of pause or of reflection

of space.
