0:00.0	Welcome to the Black Girl Burnout Podcast, Kelly here.
0:12.8	And today I want to talk to you about how to opt into the power of the pause.
0:20.1	Basically, we're going to talk about how to cultivate a life of stillness.
0:24.1	And earlier this week, we did talk about how to avoid running away from problems and that
0:31.3	one way we may avoid facing our issues is by running away from sitting with this comfort.
0:39.4	Well, today we're going to explore this a little bit more, but from a more affirming positive side, basically we're going to talk about
0:46.8	how mindfulness can create a life of joy for you. And it's not something that may come easy to us. I know if you're like me,

1:55.3	phrase of power of the pause, what I'm alluding to is just simply creating moments where you are in control of adding
2:03.6	some mindfulness back into your life, adding stillness, taking a breath, taking a moment,
2:11.4	practicing just a few seconds sometimes of stillness is that power of the pause. There are times where our temptation is to just
2:21.7	keep go, go, go, go, go, going. Push through. Push past. And while there are times where that
2:29.5	needs to happen, more times than not, if we were able to take a pause, we might make better decisions.
