The Power of the Pause.

The Power of the Pause

There is no denying the beauty of a sunset. Oftentimes a beautiful sunset can make you pause what you are doing and revel in the beauty; giving you a break from the nonstop pace of your day and offering you an opportunity to be in the moment.

This pause is more important to your well being than you realize. This pause offers you the opportunity to check in with yourself, to focus on your breathing, to allow positive feelings of awe, savoring, and gratitude into your conscious thought, and typically elicits a smile on your face.

The next time you pause to watch a beautiful sunset, or pause to enjoy a moment of beauty and peace of your own choosing, take an extra minute to focus on the positive effects that the moment offers and challenge yourself to keep that feeling of well being as you move on from your pause.
