Practice the PAUSE.


Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you feel like you overreacted causing the situation to be worse?


Thinking to yourself, well maybe I shouldn't have done this or said that?


✨Hindsight is usually 20/20✨


The next time that you find yourself in a conflicting situation, challenge yourself to shift your thoughts and PAUSE.


Below is a helpful strategy to help you practice pausing before reacting.



PAUSE

PAUSE before JUDGING

PAUSE before ASSUMING

PAUSE before ACCUSING

PAUSE before REACTING


- Lori Deschene


💡Practicing the PAUSE enables you to avoid escalation. Most of the time, we react too quickly to situations that can easily be de-escalated.


🌸The next time you are in a situation where you want to immediately react in a negative way, use it as an opportunity to practice the pause.


🌱Avoid doing and saying things that you'll regret later by simply thinking before you react.
