Hi reader,

If you pay attention, there are natural breaks in your life.

It is the pause at an unexpected red light. A sudden cancelation in your packed schedule. A slow down to wait for another person moving at a different pace.

Often, we miss them because we don’t take them as opportunities, but as burdens.

Think about it: The very thing we crave, The Pause, is the very thing we complain about. I don’t think we mean to get frustrated at that traffic light, the schedule shift, or the slower companion.

We just want to do The Pause on our own time. When we can plan it. When we can control it.

So how many moments of rest do we miss because it isn’t in the exact way we envisioned? And, over time, how much rest will that time add up to be?

As I talk about in The Productive Bite-Sized Entrepreneur, my daily meditation practice works because I do just 5 minutes. Five minutes sitting on my behind. It is just short enough before one of my kids starts looking for me (well, most of the time). But, because it is small, my moment of rest can fit into any schedule I’ve had for the past two decades.

Like a habit, our pennies of rest adds up into dividends over time ⏳

On today’s BringYourWorth.tv, I’ll share how you can make room for rest, carve out time in your schedule, and take it easier intense environments.
