Pause in everyday life

We live a life of continuous run, without any pause.

We run for work, we run from work, we are always in a hurry and we are always occupied with something.

We don’t give time to heal or to rest or take a pause and relax for a while and this exhausts our mind and body.

We are humans and not machines and we need some break, some pause from the everyday run if we want to keep our health in a good state.

And this pause or this relaxation is better if taken on a regular basis rather than waiting for weekends or vacations.

Because the toxic thoughts and feelings that we build in ourselves due to our daily hustle will get worsen with each added day.

But people think that taking time for themselves on a regular basis is a time-consuming and heavy task.

Whereas in reality, it is not. If we do small things, right things, and impactful things then we can achieve good output even in a very short time.

Time as short as 15-20 minutes.

Excited? Surprised? Don’t believe me?

Let’s see some of the effective and impactful ways in which you can take a pause in everyday life and yield the most beneficial outputs for yourself and your health.

Go on a small walk.

Yes, going on a small walk everyday can give you surprising results and benefits not only for physical health but also for mental health.

Taking small walks (especially alone) will cut you out of the chaos that you are dealing with.

You will start thinking about something that you like or feel good about.

It brings you close to nature and that itself is one of the biggest benefits of the small walk.

Moreover, after the walk, you feel relaxed and have a certain level of calmness and peace of mind.

Another effective action that is most underestimated is breathing (deep breathing).

In most of the spiritual institutions breathing is considered the first and the most important task.

They teach their students how to breathe correctly and how to use breathing as a tool to deal with negative emotions.

Just taking a few deep breaths will increase positivity and energize you.

Because when we take deep breaths, we increase the amount of oxygen in our body, this results in a good amount of oxygen reaching our brain and heart and thus increasing our overall state.

pause in life and enjoy your meals everyday

We have become so busy in our life that we just rush through the very action that ensures our survival, i.e., eating food.

Yes, having your meals is a very important task that you perform daily but you sit, eat, and run.

When was the last time that you sat peacefully and enjoyed your meal?

On weekends? On vacations? Why not every day?

It doesn’t take more than 15-20 minutes to have your meal and I think you can cut off yourself for that much time from your daily pressure and enjoy your meal.

Kindness is the best way to connect with others and make them feel valued.

Think freely.

Thoughts are the very thing that can make or break us both in the inner and outer world.

So thinking freely and with an open mind is very important.

Whenever you feel like you are in a very messed situation or problem, just breath and sit in an open space, if possible sit outside or somewhere wide open and closer to nature, and then start processing and thinking about the issue and believe me you will be having more answers than you were having before.

Listen to others.

be a good listener

All of us are good talkers or speakers but very few of us are good listeners.

And believe me when you allow someone to speak and you actually listen to them, they admire you a lot.

They feel that you gave importance to them and their thoughts and that in today’s world is too much of a value.

And if the same is done in professional life or a place where you are learning, then the increase in knowledge is unpredictable.

A good listener, a good observer will always be a good and fast learner.

Take one step at a time.

one day at a time

It is always said that we should only focus on our next step. We should take one step at a time.

And the same is true with our life and our purpose.

We put ourselves in so much pressure and worry so much about our goals and achieving it that we stop living and make each nervous and physical breakdown.

We should only focus on today and today’s task and that is what will help us in achieving our goals in the best possible way.

This will also increase your efficiency and quality of your work and remove the unnecessary pressure that you build on yourself.

These were a few of the ways in which you can take a pause in your everyday life.
