 An Excerpt from Pause...
Whatever our position in society, whatever commitments we face or the complexities of our personal challenges, we can create a life that soothes our soul. It’s a matter of choice. Running ourselves ragged doesn’t have to be in the program.
We charge through life with bags under our eyes, pills in our pockets, and sadness in our hearts. From the bolt out the door at sunrise, we hammer through the day until we plop into bed. And then up we get to do it again. Lunch is a sandwich in one hand and a phone in the other. At the end of the day, we turn ourselves upside down entertaining instead of relaxing. Exercise is scheduled with military precision and sleep is for wimps. Eating disorders, depression, sleep-deprivation, and techno-overload have become the hallmarks of everyday life. We are rushing down a perilous path, hell-bent on a runaway life, and we are doing it in droves.

About Pause
|
|
Pause: Putting the Brakes on a Runaway Life puts the hurried life on notice. It is not an analysis of the chaos that churns within our complex society, but rather a gentle nudge to inject moments of fun, adventure, self-care and serenity into the day. Watch life dramatically improve when we eliminate meaningless activities, back-to-back commitments, and unfulfilling obligations to make room for that which gives life zest.
Whether we work from home; or slog it out at the office, in a classroom, hospital, or factory, or have taken retirement, life can get ahead of us – if we let it. From cooking with the kids, watching the snow fall on a Saturday afternoon, and escaping on mini-retreats, to shamelessly enjoying daily delights, this book will inspire you to contemplate a pause from the runaway life, if only for a few minutes a day.
So, put up your feet.
Take a deep breath.
Pause awhile.
