The Great Pause: Part 2

Continued from last week. Facing fears about slowing down and choosing to take ‘baby step’ pauses. Being ok with ‘snail time’.

Read Part 1 here.

Now that I’m fully on board with pausing, little fears are arising. I’m afraid that people will misinterpret this as a crisis and that I’m unable to teach right now. I’m afraid of ‘losing’ the momentum I was building, afraid of less financial abundance, afraid that I’ve forgotten how to slow down. These are all external, somewhat out of my control fears - yet still need to be named and acknowledged. I also wonder who I am without the busyness and the productivity but I’ve had experience with this existential line of questioning during the pandemic. One of the strongest fears is that I can’t actually pause in the way that I truly need. I’ve said PAUSE but it’s not the instantaneous emergency stop button that I’m wishing for.
