Welcome To Wordless Wednesday At Create With Joy!
Pause
When was the last time that you just stopped in the middle of the day – in the midst of whatever was going on around you – and just paused?
Humans seem to have difficulty untangling themselves from the things they get caught up in – but kitties thrive on pressing the pause button and taking time out of our busy schedules to unwind, breathe and relax!
Take a few moments each day to press the pause button during your busiest moments – center yourself – take a deep breath – and notice what’s going on in your inner and outer world. Stretch and take a walk. Relax and ponder on these thoughts:
Life is a dash.
Pause in the present.
Enjoy this moment.
– J.R. Rim
The moment you stop and look around,
You will get to know that you have so many
Small moments full of happiness.
So just be thankful, as many others don’t have these moments.
There are also some who do, but can’t visualize them;
And even some who have, but can’t appreciate them.
– Vikrmn, 10 Golden Steps of Life
Whatever phase of life you are in,
Make time to pause and reflect where you are heading to.
It is a good time to insert a comma now and realign yourself
To your inner self before your life ends in a full stop.
– Roopleen
A pause gives you
breathing space
so listen
to the whispers
of the real you
waiting to happen.
– Tara Estacaan
Sometimes you need to press pause to let everything sink in.
– Sebastian Vettel
It takes 21 days to cultivate a new habit. Can you press the Pause button for a few minutes each day for the next few weeks until this become habitual?

In fact we should all pause ones in a while. It would be great if we can pause everything but then again how realistic would that be.
Hope you are having a great week!
I know how to pause, just like you, Megallan and I learn Granny every day to do so too and I have to admit she is getting there 😉 Pawkisses for a Relaxed WW 🙂 <3
I try to pause each and every day; just to take a moment to read a chapter in a book I like or to take a walk and just look around at the trees and nature. It’s not easy with three kids always underfoot but I sure do try.
A good day to pause!

Remembering to pause, breath and take a moment for yourself is so important. Great reminder.
Thanks for hosting the hop!
It is hard to find time to relax every day. Stress has been really high for a lot of people lately. I hope that everyone can calm down now and enjoy the holidays. Cats are great at being peaceful! We have a lot to learn from them.
That is so great. We all need to do that. It will make for a better us.
Psalms 46:10,11
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
If we are never still and “pause” we may never know that God is God! Thank you for your thoughts Joy.

Thank you Gracie!

I have a lot of trouble pushing pause. Yoga helps me a lot. I take three classes per week, and I find that hour of stretching and breathing and growing helps me more than I ever thought possible. I recommend it!

Good quotes about pausing. We can learn a lot from watching pets.
