Pause
Take a moment to step out of the auto pilot “doing mode”
into simply being here and now
by bringing awareness to the sensations of
your next three breaths

"Applying a moment of mindfulness before sending an email can save a lot of time and effort clearing up misinterpretations. Similarly, being mindful after reading an email can reduce stress and prevent escalation.
Every time you have finished writing an email, before you send it, why not try pausing and asking yourself:
• Does this email need to be sent at all?
• Does it contain the message and the necessary information that I want to pass on?
• How will the recipient perceive this email?”

Wishing you many moments of
kindness, peace and joy
as you move through this last day of February
