PAUSE for 3 mindful breaths

“While "stopping to smell the roses" may look different for all of us, the lesson is one with which we can all relate.
Mindfulness means slowing down and allowing our mind and our body to be in the same place at the same time irrespective of where we are or what we are doing.
Where in your life might you want to, metaphorically, stop and smell the roses?
The practice is to slow down and mindfully call your mind back to your body and enjoy the moment.
It's really the only moment you have, so why not be fully present in it?”
-Dennis Merritt Jones
