“Mindfulness gives you time. Time gives you choices. Choices, skillfully made, lead to freedom. You don’t have to be swept away by your feeling. You can respond with wisdom rather than habit and reactivity.”
Came across this quote today. It is interesting to think about the relationship between time and choice. I spend the majority of my day in reactive mode. Reactivity is habit in response. I think the power of pause or time as suggested above is the power to change your life. The power to listen and watch as opposed to acting out of habit. Within the pause is the power to eat one less marshmallow, or drink one less beer.
