Quick Spoon: Give yourself permission to stop

I'm taking a short break from People Soup during August.

Before I do, I'd like to leave you with one final invitation.

Give yourself permission to stop.

Not forever.

Perhaps for ten minutes.

An afternoon.

Or even a few weeks.

In this final People Soup Quick Spoon before the summer break, Ross McIntosh reflects on what happens when we pause—and what we might notice if we resist the urge to keep going.

Here's something to try

Give yourself permission to stop something. Then simply notice what shows up.

Perhaps it's the urge to stay productive.Perhaps it's the thought: "I should be doing something."Or perhaps you'll notice something you couldn't see because you were too busy carrying on.

People Soup will return in September.
