Do you need a timeout? Certainly, the pandemic has delivered a universal timeout over the past two years. And we're used to giving our kids timeouts. But in our day-to-day lives, we also need to step away sometimes. Perhaps from your kids, your work, or your life.

This week, we explore how to know when you need an adult timeout.

And how you can utilize the old adage of STOP, LOOK, and LISTEN to reconnect with yourself. So, you can return back to the demands of your life feeling more centered and open. 

YOUR ONE THING:
This week, your One Thing is to take a purposeful time out. When you feel that rise of anger, frustration or overwhelm...or that sinking of doubt, guilt, or shame…or you just need to step away…STOP…take a timeout. 

Turn inward to LOOK at your thoughts, how you feel, what’s going on…

Finally, be willing to LISTEN to see what insights, ideas, patterns or actions you might do differently or what’s here for you to understand.
