I remember the first time I consciously experienced the present moment. I was traveling in Australia and finally had the time to read the book ‘The Power of Now’ by Eckhart Tolle.

I was so burned out I didn't open a book in years.

On the way from our little Airbnb to the beach I applied what I had learned from Eckhart Tolle.

And boooom! There it was.

A moment of presence. I had never felt like this before.

Light, calm, enthusiastic, content — almost high.

As I progressed on my mindfulness journey, I discovered many valuable skills and techniques for more inner peace and happiness.

But one simple mindfulness skill I wish I had known from the start is how to pause.

Find out how to master the art of pausing and why it’s key for your mindfulness journey.

Pausing is the way to freedom

The ability to pause is an underrated life hack nobody is talking about.

A pause can be just a second to focus on your breath.

It can be taking 15 minutes each day to meditate.
