Pausemeister Pics

One of life's toughest challenges is to practice what you preach. I've learned much about pausing for renewal, because I needed - and continue to need - the lessons myself.

Happily, I'm improving as a student of the practice. Enjoy the evidence – and think about creating your own Pause Portfolio to remind you of the value of time out in your life.

Send us a photo of yourself in 'time out' mode. We'll add it to the growing Pause Photo Collection contributed by our regular Pause subscribers.

Not yet a Pause subscriber, yourself? We can solve that problem right now. Just click on Free Weekly E-zine.

"Those who are caught up in the busy life have neither the time nor quiet to come to understand themselves and their goals. Since the opportunity for inward attention hardly ever comes, many people have not heard from themselves for a long, long time. Those who are always 'on the run' never meet anyone any more, not even themselves."
