When emotions take over, we react by venting, blaming, or shutting down.

But before you act, pause and ask:

Is this actually helping me feel better?

Emotional release is natural. But unchecked reactions rarely heal or solve anything.

The real power lies in the pause, the space between impulse and intention.

That’s where clarity, growth, and better decisions are made.

Next time you’re triggered, take control.

Pause. Recenter. Respond with intention.

How will you use your next moment of pause?
