The Power of Pausing
Mastering Your Moments
People Focused Professional
In every challenging situation, there's a
crucial instant where you can choose
your next move, rather than just reacting.
The Impulse
Trap
We all encounter frustrating
comments, sudden changes,
or demanding messages.
Our initial inclination can be
to fire back, defend our
position, or lash out.

SEND
Your Brain's
Secret Window
That brief interval is your
conscious mind gaining
control over your
emotional impulses.
Even a few seconds allow
your awareness to take
the lead from automatic
responses.
2
Meenakshi Khakat
Your Simple Practice
The Mindful Stop
Inhale deeply through your nose.
Exhale slowly, releasing tension.
Reflect:
"What would my most insightful self do in
this situation?"
3
Meenakshi Khakat
This deliberate pause may not always feel
natural at first, but its impact on your
interactions and outcomes will be profound.
Choose Your
IMPACT
