Summary

In today’s episode, Dr. Phyllis talks about something we all need more of in our day. A pause. She opens up about what it has looked like to be in the thick of caregiving, how much growth has come from this season, and how it pushed her to take an honest look at herself. She shares how slowing her life was never the answer, but slowing the moment was. Dr. Phyllis walks through a story from her own life that reminded her to slow down long enough to breathe, notice what is happening, and reset before moving forward. That reset is the heart of this conversation. She introduces a simple practice she calls the sixty second reset. It is quick, intentional, and something you can use anytime you feel overwhelmed or pulled in too many directions. All it takes is three deep breaths and a clear choice about your next action. When you do that, you interrupt the autopilot, break the busyness, and return to yourself. This episode is a reminder that it only takes one breath, one pause, and one present moment to come back into alignment. http://drphyllishayesreams.com/ https://www.instagram.com/drphyllishayesreams/ https://www.facebook.com/phyllis.hayesreams
