Ep. 26 How Long Can You Pause?

On this episode, host Bree Johnson discusses the mindfulness approach from the book 'Man's Search for Meaning' by Victor Frankl. He spoke about the importance of pausing and reflecting before responding to stimuli.

 

This practice helps individuals move away from mindless reactions and towards more authentic and thoughtful responses. This mindfulness practice helps leaders in stressful and emotionally-charged situations regulate their reactions and prevent spiraling into unproductive activities. The goal is to create more space, compassion, and peace in both personal and work life.
