65. Mini Jolt: How to Pause Before You Say Something You Regret

This spring, Whitney immersed herself in a 200-hour meditation teacher training certification program and she's so excited to share lots of new learnings and tools! ‌ Today she teaches the 16 Seconds technique, a mindfulness exercise developed by meditation expert and author, and one of Whitney's mentors, Davidji. It involves taking 16 seconds to pause, breathe, and choose a conscious response to a situation, rather than reacting impulsively. Whether at home or at work, 16 Seconds is perfect to try out any time you're in a conversation and feel stress or tension rising in your body. With practice, you'll learn to pause and respond to situations with more calm and skill, rather than reactivity.   Whitney would love to know how your experience with 16 Seconds goes!
