Ep 105 | The Pause Is Not a Stop

Say the word pause to a high performer and something tightens. They hear stopping. Falling behind. The pile of work getting higher while they sit there. That is the wrong picture. The pause is not a stop. It is a half second, the gap between what happens and what you do next. It takes less time than reading a text. Watch a tennis player between points. The pause is not a break in the performance. It is part of it. You do not need a different life. You need more of you in the life you already have. And you cannot get more of you into anything if you are never in the room when the decision gets made. 00:00 Intro  00:35 What tightens when I say "pause"  01:20 The pause is not a stop  02:08 What the tennis player knows  03:10 Every point with the last one attached  04:25 I built my weeks the wrong way  05:40 Why the pause makes you faster  06:00 What makes the pause hard  06:49 Sitting in the gap  07:40 One moment, one breath  08:40 The question to sit withSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
