Mystrikast — Pausing to Be More Human

from Mystrikast · host Duncan McDonald

Here’s the episode where we slow down — on purpose. We will dig into a simple, radical move at the core of Mystrikism: the deliberate pause. Not a vague mindfulness platitude, but a real, practical gap between the itch and the scratch where you can choose better. We talk about training that tiny space so it becomes second nature — one clean breath before you answer, an honest “let me think,” the ultimate “I don’t know,” or taking a day (or a fortnight) when the stakes are high. That pause is justice in miniature: it trims bias, makes room for evidence, and keeps awe alive — our natural “spiritual” response to reality. You’ll hear how this practice helps us domesticate the jumpy animal inside without denying it, and lean into the best of being human: empathy, rationality, and that wide-eyed sense of wonder. We also show how the Integrated Principles of Science (IPS) aren’t just for labs — they’re for Tuesday afternoons and tough conversations. Pause, observe, test your assumptions, revise, and act with intent. That’s the method, lived.By the end, you’ll have a workable way to turn reaction into reflection and reflection into better action — the snail’s pace that actually gets you further. https://www.mystrikism.orghttps://www.facebook.com/groups/1782830925522213/ [email protected]
