Welcome to Monday Mosaic the weekly newsletter from Reflective Wisdom, which offers you a collection of tips and resources so you can stay fulfilled in your influence as an educator.
Changing Your Frequency
One of the most important steps to shift your frequency to put yourself in a calmer state is to pause. We live in a constant connected world. GOING. GOING. GOING. DOING. DOING. DOING.
So Pause let’s to take a timeout from that. To just be with yourself and open space to ask yourself, “How am I?”
So to create the best conditions for Pause, we will use music and comfortable location. You can use the featured music and find a comfortable spot where you can be free from distraction. While you are pausing, take a moment to ask yourself - What impact do I make?
Enjoy!
