In many situations in life the best thing to do is...pause.

Some very important points discussed there. Thankyou for you offered assistance 🙏

Great podcast! I am making a conscious effort to pause!

ThZnk you 🙏🌺🌸🦋

Loving these podcasts. Thank you 💞

So vary true and relatable. Thank you

Great reminder. I like the judgement free driving as an exercise. Also how we react to those close to us. Good food for thought. 🙏🏻

Excellent. Very wise advice. It's one thing knowing something, acting on it and embodying it is another thing entirely.

Thank you for this podcast.

I love listening to Glen. Pausing before reacting is something I strive for with friends and family. I enjoy his insights and the laughter he shares. I listen to this one once a week at least if not more.

This makes a lot of sense to me. I’m always questioning as to why? I have so many questions:) haha

So true and valuable food for thought. We should all pause more often before we speak! 💞 Thank you 🙏

I thought it was extremely useful. I’m not sure why some people have left negative reviews. You do have to be prepared to set the time aside and listen mindfully. If you know that you find that difficult then wait until you’re ready and then give it a go. I liked it.

Great advice about treating strangers better than friends!

Negative reactions bring on more negativity. .. pause...then react!

Thank you (pause)....i practice MBSR it all takes lots and lots of practice. Respond rather than react 😀

Great food for thought. Namaste 🙏.

It's so refreshing to hear someone talking about honesty in its 'purest' form, and explaining so well how it works in practice, that I just had to put the effort into leaving this feedback! Thank you for this podcast. I've spent years trying to live my life by this principal, still often perceiving myself in a negative way, as someone others might see as blunt or tactless, when I simply pause before I answer, or I say 'no'. With maturity, I've realised more and more that what I am actually doing is simply being honest and am increasingly confident in my stance. I believe my relationships - with my husband, children, close friends and professionally - have benefitted from 'my form' of honesty and are all the richer for it. One illustration of the 'dishonesty' I experience is when I am saying goodbye to someone: maybe leaving their house, a restaurant, a family gathering etc, and someone says "I'll give you a ring". It took me years to realise that it wouldn't actually happen; it was just a throwaway comment, a thing to say to cover the awkwardness of departing, and it left me feeling let down and betrayed. If we could only learn to say what we mean and mean what we say, we would all know exactly where we stand with each other and relationships would be better as they would be built on a solid foundation of openness, honesty and thus trust. Thank you again for sharing this podcast.

Such a wonderful reminder--Thank You❣
