STOP! For Stressful Moments

STOP is a fabulous mindfulness micro practice you can use to redirect your thoughts, emotions, and actions. You can use it any time you need a moment of mindfulness. For example, when you’ve been triggered by something stressful at work, or someone has said something to you in a meeting and you’re about to respond in a way that you might later regret!

STOP provides you an opportunity to pause before you react automatically, it creates a space for you to observe your feelings and thoughts and gives you time to access deeper resources within you so you can respond in a much more thoughtful way.

STOP allows you to break out of auto-pilot mode, grounds you in the present moment, and allows you to shift your attention onto what’s most important for you going forward. In this way, you can proceed from a place of greater wisdom, strength, choice, and presence.
