A “picopause” is a little loving nudge towards simplicity and serenity.
Yesterday, I suggested a way to make decisions easier when two (or more) people disagree. Today’s picopause is about making decisions easier for ourselves.
Looking for the “still calm voice” means taking some quiet time to give your mind a chance to wander. By making a practice of sitting — literally just sitting and doing nothing else — for several minutes at least once a day, you can start to develop the ability to hear the “still calm voice”, and that voice will give you the strength/direction/insight that you need.
In other words, people usually already know the right answer. They just need to be quiet for long enough to hear it.
*This might sound pretty “woo-woo”. Okay, it definitely sounds woo-woo. I’ll give you that. But it actually does work. If you are at all skeptical, I urge you not to fall into the easy trap of “contempt prior to investigation”.
