Welcome to the lifepause project

I’m hoping to build a digital haven for those who feel the world is becoming too loud, too chaotic and too stressful.

I’m calling it the lifepause project because I believe that when we slow down and put our lives on pause, we can rediscover our balance and hear the quiet voice inside us.

Then we realise that movement isn’t necessarily progress and we give ourselves a chance to regain perspective. We reclaim control of time and we widen our vision. And when we find the calm, we find clarity.

Give it a try. Find a tranquil spot - a beach, a garden, a church - somewhere where you can summon your muse, where you can slow down your mind and breathe in the atmosphere.

In the stillness, what matters most is quietly revealed. it’s in those still moments that we remember who we really are.

These are not new thoughts. Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626) said: “Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom.”

With the lifepause project, I’m hoping to use short reflections to help you rediscover the quiet power of slowing down, allowing you to pause, observe, reflect and grow.

Pausing doesn’t mean doing nothing. It’s a positive choice to take control, rather than being swept along in a mindless rush. It’s a chance to change the pace of your world, one pause, one gentle act of noticing at a time.

Join the lifepause project with us, pause, observe, reflect and grow from within.

I’ve drawn these reflections from the pages of my motivational books Finding Beauty, High Hopes, Now Is The Time and Make The Most of You.
