Our Backstory:
We’ve been dear friends and co-creators for over 20 years while living in different countries, Michelle in the U.S. and Lilamani in the U.K.
We decided to challenge each other to pause each day for just 15 minutes. This helped us to focus on something positive which made a difference in our mood, energy and spirit. We thought if it could help us, then maybe it could help others too.
Like so many, we’ve had our share of losses, failures, and being stuck in a rut. Despite these difficult circumstances and challenges in our own lives, we discovered pausing helped us become more resilient to cope with life’s curveballs. And so, we purposefully continue to pause and engage in activities that make us feel better. When we pause each day, we noticed a powerful and positive difference in our mood, our relationships and our lives. Interestingly, we learned how pausing makes a positive difference and is linked to joy while researching our self-care 15 Minute Pause book.
Enjoy,
Michelle & Lilamani
