#320 The Power of Hitting the Pause Button

Before you think about hitting the pause button, at least get through the latest episode of Jill on Money, because it's a good one! We started with Cindy in California, whose misfortune of losing her dad a couple years ago led to an inheritance worth more than $2 million.  But now Cindy is having a hard time finding someone trustworthy to help her formulate a plan, hence the call to us.  It was far from a simple answer so we kept her around for a couple segments.

Okay, now to Rachael O'Meara, our guest this week in hour two.  I have to say, I really enjoyed her new book, Pause: Harnessing the Life-Changing Power of Giving Yourself a Break.

Let's face it, we've all been there.  The feeling of being overwhelmed, burned out or stuck at work or in life. Your impulse might be to lean in and tough it out, but what you may really need to do is take a step back, reassess your life with a clear head and dive back in with purpose and poise.  And that's what this book is all about.  Taking that pause, taking a deep breath, regrouping and jumping back on the horse.

Throughout the book Rachael guides you through the steps of your own pause journey:

• The signs that you’re in need of a meaningful break
• Planning your optimal pause—whether it’s as short as a day or as long as an epic journey
• Reentering the world with renewed clarity and purpose

Rachel's book will give you the tools necessary to lead a more satisfying and fulfilling life -- and you may be able to do that by taking a five-minute walk outside, spending a day unplugged from digital devices, or taking off some time to simply quiet your mind.P.S.
