<p>You may have noticed that the month of April was pretty slow for me.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t post a blog entry, I barely posted on Youtube, and I wasn&#8217;t as active on my social media platforms. My birthday was last month and for some reason I felt different about this one. I didn&#8217;t have a big party and I didn&#8217;t go out because I wanted the opportunity to <strong><em>practice the pause</em></strong>.</p>
<p>Life is happening all around us but in the times that we&#8217;re living in, it can be hard to <img class="wp-image-2165 alignright" src="https://queentoqueens.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/img_3460.jpg" alt="IMG_3460" width="235" height="314" />truly soak in all of the moments because we&#8217;re always consumed with something else. We&#8217;re thinking about tomorrow before it even comes. We&#8217;re scrolling through endless social media feeds of people we have never had a conversation with.</p>

<p>We&#8217;re doing everything BUT living in this moment, right here&#8230; and that&#8217;s the only thing promised to us. The <strong><em>here and now.</em></strong></p>
<p>So, this month I put the phone down more, I looked up at the sky more often and I took the time out to listen to my own thoughts. This is something that I want to practice from here on out. Whenever I feel like I&#8217;m getting too consumed with the outside forces, I&#8217;m going to disconnect from things that really don&#8217;t mean anything and reconnect with myself&#8230; and that&#8217;s more important and more valuable than anything.</p>
<p>From Me to You, Love.

Practicing the Pause
