    74 // You’re Not Lazy - You’re Just On Autopilot -The Power Of The Pause

    So many of our habits aren’t a conscious choice > they’re automatic. In this episode, I’m talking about power of the pause: the moment between a thought and an action. The moment where you think: “I should get off my phone and go to bed”“I said I’d go for a walk”“I feel like scrolling Instagram”And instead of reacting on autopilot… you pause. That tiny pause is where awareness, self-trust, and better choices are built 🤝 We talk about: Why habits are hard to change when they’re unconsciousHow pausing gives you the power to choose differentlyThe simple questions that help you decide what actually serves youHow waiting, even for a second, can change your behaviourThis is a skill you can practice daily ~ and when you do, everything starts to shift. If you’ve been feeling stuck in loops, on your phone too much, or disconnected from your goals… this episode is for you 🕺🏼 Try OPAL yourself here   🎧✨🍋⚡️🌞🪩    Connect with me: IG: @iamsophiekate Enquire about health coaching here 🎧✨🍋⚡️🌞🪩   🪩 If you loved this ep + are enjoying the pod - please make sure to follow so you don’t miss out on any of the delicious episodes coming up 😍 ⚡️ If you feel called - share to your IG stories & tag @iamsophiekate 🌞 AND, it would mean the absolute world if you rated & reviewed, I love any feedback + want to make this better for all of you trusting me in your earholes!
