    The Return to Mental Pause

    The Return to Mental Pause Three years ago I started the Mental Pause podcast as a quiet rebellion against the noise of the world. Then life happened.  Fear crept in.  And somewhere along the way, I stopped recording. This episode is the honest return. A conversation about losing your voice, learning to trust yourself again, and the moment you realize you were never meant to shrink your way through life. If you’ve been feeling the pull to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what’s true for you, this space was created with you in mind. Welcome back to Mental Pause. In this episode we explore • What happens when we slowly stop trusting ourselves  • The subtle ways we give away our voice and power  • How awareness begins the moment we pause  • The shift from shrinking to living with purpose and intention The Philosophy Behind This Work PauseUnwindBecomeAnchorExtraordinary begins with truth. Extraordinary rises through courage. Extraordinary endures through trust.

And where we become who we're meant to be.

    012 Wellness Wednesday Episode - Words Matter

    Welcome to today's Wellness Wednesday edition of the Mental Pause Podcast with Tracey. Today, it is all about WORDS MATTER. Inspired by a recent LinkedIn post of a dear friend and the reminder of Don Miguel Ruiz's "The Four Agreements." As human beings, we use our words in ways that can positively and negatively impact others. While we may be mindful or "impeccable" with our words, they are not always interpreted or received in how we present them. Over the last few decades, I can share from personal experiences how words have significantly changed my life in ways that I wasn't consciously aware of. Only now, at half a century old, am I able to reflect on the past trauma and bring to the forefront learnings that are now awarenesses in my body. Do you check in on those you communicate with to ensure they have interpreted your messages as intended? How do you reflect on the way someone's words made you feel? Do you have the courage to reach out and let someone know that the story you are focusing on with the words shared may not be as intended? Let's remind ourselves and one another when we may not have interpreted the words and their meaning appropriately. Until next time, Tracey Follow me on Insta @mental.pause

    010 Motivation Monday - Coming Home to Your Body

    Today's motivational Monday episode calls you to recognize your body! I am discussing coming home to our bodies with action, should you choose to accept. I had an aha moment today about taking my amazing body for granted every day. Not recognizing the magic each and every day that our bodies provide us. For those of us that own vehicles, we schedule maintenance, oil changes, tire rotations, and the list goes on; let me reiterate we SCHEDULE these times in advance to ensure the vehicle's longevity. Yet we struggle to unplug from computers, mobile devices, TVs and video games to SCHEDULE maintenance, rest, and rejuvenation for our bodies. The human vehicle that moves us through our day! I invite you to take 5 - 10 minutes each day to sit with your body in a quiet surrounding, listening to your breath, and when you exhale, let go of the negativity towards your body. Stand in the mirror, look yourself in the eyes and acknowledge the extraordinary things you love or respect about your body. Remember to fuel your body with the water and nourishment it needs to fuel your body. In health and wellness, schedule time to love your body! Thank you for joining me today! Until next time. I would love to hear from you; you can follow me on IG @mental.pause

    007 The Nature and Awareness of Things

    Around the world people are stepping outdoors to explore and experience the simple beauty of nature; spending time in the mountains, hiking, at the beach, canoeing, kayaking or simply outdoors within their communities and neighbourhoods. It is beautiful to see people enjoying the beauty that surrounds them and for those of us like myself, imagining what it feels like to be sitting in a kayak on completely still waters watching the sunset...breathtaking and the calmness and serenity to the body, mind and spirit!  I talk about being outside with your feet on the ground and taking in a few soothing breaths to release the stress, anxiety, and boredom.  Being aware of your surroundings and embracing no matter what it is with love and kindness.   Do you have nature following you?  Are there specific birds, flowers, butterflies or other animals that cross your path while exploring the outdoors?  Have you taken the time to know if they are visiting you to share a message or a symbol of what you are attracting based on your energy;  I share my own journey with a Monarch Butterfly guiding me over the last few weeks.  I am not certain where it wants me to follow to; what I do know is the butterfly is a metaphor for transformation and hope.  Totally agree with transformation, I believe many of us (if not all) around the world are in a state of transformation and hope.  What about other awarenesses like your body?  Do you pay attention to the irritations, itching, burning or other sensations in your body?  Did you know when you ignore these irritations the magic of our body continues to look for our attention by moving the irritation to pain as an example an itchy eye one day could turn into a migraine 2 - 3 days later.  I share some insights regarding my own messages from my body and how I was able to listen and release through this awareness.  I hope you enjoy the episode!  If you have any questions or would like to understand more about the messages from your body and how to be more aware in situations; connect in with me on Instagram https://instagram.com/mental.pause follow my instagram and share your Mental.Pause moments of "the nature and awareness of things" with the community! Please share your Mental.Pause moments outdoors and the nature or awareness of things that you have experienced. Thank you again for listening!  Make it a great day, BECAUSE YOU CAN!
