Absolutely. It's like, let's say you're walking and you look up at the clouds, it's hard to see them moving. But if you stop and you look up at the clouds, then you can see them moving. And when you notice the moving, it has this awe, this, this, it's like, wow. And you can see them sort of joining with each other.

And I like to do that because, again, it's a way of getting out of my mind. We always hear like, get into the moment, be authentic. It's like, well, what's the process for doing that? I agree. Right? It's like, what are the steps to get there? And to me, to get into the moment, if we stop walking and look up at the clouds and we start thinking about the clouds, we're totally in the moment.

Yes. Pause is so important. Pressing pause. And we need a tool to slow down. We need a tool to tap into intuitive cues. We need a tool to allow our brains to sync up, to process information and experiences. And so I noticed I was doing these back-to-back-to-back meetings all day long.
