Pausing will expose the story they already have about you
Pausing to stay grounded is not avoidance.
It is leadership. It is respect. It is kindness.
You pause so you do not react from emotion.
You pause so you can choose words that line up with your values.
You pause so you can see the whole picture, not just your trigger.
You pause so you can do right by everyone, including yourself.
That same pause will often expose the story people already carry about you.
Some will think:
“She is thoughtful.”
“He is taking this seriously.”
“They are giving this the care it deserves.”
Others will think:
“They are ignoring me.”
“They do not care.”
“I have to push harder or I will be walked over.”
Your pause did not create their story.
It revealed it.
You are not responsible for rewriting someone else’s inner narrative about who you are.
You are responsible for staying in integrity with your own.
Keep pausing. Keep being kind. Keep being respectful.
The people who are meant to build with you will recognize it as respect, not disrespect.
