The Pause

I was up and out of the house quite early to volunteer at a 5k this morning. It was my first time being involved in this type of event from a different perspective. Usually, I'm a participant! I was thrilled to witness the behind-the-scenes work that goes into such fantastic events. There were 5 volunteers at the water station I was assigned to. We had a bit of free time before the runners were due, so we were engaging in a casual conversation about life in general. Reflecting on it now, the question I posed seemed quite profound -"What do you do for self care?". They replied, "Well, I go to the gym and workout. That's my self care". Fair enough. I used to think that was the only self-care *I* needed. The endorphins you release in even just a short 20 minute workout, have huge long-lasting, positive effects. And let me clarify, it definitely qualifies as self-care, even in my case, but I crave something more now. Need, even. So I prompted a further question, "What do you do for slow self care?" They paused. They couldn't say. It was the first time I realized I asked someone a question that they actually had to stop and THINK about. Although I'm sure I've asked similar questions before, what truly surprised me was my heightened sense of awareness of the pause.
