What happens in the space between being triggered and responding?

Viktor Frankl wrote: “Between stimulus and response there is a space.”

That space is where having a consistent mindfulness practice can make a difference.

We can pause, take a breath, notice what we're feeling, and give ourselves a moment to choose our response rather than simply reacting.

We can't always control what happens around us. But we can practice becoming more aware of how we meet what happens.

Sometimes this is easier said than done!

How often do we listen to someone’s story and, without realizing it, begin thinking about our own? It’s human.

Before sharing your own experience, pause and ask, “Can I stay curious about what they’re feeling before bringing it back to me?” or perhaps ask that person a clarifying question?

With presence,

Sometimes the prison keeping us stuck isn’t around us, it’s within us.

It can be built from fear, self-doubt, old beliefs, protective patterns, or stories we’ve carried for years without realizing they’re still influencing our choices.

The good news? What once helped us survive doesn’t have to determine how we live today.

Mindfulness can help us notice these patterns with greater curiosity and compassion. And when we can see what’s happening within us, we have more freedom to choose how we respond.

As a mindfulness teacher, one of the things I value most is helping people begin to recognize the doors to their own inner prisons, and discover that they may have more freedom than they realized.

What might become possible if you stopped seeing your patterns as something wrong with you and started seeing them as something you could get gently curious about?

Be well!

Do you ever replay a conversation in your mind for hours or even days after it happened?

I have. 🙋‍♀️ Sometimes our minds just keep going…

Why did I say that? What did they mean by that? I should have said something different.

Having a mindfulness practice doesn’t mean we never get caught up in our thoughts. It simply means that when we notice we can gently choose what to focus our attention on.

No need to be harsh with ourselves or make thoughts disappear.

Just notice and kindly choose what to focus on, perhaps its a task on hand, the breath or sounds?

The ego isn't inherently bad. It often develops to protect us.

When we have a consistent mindfulness practice, it helps us recognize when the ego is reacting from fear outside of practice.

By meeting those moments with curiosity rather than judgment, we create space to respond with greater awareness, compassion, and choice.

Thank you Jason Tracey for the podcast opportunity.

We often see the world in black and white, right or wrong, success or failure, good or bad. While this way of thinking can feel certain, it rarely reflects the complexity of real life.

When we move beyond either/or thinking, we create space for wiser decisions, deeper relationships, and greater emotional well-being.

Having a consistent mindfulness practice helps us notice the shades of gray, the places where growth, compassion, and understanding often live.

What is one situation where embracing nuance changed your perspective?

Thank you Jason Tracey for the podcast opportunity.

Some days, the weight of the world's suffering can feel overwhelming.

Compassion doesn't stop at borders. Our shared humanity invites us to care for people we may never meet while also tending to our own well-being. Self-compassion isn't turning away from suffering, it helps us remain present without becoming consumed by it.

May we choose kindness, wisdom, and compassion today, wherever we are.
