When we are so busy moving and going, it is hard to know what is motivating what.  God invites us to pause and pay attention to what portion of ourselves is showing up for our lives at any given moment. I do not believe there is some perfectly balanced human being who is equally all portions of body, mind, heart, and soul all the time.  It is more like dancing and weaving through life attempting to bring the right portion of heart and mind to a decision. It is remembering to bring a portion of the soul when seeing the face of someone we cannot stand.  It is adding a portion of logic when we are emotionally overwrought. It is adding a dabbed portion of the body when we feel stuck in our heads.  The elements of ourselves are involved at all times.  The energetic layer which portions out what is driving our thoughts, feelings, actions, and habits tells us something about the efficacy of our lives. If we want to make some changes maybe it is less about being someone else or doing something drastic and more about changing which portions are present.  The power of the pause God taught me on our dates gives me room to notice what portion of myself is most present and available in the moment I am in.  From there I can choose to respond.
