Stop and Think

Many countries insist you stop at the STOP sign; France for example has a three second rule and you will be fined if your car is observed to continue motion and is not truly stationary. The defence of ‘there was nothing coming, officer’ carries no weight of course.

Life demands of a similar guideline; regularly ‘stop and think’. What do you notice? What do you feel? What do you sense? Do it several times a day. Be it AI, a nagging ache or a looming presentation, being stationary for a while does no harm at all to anticipate the potential threats.
