Prime Day and the Power of Pause

The Pause Button

Prime Day 2023

If you're old enough to remember, there was a time when the only thing you could pause was your VCR.  Everything else you missed if you didn't catch it in time.  It left us with this feeling of missing out!  If you missed a television show, you'd have to wait for the summer reruns to catch it again.  If it was a TV special, it was gone forever.

In today's world, we do not have that issue.  We can pause anything and everything.  TV, Streaming, Youtube, Tik Tok.  You name it, it's waits for you until you're ready for it.  You have the Power of Pause

The same goes for life.  We live in a go, go, go world.  Sometimes it feels if we don't do something right now, we're going to miss out on it.  We feel we have to get it right this minute.  We have to take care of it in the moment.  We have to BUY IT RIGHT NOW.  Especially when Amazon gives us only two days of deals!

So today, use the power of pause when shopping.  I'm not saying to put a hold on it forever, but try one simple trick.  Go shopping, but put it all in the cart.  Don't click buy right away.  Then in 15 minutes, an hour, two hours, come back and review use the list using the three questions from our previous post.

If you can answer them - Buy away!

And find ways to pause your life whenever possible.  Not only does it give you the power to do what you want, you always have time to come back to the things you love.

Happy last day of Prime!
