Finding Peace in the Pause

🌸 Inspiration Corner

“Everything that has a beginning has an ending. Make your peace with that and all will be well.” This line from Jack Kornfield speaks gently but firmly to something we often avoid—letting go. As a business owner, I’ve had seasons where I clung too tightly to what once worked: a strategy, a product, a client. But clinging only created stress and stalled my growth.

Mindfulness taught me to stop wrestling with endings. Projects close, trends fade, even our own energy ebbs and flows. When I started accepting the natural cycles of life and work, I found more clarity and calm. Peace came not from control, but from release. That quiet surrender became my strength.



🧘‍ Mindful Living Tip

Honor the Ending, Welcome the Space

Endings often feel like failures when we don’t reframe them. Today, take a moment to reflect on something you’ve outgrown a routine, a habit, or even a business goal. Rather than judging it, try thanking it. Yes, seriously. Acknowledge the role it played, then gently let it go.

If you’re closing a chapter, mark it with a small ritual. Light a candle, write a farewell note, or simply take a walk and breathe in that clean-slate feeling. Practicing gratitude during transitions helps soften the discomfort and opens you up for what’s next with grace instead of grief.
