Barbie

The Power of Pause When we first make contact with Barbie, we see she is well trained. It seems as though most of us are in a constant rush. We want things to happen now and are impatient if this fails to occur. By slowing down and acknowledging the importance of spaces in time, we may actually achieve what we desire more quickly. The pause allows us a moment to reflect, exhale, become neutral, integrate, be mindful and listen. Pausing when we put our hand out, before starting,   allows Barbie to make a connection and gives her a moment, as in a greeting. A moment of stillness upon approach when wanting to engage Barbie instead of just marching up to her, walk a few steps, stop for a moment, exhale and diffuse your gaze causes an Barbie to feel less invaded.
