just stop

Just stop

Just stop!

Just...stop.

How you interpret the words is up to you.

It’s a phrase I want to scream sometimes, when faced with vitriol spewing talking heads on devices or when I see something that goes against my core.

It’s a phrase I quietly think when random thoughts are rampant and clogging my brain in the middle of a task.

It’s a phrase I sit with when the world is spinning and I want to get off, so I do just that....I stop. I breathe. I am.

It’s a phrase I use when I need to refocus on what has transpired, and what I now observe is going sideways, and the reality is just that...stop. Stop the behavior. Use the tools that work...that never let me down.

Taking that moment can change the path
