An periodic reset helps to restore balance. It’s a kind of recalibration that returns us to baseline.

Often, this kind of reset means a pause in activity. A pause in consumption. A pause in routine.

So instead of increasing, instead of pushing, instead of striving, instead of “play next” … we stop. We rest. We allow all things to settle.

And perhaps we stay there for some time.

And it may be uncomfortable at first.

But we remain there anyway. Purposefully paused.

In time, we begin again. Restored. Rejuvenated. Refocused. Ready.

Reset.

Re-set.
