Life transitions often force us into uninvited pauses that feel like being benched, but these pauses are actually opportunities for formation and growth. The stillness after major changes like divorce, empty nesting, or job loss isn't punishment but rather a necessary halftime that prepares us for our comeback.
• Pauses feel terrible—lonely, confusing, and full of doubt—but they're where champions are made
• Life's pauses trick us into thinking the game has passed us by when they're actually giving us perspective
• Acknowledge the stop instead of fighting against it
• Listen to the silence to hear what your thoughts are telling you
• Prepare for re-entry by using this time to strengthen your heart and clarify your next steps
• Journaling during pauses helps reveal what matters most and how the experience is shaping you
