I used to think of a pause as a kind of stop—a break, a reflection, a breath. But in this practice, I see the pause differently. It’s not about resting. It’s about shifting.
The pause is moving my focus away from the physical and into the mental. For a minute and a half, I treat my mind as the production machine it really is. It’s a tool, not just for processing what already exists, but for building what does not yet exist.
In the 59th minute, I pause—not to drift, but to construct. Not to reflect, but to create. I hold a scene, a desire, a vision, and let my mind do its work of drawing creative energy toward it. It’s like pausing before pressing the gas pedal—not hesitation, but intention. A deliberate shift before the movement begins.
This tiny pause is the switch: away from physical focus, toward mental activation. It’s micro work in the mental realm, and yet it carries more power than hours of physical effort. Because what we focus on expands. What we build in the mind starts to echo outward, shaping what comes next.
So the pause is not empty. The pause is full. It is where creation begins.
