The Stop Before The Start
Recorded while I was on holiday with my brother, this episode gives stopping its most practical shape yet. Ray laid out a genuine, usable structure for what stopping actually involves, step by step, and I had a real realisation, in the moment, about what I am actually good at.
We talked through aware, acknowledge, appreciate, act, and appraise, and why most of us only ever stop when a crisis forces our hand rather than choosing it ourselves. This is also the episode where I finally named, out loud, that helping people stop is genuinely my gift.
In this episode:
- The four part structure: aware, acknowledge, appreciate, act, and appraise
- Why major stops usually arrive through crisis rather than genuine choice
- Appreciation broken down into value, respect, cherish, treasure, and admiration
- Realising, in real time, that helping people stop is what I am actually good at
- Building small, deliberate stops into an ordinary day, rather than waiting for a big one
Pull quote: "We stop to become aware, we stop to acknowledge, and we stop to appreciate."
Come and join me and Ray for Episode 11, recorded after a seventy five mile bike ride with my brother, where we explore the art and science of Stop 2 Think.
