Pathway Overview
Delivered as a 5-day series of emails, our Pathways provide guidance, inspiration, and practices to help you cultivate a more grateful life. They are self-paced and yours to keep. Each day includes an introduction, inspiring resources, daily practice, reflection prompts, and supporting research.
To stop is to slow down and give your complete attention to this moment — to be in your life right here, right now, whatever it holds. It’s an act of resistance against the barrage of distractions that can keep you from feeling fully alive and engaged with life.
To look is not just about looking with the eyes. It begins with awakening whatever senses are available to you in order to fully notice and appreciate the world around you. When you’re fully awake to life, you’re more able to discover the opportunity available to you in any given moment, whether joyful or challenging.
To go is to embody gratefulness in your daily actions and way of being in the world. This third step of the practice beckons you to build on gratefulness as an attitude of the heart and take action in your life and on behalf of the greater good. It asks you to create a circle of impact, no matter the size.
While each step of Stop.Look.Go offers abundant opportunity for practice and growth, it’s the combination of all three steps that is most powerful and promising. Starting with the small moments of daily life, you can begin to experience how these seemingly simple steps work in combination to invite greater meaning, connection, and joy.
With time and commitment, the steps of a practice evolve into a way of being in the world. By practicing Stop.Look.Go, you will not only reshape your daily routines and interactions, you will find yourself more fully alive and engaged with all of life, from the small moments to the life-changing ones.
