Foundational Practice Stop.Look.Go

Br. David Steindl-Rast’s simple and powerful Stop.Look.Go practice serves as a foundation for living gratefully on a daily basis. Through regular practice, Stop.Look.Go will lead you to experience increased presence, a more expansive perspective, and a greater sense of possibility in your daily life.

Listen to a guided introduction:

While we cannot be grateful for everything in life, we can be grateful in every moment. The practice of Stop.Look.Go is the way to that moment-to-moment gratitude. In three steps, it returns you to the present moment, invites you to expand your perspective, and empowers you to move forward.

Through daily practice, Stop.Look.Go enables you to clear the clutter of your mind and your heart. Stopping brings you back to the present moment and reminds you that life is a gift. Looking allows you to listen and identify opportunities to be grateful. You are then empowered to go forward, taking action towards a meaningful and purposeful life in your own unique way.

Gratefulness has three steps: not missing the opportunity, appreciating the opportunity, and using or enjoying the opportunity. By this method we come fully alive, full of joy, which is what we are all longing for.
