Get Started

Read the Week 1 story and make a list.

Use the Pocket Guide to work through the list.

Set a daily alarm to remind yourself to pause and practice.

Work the process.

First week

Each day when your alarm goes off: Go to a quiet place and pause. 

• Start the pause by taking three deep breaths to slow down your mind and body.
• Take a minute to connect with God by reflecting on God’s awesome power and tender care for you.
• Ask God to bring to mind situations that are causing you worry or fear.
• When one comes to mind, use the Pocket Guide, doing all four steps.
