Stillness definitely isn't quitting. It's strategic. At Notion we have a thing called "dwelling" where we just dwell together for several hours - reflections, how we feel, personal lives & no work, no shop talk. We love it.
Isn’t it interesting how easily a purposeful pause can get so confused with disengaging. I consider it the exact opposite - when you finally engage with what really matters
The noise of the world is designed to make us forget this specific frequency.
But a quiet challenge from the mountains: Is your "Still Point" a place you visit to escape, or the ground you stand on to fight?
The ultimate discipline is not finding peace away from the chaos, but carrying that stillness directly into the fire. Don't just rest there. Operate from there.
Thanks James. Speaking honestly, when I stop moving at the moment I notice a heaviness. And not just because of a post-Xmas food fest! Definitely something I need to sit with more to try to unravel. 🙏

Love that question … definitely the ground I fight for….. most of the time🤣
Pausing lets us see clearly, feel deeply, and act with intention rather than reaction.
In that pause, we see what’s real, what’s urgent, and what’s been hiding beneath the noise.
This reframes stillness as intelligence, not hesitation. Noticing before acting is real leadership.
Stillness usually shows what motion has been hiding.

We need clarity to see that we're moving in a desired direction, and that can only be gotten when we're be in the present moment.
