The First Signal
Most people don’t miss the pause.
They miss the first signal.
It’s rarely dramatic.
It’s subtle.
▪️A slight tightening in the chest.
▪️A small rush of thought.
▪️A shift in your tone.
▪️A held breath.
▪️A feeling of “here we go…”
And instead of noticing it, we move straight into the story.
Ten minutes later, we’re irritated.
Twenty minutes later, we’re replaying conversations.
An hour later, the whole mood of the day has changed.
But the shift didn’t start there.
It started with something small.
In The NOW Mode, we don’t try to control thoughts.
We train ourselves to notice the earliest signal.
That tiny moment when awareness says:
“You’re drifting.”
That’s the doorway.
Noticing is returning.
So today, I’m curious:
👉 What’s the earliest signal you notice before you drift?

I created The Now Mode out of a personal need to slow down a busy and overactive mind. I share practical tools to pause and return to the NOW.
