Well said. Taking a pause is so important. It's in the pause that we restore ourselves and our creativity flourishes. As you said, you write for connection, not for analytics. Me too. Sitting in the pause for awhile helps.

Oh hey you're back 👋 hope you enjoyed your break. I totally get it, that pressure of having to perform or having to always be there. I've taken a step back from how much I was consuming content here on substack which has been good for me too.

I did enjoy my break and am now feeling good after coming back on Substack! Glad to hear that you've decided to use Substack more consciously. We need to preserve our peace over anything. And it's good to hear from you again!

Totally relate to this. Just coming back from my own pause, and already envisioning the next one.

It is truly amazing to have you back, Sonaakshi and the level of happiness quadruples on discovering that you may bring forward another mystic aspect governed by scientific calculations.

Those who stand by you remain there holding the ground firmly. But yes, a small hoot with a quick note to 'meet you soon, but don't know when' has a balmy effect and those who truly care stayed relaxed.

And now and ever, do not take any stress with what topics, frequency and readers. Go with the free flow and it will prove to be blissful beyond imagination.

Good Luck! God bless you!

This is so beautifully said! Your encouragement means more than I can express, and it’s reassuring to be reminded that it’s okay to create and share at my own pace and that those who truly connect will always be there. Thank you again for your warm words.

Believe it or not, I was just thinking about you and how you haven't been in my inbox for quite some time the other day... Don't underestimate your presence - your absence was noticed and I'm pleased you're back 😊

Despite this, you're right though - it is absolutely essential to pause at times.

That's very sweet of you and it does mean a lot to hear that! And you’re right, sometimes the pause is just as important as the doing. I’m glad to be back and sharing again, and even more glad to have such thoughtful readers like you in this space.
