Plant Pause

When your thoughts won’t stop spinning.

The world can feel heavy, chaotic, and overwhelming — and it’s easy for our minds to get stuck in loops of worry or fear

Plant Pause is a short, place-based practice that helps interrupt anxious spinning thoughts by giving your attention something real to focus on.

With simple prompts — leaves, seeds, twigs, plants you see — a few minutes of noticing gives your attention something steady to land on

This isn’t meditation.
And it isn’t a botany class.

But along the way, you’ll naturally learn more about what’s growing around you — whether that’s a street tree, a backyard plant, or something on your windowsill

What you’ll get:

  • Short, guided prompts you can do anywhere

  • A calmer nervous system through focused attention

  • Basic plant identification skills

  • A deeper sense of connection to place

Research shows that even brief time spent noticing plants can support mental well-being and reduce stress.
