A free five-minute reset for adults
Before the hard conversation, take a moment for yourself.
The Peace Pause offers a few guided questions to help you get ready for a conversation that feels difficult. Your notes stay in this browser and are not saved or sent.
Five guided steps
Make room to think through what matters to you.
- 01
Ground
Notice the room around you and take three slow breaths.
- 02
Name the Conversation
Put words to the conversation and what makes it difficult.
- 03
Identify Intent
Consider what success would feel like and what matters most.
- 04
Perspective Check
Consider the other person’s feelings and your assumptions.
- 05
Prepare
Choose what to communicate, what to listen for, and a response if emotions rise.
A clear boundary
A reflection tool for everyday preparation.
The Peace Pause is not therapy, crisis support, medical advice, mental-health treatment, or legal advice. It does not diagnose or promise how another person will respond.
If you are dealing with abuse, a personal safety concern, thoughts of self-harm, a possibility that someone may be harmed, or a need for legal or other professional intervention, seek additional support from a trusted professional or local emergency or crisis service. You do not need to continue a conversation that feels unsafe.
Your reflections are held only in this browser while you use the reset. They are not included in analytics or the toolkit signup.
