Slogan: “When you stop and think, your choices become kind.”
Taro often acted before he thought — shouting when he was upset or rushing to grab what he wanted.
 One day, his teacher gave him a pretend button and said, “This is your pause button. Press it before you react.”
 Soon, Taro learned that one breath could turn a problem into peace.
Awareness Tools:
⏸ Draw your own “pause button.” When you feel strong emotions, imagine pressing it.
💬 Practice saying: “Let me stop and think first.”
🧠 Ask: “Why did I act that way? How can I do it differently next time?”
Characters: Kael and Elaria
Kael paced through the marketplace of habit, caught in cycles of impulse.
 Elaria, serene as still water, observed him gently.
Kael: “Why do I keep repeating the same mistakes?”
 Elaria: “Because you move faster than your awareness.
 Every habit is just a truth you haven’t yet paused to hear.”
 Kael: “And how do I change?”
 Elaria: “By slowing enough to listen before you move.
 Stillness is the first step in every dance.”
Lesson:
 Awareness turns behavior from reaction into conscious rhythm.
