Sponsored Post | Pause for a Moment

Iona Bower December 21, 2022

A monthly subscription box packed with fun activities will help you take some time out, and you’ll be supporting the charity Mind as well

How wonderful would it be if you could pause everything, take a deep breath, and give yourself a moment of calm every month? Well now you can – with Pause.

Pause is a subscription box that provides a monthly moment of mindfulness, creativity and calm, delivered straight to your door – and not only does it boost wellbeing, but it helps support Mind, the mental health charity, too.

With a range of activities, each tailored to provide something fun and calming, Pause allows you to give back some time to yourself. Each box offers something unique, something you might not have tried before, and is designed to nurture your wellbeing through activities that help you reflect, relax and get creative. It helps you to find the time to acknowledge how you’re feeling, and to check in with yourself.

Learn something new

But wellbeing isn’t just about self-reflection. Your Pause box can also help you to learn a fun, new skill and encourage you to try new activities that perhaps you have never previously considered. These new skills, goals or challenges can have a positive impact on your self-esteem and wellbeing. Also, by making time to enjoy your Pause activities with family and friends, perhaps gifting a subscription or teaching loved ones your newfound skill, it can help you to feel more connected with others.

You can gift someone you love a moment of calm for themselves, or simply treat yourself – from just £7.50 a month, Mind will send you or a loved one 12 Pause boxes over the course of a year. We all want to give those that are closest to us a little time to help slow down and focus on themselves and a Pause subscription box encourages just that – time for reflection, for quiet and peace. Now isn’t that a gift?

Far-reaching benefits

Every year, one in four of us will experience a mental health problem. By subscribing to Pause, your regular donation will help Mind be there for everyone who needs support.

All of your donation goes into Mind, so you can be sure that your money is making a real change and helping those who truly need it.

Your donation can help fund Mind’s work in so many ways. It could help someone access lifesaving information through their booklets, website and helplines. Or help support someone through Side by Side, a 24/7 online community. It could also help Mind campaign for better mental health services.

All donations help Mind continue their vital work. So pause, take a moment to yourself, and treat yourself or someone you love to a more mindful future.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
