A short pause every few hours can do wonders—just a few slow breaths, maybe a gentle stretch or a brief walk, helps reset the mind. We can try setting a timer to remind us to breathe in rhythm with our heartbeat, then exhale slowly. Simple, steady movements like a slow jog or a calm tai chi sequence keep the body aligned with the breath. It’s the small, consistent moments that stitch calm into the day.

Glad you’re taking the time to pause. Remember, the breath is always there—just listen to it. When you stretch, feel each muscle relax with the exhale, and let the inhale bring gentle strength. Stay present, and let the rhythm guide you.
