A desk break with a little less scrolling
You don’t need a perfect routine to make a small pause feel different.
Start by putting down whatever is in your hands. Let your screen wait for a moment. Notice where your feet meet the floor and let your shoulders settle into a comfortable position.
Choose just one thing: look out of a window, listen to a sound you like, or make a few marks on paper. There’s no need to turn your break into another task to finish.
If playful movement sounds good, try a fresh sheet of virtual bubbles. If you’d rather do less, follow a few comfortable breaths. Stop or change activities whenever you want.
When you return, choose one next thing to do. The point is a small change of pace, rather than a new standard to live up to.
Try a little moment Everyday ideas for unwinding, rather than medical advice.
