A short pause
Just for you

Simple ways to take a break

Small pauses. Room to reset

1. 

   Square breathing

   Breathe in time with the square: inhale — pause — exhale — pause. Four seconds per step, four rounds. Breathe without effort; you can stop at any time

2. Notice your surroundings

   Name 3 objects, smells and sounds, then move 3 parts of your body. You can skip any step

3. Cool water

   If it suits you, rinse your face with cool water and hold your hands under cool water. No icy water, face immersion or enduring the cold. Return whenever you wish
