Take Purposeful Pauses

Dan Harris, author of 10 Percent Happier told the New York Times about the benefit of taking a "Purposeful Pause" at work. You can do this whenever you need to wait for something — the lift to arrive, your computer to warm up, or the printer to work.

Use that moment to check in with your body — how it feels to take a breath, or to stand or sit with the weight of your body balancing there. Focus on the sensations in your body. You can do this whenever you're walking anywhere — focus on the feeling of your feet and legs, rather than checking your phone. It can help break that autopilot mode.
