Mindful Desk Breaks, at a Calm Pace
Simple pauses for Indian workdays: quiet breathing, soft shoulder mobility, tea & hydration reminders. No competition—just ease.
A simple, accessible approach
Calm Desk gathers neutral, everyday ideas to weave short mindful breaks into your routine—at home or in the office.
You’ll find easy breathing cues, soft stretches, and ways to create a pleasant micro-ritual with tea or water, wherever you work in India.
Three micro-practices
4–4–4 breathing
Inhale for 4, pause 4, exhale for 4. Keep shoulders soft. Repeat 3 rounds before you return to work.
20–20 eye rest
Every 20 minutes, look about 20 feet away for ~20 seconds. Blink slowly and relax your jaw.
Neck & shoulders
Slow shoulder circles and soft neck turns. Move only within comfort; breathe through the nose.
Everyday tips
- Keep a bottle or cup visible; sip a little when you switch tasks.
- Stand up for a minute every hour and let your shoulders drop.
- Choose a window view or a plant to rest your eyes between calls.
- Set a gentle reminder tone—no urgency, only a cue to pause.
- End each break with one slow breath and a small note of how you feel.
