When children get excessively unruly, they are given time-outs. Regardless of the reason why parents and instructors implement a time-out, its ultimate purpose is to help youngsters slow down, reconnect with the present moment, and start over. It's a reset that allows children to re-enter the playground of life with a bit more caution and awareness.

Even adults can gain from a periodic reset. Despite the fact that most people move so swiftly through hectic, deadline-driven days, they frequently disregard their health and wellbeing. Consider taking occasional breaks to help you calm down, reconnect with yourself and your goals, and make more mindful and thoughtful decisions.

Try these 10 minute meditation pauses, sometimes known as "time INs," to reboot. Alternate between them based on your current needs. Set a timer for eight to ten minutes before beginning each task. If you find these meditations enjoyable, you can extend them to 20 to 30 minutes if you choose.
