Ready, set, breathe

When we’re stressed, we have the tendency to not use our full range of breath. Even though you’re going 100 miles a minute, taking a time-out for a breathing exercise can help you make it through the day with your sanity intact. Try setting the timer on your Galaxy S20 , so that you’re not checking your watch, close your eyes and just breathe for 5 minutes, three times a day.

Make yourself breakfast

Cooking can be a mindfulness exercise, and breakfast is an important meal. It starts your day off right while giving you fuel to get through your daily tasks. Eggs only take a few minutes to scramble and overnight oats practically make themselves, so there’s really no excuse to start the day hungry.

Do a micro-workout (it’s a thing)

Even if you're stuck indoors, you can find ways to exercise. Micro-workouts are short 10-minute bursts of exercise that engage your whole body and elevate your heart rate. Take 10 minutes to do 30-second intervals of jump rope or squats and still get your endorphins going with some cardio. You can also use your QLED Smart TV as your personal trainer by working out to dozens of videos on the pre-loaded Fitness Video on Demand app.

Refresh your playlist

We can all be creatures of habit when it comes to music, but experiencing new things can help you be more mindful. Most streaming sites recommend artists based on what you’ve played recently, so it’s easy to find something fresh. Discover a new favorite, relax and let the music wash over you. Take it a step further by playing your tunes through a Soundbar that delivers a fully immersive, panoramic experience. Looking to keep it more personal? Simply put on your Galaxy Buds+ , close your eyes and just be present.

Spark your creativity

Between work and working out, it’s easy to forget the importance of creativity. Every day, try dedicating 10 minutes to writing, coloring or even video doodling using the S Pen on your Galaxy Note10 . They’re all great for reducing stress and using your brain in a different way.
