5-Minute Mindfulness Routines for Busy People

The “No Time” Myth

You don’t need an hour-long meditation to benefit from mindfulness. Just five minutes a day can shift your mental state.

Micro-Mindfulness Practices

1. Morning Reset — Sit, breathe, and notice three sensations.

2. Mindful Commute — Observe your surroundings without judgment.

3. Pause Before Replying — One deep breath before sending an email.

Why Short Works

Consistency matters more than duration. A five-minute practice daily beats a one-hour session once a month.

Conclusion

If you’re too busy to pause, you’re too busy not to. Five minutes can change your entire day.
