@Amy Finkelstein, yes yes yes! I recently read something about how monasteries have a bell that tolls once every hour, and
no matter what the monks are doing they stop their chores and take a moment to do...whatever monks do to get spiritual.
I'm no monk, but I've started setting a soft alarm bell between meetings to stop whatever I'm doing and take a moment to breathe deeply, relax my mind, and remind myself what's really important (usually not work, haha).
Doing this just once or twice a day has made a huge difference for me!

Subject: Stretching ourselves
At 4 p.m., my phone starts the soothing "Twinkle" tone and I know it's time to stretch. I can't believe it took two years into the pandemic to start doing this every day. But a colleague and I did a 30-day wellness challenge earlier this year, and we've kept at it since then. I've been really surprised at how much of a difference this little thing makes in my day and how I feel. Which made me wonder: What are other things we could all be doing for our mental and physical health in just two or three minutes a day?
