meditation break

Quiet mental recess

A meditation break is a short pause from work or activity to practice mindfulness or quiet reflection.

Unlike coffee breaks or smoke breaks, the purpose is mental reset rather than physical refreshment: I take a ten-minute meditation break after lunch.

The term gained currency as workplaces began recognizing stress management as productivity-related.
