Reflective Pause Habit
A reflective pause habit is a timed mid-day stop—two to five minutes—to notice energy, hunger, and stress before autopilot picks snacks or skips movement. Ask what one adjustment would help the next three hours.

Pauses belong before known risk windows, not only after mistakes.
Common questions
-
How long should a reflective pause be?
Two to five minutes is enough: three breaths, hunger check, one priority adjustment. Longer belongs in weekly review, not hourly.
-
When should you schedule a reflective pause?
Before the hour you usually skip lunch or binge snacks—often 2–4 p.m. or right after back-to-back meetings.
