Breathe in
Before you forgive and forget.
Before you type yes and hit send.
Before you post that angry comment.
Before you give your number to a stranger.
Before you reply to the message that broke your heart.
There's a minute of calm in there.

BEYOND THE CAN
Calm shouldn't be a privilege.
In South Asian culture, there's a phrase that gets passed down to daughters: "keep going." Keep studying. Keep working. Keep smiling. Keep everyone else comfortable.
The pause was never part of the plan.
We want to change that.
THE 60 SESSIONS PLEDGE
Calma Sutra is pledging sixty free therapy sessions for South Asian women.
We're not a big company. We're a daughter and a father with a memory and a mission.
WHY TAKE A MINUTE?
The science of doing nothing.
Nobody needs a study to stop for a minute. But in case you want one.
A 2022 review of 22 studies, 2,335 people in all, found that breaks of ten minutes or less were linked to less fatigue and more energy.
Albulescu et al., PLOS ONE, 2022OSHA's advice for computer work: every hour, take a five-minute break. Look away, stretch, get up, or walk.
OSHA, Computer Workstations eToolWhen 42 data-entry workers got four extra five-minute breaks a day, they reported less discomfort and eyestrain, and got just as much done.
Galinsky et al., NIOSH, Ergonomics, 2000Eye doctors suggest 20-20-20: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
American Academy of OphthalmologyThe World Health Organization advises adults to swap sitting time for movement, even light movement. Some is better than none.

These findings are about breaks in general, not about this page or anything we make.
