What does the perfect break in the middle of a work or study day look like for you?

A natural way to answer

My ideal break is short but proper. I step away from my desk, make a cup of tea, and sit somewhere quiet for a few minutes. A bit of fresh air does wonders, and it helps me recharge before the afternoon.
