"I meditate for 10 minutes everyday (on the subway, using an app)."

"I get off a stop early going into and out of work and walk the rest of the way. I try to do that two to three times a week. (It's easier to do it on the way home than it is on the way in, because I can never ever get it together in the morning.)"
