Meditation is not necessarily an act of sitting in a serene place with your eyes closed.

Meditation is anything that helps to quiet your mind.

Brief breaks and mindless staring through the office window counts too!

So the broader question is - what helps to quiet the mind?

For me it's brief "diving out" of a rat race and enjoying something. That something could be vastly different from day to day.

Does mindlessly staring through the office window really calm your mind? I would imagine that's when day dreaming and other thoughts creep in.
