As mindfulness meditation and yoga have become mainstream and more extensively studied, growing evidence suggests multiple psychological and physical benefits of these mindfulness exercises, as well as for similar practices like tai chi and qi gong.
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses analyzing hundreds of research studies suggest that mindfulness-based interventions help decrease anxiety, depression, stress, and pain, and help improve general health, mental health, and quality of life. These practices also appear to reduce inflammation and increase immune response.

Or else you'll get corporate lobbying in Congress for things like daily 10-minute meditation breaks instead of vacation time.
That is all.

If that becomes a thing, 20-minute commercial breaks on television will also become a thing.
