welcome to another episode of Milestone Moments
in Business and Leadership. I'm here today with
a very special guest, Cynthia Rodriguez. And
together we've been working on the 5 -Minute
Reset. This project just came about. I don't
know if you heard one of our previous episodes
where we started talking about different leadership
styles and some of the techniques and the tools
that we can use in our everyday lives, whether
it be to lead ourselves or to lead with a vision
or simply to take a break, prevent burnout, but
most importantly, to reset. Thank you for joining
me again, Cynthia. Let's talk about what we're
doing with this. So the five -minute reset is
just a quick meditation to help us clear our
mind, focus on a problem that we have, or just
de -stress and decompress. This is what has worked
for me. I've used it with staff, then they enjoy
it. And I've used it, you know, now with Sheila,
you know, kind of just talking about it. And
I feel that it's something that really anybody
can do. Don't have to be an expert. And it's
just giving yourself five minutes to dedicate
to yourself with no interruptions and just letting
everything kind of slide away from your day.
We help to help others. We are using this tool
ourselves. And I've even changed positions as
we're sitting here practicing them. And I think
for me, this is a very special project because
sometimes what keeps us from taking that five
minute reset perhaps could be as easy as a simple
reminder or a very easy way to just click and
find that space, that music, that sound or somebody
to actually walk you. through the meditation.
And so this for me serves as a way to feel that
I have company and accountability. I've got an
accountability partner that's helping me go through
these meditations. I think that, you know, if
you do these meditations daily, you know, or
you try to do it daily, it could become a habit
and then you'll... miss it, you know, and you'll
be like, oh, I didn't do my five minute reset.
Let me take that five minutes for myself. And
you're going to see that the clarity and the
relaxation that it gives you just helps you become
better, you know, a better person. You're not
as maybe angry or stressed to finish a project.
It kind of will help you. And that's really why
I use five minutes to myself every day. Well,
thank you for joining me, and we're about to
start another 5 -Minute Reset. Perfect. Welcome
to the 5 -Minute Mindset Reset. I'm Sheila Slick.
And I'm Cynthia Rodriguez. In the middle of back
-to -back meetings, endless decisions, and the
constant pull of urgent demands, you need a moment
to center yourself, to reconnect with your purpose,
and to lead from your best self. That's exactly
what these 5 minutes are for. Whether you're
stepping into a challenging conversation, transitioning
between tasks, or simply need to ground yourself
before the next big decision, this is your space
to pause, breathe, and reset. So find a comfortable
position, give yourself permission to be fully
present for the next five minutes. Let's begin.
