Hi, 00:00:40.579 --> 00:00:43.140 welcome to another episode of Milestone Moments 00:00:43.140 --> 00:00:45.719 in Business and Leadership. I'm here today with 00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:49.539 a very special guest, Cynthia Rodriguez. And 00:00:49.539 --> 00:00:52.719 together we've been working on the 5 -Minute 00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:55.990 Reset. This project just came about. I don't 00:00:55.990 --> 00:00:58.310 know if you heard one of our previous episodes 00:00:58.310 --> 00:01:00.990 where we started talking about different leadership 00:01:00.990 --> 00:01:03.909 styles and some of the techniques and the tools 00:01:03.909 --> 00:01:07.049 that we can use in our everyday lives, whether 00:01:07.049 --> 00:01:10.189 it be to lead ourselves or to lead with a vision 00:01:10.189 --> 00:01:14.450 or simply to take a break, prevent burnout, but 00:01:14.450 --> 00:01:17.969 most importantly, to reset. Thank you for joining 00:01:17.969 --> 00:01:20.290 me again, Cynthia. Let's talk about what we're 00:01:20.290 --> 00:01:23.469 doing with this. So the five -minute reset is 00:01:23.469 --> 00:01:28.370 just a quick meditation to help us clear our 00:01:28.370 --> 00:01:33.090 mind, focus on a problem that we have, or just 00:01:33.090 --> 00:01:36.689 de -stress and decompress. This is what has worked 00:01:36.689 --> 00:01:39.980 for me. I've used it with staff, then they enjoy 00:01:39.980 --> 00:01:43.719 it. And I've used it, you know, now with Sheila, 00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:46.439 you know, kind of just talking about it. And 00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:48.760 I feel that it's something that really anybody 00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:51.540 can do. Don't have to be an expert. And it's 00:01:51.540 --> 00:01:54.760 just giving yourself five minutes to dedicate 00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:58.980 to yourself with no interruptions and just letting 00:01:58.980 --> 00:02:02.359 everything kind of slide away from your day. 00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:05.640 We help to help others. We are using this tool 00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:08.780 ourselves. And I've even changed positions as 00:02:08.780 --> 00:02:11.479 we're sitting here practicing them. And I think 00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:14.080 for me, this is a very special project because 00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:18.439 sometimes what keeps us from taking that five 00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:21.099 minute reset perhaps could be as easy as a simple 00:02:21.099 --> 00:02:24.400 reminder or a very easy way to just click and 00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:28.180 find that space, that music, that sound or somebody 00:02:28.180 --> 00:02:31.120 to actually walk you. through the meditation. 00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:34.719 And so this for me serves as a way to feel that 00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:37.599 I have company and accountability. I've got an 00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:40.240 accountability partner that's helping me go through 00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:43.259 these meditations. I think that, you know, if 00:02:43.259 --> 00:02:46.280 you do these meditations daily, you know, or 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:49.979 you try to do it daily, it could become a habit 00:02:49.979 --> 00:02:52.400 and then you'll... miss it, you know, and you'll 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:54.479 be like, oh, I didn't do my five minute reset. 00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:57.259 Let me take that five minutes for myself. And 00:02:57.259 --> 00:03:00.599 you're going to see that the clarity and the 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:04.120 relaxation that it gives you just helps you become 00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:06.520 better, you know, a better person. You're not 00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:10.500 as maybe angry or stressed to finish a project. 00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:13.759 It kind of will help you. And that's really why 00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:17.050 I use five minutes to myself every day. Well, 00:03:17.069 --> 00:03:19.889 thank you for joining me, and we're about to 00:03:19.889 --> 00:03:23.909 start another 5 -Minute Reset. Perfect.
