Just watched Noelle Silver’s interview with Dataiku — wow, what a fantastic conversation! I loved how it blended tech with authentic leadership, and it left me even more excited to be part of this community. I was taking notes during onboarding and these reminders landed deeply: build a routine, practice gratitude daily, take 1 minute for mindfulness, and read something positive every day. Sometimes it’s the simplest practices that make the biggest difference. Curious — what’s one small routine you use to set yourself up for success?” Here are some simple examples of 1 minute mindfulness you can try: Breath-Based Mindfulness - Box Breathing: Inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4, hold for 4. Repeat ~3 cycles. - Counting Breaths: Close your eyes and count 10 slow breaths in and out. Awareness-Based Mindfulness - 5 Senses Scan: Pause and notice: 1 thing you see, hear, feel, smell, and taste. - Single-Object Focus: Look at one object (a candle flame, a plant, your coffee mug) and study its details without distraction. Body-Based Mindfulness - Tension Release: Notice where you’re holding tightness (shoulders, jaw, back). Breathe in, and with each exhale let it soften. - Grounding Check: Feel your feet against the floor, the weight of your body in the chair, your connection to the present moment Gratitude/Mindful Thought - Close your eyes and say silently: “In this moment, I am safe. In this moment, I am grateful for [X].” - Repeat one mantra for a minute: “I am here now.” or “Peace with each breath.” The key is: you’re not trying to empty your mind. You’re just redirecting attention away from autopilot and into the present moment. Even one minute shifts your state.
