How 5-Minute Mindfulness Breaks During the Workday Improve Team Cohesion

Join ReTeam to take advantage of our custom curated Mindfulness collection and take a 5-minute mindfulness break during the workday.  You will find this can be a game-changer for individuals and teams. By reducing stress, improving focus, enhancing emotional regulation, and fostering creativity, mindfulness can contribute to a more engaged, productive, and harmonious work environment. Investing in the well-being of employees through mindfulness practices is a win-win for both the individuals and the organization as a whole. 

Having a positive Mindfulness state is beneficial to all aspects of your daily work and daily wellbeing.  By itself, using Mindfulness will benefit those around you – especially your team members. 

We can adapt this further to make Mindfulness a Team activity that further promotes team cohesion and bonding. 

Encouraging mindfulness breaks as a team activity can promote camaraderie among team members. Participating in mindfulness practices together can create a shared experience that fosters a sense of unity and belonging, ultimately strengthening the team's cohesion. 

Options: 

• Have one team member lead the mindfulness session and select mindfulness content for the day for the session. 

• Rotate who conducts this session to make this activity stress inclusion and sense of belonging 

• These sessions can be done asynchronously also – just assign the meditation for the day that each person can do when they have breaks in their day. 

• Then follow up the next day with a Team Video to share the experience and benefits. 

We encourage you to be creative and inventive in finding better ways to connect mindfulness and team cohesion and will continue to provide the tools and processes to help you in this journey.
