  Speaker 1: Hey, beautiful souls, welcome, welcome back, welcome back to the sweet spot.

  Speaker 1: Quick question when was the last time you felt truly at peace?
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Hold that thought.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I'm Dr Derek Sweet and you're in the sweet spot.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: You're in the sweet spot.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: You're in Slow Down Sunday, and this is where science meets the soul.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: You know, as a board certified sports and performance psychiatrist, I get to meet a lot of very cool and interesting people, and a concept I learned is about a Japanese term called Ma.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Ma is essentially a sacred pause between moments, a kind of space that's being appreciated.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: I like for you to think of this as a space between musical notes that makes a melody beautiful.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: And here's the cool part our brains are actually wired to need these kinds of pauses.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: You may or may not realize it, but you appreciate pauses.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: You really do.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: They're like a mental space, and it gives the brain a chance to reset, to reset your entire nervous system.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: So let's try something together right now.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Since it's slow down sunday, let's do something slow.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I'd like you to take one deep breath with me right now.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, just inhale in.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: That's it, that's it, hold it and then let it out through your mouth.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: That's it, that.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Right there, my friend, that was your ma moment, that was your pause, that was your brain getting a mini vacation.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: It's super important to keep practicing that Quick story.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Just yesterday I was rushing, as I'm always rushing between meetings.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Everybody that knows me knows I'm going from meeting to meeting, but yesterday I remembered to find my ma moment.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I found my ma.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: 10 seconds of just watching branches and leaves blow in the very windy day that I was in yesterday gave me a chance to reset my entire mind just by pausing and looking at those leaves blow and those branches move.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: And it's just about 10 seconds and it really worked.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Your turn.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Where will you find your mom moment today?
