The Desk Reset.
Six short resets your team can take without leaving the desk. No app, no equipment, nothing to schedule. Built on The Workday Reset Method™, so the breaks are simple enough that people actually take them.
- 6 desk-friendly resets
- Two minutes or less
- No app, no equipment
- Print or share
Six resets, one printable page.
Each reset maps to one of the four R’s behind every Chakra Hours session: Reset, Restore, Resource, Renew. All of them work from a desk chair.
The 2-Minute Micro-Break
ResetWhen: every 60 to 90 minutes
Stand, look far, breathe slow, and name what the next hour needs from you.
Box Breathing
ResetWhen: before deep work or a hard meeting
In for four, hold four, out four, hold four. Four to six rounds to settle the nervous system.
The Desk Stretch
RestoreWhen: after too long in one position
Overhead reach, gentle side leans, a slow twist, and shoulder rolls, all from the chair.
The Snack Swap
ResourceWhen: the midafternoon slump
Trade the sugar crash for protein or fiber, and a full glass of water while you are up.
The 20-20-20 Eye Break
RestoreWhen: long stretches on screen
Every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Blink, unclench the jaw, look back.
The Connection Break
RenewWhen: when the day feels isolating
A two-minute, off-task coffee with a colleague. Connection is a reset, not a distraction.
Something useful to send today.
Most wellbeing tools ask employees to download an app and remember to use it. The Desk Reset asks for nothing. Print it for the office, pin it at desks, or drop it in your Slack or Teams channel before the next heads-down week.
When you are ready for breaks led live, Chakra Hours runs facilitated resets onsite across Dallas-Fort Worth and online nationwide, built on the same method.
Why short breaks beat big programs nobody uses
- A two-minute reset is something people will actually do, again and again.
- No app to install means nothing for IT or security to review.
- Anchored to a habit they already have, one reset compounds over a quarter.
- It is a first step, not the finish line, to a real wellbeing rhythm.
A one-page printable card. Yours free.
Quick questions.
Is The Desk Reset really free?
Yes. Tell us where to send it and we will email you the printable PDF. No charge, and you can unsubscribe anytime. The card is also yours to print and share across your team.
How is this different from a virtual wellness break app?
The card is a no-app, no-subscription starting point your team can use today. If you want breaks led live, in person or online, that is what Chakra Hours does: facilitated sessions built on the same Workday Reset Method. See the Year-Round Program or our Bright Breaks alternative comparison.
Can HR distribute this to the whole team?
Please do. The card is built to be printed, pinned at a desk, or dropped into a Slack or Teams channel. It is plain-English, optional, and educational, with nothing to install and no employee data collected.
Is this medical advice?
No. The Desk Reset is educational wellbeing content, not medical or clinical care. Every reset is gentle and optional.
Breaks your team will actually take.
The card is the easy first step. When you want resets led live, we bring them to your team, onsite across Dallas-Fort Worth or online nationwide.
