I *love* owning my own business~it’s been 15 years and that’s the longest time I’ve ever held a *work position*.

Turns out, most large companies really don’t like an entrepreneurial type because they want people to show up and do everything rote without questioning if there is a *better way*. I was always seen as a threat, not an asset.

Now, I have a really great boss (ahem) who knows I have her best interest at heart, will always do 150%, really *care* about our clients, and if there is a better way to do something~I’ll begin implementing it as soon as possible! )

Here’s to ‘living it like you own it’!

Many blessings,
Nancy

so the insight for everyone is to find a little quiet time, or brain freedom as you call it so that we can access the inner wisdom that’s always waiting for us.

thanks for the conversation

I require quiet time daily, but with a large family and lots of responsibility, the only time I have for quiet “brain freedom” is while I drive a regular route. I was driving home from the office, and I could get home on autopilot while my brain is free to roam. I’ve learned over the years to restrict negative rambling rant-style thoughts while driving. Analogies and insights do come up as a result of some visual stimulus or some train of thought.

So the coach in me is very curious! What is it about driving that causes such great insights? I know that walking tends to create a meditative state that can boost insights but have never heard that about driving? What happens for you Jessica when you are driving that lets you tune into something different?

It is funny how big insights happen when I drive. It happens a lot.

Thanks Mary and Laurel. Great point about the accountability partner, if you have someone available and willing to offer a reality check without sliding into anger and sarcasm. Thanks for your compliments!

Great thoughts on checking in and trusting yourself Jessica.

Creating new habits to replace habits that are not working can help to stay on track.

It also helps to have an accountability partner. It’s easy to kid ourselves that we are making changes but if we have a good partner in change, they will see backsliding and speak up.

I look forward to reading more of your thoughts.
