 A Note from TNL CEO Brigid Moynahan:
I have a love/hate relationship with my journal. I love the way it reveals the patterns of my thoughts, so that I notice when I’m stuck. I hate the fact that when I’m most overwhelmed, I put it off and deny myself the satisfaction of settling my mind. For those of us who fall off the reflection wagon, this issue offers multiple ways to climb back on and build positive habits of mind.

Insight on the Go
Trapped in a can't stop/won't stop dynamic?
5 ways Time In will help you move forward:
- Increase emotional intelligence. Self-reflection activates the same region of the brain that we use when we think about another person's emotional experience.
- Combat "power-stress." As a leader's influence expands, her need for emotional intelligence increases. At the same time, her capacity for it often decreases due to the power-stress dynamic.
- Become a leadership storyteller. Stories are 22% more memorable than facts alone. Taking time to reflect allows you to synthesize experiences into valuable stories.
- Define your purpose. Goal setting is useless if you don't know your ultimate aim. Take Time In to get clear on your big "why."
- Notice the positive. We are 33% more productive when positive, yet our brains are wired from cave men days to be more sensitive to threats. Studies show that we can change our habitual brain patterning by building in reflection on what went well.
