Are you meditating? My personal big AHA moment with regards to meditation came when I understood that meditating is not really about relaxing, but about taking control of your thoughts and emotions.  In the rat-race we live in as professionals, it is such a challenge to quiet your head, to have a clear enough mind to move swiftly from one right decision to the next. Living truely in the moment has always come very natural for me; when I am with my kids, I am with my kids; when I am in one meeting I forget about the challenges of the previous one. As CEO however, I’ve seen and still see my job becoming more and more complex, with greater responsibilities; and mastering this skill is becoming more and more challenging. I have the feeling that as a professional, my learning went from 'time management' to then 'energy management', and now to 'thought or emotion management'. This and other thoughts i was really happy to discuss in an interview on five anchors that keep me grounded and driven.

Inspiring! Precies daar ben ik ook mee bezig om binnen bedrijven mensen te inspireren om Gut Intelligence echt te omarmen en te integreren. En yes, dat is vaak door dingen die moeilijk te vatten zijn zoals je energie ‘bewaken’, meer in contact te komen met je intuïtie, en zoveel meer! Eerstgestelde vraag is dan ook vaak…’hoe dan?’😉

Don't know how "taking control of your thoughts" helps in solving problems. We creatively conjecture solutions (to problems) and then refute/ adapt them, "controlling" all of this seems to imply that solutions can not grow into better ones any more ?

Great post Lies! Very inspiring and it also made me very curious about the enneagram types. I’ve even taken a short test myself to delve deeper into it.

From 'time management' to 'energy management', and now to 'thought or emotion management'. > glad to read about your transition. I hope more people will follow your path. That's exactly also our mission with Built For Endurance.
