During meditation, she sets up intentions of positivity for herself and the world around her. Our vibrations affect other people. It is our responsibility to take care of ourselves first. She keeps a journal and practices gratitude. She is also into deepening her understanding of how to connect to her spirit guides. Role of Intuition in Business Decisions For Darrah, it plays a huge role. But she incorporates data and logic in decision-making. We need to tap into our inner wisdom and inner body. Most of us are disconnected from our spirit guides, which causes us to miss the signals and information we need in making our decisions. The Importance of Self-Inquiry There is no harm in questioning decisions, narratives, ideas, and limiting We need to question most things, if not everything. Start asking questions to get to the root of your truth. This time of COVID-19 can be the start of a positive change and reset that we want for our lives. Self-Inquiry for Overthinkers You may ask for the guidance of a coach or the people around you. Relationships are there in the first place to help you reflect. They may help you see your blind spots or the things that you take for granted. Go back to the idea of giving and focus more on being of service to other people. Darrah’s Biggest Life Lessons First, you are good enough. If you aim to go to certain places or situations, believe that you belong there. You have a birthright; everyone has a purpose and meaning. Use your doubts to your advantage. They can motivate and inspire you to move forward. Second, you are your own savior. You need to move forward proactively. Always remind yourself that you are the savior you are looking for. Darrah’s Definition of Freedom Freedom is related to time. It is having the freedom to use her time and make her decisions. Freedom is having control of how things are done to make sure that they align with the things she values. Doing yoga and meditation and taking deep breaths can help with anxiety and stress. Oversharing your life can lead to fear. You have to process your emotions first to avoid basing yourself on other people's opinions. Go back to nature and connect to heal your fear. The Power of Relationships and Networks Nothing happens in this life without connection. It is essential to know how to build robust, value-centric relationships. You need to realize the power of networks, especially in this crisis. Darrah's connections enabled her companies to survive. Thus, it helped her keep up with her obligations as an entrepreneur and employer. 5 Powerful Quotes from This Episode “When we are disconnected from our instinct, we’re missing the signals.” “Now I realized that my value, my worth are not based on these external trappings, and accolades, and job titles, and money because, for many of us, those things are going away.” “Remind yourself you are good enough and that any of those doubts and things should actually be things that can motivate and inspire you to move forward.” “You are your own savior.” “Nothing happens in this life without connections.” About Darrah Darrah Brustein is a social entrepreneur and coach.
