In 2018, I thought my 30 minute commute to work every day was going to be the biggest waste of time.
Looking back, those were some of the most valuable moments of my early 20s.
The biggest thing I discovered:
Time for reflection isn't important, it's ESSENTIAL
It's the a moment to say to myself "here's who I am and who I want to be" so the world doesn't end up deciding for me.

3 ways making time for reflection ended up impacting my life:
1) I decided I was going to start blogging vs. be the person who falls into scrolling social every day after work.
2) My go-to at a social event was going to be a mocktail vs. everyone else ordering cocktails so I could manage my anxiety better
3) I was going to have business AND a full time job vs. the following the entrepreneurship measure of success of "getting out of your job as fast as possible.”

I'd like to say I intentionally found the time to reflect, but I kind of fell into it with these long drives.
If you haven't found reflection time, 3 ideas for you:
-The drive to work
-Journaling before work
-Taking a walk before you sit down to work from home
Those 30 minutes could be the difference between you vs. the world deciding who you're and who you're going to be.
