What was the spark, the source of this desire for change? And finally avoid the “it is necessary that…” and rather say to yourself “I choose to…”. A shift in his mindset that puts envy back in his heart. »

” To stay motivated, prepare well for your retraining, take notes, do an ikigai if necessary, find people who have been there with whom they have little to talk about, have a good supportive entourage, get rid of guilt for not going fast because it takes time ! A conversion was scary so we act, one step after another. And of course we get coached when we feel overwhelmed.
