La Rentrée - Planning and Promises

Fresh energy, fresh ideas, and a desire to move forward in a thoughtful and productive manner. La Rentrée is France’s answer to the excitement and determination of the new year. As September is now upon us, Rima shares with you her thoughts about this French tradition and how you too can use the motivation to make the changes you want in your own life.

Topics covered in this episode:


What is La Rentrée?
How can you make plans that stick?
What are your plans?
Are they really plans or are they wishful thinking?
Do you make a plan or a promise to yourself first?

Do you want to finish the year with a flourish? Let Rima guide you through making realistic plans that you can keep.

“Wishful thinking is in fact the first step: a desire. But just not enough to get into action, let alone into sustainable action. You need a plan and a promise.”

Topics covered in this episode:


What are the right questions?
Does this question belong to me, or to someone else?

Using active listening to improve your questions and answers.

If you’re looking to stop your 3am self from sabotaging your thoughts, this episode is for you. Listen to find out how you can turn those negative questions into motivational thoughts.

“If you want to steer your life into the right direction - master the art of asking the right questions. Each question is an invitation and of course you want to be mindful about who you invite into your most private space, that is your thoughts and feelings. Hence the importance of asking the right questions.”
