“My business advice for 2023: awaken your desire, awaken the audacity in us and dare to set up on your own!
I like this invitation from Eleanor Roosevelt: “
Do one thing every day that scares you
”, “do something every day that scares you”.
This year, the time has come to seize the world with both hands to transform it, to jump into the water, to do something that may have tickled us for a long time.
Dare to contact this person you admire on LinkedIn to tell them what you dream of saying to them, dare to say no, dare to propose a new project in their company, change city, life... And, why not, start its account.
Become independent,

One thing is certain: it is better to hang out with freelancers and entrepreneurs.
Their confidence, their recklessness, their touch of madness are so contagious!
They embolden us, silence our fears, our stresses, anchor us in the present, in action, in the joy of doing.
We are always invigorated by contact with the audacious and the movers.
In 2023, I wish us to taste together the flavor of this incomparable adventure which consists in becoming captain of your life.
As Epictetus writes: “everything is change, not to no longer be, but to become what is not yet.”

“In 2023, we get used to chatting with a business friend!
We meet over the phone, five minutes a day, or longer, several times a week, to take stock of our priorities and discuss our goals for the day.
Committing to someone to carry out a task allows you to be more efficient!
I call my own business friend twice a week, about an hour, sometimes longer.

We can also, together, take stock of your past week, and prepare for the next one.
If the first had to be redone, what would have to be changed for it to be ideal, even perfect?
On the contrary, what worked well and would be good to keep?
Then we plan.
Next week, if there was only one task to complete, what would it be?
We thus identify its absolute priority, and we try to deal with it from Monday or Tuesday.
In the next fortnight, how can I clean up my diary?
We remove the superfluous and add priorities, including time for yourself, to think, work on your vision and strategy.
Organizing your time like this takes an hour a week, but the return on investment is immediate.

Aurélie Canzoneri, naturopath: "One mono-diet per week to strengthen, but not all day!"

“The mono diet consists of consuming only one type of food for a certain period of time.
I recommend doing this once a week, but not all day.
On Sunday evening, for example, you can eat only one food, raw or cooked, as much as you want, from 4 to 8 am.
This has many benefits: you put your digestive system at rest, you detoxify your body, and this is felt on the weight, fatigue or health of the skin.

A mono diet must be made from foods of plant origin only, and rather easy to digest.
We therefore avoid oilseeds and legumes, very acidic or sweet things, such as citrus fruits, fruit juices or dried fruits.
The ideal can be a mono diet of vegetable juices, broths or apple sauces, which are very complete and help eliminate toxins.
To really take care of yourself, we think of drinking 1.5 liters of water and walking 30 minutes to 1 hour a day.
We need it !"
