Podcasts about Solitude

Solo Episode 121... What if the season you've been calling loneliness is actually God's preparation for your greatest comeback? Have you ever felt like God pulled you away from everything you once knew? In this episode, B.Simone talks about what it means to protect your comeback after a season of solitude. If God has hidden you for a season, don't waste it. Solitude isn't punishment—it's preparation. B.Simone shares how to be productive while you're alone with God, how to steward the refining process, and how to return stronger, wiser, and with the tools to protect your peace and joy when it's time to step back into the world. Not everything is meant to go with you into your next season. Some things have to be pruned, while other parts of you God will lovingly refine. This conversation is an encouragement to embrace the process, trust God's timing, and protect the woman you're becoming.

Olivia Laing is known as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary literature. Their work is renowned for its capacity to make abstract ideas feel precise, intimate, and beautifully thought through without ever talking down to the reader. Their books include the number one Sunday Times bestseller The Garden Against Time, Funny Weather: Art in an Emergency and, most recently, The Silver Book: a bewitching love story set during the making of Fellini's Casanova and Pasolini's Salò. In June 2026 Laing came to Intelligence Squared for a one-off celebration of the ten-year anniversary of their seminal work, The Lonely City. Hailed as ‘a new kind of literature' when first published, The Lonely City is both a personal quest to master the art of being alone, and an investigation into how artists have reckoned with isolation. The book asks questions that resonate in our increasingly digital and divided world. What does it mean to be lonely? How do we connect with others? Does technology draw us closer together, or keep us apart?         Laing was joined live at Union Chapel in London by Charlie Porter, as they reflected on the legacy of The Lonely City, the paperback publication of The Silver Book and what loneliness, intimacy, solidarity and connection mean in a world of rising fascism.

THIS WEEK'S MESSAGE: Today's Fireside is asking you to take some space and time to simply be with yourself. The vision, healing, love and destiny you feel on your soul IS meant for you and it is asking you to take it seriously by protecting it and drawing closer to it. Each of you is here to usher in a different way of being, that means, you get to move differently. You get to move at a pace that feels honoring to your soul not to your programming. So many demands exist on our time and energy and as we continue to shift into a new paradigm and way of being, it's still part of our work to steward our energy well. That means asking ourselves what we need, taking time and space to simply allow, and to be intentional in guarding our energy... especially from old programming that burns us out and up. You are worthy of your own witness, time and protection. Your work and vision will only be better for it.2026 PLAYLIST: Each week of 2026, I'm selecting a song that resonates with the message of that particular Fireside Friday. Today's Fireside Song: "She Stopped Shrinking" by ILLENIUM + Teddy Swims.

Comme chaque vendredi, un médecin spécialisé répond aux questions des auditrices de Priorité Santé. Cette semaine, nous parlons de la solitude que peuvent entrainer les maladies chroniques inflammatoires. De l'errance diagnostic à l'annonce de celui-ci en passant par les souffrances du quotidien, la maladie est souvent liée à une forme de solitude. Ne plus partager le même repas que le reste de la famille, les insomnies liées aux inquiétudes, les douleurs associées aux soins... Les patientes se retrouvent souvent seules face à tous ces changements, voire bouleversements. Comment mieux vivre avec sa maladie chronique ? Comment aider une personne souffrant de maladie chronique au quotidien ?   Lorsque l'on est confronté à une maladie au long cours, à titre personnel ou dans son entourage direct, on apprend à « vivre avec ». Ressentir les symptômes, se confronter à l'appréhension de la rechute, prendre ses médicaments inlassablement, assimiler toutes les informations associées au diagnostic. Et puis il y a la vie qui va avec, et souvent, nous n'y sommes pas préparés et ce retentissement varie d'une personne à l'autre, et devient plus ou moins envahissant.  L'un des à-côtés de la maladie dont on parle peu, même s'il s'agit pourtant d'une complication qui peut se révéler très sévère : c'est la solitude. Solitude d'être confronté.e à des années d'errance diagnostic, seul.e face à la douleur, l'épuisement et à des angoisses envahissantes. Seul.e, après la perte d'une emploi, démuni.e face aux dépenses des soins.   Ce repli, cet isolement doit être identifié et considéré, au même titre que d'autres symptômes. C'est l'enseignement du livre de notre invité du jour, le Pr Souhaibou Ndongo. Avec :  Pr Souhaibou Ndongo, interniste, rhumatologue à Dakar, chef du service de médecine interne au centre hospitalier national Dalal Jamm de Dakar, au Sénégal. Auteur de l'ouvrage Je m'appelle Débo, je suis malade et je me sens seule ! Chronique d'une solitude aux multiples facettes, aux éditions Katana Santé.   Palabre au féminin de Charlie Dupiot.

Tell and Wren face a wraith—a sorcerer gone rogue—in this third and final book in the Children of the Black Glass middle grade fantasy series. Now a captive in Desert's house, Wren learns the evil sorcerer has melded herself into a human body to become a wraith. Wielding even more power, more strength, and more magic than ever before, Desert's still not satisfied…not until she consumes Wren's too. Tell will stop at nothing to save his sister, and while he lacks magic himself, he discovers one of their friends has mystical powers and is as determined as Tell is to save Wren—the girl who once saved him. Separated for the first time, Tell and Wren are both left to rely on their quick wits, mountain training, and allies old and new to vanquish Desert once and for all. As desperate sorcerers prepare to battle the twisted wraith, they know losing would mean losing the city of Halfway…and each other.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Un épisode initialement diffusé le 18 décembre 2024, et qui a été très apprécié. N'hésitez pas à l'envoyer aux hommes de votre entourage, car ils sont très rares à prendre en charge leur santé dont leur santé mentale. L'occasion aussi de vous signaler la sortie du nouveau livre de Maud Le Rest, aux éditions La Meute "Toi t'es pas comme les autres filles”, sur le phénomène des "pick me", ou syndrome de la Schtroumpfette, ces femmes qui n'ont pas encore découvert le féminisme, la sororité, et souhaitent à tout prix être choisies, validées par les hommes. Maud Le Rest est journaliste et autrice, elle consacre un ouvrage, "Tu devrais voir quelqu'un" (éditions Anne Carrière), à un sujet d'utilité publique : la santé mentale des hommes, leur refus d'en prendre soin, et l'impact que ce choix catastrophique, a sur la société entière, et en premier lieu, les femmes. Le Bechdel test est une des illustrations : est-il possible qu'au cinéma, 2 femmes parlent d'autre chose ensemble que d'un homme de leur vie ? Notre vie entière est consacrée en bonne partie à prendre soin des hommes : père, frère(s), grands-parents, oncles, cousins, amis, et un jour.. compagnon, ex-compagnon. 80% de nos séances chez 1 psy tournent autour d'eux. Ces charge mentale, charge affective, charge sexuelle, devraient être partagées. Chères auditrices, chers auditeurs alliés, Maud Le Rest et moi vous invitons à poser la question à tous les hommes autour de vous : combien seraient prêts à consulter pour régler leurs problèmes : addictions, mauvaise gestion financière, professionnelle, affective, manque d'engagement auprès de leurs proches, de leurs amis, violence envers eux-mêmes et envers les autres etc. Indice : commencez par les sportifs et les fêtards, ils ont visiblement du temps et un budget. Reste la volonté, enfin, de prendre soin d'eux, pour avoir enfin de la considération pour autrui, à commencer par les femmes qui les entourent. Bonne écoute ! Précisions : à 13'30 j'évoque une vidéo de France TV Slash, relayé par Odiawara, avec le chanteur Kalash et Fabrice Eboué, et je précise "leur culture créole". Or seul Kalash a une culture créole. Fabrice Eboué est né en Ile de France il est métis, mais son père est camerounais, et sa maman, blanche, normande. Depuis la diffusion de cet épisode, Kalash a été accusé de violences économiques (entre autres) par son ex-femmes et mère de leurs deux filles "Non-paiement de pensions alimentaires, non-respect de certains décisions de justice, conflits récurrents" https://rci.fm/deuxiles/infos/People/Ingrid-Littre-livre-Sa-Verite-sur-sa-relation-avec-Kalash Si vous voulez soutenir Single Jungle, avec un don en une seule fois, j'ai ouvert un Tipeee : https://fr.tipeee.com/single-jungle.

À l'époque, il offrait huit séances gratuites par an, mais uniquement sur prescription médicale. Jusqu'ici limité à 8 séances annuelles gratuites sur ordonnance, il passe à 12 consultations par an sans formalités. https://www.sortiraparis.com/actualites/a-paris/articles/322452-sante-mentale-une-seance-de-psy-gratuite-chaque-mois-pour-les-francais-des-2025Le dispositif mis en place en place en mars 2021 à destination des étudiants à la suite de l'épidémie de Covid-19 est prolongé en 2023 (et 2024 ?). Vous êtes étudiant·e et vous ressentez le besoin d'une aide psychologique ? Vous pouvez bénéficier de 8 consultations gratuites avec un psychologue, sans avance de frais. Tous les étudiants qui le souhaitent peuvent en bénéficier." https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/actualites/A14726 Si vous vivez dans une localité où il n'y a pas de psy ou s'ils/elles n'ont pas de disponibilités avant plusieurs semaines, vous pouvez faire une téléconsultation, notamment via Qare https://www.qare.fr/ Si vous n'avez droit à aucune aide financière mais que vous souhaitez suivre une thérapie, un travail sur votre estime de soi, et pensez ne pas en avoir les moyens. Vous pouvez poser la question aux psychologues/psychiatres dans votre secteur (à voir sur Doctolib), il arrive régulièrement qu'ils/elles acceptent d'adapter leur tarif à leur patientèle. Dans mon cas par exemple, ma psy pratiquait le tarif de base de 40€ la séance (non remboursée par la sécurité sociale ou mutuelle), je ne pouvais pas aller au-delà de 30€ la séance la 1ère année, elle a accepté, le temps que mes finances s'améliorent. Et je sais que pour d'autres patientes (dont une de mes amies intermittente du spectacle), elle peut descendre à 20€ par exemple. Il suffit d'en parler ! Votre santé mentale mérite d'y réfléchir ! C'est le meilleur cadeau qu'on puisse s'offrir.

Montage et réalisation : Aurélie Rodrigues. AVERTISSEMENT IMPORTANT : Ne jamais s'inscrire sur une application ou site de rencontres payant sans 1) lire les avis sur Google (Play store) ou Apple (App store) 2) lire les conditions tarifaires de l'abonnement. Ainsi je vous déconseille fortement le site PARSHIP, qui pratique l'extorsion : on ne peut pas résilier avant 1 an obligatoire, même si on n'utilise plus le service, qui n'est pas satisfaisant, car très peu de personnes dans votre région. Le service client n'a que mépris pour les clients et le service communication ne veut rien entendre (un comble), aucun arrangement possible. Donc évitez une dépense inutile.Episode enregistré en novembre 2024 chez Isabelle, à Paris, merci à elle et à son chat pour leur hospitalité.Prise de son, montage et mixage : Isabelle FieldMusique : Nouveau générique ! Vous l'avez reconnu ? C'est le générique de la série mythique des années 90 "Code Quantum" avec Scott Bakula. J'adore cette série, féministe, inclusive.

Prayer is a learned discipline that requires intentionality, not just recitation. Rev. Joseph Baah Obeng uses Luke 11 and Jesus' example to emphasize the necessity of seeking solitude to connect with God effectively. True prayer involves total dependence on God, persisting through unanswered prayers, and aligning with His will through His Word.

Have you ever wondered why some people need quiet time to feel at their best? In this episode, David Hall explores why solitude is essential for introverts—not as an escape, but as a powerful tool for clarity, creativity, and resilience.

Fluent Fiction - Hindi: Unearthing Solitude: Arjun's Transformative Adventure Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hi/episode/2026-07-13-07-38-19-hi Story Transcript:Hi: गर्मियों की धूप में, कुल्लू-मनाली की हरीभरी वादियाँ रोशनी से चमक रही थीं।En: In the summer sunshine, the lush valleys of Kullu-Manali were glistening with light.Hi: पहाड़ों से उतरती ठंडी हवा और चारों तरफ खिले जंगली फूल, जैसे प्रकृति का व्यापक आलिंगन कर रहे हों।En: The cool breeze descending from the mountains and the wildflowers blooming all around seemed to embrace nature in its entirety.Hi: ऐसे ही सुहाने मौसम में स्कूल के छात्रों का जनसमूह, कुल्लू-मनाली की यात्रा पर आया था।En: In such pleasant weather, a group of school students had come on a trip to Kullu-Manali.Hi: उनमें से एक था अर्जुन, एक जिज्ञासु और साहसी छात्र, जिसे भीड़ में कुछ अकेलापन महसूस होता था।En: Among them was Arjun, a curious and adventurous student who often felt a sense of loneliness in the crowd.Hi: अर्जुन के साथ उसकी दोस्त प्रिया और रोहित भी थे, लेकिन अर्जुन का मन हमेशा हीड़-भीड़ से अलग कुछ नया खोजने का होता था।En: Arjun was accompanied by his friends Priya and Rohit, but his mind was always inclined towards exploring something new away from the hustle and bustle.Hi: उसे पर्यटकों की भीड़ और रोज़मर्रा की जगहों से हटकर कुछ अलग खोजने की चेष्टा रहती थी।En: He always sought to find something different from the crowd of tourists and everyday places.Hi: उसका मन चाहता था कि वो ऐसे स्थान को खोजे, जो आम लोगों की नज़रों से छिपा हो, जहां प्रकृति की गोद में वह अकेला होकर खुद को ढूंढ सके।En: He wanted to discover a place that was hidden from the common eye, where he could find himself alone in the lap of nature.Hi: एक दिन का सफर शेष था, जब बस तेज गति से पहाड़ों की मोड़ों से गुजर रही थी।En: With one day left for the journey, the bus was speeding through the bends of the mountains.Hi: बीच में सफर थोड़ा ठहराव लिया गया।En: The journey took a brief halt.Hi: सहपाठी बस से बाहर निकले और अपने कैमरे निकालकर तस्वीरें लेने में व्यस्त हो गए।En: The classmates stepped out of the bus and busied themselves taking pictures with their cameras.Hi: उसी समय अर्जुन ने एक लोकल गाइड को सुना, जो एक अनजान रास्ते का ज़िक्र कर रहा था।En: At that moment, Arjun overheard a local guide mentioning an unknown path.Hi: अर्जुन के मन में उत्सुकता ने जन्म ले लिया।En: A curiosity sparked within Arjun.Hi: देर तक सोचने के बाद, उसने तय किया कि वह गाइड के बताए रास्ते की तरफ जाएगा।En: After thinking for a while, he decided he would head towards the path suggested by the guide.Hi: यह उसके लिए बिल्कुल नया अनुभव था, और दिल की धड़कनें तेज होने लगीं।En: It was a completely new experience for him, and his heart started beating faster.Hi: डर था, लेकिन नया खोजने की चाह उससे जूझ रही थी।En: There was fear, but the desire to discover something new was wrestling with it.Hi: सारी हिम्मत बटोरकर, वह अपने दोस्तों से थोड़ी दूरी पर चल पड़ा।En: Gathering all his courage, he walked a bit away from his friends.Hi: रास्ता कठिन था, मगर अर्जुन की जिज्ञासा उसे आगे खींच रही थी।En: The path was difficult, but Arjun's curiosity was pulling him forward.Hi: कुछ ही दूर पर उसे एक सुंदर और शांत नदी का मोड़ दिखा।En: Not far ahead, he saw a beautiful and serene bend of a river.Hi: पानी के बहने की मधुर ध्वनि ने उसके मन को शांति दी।En: The sweet sound of the flowing water brought peace to his mind.Hi: जगह इतनी सुंदर थी कि शब्द थम गए।En: The place was so beautiful that words fell short.Hi: चारों ओर हरी-भरी घास, फूलों की मीठी खुशबू और नदी का शीतल पानी – यह एक अद्भुत स्थल था।En: All around, there was lush green grass, the sweet fragrance of flowers, and the cool river water – it was a wonderful spot.Hi: अर्जुन को यकीन था कि उसने वह पा लिया जो वह खोज रहा था।En: Arjun was convinced that he had found what he was looking for.Hi: शाम होते-होते, अर्जुन वापस अपने दोस्तों के पास लौट आया।En: By evening, Arjun returned to his friends.Hi: उसकी आँखों में एक नयी चमक थी।En: There was a new sparkle in his eyes.Hi: उसने महसूस किया कि अकेलेपन में कोई न कोई खास ताकत होती है, जो हमें अपने आप से मिलाती है और हमारे भीतर छिपी साहस की चिंगारी को प्रकाशित करती है।En: He realized that there is a special power in solitude that connects us with ourselves and ignites a spark of courage hidden within us.Hi: इस यात्रा के बाद अर्जुन अपने आप में थोड़ा बदल चुका था।En: After this journey, Arjun had changed slightly.Hi: अब उसमें आत्मविश्वास था और मन को शांति देने वाली एक नवीन ऊर्जा।En: He now had confidence and a newfound energy that brought peace to his mind.Hi: कुल्लू-मनाली की इस यात्रा ने उसे अपने विश्वास पर चलने की ताकत दी थी, साथ ही उसे यह भी सिखाया कि यात्रा का असली अर्थ किसी जगह पर पहुँचना नहीं, बल्कि खुद की नई खोज करना होता है।En: The trip to Kullu-Manali had given him the strength to follow his beliefs, and it also taught him that the true meaning of a journey is not arriving at a destination but discovering a new self.

Prayer should never be a dull routine; it should be the heartbeat of your spiritual life. Rev. Dr. Joseph Baah Obeng teaches that true prayer connects us with God, energizing our faith and yielding tangible results. However, this level of connection demands intentionality. Learn from Jesus' example in Luke 11: seek solitude, remove distractions, and prioritize personal devotion to transform your prayer life from a ritual into a relationship.

Régulièrement, l'équipe de Folie Douce partage avec vous les extraits les plus marquants des épisodes du podcast. Aujourd'hui, on vous propose de réécouter l'autrice Elizabeth Gilbert.Dans cet extrait, Elizabeth Gilbert évoque sa relation amoureuse avec sa meilleure amie, Raya, et la charge mentale dévolue aux femmes et minorités, enfermées dans ce carcan par les personnes que cela arrange. Lorsqu'on demande aux femmes ce qu'elles veulent, elles répondent : être seules.Vous trouverez cet entretien sous deux formes : l'une complètement en anglais, l'autre doublée et expliquée en français par moi-même si vous préférez (les deux se trouvent séparément dans le flux du podcast, suivez les drapeaux !)Le lendemain de l'enregistrement de cet épisode - une dinguerie vous verrez -, je n'avais qu'une idée en tête : écrire à Elizabeth Gilbert, garder le lien avec elle. Cette femme a un charisme fou. Je le sais depuis 2006, lorsqu'elle a publié Mange, Prie, Aime, un livre qui a inspiré des millions de femmes - dont moi. Vingt ans plus tard, elle publie un livre poignant, Jusqu'à la rivière, dont elle estime qu'il est « la suite » de ce premier best seller. Le contenu en est bien plus sombre. Il lui a fallu huit ans pour avoir la force de « retourner en enfer » pour raconter l'histoire d'amour destructrice vécue avec son âme-soeur, Raya, atteinte d'un cancer en phase terminale et dépendante à la cocaïne et à l'héroïne. Elizabeth Gilbert, elle, était dépendante à l'idée qu'elle devait sauver Raya. Si, sur le papier, elle avait l'air d'être la « personne saine et altruiste », elle a compris ensuite qu'elle était « tout aussi folle, peut-être plus » que sa compagne. C'est ça, la « codépendance » un concept mal connu en France, qu'elle décrit d'une façon limpide : déverser dans l'autre tout ce qu'on est, puis rester « mains tendues, en espérant récupérer une miette de l'amour qu'on a déversé ». Elizabeth Gilbert est allée aux Codépendants Anonymes, et a fait ce fameux « programme en douze étapes » qui implique un bilan moral total, qu'elle décrit comme le moment le plus salvateur de sa vie.Elle me charme. Elle me fait rire. La conclusion à laquelle elle aboutit dans ce livre est exactement la même que celle à laquelle j'ai abouti dans Enfin Seule. Elle explore la nécessité pour les êtres humains, en particulier les femmes, de trouver l'apaisement dans une capacité reconquise d'être enfin heureuse seule.C'est pour ça que cet entretien m'a bouleversée. Je sais déjà qu'il vous plaira !Faites moi des retours sur les réseaux sociaux et n'oubliez pas de mettre des étoiles partout ! Ça aide Folie Douce à essaimer

What happens when a feeling we assume is a universal human experience is actually shaped, defined, and even created by our specific cultural language and material conditions? Macquarie University's Future Fellow at the School of Humanities, Dr. Katie Barclay, joins host PJ Wehry to discuss the overlooked complexities of a deeply human emotion. Dr. Barclay explores the history and cultural variety of this feeling in her book, Loneliness in World History. They examine how loneliness is frequently not just an internal psychological state, but rather a reflection of our relationships with our environment, our community, and the specific language we use to make sense of our world. In this conversation they explore: How the "language trap" challenges our ability to compare emotions across cultures, and why translating words for love and loneliness requires understanding their thick cultural context. The surprising nighttime weeping rituals of the Kaluli people in Papua New Guinea, where singing about loneliness serves as a cathartic communal release of pain. Why the historical narrative of human "modernization"—moving from supposedly primitive communal selves to modern individualized subjects—carries deeply colonial and problematic assumptions. The physiological elements of isolation, including "touch hunger" and how the modern internet trend of Mukbang satiates the deep-seated desire to eat alongside a community. How physical places and material architecture—from fairy-tale forests to utopian high-rise flats and car-centric suburbs—actively teach us to feel isolated and shape our emotional experiences. The paradox of the "lonely genius," revealing how the supposedly solitary pursuit of art and creativity is fundamentally dependent on an unseen network of community support and labor. This is a conversation for anyone interested in world history, anthropology, and the humanities who wants to understand the cultural weight behind our everyday emotions and how we can navigate our increasingly isolated, digital modern age. Make sure to check out Dr. Barclay's book: Loneliness in World History

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic, we are joined by Caleb "Meatball" Adcock, a professional photographer and thru-hiker who completed the AT last year and is currently midway through the CDT, doing it almost entirely alone.  Caleb walks us through how he built a career shooting for brands like Hyperlite and Jetboil while thru-hiking, why authentic trail photography looks so different from what brands used to put out, getting Lyme disease on the AT and spending four days at the Yellow Deli, sleeping on a pool floaty for four days, what it's actually like to hike the CDT almost completely solo for months at a time, what he's learning about himself in the solitude, and the time he was charged by an angry momma moose multiple times near Leadville.  We wrap the show with my review of the popular KETL Mtn No Fry Sun Hoodie review, a complex question of the day involving depriving access to the rest of the world's meal access or cooking appliances, the triple crown of ways you'd behave differently if there were no ramifications, Why You Should Never Take Gear Advice to Heart, and many tears are shed as this is Chaunce's last Backpacker Radio studio visit as a Colorado resident.

To that end, Midge is very involved in her parish, The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd. Midge and her wife, along with their fur babies, enjoy spending time at their mountain cabin, hiking, and being with their friends. On today's episode we look at being loving in this time and place where everything is polarized. I focus on a quote by Thomas Merton,  who said in his book Thoughts in Solitude, "But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you." What does this mean for us and how can we walk and talk this today? Mentioned in this Episode:   The Unintentional Heretic Podcast w/ Rev.

The sermon focuses on Mark 1:29-39, where Jesus heals Peter's mother-in-law and then ministers to a crowd of sick and demon possessed people. After an exhausting stretch of ministry, Jesus rises early the next morning and retreats to a solitary place to pray. He uses this moment to highlight that Jesus modeled the spiritual discipline of solitude, not as a way to escape responsibility, but as a way to rest, reconnect with the Father, and receive direction. He also draws an important distinction between healthy solitude and unhealthy isolation, reminding the group that solitude is a temporary discipline meant to recharge us for community, not a permanent withdrawal from it.

In this episode, we see that the crowd wants to make Jesus King by force, but he chooses to go on the mountainside to find solitude.

Liang asked with concern when he saw Mei sitting on the ground.Zh: “不用了，我自己可以。”梅逞强地回答，努力想要站起来。En: "No need, I can do it myself," Mei replied stubbornly, trying hard to stand up.Zh: 但梁和倩没有走远，他们就在一旁默默等待，仿佛在等梅改变主意。En: But Liang and Qian did not go far, waiting quietly nearby, as if expecting Mei to change her mind.Zh: 随着太阳升高，梅开始感到无奈。En: As the sun rose higher, Mei began to feel helpless.Zh: 她明白，自己或许真的需要帮助。En: She realized that she might really need assistance.Zh: “也许，我们可以一起走。”倩微笑着说，声音如同夏日的凉风。En: "Perhaps, we can walk together," Qian said with a smile, her voice as refreshing as a summer breeze.Zh: 梅终于点了点头。En: Mei finally nodded.Zh: 梁和倩小心翼翼地扶着她，慢慢地向上走。En: Liang and Qian carefully helped her, slowly moving upwards together.Zh: 一路上，他们有说有笑，分享各自的旅行故事。En: Along the way, they exchanged stories and laughter, sharing their travel experiences.Zh: 梅感到有些安心，也开始喜欢这样轻松的氛围。En: Mei felt some relief and began to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.Zh: 终于，他们到达了梯田的最高处。En: Finally, they reached the top of the terraces.Zh: 太阳快要落山，夕阳染红了天际。En: The sun was about to set, painting the sky red.Zh: 梅举起相机，拍下龙舟在江面上飞驰的那一刻。En: Mei raised her camera to capture the moment when the dragon boats raced across the water's surface.Zh: 船只的鼓声震撼了整个梯田，所有旅人的欢笑声也回荡在整个山谷。En: The sound of the drums from the boats resonated throughout the terraces, echoed by the laughter of all the travelers in the valley.Zh: 梅放下相机，看着旁边的梁和倩，心里充满感激。En: Mei put down her camera and looked at Liang and Qian beside her, her heart filled with gratitude.Zh: 因为他们的帮助，她不仅达成了目标，还学到了关于友情和支持的重要性。En: With their help, she not only achieved her goal but also learned about the importance of friendship and support.Zh: 夕阳的余晖下，梅意识到接受别人的帮助并不意味着软弱，那是一种识别自身极限并拥抱身边群体的力量。En: In the afterglow of the sunset, Mei realized that accepting help from others doesn't signify weakness; it is a recognition of one's own limits and an embrace of the community around.Zh: 从此，她再也不会独自一人迎接未来的挑战。En: From now on, she would no longer face future challenges alone.

Je n'en étais pas à la page 50 de La Grande Méthode de Louisa Yousfi que je savais qu'il fallait que je la reçoive dans Folie Douce. J'ai été cueillie telle une cerise mûre à chaque lecture de ce texte qui relève autant du journal de bord que du livre sacré, oscillant entre la spiritualité la plus élevée et l'odeur de café brûlé d'un local militant la veille d'une manif.Louisa Yousfi est journaliste de formation, militante décoloniale et écrivaine. Depuis l'enfance, elle passe sa vie à “chercher le bon mot” et semble presque subir “une sophistication de la pensée qui est une incapacité à juste vivre”. Elle dédie son livre à sa mère, “qui n'en ferait pas toute une histoire”.Elle qui a secoué le monde des essais politiques avec son premier livre, Rester barbare (2022), embrasse ici le deuil d'un père, et un voyage funéraire vers l'Algérie qui convoque à la fois l'histoire familiale et coloniale.Avec Louisa Yousfi, nous parlons de la catastrophe imminente, du fascisme, de la guerre, de ce que ça fait d'élever deux garçons arabes dans un monde dans lequel “elle n'a aucune confiance” et de la transmission des luttes, comme son père lui a transmis le mot “Palestine”, avec sa force et sa magie.Elle dit qu'elle a l'impression de “comparaître” quand elle doit expliquer son geste créatif aux médias. Mais elle parle si bien de son geste d'écriture en "spirale autour d'un lieu" qui est "un grand secret, un silence, un trou", autour duquel il faut danser. Elle préfère rendre politique ce que d'autres décriraient comme psychique et propose d'affronter la noirceur de l'avenir "comme une grande épreuve qu'on traverse en retenant son souffle", plutôt que de l'aborder en "petites monades fragiles et vulnérables". C'est peut-être ça, sa Grande Méthode. Bonne écoute et partagez en masse sur les réseaux, commentez et likez pour aider Folie Douce à essaimer !Photo : Anthony Francin/La fabrique éditions

Sindre?En: "What are you doing up here, Sindre?"No: " spurte hun muntert.En: she asked cheerfully.No: "Det er en fest der nede!En: "There's a party down there!"No: "Sindre sukket, men kunne ikke unngå å smile tilbake.En: Sindre sighed but couldn't help but smile back.No: Det var vanskelig å ignorere tantens smittsomme energi.En: It was hard to ignore his aunt's infectious energy.No: "Jeg liker å være alene," svarte han litt sjenert.En: "I like being alone," he replied a bit shyly.No: Kari lo og begynte å fortelle historier.En: Kari laughed and began telling stories.No: Historier om rare familieøyeblikk, som den gangen Ola, Sindres onkel, fanget en enorm fisk bare for å miste den i det øyeblikk den skulle vises frem.En: Stories of quirky family moments, like the time Ola, Sindre's uncle, caught an enormous fish only to lose it the moment it was to be shown off.No: Sindre kunne ikke la være å le.En: Sindre couldn't help but laugh.No: Gradvist begynte han å slappe av mens han og Kari spiste og lo.En: Gradually, he began to relax as he and Kari ate and laughed.No: Så smilte hun lurt og sa: "Visste du at besteforeldrene våre en gang gikk seg vill på en tur, men endte opp med å bli funnet av en vennlig elg?En: Then she smiled slyly and said, "Did you know that our grandparents once got lost on a hike, but ended up being found by a friendly moose?"No: "Sindre lo høyt.En: Sindre laughed out loud.No: Tantes historier var for gode til å gå glipp av.En: Aunt's stories were too good to miss.No: Hun reiste seg, rakte ut hånden mot ham og sa: "Kom og bli med oss.En: She got

Sabbath rest is a gift that's talked about all over Scripture. Yet, we often interpret what God intended to be a blessing as a burden instead. Let's be honest: the idea of setting aside work to embrace a day of rest might feel unnecessary, intimidating, unattainable, legalistic, or just plain boring.Tune in for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi unpack the biblical heartbeat of the Sabbath — a day to slow down, trust God with your responsibilities, and delight in Jesus. They'll help you overcome resistances to God's gift of rest and equip you with simple, doable rhythms to help you experience the deep soul rest you long for through practicing Sabbath and spiritual retreats.Resources for this Episode:Your Best Life in Jesus' Easy Yoke: Rhythms of Grace to De-Stress and Live EmpoweredAttend a Soul Shepherding RetreatDonate to Support Soul Shepherding and Soul Talks

Boris Vallaud est un politique, Président du parti socialiste, président du groupe socialiste à l'Assemblée nationale, député des Landes et auteur de Nos vies ne sont pas des marchandises. Il vient de démissionner de la présidence du groupe PS au moment où on enregistre cet épisode.Je dois être honnête, ce n'est pas un hasard qu'en 9 ans de podcast je n'ai jamais invité de politiques encore ou presque.Ce n'est paspar désintérêt puisque les sujets que je traite sont profondément politiques. Mais parce que je voulais que ça soit une vraie conversation, pas une interview de promo, pas des éléments de langage, pas du positionnement de campagne. Je voulais qu'on parle de ce qui m'intéresse vraiment : pourquoi la société se fragmente, pourquoi les gens votent pour des gens qui ne défendent pas leurs intérêts, pourquoi la démocratie est sous pression, et ce qu'on peut y faire concrètement.Avec Boris, ça a marché j'ai l'impression mais je me méfie de mes propres incompétences à mettre en difficulté un politique en même temps. Le livre part d'une idée simple et tranchante, celle que l'on vit dans une immense boutique. Tout est à vendre, de la petite enfance jusqu'au grand âge, de notre attention jusqu'à notre imaginaire. Et cette colonisation est d'autant plus efficace qu'elle est silencieuse, on ne voit pas l'avant et l'après. Il existe une normalisation progressive de l'idée que tout a un prix, que tout se marchande, et que si vous ne pouvez pas payer, c'est votre problème.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de ça, mais aussi de ce que ça produit politiquement. Parce que la marchandisation ne détruit pas que les services publics, elle détruit les liens, crée des épidémies de solitude, fragmente les territoires, et au bout, elle crée un appel d'air pour ceux que Boris appelle les "marchands d'ordre". Et la convergence Trump-Musk qu'on voit se déployer en ce moment, c'est exactement ça : quand le marché a tout pris, la dernière chose à acheter, c'est la démocratie elle-même.J'ai questionné Boris Vallaud sur la fiscalité des milliardaires où les 500 plus grandes fortunes françaises représentent 40% du PIB contre 12% il y a vingt ans, et où le taux d'effort fiscal des milliardaires est inférieur à celui de quelqu'un qui entre dans la première tranche de l'impôt sur le revenu. Nous parlons de la réforme des retraites et de pourquoi certaines réformes qui semblent économiquement solides se fracassent politiquement. Nous parlons de désindustrialisation — et de qui en est responsable, les politiques ou les dirigeants d'entreprise qui ont théorisé "la France sans usines". Nous parlons d'intelligence artificielle comme révolution industrielle que la classe politique n'a pas encore vraiment regardée en face. Nous parlons d'écologie, d'agriculture, et de pourquoi la transition est vécue comme une menace par ceux qui ont le moins de marge de manœuvre. Et nous parlons des angles morts de la gauche — Boris les nomme lui-même, sans esquiver.Ce qui m'a frappé dans cet épisode, c'est quelque chose que je n'attendais pas : son rapport aux gens qui votent contre ce qu'il représente. Il ne les méprise pas. Il dit qu'il les connaît, qu'ils sont bien, qu'il leur donne raison sur beaucoup de choses. Et que c'est ça qui lui donne envie de continuer malgré tout — pas la conviction d'avoir raison, mais la conviction que les gens méritent mieux que ce qu'on leur propose.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de marchandisation, de services publics, de retraites, de désindustrialisation, de fiscalité, d'intelligence artificielle, d'écologie, de démocratie et de réseaux sociaux, de la gauche et de ses angles morts, et de ce que "représenter" veut vraiment dire quand on passe ses vendredis en permanence dans les Landes.Citations marquantes> "On vit dans une immense boutique. Tout est à vendre, de la petite enfance jusqu'au grand âge, jusqu'à soi-même, jusqu'à son imaginaire, jusqu'à sa conscience."> "C'est une avancée plus subreptice mais plus certaine qu'un coup d'état. Précisément parce qu'on ne voit pas l'avant et l'après. Et puis on se retrouve soi-même marchandise, au milieu de codes qui sont ceux du marché."> "Quand on abandonne la société au marché, la dernière Bastille à prendre, c'est la démocratie."> "Les milliardaires ont un taux d'effort fiscal inférieur à celui de quelqu'un qui entre dans la première tranche de l'impôt sur le revenu. Si tout le monde faisait le même effort, le juste effort, tout le monde vivrait mieux."> "Je ferme la porte à l'égoïsme et j'ouvre la porte sur la rencontre. Les gens sont courageux, généreux, intéressants."---Idées centrales1. La marchandisation est un coup d'État sans avant ni après~00:12:40 — 00:18:00Le marché n'a pas besoin d'une déclaration de victoire. Il avance par normalisation silencieuse. Le train où payer pour s'asseoir avec sa famille est devenu normal. La crèche où une amende a créé un marché du retard. Le moment où on n'est plus seulement un consommateur mais une marchandise soi-même. Baudrillard avait critiqué la société de consommation mais n'avait pas imaginé un marché aussi "totalisant et totalitaire" selon Boris. Ce qui est redoutable, c'est précisément l'absence de rupture visible.Pourquoi ça compte : ça change la façon dont on parle de capitalisme. Ce n'est plus un ennemi déclaré, c'est une colonisation du quotidien.2. Le service public coûte moins cher que son absence~00:25:54 — 00:29:52La santé française représente 12% du PIB, gratuite à l'usage, avec une espérance de vie supérieure aux États-Unis où la santé représente 18% du PIB, privée, et laisse des dizaines de millions de personnes sans couverture correcte. La vraie question n'est pas "l'État sait-il gérer ?" mais "combien coûte la marchandisation ?" C'est un retournement rhétorique qui déplace le débat là où il devrait être.Pourquoi ça compte : ça donne des armes concrètes dans un débat trop souvent posé en termes abstraits.3. La mixité scolaire fonctionne, et personne n'en parle~00:31:40 — 00:36:00À Toulouse, les enfants du quartier du Mirail ont été intégrés dans les collèges du centre-ville, dont Fermat et Saint-Sernin. Résultat : leur taux de réussite au brevet a rejoint la moyenne nationale. "Personne n'y a perdu. Tout le monde a été tiré vers le haut." C'est une réponse concrète, documentée, à la logique de ségrégation scolaire qui progresse avec la marchandisation de l'éducation.Pourquoi ça compte : une victoire réelle, mesurable, qui ne fait pas la une.4. L'IA est une révolution industrielle sans politique à sa hauteur~01:03:05 — 01:07:10Boris reconnaît la sidération. Il propose l'analogie de la Red Team du ministère de la Défense, qui fait appel à des auteurs de science-fiction pour imaginer les menaces du futur. Ce même travail devrait être fait sur l'IA. La question concrète qu'il pose : si votre enfant s'oriente aujourd'hui vers une formation, comment savoir si elle sera encore utile dans cinq ans ? Le marché est incapable de donner de la valeur à l'utilité sociale, et c'est l'IA qui va redessiner ce partage.Pourquoi ça compte : une position qui n'est ni dans la panique ni dans l'euphorie, avec une proposition d'action.5. La démocratie est la dernière Bastille du marché~01:17:25 — 01:21:15La convergence Trump-Musk n'est pas une coïncidence. Les 7 plus grandes entreprises américaines de la tech ont une capitalisation boursière qui dépasse le PIB des 27 pays de l'Union européenne. Quand le rapport de forces entre puissance publique et puissance privée est aussi déséquilibré, et que les oligarques de la tech contrôlent les plateformes sur lesquelles se forment les opinions, la démocratie délibérative est structurellement fragilisée.Pourquoi ça compte : ça sort la menace sur la démocratie du registre anecdotique pour la replacer dans la logique marchande.6. La gauche a des angles morts qu'elle refuse de regarder~01:21:15 — 01:25:20Boris les nomme sans esquiver : la mondialisation, qu'elle a soutenue sans voir la désindustrialisation venir ; la crise environnementale, où elle a tardé ; la culture, devenue orpheline ; et surtout les territoires ruraux, la France des sous-préfectures, qui ne se sent pas représentée. Ce qui est frappant, c'est qu'il l'admet sans chercher à s'en sortir avec une formule.Pourquoi ça compte : un politique qui admet ses angles morts crédibilise tout le reste de ce qu'il dit.---Questions posées dans l'interview1. De tous les sujets possibles, pourquoi avoir choisi la marchandisation comme angle central de ce livre ?2. Comment on sort d'un système d'hyper-marchandisation quand il est global et qu'aucun pays ne peut le faire seul ?3. Qu'est-ce qui vous intéresse encore dans la politique nationale là où la politique locale semble plus efficace et plus proche des gens ?4. Combien coûte vraiment la marchandisation — est-ce que l'État social revient finalement moins cher que son absence ?5. Pourquoi les Français ont-ils du mal à accepter que le problème est en haut plutôt qu'en bas, sur la fiscalité des héritages et des grandes fortunes ?6. Comment expliquer que la gauche perde des batailles culturelles sur des sujets où les chiffres sont pourtant de son côté ?7. La désindustrialisation depuis Mitterrand — erreur fondamentale, ou choix assumé par les dirigeants d'entreprise autant que par les politiques ?8. Est-ce que la démocratie peut survivre aux réseaux sociaux, et a fortiori aux réseaux sociaux alimentés par l'IA ?9. Quels sont les angles morts de la gauche — les sujets qu'elle refuse de regarder en face ?10. Si vous ne deviez choisir qu'un seul premier acte contre la marchandisation, ce serait lequel ?---Références citées dans l'épisodeLivres / auteurs- Nos vies ne sont pas des marchandises, Boris Vallaud (le livre de l'invité, fil conducteur de l'épisode)- Jean Baudrillard, critique de la société de consommation (*La Société de consommation*) — cité ~00:13:42 dans le contexte de la colonisation par le marché- Antoine Fouchet [À VÉRIFIER orthographe] — son travail sur la CSG, le financement de la protection sociale et la désindustrialisation — cité ~00:47:50 et ~01:25:24- Printemps silencieux [À VÉRIFIER : attribué à Rachel Carson dans la tradition écologiste] — cité ~01:12:40 comme livre "tragique et intéressant" sur la disparition des insectes- Camille Penny — cité brièvement sur le thème de la générosité et de l'égoïsme — ~01:34:49Films / séries- Matrix, Wall-E, Avatar, Black Mirror — cités comme œuvres culturelles qui ont anticipé les enjeux de l'IA et du contrôle numérique — ~01:20:45Études / données- Les 500 plus grandes familles françaises représentent 40% du PIB (contre 12% il y a 20 ans) — ~00:36:34- Taux d'effort fiscal des milliardaires inférieur à la première tranche de l'impôt sur le revenu — ~00:38:42- 160 milliards d'euros d'aides aux entreprises, étude du Sénat — ~00:40:00- 25 à 30% de non-recours au RSA — ~00:55:03- Fondation Jean-Jaurès : étude sur la corrélation entre fermeture des PMU/bistrots et progression du vote RN — ~01:18:15- Cité des sciences : 76% des Français pensent avoir l'esprit critique, mais 40% refusent de parler à des gens avec qui ils ne sont pas d'accord — ~01:18:34- France : 12% du PIB consacré à la santé / États-Unis : 18% — ~00:26:00- Exemple Sanofi : 1 milliard d'euros d'aides publiques à la recherche, puis licenciements de chercheurs — ~00:40:00Personnalités / modèles- Vienne (Autriche) : modèle de logement social, 80% de locataires, 60% de logements publics, mixité sociale préservée — ~00:18:00- Landes : zéro EHPAD à but lucratif, régie publique de l'eau, premier département producteur d'énergie photovoltaïque — ~00:18:00 / ~01:17:09- Toulouse, collège du Mirail : mixité scolaire avec Fermat et Saint-Sernin — ~00:33:00- Red Team du ministère de la Défense : auteurs de science-fiction pour anticiper les menaces — ~01:20:00- Arnaud Montebourg, travail commun au ministère du Redressement productif — ~00:58:34- Léo Lagrange / Front populaire : politique du temps libéré — ~01:26:14- Jacques Chirac : "Notre maison brûle" — ~01:08:00Timestamps clés 00:08:25 — Intro : l'invité et le livreGreg présente Boris Vallaud et l'angle de l'épisode : on vit dans une immense boutique, et ce n'est pas anodin.00:12:40 — La marchandisation, plus sûre qu'un coup d'ÉtatUne avancée silencieuse, sans avant ni après visible.

You may have come across the quote: “Motivation gets you started, but discipline keeps you growing." By John C. Maxwell, the author and leadership mentor.  Motivation is an interesting concept. It's often required to get things started, but if you only rely on your motivation to do something, particularly if that something is not easy or particularly enjoyable, it won't keep you going.  This week, we're looking at how to use motivation to develop the right habits that will keep you consistent.  Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin The 2026 Summer Sale page The COD Productivity Method  Learn more about the Quiet Productivity Method here Get Your Copy Of Your Time, Your Way: Time Well Managed, Life Well Lived The Working With… Weekly Newsletter Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes Subscribe to my Substack  The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page Script |423 Hello, and welcome to episode 423 of the Your Time, Your Way Podcast. A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  One of the consequences of writing a journal every morning is that you come up with a lot of ideas about how you would like to change your life or the way you work. And many of those ideas can motivate you to try something new.  That could mean reading a real book every evening instead of watching TV or scrolling through the news and social media. Or perhaps to go out for an evening stroll after work, or plan your day the evening before, so you can enjoy a more relaxing evening. All seemingly easy to do.  And then you decide to do it. The first day is easy, the second a little less so and by the time you get to the end of the week, you've lost all motivation and picking up a book or going outside for a walk feels like the last thing you want to do after such a hard day. So you skip it. It's only one day, it can't do any harm, can it? And then the next day you don't do it, and the day after that and so on. Eventually, that great idea you had about changing a bad habit has ended up in the pit of tried-but-forgotten great ideas.  It happens to all of us. It doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with you; all it means is that you're relying on one of the most overrated ways to change something, motivation.  Motivation is fleeting; it never lasts, and it hates reality. It's also affected by the quality of your sleep, how distracted you are, and your overall mood. It's a very unreliable friend.  Great at encouraging you to get started, but terrible at keeping you going when things get difficult.  The good news is there is a more reliable way to make changes, but the bad news is you may need to initially feel uncomfortable. Yet it's worth it.  So, with that said, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Fran. Fran asks, Hi Carl, what do you do when you don't have the motivation to do what you have planned to do?  Hi Fran, thank you for your question.  To answer your question directly, I don't rely on motivation. I remember the days when I smoked, and almost every night, when I went to bed, I would motivate myself not to smoke the next day.  Thinking about that now, it's funny, because as I was “motivating” myself, I was smoking my last cigarette of the day. “No, I won't smoke tomorrow!” Then, when I woke up in the morning, I would make my coffee, then go outside for my first cigarette of the day.  Where was my motivation when I needed it most? It wasn't there.  In the end, I finally quit smoking by removing all temptation from the house and not carrying any money with me when I went out. Just my travel card and a lunchbox. It was tough, but after a couple of weeks, the habit was disappearing, and by the end of the month, I could not imagine smoking again.  I've seen this time and time again with people. Those who motivate themselves to go out for an evening walk after dinner, for example. It's easy to do that in the summer, when it's likely still light outside and the weather's warm and dry.  Then the temperatures cool, the light fades, and the rain comes down. “Ah, it's cold and raining, I won't go out tonight, I'm tired anyway, and I left my umbrella at the office.”  The one that still surprises me, though, is the daily planning.  Daily planning takes no more than five minutes and can be done just before you finish your work for the day or as the last thing in the evening, before you go to bed.  Five minutes, and after a while, it can be done in 2 or 3 minutes.  And yet, people still struggle. Why? Because they are relying on motivation.  I remember when I first read Hyrum Smith's Ten Natural Laws of Time and Life Management, and when I read the chapter on planning your day, I was incredibly motivated.  I was fortunate that as I was reading the book, I was setting up my Franklin Planner and one of the steps when using a Franklin Planner is to do the “planning and solitude” exercise every day.  It was suggested that you give yourself 15 minutes a day for this, and the first thing you wrote at the top of your Prioritised Daily Task list was “Planning and Solitude,” which would be given priority A1. It was the most important task of the day.  And that's what I did every evening. I sat at the table with my planner and planned out the next day. Then, I checked off the Planning and Solitude task. This meant that by the next day, my first task was already complete.  And since then, which was the early 1990s, I haven't missed some form of a daily planning ritual. I cannot imagine going to bed not knowing where I need to be and what needs to be done.  I doubt now I could get to sleep without knowing. I even do this when on holiday.  Just saying that now means I've consistently planned my day for over 30 years! WOW! The people who succeed at staying consistent with their plans are the ones who start small.  Often, we will take a course or read a book, get motivated and try to change everything all at once.  That's the hardest way to do it. Recently, I've been watching documentaries on how great football managers turn teams around. I've now studied Pep Guardiola, Sir Alex Ferguson, Johan Cruif and Mikel Arteta. And there's a common thread between all of them.  When they took over a team, the team was not performing. Often, they were struggling at the bottom of their league.  Yet, the change didn't happen overnight. It was a slow, step-by-step process. In all cases, they first fired old players who may have been brilliant, but were unwilling to adopt a new philosophy or were a bad influence on new players.  They recruited professional players who were willing to adapt to the new style of play. And in almost all cases, their first season was not great.  Then things began to change: the team started climbing the league and eventually winning trophies.  These managers treated the necessary changes as a project. It wasn't about “motivating” the players to play better; it was about having them buy into the new culture of doing things.  As Arsene Wenger, the legendary Arsenal manager, said in one interview when talking about his successor following his retirement: “We need someone who understands that football is not just about winning. It's about how you win. The philosophy has to come first. The results follow the philosophy, not the other way round. The philosophy is not a tactic. It's a value”  In other words, when you decide something needs to change, knowing why it needs to change is important. What's your reason, your philosophy and the value behind that change?  When you know the reason you want to change, “motivation” no longer comes into it.  One of my clients works for a company that was advised by a well-known consultancy to change its management methods to an “Agile” system.  There was then a flurry of activity by senior management, a great deal of money spent on training, and many employees were made redundant.  Ten years later, that company has slowly moved back to the way they managed things before they were force-fed Agile. What went wrong? Well, the motivation was high at the start of the transformation. Senior managers were buying into the vision that the consultancy company was selling. The problem was that there was no clear reason to change.  Sales were great, the culture was one of the best in the industry, and people loved working for the company. The company's sales team had strong relationships with their customers, and while there were areas for improvement, there was no need for a root-and-branch change in how everything was run.  Today, the company is struggling against its competition, the employees are demotivated, and sales are average at best.  And yet the Agile methods could have worked had the reasons for the change been better communicated. My client still has no idea why the company changed its management methods.  Without a strong reason to change, you will find your motivation runs out very quickly.  Talking with some of the members of my Retirement programme, I'm surprised by how quickly they start taking health and fitness seriously after retirement.  We go through our working lives sitting for 8 hours a day, slowly and quietly destroying our posture and mobility. We don't sleep enough and eat convenient food because who's got time to eat healthily when you have hundreds of messages to respond to, and you've got to get the latest marketing campaign finished by the end of the week? And then we go for a medical check-up and discover that we are pre-diabetic, we have early signs of heart disease, we are no longer able to get up out of a chair without using our arms, and we haven't seen our feet for years. Suddenly, we've found the motivation to eat and sleep better. We take those daily walks, and many of us join fitness classes.  But to continue with this new, healthier lifestyle requires more than motivation. There needs to be a purpose.  Recently, it was reported that former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. He was fortunate that the cancer was caught early, and he's now in remission.  Suddenly, a guy who lived an unhealthy lifestyle of cigarettes, wine, sitting around, poor sleep and extreme work schedules has become a non-smoking, vegetarian, teatotaller  Sure, the shock of being within a year of death was pretty good motivation, but why is he sticking to his new lifestyle? Because, as he says, he wants to see his grandchildren grow up. Now that's a pretty good reason for making these difficult changes.  So there you go, Fran. Motivation is great for getting you started, but ultimately, you want a very good reason to change what you want to change.  Getting organised, improving time management, and being more productive are nice things to do. You feel more in control of your life, are more relaxed, a lot less stressed, and you find you sleep better. But the most important thing is to know why you are doing it.  For me, being less stressed, being more in control of my time, and getting the right things done at the right time give me more time to spend with my family and do the things I love.  That's my “why”. That's why I make sure I do my daily and weekly planning, why I am strict about what I say yes to and why I will never let my email and messages become backlogged.  I hope that helps, and thank you again for sending in your question.  Thank you to you too for listening, and it just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.   

As we continue our series on Misliving, focusing on creating a life that is not filled with distractions and focuses on the most important things, we discuss the importance of solitude. Jesus often withdrew to lonely places to pray with God and so should we. We must get anchored to him before we get battered by the waves of the world.

Jesus lived a busy life yet regularly found times of solitude to be alone with God. We should practice what Jesus modeled.

One day six men are going to carry your casket. Do you have those six men identified now?   Joe Moffett has logged over 45,000 peak-performance coaching calls. He holds a master's in performance psychology, spent nearly a decade with Tony Robbins, served five years in the Marine Corps, and is now Chief Development Officer at Millionaire Man Cave.

Welcome to tonight's episode of Books at Bedtime, brought to you by the Anchored app. Tonight, we continue our gentle journey through H.G. Wells' science fiction masterpiece, The Time Machine, with Chapter 6: "The Sunset of Mankind". As the evening settles and the day's tension fades away, join us in the year 802,701 AD. In this chapter, our Time Traveller climbs to a lonely, moss-draped crest overlooking a silent, transformed Thames Valley. Underneath the warm, golden glow of a fading sunset, he contemplates a world completely free from toil, disease, and social struggle—a beautiful, ruinous paradise where humanity has conquered nature, but lost its restless edge. Let the rhythmic cadence of tonight's reading quiet your mind, slow your breathing, and guide you into a restful, restorative sleep.Cold Intro"A queer thing I soon discovered about my little hosts, and that was their lack of interest. They would come to me with eager cries of astonishment like children, but like children they would very soon stop examining me, and wander away after some other toy. It was odd, too, how speedily I came to disregard these little people ... I emerged from the great hall, and the scene was lit by a warm glow of the setting sun."

Let these gentle insights anchor your mind into a state of total security:I step out of the rush of the world and into the calm of the evening. The struggle of the day is completely gone; I am safe, secure, and at peace. Like a quiet garden after the storm, my mind is still and settled. I release the need to strive, allowing myself to sink into contented rest. I am protected by a quiet landscape of peace as the darkness gently gathers. 3 Bedtime Insights for a Restful MindReflecting on the Traveller's peaceful twilight observations, carry these comforting thoughts into your dreams:After the Battle Comes Quiet: The Traveller notes that humanity's historical struggles ultimately paved the way for absolute stillness. Let go of today's efforts; your battles for the day are done, and it is time for your quiet reaction of rest. The Grindstone is Broken: We often keep our minds sharp and anxious on the "grindstone of necessity". In sleep, that grindstone is broken. You have no social or economic struggles to solve tonight. Surrender to the Sunset: Watch the flaming gold and horizontal bars of purple fade away in your mind's eye. Just as the old world effortlessly accepted the sunset, give yourself full permission to gracefully surrender to the gathering dark.

Thoreau's Performative Solitude at Walden Pond. Guest: Bruce Nichols. Henry David Thoreau built his famous cabin on land owned by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Contrary to his image as a total hermit, Thoreau was quite social, often walking into town for fresh-cooked meals and laundry. He eventually spent years refining his journals into the masterpiece Walden. 101929 EMERSON OLD MANSE
