I'm writing this as every news channel is forecasting “doom and gloom” for the economy, not just in this little country of ours, but world wide. You can however manage to “switch out” by recalling nice memories, and simply enjoying a deep breath, always realising that when things seem hopeless there is always chance for optimism and opportunity. When situations seem impossible things can become possible.
It has become an almost iconic sign of our times – the dreaded stress word, yet it is still an epidemic that nobody seems to know that much about. Many people appear to be suffering from it, yet nobody knows exactly what causes it, or why. There is, as yet no magic pill we can pop to make it go away! The general consensus, however, is that it is our body’s non-specific reaction to the demands put on it. Stress seems to affect everyone in different ways – from tension headaches to spot outbreaks of the common cold. So, what can we do about it? This is where the assistance of a Life Coach can benefit you.
What does Life Coaching do?
Life Coaching offers you that time, space and encouragement to focus on yourself, what your difficulties really are, and what you would like to achieve. This process facilitates the possibility of real change in your life.
A Life Coach does not provide the answers, as only you know what changes you need to make. However, coaching encourages you to figure things out for yourself with a view to leaving the past behind and moving towards a more fulfilled future.
What is important to remember is that you set the agenda, not the Coach. This is about your life.
Are there aspects of your life about which you feel you have no choice?
Do you know what is really important to you?
Are you looking over your shoulder all the time at the negative things that happened to you in the past?
Is your happiness something that is going to happen when you achieve this or that or when you retire?
Do you worry a lot about tomorrow, next week or next year?
- Life Coaching is a one-on-one interactive relationship based upon confidentiality and mutual respect where the Coach is a skilled listener hearing all that is said but also that which is unsaid.
- Your Life Coach prompts you to focus on real issues you may be having and encourages understanding and self awareness.
- Life Coaching is an ongoing process based upon open communication and it is a means of exploring choices and gaining new perspectives in a safe environment.
The reasons for life coaching are the ones bouncing around in your head at this very moment. The question though now, is:- “are you ready for the rewards that come with taking the game of life to the next level?”
Life Coaching is about choosing your goals and taking the necessary route to achieving them.
