Life Coaching, What Is It?

I think of coaching as a key to unlocking your full potential while creating different results in your life.

Do you have the thoughts of feeling stuck, not making progress toward your goals, not living up to your full potential, in a constant state of being overwhelmed or unsure? These are just a few of the reasons why people hire a life coach.

Life coaching is a powerful tool that can help you create different results in your life.

Here are some ways life coaching can help you:

1. Gain clarity on your goals — One of the first steps in creating different results in your life is to gain clarity on what you want to achieve. A life coach can help you identify your goals and develop a plan to achieve them.
2. Identify limiting beliefs — The biggest obstacle to achieving your goals is often self-limiting beliefs. A life coach can help you identify these beliefs and develop strategies to overcome them.
3. Develop a plan of action — Once you have clarity on your goals and have identified the obstacles that are holding you back, a life coach can help you develop a plan of action to achieve your goals.
4. Stay accountable — One of the key benefits of working with a life coach is the accountability they provide. A coach can help you stay on track and make progress toward your goals, even when you encounter obstacles or setbacks, such as this thing called life.
5. Celebrate your successes — Finally, a life coach can help you celebrate your successes along the way. By acknowledging your process and celebrating your achievements, you can stay motivated and continue to make progress toward your goals.

The “I don’t know syndrome” is one of the biggest challenges many of my clients present to me. We all have it to varying degrees throughout our days depending on what we are thinking. Our thoughts are designed to keep us safe. Our brains love and thrive on poisoning us with confusing thoughts, so we feel like we are incapable of making a decision. When you hear yourself say “I don’t know,” immediately ask yourself, “what do I know?” Just the smallest shift in perspective empowers you and removes some of your self-limiting thoughts. Life coaching helps you to see things from a different perspective. This shift will elevate you and your life. Use this simple tool next time you face uncertainty.

Coaching can provide you with tools to help you thrive and grow, but it is not a magic bullet. It requires effort and commitment on the part of the client, and it may take time to see results. However, for those who are willing to put in the work, coaching can be transformative. You get to decide how you want your life to be. Own that empowerment energy throughout your days.
