Finding a life coach to support you on your journey to having a healthier, happier life in mind, body, and spirit can spell the difference between success and failure, ease and struggle.
No athlete would ever expect to get to the top of their game and stay there without a coach. Top business people happily pay astronomical sums to mentors and coaches to help them pave the way to greater success.
Yet, for some reason, the rest of us rarely give ourselves the same advantage even though statistics prove that going it alone rarely proves successful.
Thankfully, holistic life coaching is now accessible to everyone.
A growing trend is to hire a life coach for everything from wellness to personal growth. Whether your goal is to transform your health, improve relationships, create work-life balance, or navigate life transitions, life coaching offers you personalized support and challenge so you can achieve your goals with greater ease.
Finding a life coach who is right for you may seem daunting. Here are three steps to make your search easier:
Decide what knowledge, specialization, personal qualities, experience, and credentials are important to you in a holistic life coach.Consider:
Now that you have an idea of what you are looking for, it's time to begin finding a life coach.
This is the moment of truth. You found a life coach you love. You are ready to go. Or, you're surprised by how, all of a sudden, you're feeling very scared and talking yourself out of it. Do not be surprised if this happens, it is perfectly normal.
There's a simple reason for this. Your brain does not like change. It does not see new situations as safe, and it is sending you fear messages. And that's okay.
Not only are you committing to a new relationship with this coach, but you are also really taking the step to play big and commit to your goals and dreams.
That commitment requires that you change, grow, invest time and financial resources in yourself, and take action on your own behalf. You will definitely stretch outside your comfort zone.
And whether we want to admit it to ourselves or not, we like our comfort zones. They feel safe. So, if the thought of finding a life coach and really committing to change in this big way, maybe for the first time in your life, feels a bit too scary, that's okay. Don't judge yourself for that.
Let me share this from my own experience. I've discovered that often what appears as pure fear - you know, the butterflies, sweaty palms and visual disturbances that precede a big decision-often turn into a feeling of great relief and excitement once I go for it and say, "yes!"
If you find yourself stuck in fear, ask yourself these questions:
Do write down your answers, so you can reread them and get down all your thoughts and concerns. Hopefully, these questions will help you make the best decision for you. They also just had a tiny taste of the type of questions you may be asked in holistic life coaching, and how a coach can help you move forward.
Go for it. You are worth it. Commit to working with this coach for three months. Give it your all. If you have a good coaching relationship and are getting results, stay with this coach. If not, move on. When you and your coach are a good fit and you are both committed to the process at a high level you are likely to be very pleased with your results.
