Thinking of changing jobs? Starting a
family? Losing weight?
Change is pretty much the only
constant in life, and yet how many of us prepare for it with any
sense of structure or due process?
Enter the Life Coach - someone who
can help us to somehow make sense of the enormous confusion in
modern day life; someone who can bring a sense of order to the
cacophony of thoughts, people and events that constantly compete for
our attention and drown out our desires with "should's" and
"ought's".
Neither doctor nor counsellor,
personal trainer nor guru, a Life Coach is an ally who will help you
identify your own life goals and stick to them. And we are likely to
hear a good deal more about this phenomenon - already well
established in America - over the next few years.
The Life Coach is fast replacing the
psychotherapist as the "must have" for the 21st century celebrity,
and unlike the psychotherapist, they won't ask you about your
childhood, or your relationship with your mother. Instead they will
focus purely on results. They will help you to focus, with laser
precision, on what it is that you want from your life, and then they
will ruthlessly challenge your thinking process to uncover the
blocks that are stopping your desires from becoming reality. |
The downside of all this is that a
Life Coach doesn't come cheap - you can expect to pay anything
upwards of £50 for a 40 minute telephone coaching session, and much
much more if it's in person.
The good news however, is that you
don't actually need someone else in order to experience the Life
Coaching process... The very tools and techniques used by the Life
Coach can be learned and applied in isolation. This is called "Self
Coaching".
Becoming your own Life Coach is
simply a matter of understanding the framework within which coaching
takes place and applying that framework to your own thinking
process. It is about understanding the way that your mind
automatically works most of the time, and consciously modifying the
thinking process to get better quality results in your life.
The basic, underlying premise of Life
Coaching is that you are already a perfect being; you already have
within you all the resources and all the answers to become anything
you truly desire in life. The role of Life Coaching is simply to
find and unlock the unlimited potential within you.
By learning just a few simple,
fundamental principles of Life Coaching and applying them on a
consistent basis in your life, you can create the life that
previously you only dreamed of.
With Life Coaching it's never too
late; you're never too old, too young, too anything in fact. It
levels the playing field and it gives everyone their birthright -
the chance to become everything they are capable of becoming.
Life Coaching is here to stay - you
should give it a try sometime! |
