Do You Need A Life Coach For Personal Development?

2022-02-16 ~ adminlife

There comes a point in everyone’s life where we are stuck. Our lives need a serious makeover. Some define it as “being in a rut” or “caught in a funk”. Some don’t even bother to put a voice behind it, just hoping it will go away. The lucky ones find a path to shore, while many of us are still treading in deep waters. So how do you know when to call for help?

The first indication you might need help is if your life is not producing the desired outcomes you want. There are signs all around you telling you something is wrong. Usually it begins with your inner monologue. Humans have an uncanny ability to create thought patterns which are self-defeating. When things are not going well in our external environment, it is turned internally as a repetitive voice for failure. These thoughts become validated when something else goes wrong. At some point in the pattern, giving up hope seems a viable option. This is when you call for a little help. When you can recognize you can’t do it alone.

A life coach restores hope with learning tools and resources you may have never considered. The defining ability a life coach offers for personal development is an optimal support system. Having someone to guide you back into the right lane can be a saving grace in your life.

To help me to better plan this blog and other material, I invite you to take a quick 1-question survey by clicking on the photo below.

Another reason to have a life coach is help you do a self-inventory. A life coach can sit down with you and identify problem areas in your life. They have the professional qualifications to assist in developing a realistic plan for your personal development. It is with encouragement and a total dissection of every part of your world a life coach makes impact.

Over time our behaviours become learned and some behaviours need to be unlearned. Especially behaviours which have scooted our lives into wrong directions. Sometimes we are not aware of the self-defeating behaviours which hinder our personal growth. A life coach knows techniques for positive reinforcement in learned processes. They help you with a self-assessment and follow up with a self-help plan. Every life coach has different approaches to their instructions. Some life coaches focus on certain areas, such as business coaching or financial plans. There are others who help you to find your life purpose or spiritual destiny.

It is okay to reach out for help when you find yourself lost in the tides. The first step is acknowledging the need. The second step you must take is to find a life coach who is applicable to your individual situation. You must keep seeking avenues for personal development. Your mind and your life patterns should always be renewed. Learning new ways of doing things, or new ways to think about yourself is essential for personal growth. A life coach can throw you a lifeline. Better yet, a life coach can restore a vital part of yourself you forgot all about through your strife: a vision for your life.

Why you should consider using a life coach

2020-11-06 ~ adminlife

While many people may be hesitant to go to a life coach because of a misconception that it is the same as getting therapy, which has a negative stigma in many societies, a life coach guides you to achieving your goals.

Using a life coach can be very effective. The International Coaching Federation has conducted a study which found that 99% of the people that were interviewed, reported that they had a rewarding experience by working with a life coach, and 96% said they would do it again. Another 65% said that their performance at work improved and 80% said that their self-confidence had improved.

So how can working with a life coach help you?

Many people report that coaching had a positive impact on their career as well as their lives. They saw improvement in:

establishing their goal and taking action
becoming more self-reliant
they saw their job satisfaction grow
they took on more responsibility for their actions
the worked easily with others.

You can figure out what you want to do with your life by yourself, but working with a life coach gives you the support that can aid you to get where you want to go without wasting time and money.

Here are some signs that you should consider working with a life coach.

You feel lost – if you are feeling lost and confused, a life coach can help you to find your way to your new life.

You are doubting yourself – a life coach can help you find clarity in this confusing world. You may know deep inside of you what you want but you are confused in how to make those goals happen. A life coach can help you to realize your goals.

Your path to your vision is not clear – you may have a goal or vision but you do not know how to achieve it. A life coach will guide you through the steps to create your plan of action to get you where you want to be. Sometimes all you need is organization and clarity.

You don’t always follow through with your requirements to achieve your goals – a life coach keeps you accountable with your obligations and keeps you motivated to reach your goals.

You tend to procrastinate – this can tie into the above reason on following through. If you want to achieve your goals you need discipline and you need to take action. A life coach can help you to make the changes to your behaviour and break the procrastination habit.

You get stressed easily – without any support you become frustrated and you waste a lot of energy when trying to reach your goals. A life coach can help you to relax and also give you a clear path to your goals.

You lack self-confidence – a life coach can help you to develop and maintain your self-confidence. A life coach can make your life better and your dreams and goals to come true.

It may be time to hire a life coach if any of the above reasons apply to you and your life. Successful people have used and continue to use life coaches. When you have a life coach to lean on and support you, you will get to where you want to be more quickly and efficiently.

How To Begin A Personal Development Plan

2018-09-20 ~ adminlife

Recreate your life with a personal development plan. Devising a solid map to improving your life requires taking an honest look at your life. If you wish to re-invent yourself, each area of your life must be dissected. Knowing what it is you wish to change is how to begin the process. You must have a focus for learning a new set of behaviors. Think about where you are now and where you see yourself upon completing a goal. A goal is like a finish line, you run forward for the accomplishment. You aim for the prize.

Setting goals is top priority in a personal development plan. It requires a specific and clear intention followed by action. Once you have established your goal, it should be followed with consistent behaviors which are conducive to reaching that goal. How do you learn new behaviors? By educating yourself. Seeking knowledge on your specific area of focus is crucial for replacing old behaviors or habits with new ones. Plenty of resources exist today for self-help. On any level, you can find information to teach you how to identify problem areas in your life. If in the process you find yourself overwhelmed, frustrated or just plain stuck, consider using a life coach.

Life coaches are a wonderful resource for success with a personal development plan. They can provide a strong support system. They have knowledge of self-improvement tools and skills to teach them to you. A life coach will give you positive feedback and encourage you to persevere. Not everyone can do it alone, that is why life coaches exist. There is a lot to be said about someone cheering you on as go for it. They can help monitor your successes and setbacks.

Whether or not you choose to use a life coach or go it alone, be sure to zero in on your strengths. It is easy to fall prey to loss of confidence from not focusing on strengths. Learn new skills to complement your strengths and confidence. It is amazing how learning affects over-all well being.

When you create your personal development plan, realize magic doesn’t happen overnight. It is becoming conscious of your world and how you operate within it. Daily you must make choices that benefit your goals. By doing so, eventually the prize does appear. You must also realize that personal development is a life choice. Some people appear content to meander in their world, oblivious to needed changes. However, life is meant for change. If you do the same things over and over, you will get the same results. Self improvement in life settings and circumstances should always be considered relevant and necessary.

You can recreate your life with a good personal development plan. Self-assessment of problem areas of your life is the first step. Set realistic goals. Choose actions and behaviors which benefit the goals. Maintain a positive support system. And most of all, applaud yourself for wanting something different for your life.

To your success

Has 2017 met all of your expectations?

Did you achieve everything that you said you would at the beginning of the year?

Are you going to make resolutions again this year that you know will be unfulfilled at the end of 2018?

If your year was not everything that you expected, don’t be too hard on yourself. This is a very common situation for many many people. They make all of these really good resolutions in the spirit of the moment and that is the problem. There is no commitment to achieving them, so by February they are forgotten.

You need to understand why you are making the commitments to change.

What do you want to do?

Do you want to lose weight by a certain date for your school reunion?
Do you want to quit smoking because you have a baby coming soon and you want a healthy home environment?
Do you want to save money because you want to take your spouse on a great anniversary vacation to an exotic location?
Are you just tired of not moving your life forward to the new, great life that you know you deserve and that you desire?
Do you want a promotion at work but you are not confident that you possess the necessary skills and personality to achieve it?

These are all great goals and they may be part of your year’s desires if they fit into your life plan.

But, how do you achieve them when you have had so many disappointment in the past?

The disappointments are caused by you not truly believing in yourself and not following through in your plans.

Limiting beliefs holding you back

You can believe in yourself, but many people find it difficult to do because they have to first remove those limiting beliefs that are holding them back.

Ones that say:

You will always be overweight so why even try to lose weight?
You have smoked for years, what makes you think that you can quit, besides you like smoking?
Saving money is difficult and I have never been able to save, I like to buy new things all the time.
Why even try to get promoted, it just means more work for me and I don’t need the stress.

These beliefs need to be removed before you can move forward to the new exciting, vibrant you.

So how do you remove these limiting beliefs and make the transitions and ultimate transformation in yoiur life?

Why coaching helps

You need to talk to someone who can guide you through your past to help you find the source of these beliefs and then can assist you in replacing them with new uplifting beliefs that move you towards your goals.

Confidence and Motivation can help you with removing your limits and then setting and achieving your 2018 goals then assisting you to achieve them.
