Why Should You Get a Coach?

~ adminlife

life coach

What’s easier: Working toward your goals alone through trial and error, or seeking the guidance and direction of someone who’s been there and done that?

The answer is obvious. When you seek the advice of someone who has been through it all before, you can then avoid the same mistakes and focus your time and energy on what truly works. That’s the power of a life coach.

Imagine yourself with a set plan and just the right advice. Coaching may shave years off the time it would have taken you to reach your goals otherwise!

Here are the top 7 reasons why you need a life coach:

  1. Builds confidence. You know you’re under the guidance of someone successful and that your goals are attainable.
  2. Guided plan. Sure, you can draft up a plan by yourself, but when you write out your plans with the help of a coach, you know you’re getting a realistic plan that works! Your coach will know shortcuts and can help you stay accountable as well.
  3. Coaches can help you cope with current conflicts and tensions in your life. They can also give you tips on how to avoid similar situations in the future.
  4. Personal attention. Coaching allows you to get one on one attention so you can be personally guided along your chosen path. If you run into struggles, your coach will be there to provide much needed support and suggestions.
  5. Dealing with challenges. Things will not always go according to plan. When you hit a snag, your coach can help you overcome the challenge and steer you back into the correct direction. You can feel comfortable knowing that you’re receiving expert guidance.
  6. You can decide how you’d like to use your coach. Do you want help with short-term goals or long-term goals? Perhaps you’d like both.
  7. Your coach likely has a great deal of enthusiasm for their work, which will naturally rub off on you. Sometimes it may be difficult to keep up your drive, but thankfully, inspiration is one of the main reasons why coaches exist.

Finding a Coach That’s Right for You

There are a few tips you should keep in mind when searching for a coach that will mesh well with your personal style. The first concern is that your coach should have certain credentials and experience. It depends on the field you’re in, but ensure you do your homework when it comes to checking up on your coach.

See if you can find testimonials and reviews about potential coaches. Ask around and try to talk to someone else who has been coached by this person. After all, a good referral is always more trusted!

Communicate with your potential coach and see what his or her communication style is like. Ask yourself whether or not you think you’d get along well with this person. Some people might think the coach is fabulous, but if you don’t think you’ll personally communicate well, then it may not be a good fit for you.  

Make sure your coaching sessions will be conducted in a format that you find comfortable. Ask yourself whether you’re the type of person that needs to meet face to face. Nowadays with technology we can communicate in many different ways. Coaching sessions can take place over the phone, email, video conferencing, or in-person.

In the end you should be proud of yourself for seeking expert help. Follow these strategies to find a great life coach for you and jump-start your journey into the life you desire.

New habits to keep you motivated

~ adminlife

habits

Your success or failure in life will be determined by your habits. Your habits will dictate a lot about your life. You can for instance, expect to have physical consequences if you eat too much and don’t exercise. You reach your fullest potential when you form good habits.

You can also stay motivated to reach your goals with these good habits you are developing.

If you would like to listen to these types of articles, you can visit my podcasts at podcastThese are short, usually under 5 minutes but they can enable you to listen to confidence and motivation advice and tips while driving or relaxing.

Here are some good habits to develop.

Stay healthy and take care of yourself. When you are sick you know that it is difficult to be productive or even to keep a positive attitude. You must take care of your health. Your energy levels and your productivity are affected when you are overweight. When you develop healthy habits and go to the gym a bit more and modify your meal plan, this can help you to stay motivated longer because you are feeling better about your body. When you have improved health, you are in a win-win situation.

Review your reason why. You have an initial rush of enthusiasm for the project when you initially set the goal. Over time, this enthusiasm is reduced. You need to develop a habit that will let you review your goal to bring your motivation level higher. This could be setting up a monthly review of your goal.

Keep being proactive. You get a dopamine rush when you get the jump on things with the right habit. Your habit can be arriving early or letting you think ahead on a project. Keeping a list of what you need to do in a task will keep you ahead of the game and on task.

Watch the small stuff. If your goal is large, like losing a lot of weight, you can lose your motivation when it looks like your progress has stalled. By having small goals that you can celebrate, you can build up your motivation. For the weight loss goal, the smaller goals could be eating a little differently or taking the stairs.

Be around motivational people. Choose your company carefully so that this can be an easy habit to build. You could meet with these people regularly to keep you motivated and build up the relationships.

Staying on track to achieve your goals is easier with good habits. Motivation will be an automatic part of your life when you create the habit and do it often enough.

Your dreams come true in the right environment

~ adminlife

dreams

Even though people have dreams and aspirations, not many people actually achieve their goals. You are more likely to achieve your goals when you have a supportive environment and are surrounded by positive influences.

You can create an environment that will help your dreams to come true.

If you would like to listen to these types of articles, you can visit my podcasts atpodcastThese are short, usually under 5 minutes but they can enable you to listen to confidence and motivation advice and tips while driving or relaxing.

Supportive people. It is very challenging to keep yourself motivated to achieve your dreams if you are surrounded by people who keep telling you that you will never achieve them. You need to find people who support and encourage you to be around.

  • Your happiness, health and a longer life are increased when you spend time with like-minded people.

  • When things get tough, you are less likely to give up and will feel more confident when you know that people who believe in you are around.

  • With a supportive group of people it will be easier to achieve your goals by being able to get feedback on your ideas.

  • Keep your space to support you achieving your dreams that is not cluttered and chaotic. When your space is unorganized it is challenging to focus on your goals.

  • Be inspired by your surroundings. It is easier to achieve your dreams when you are in a positive environment.

  • Make your space reflect your goals. Get rid of your snacks if you are trying to lose weight. Create a writing space if you want to write a book.

  • You should feel good in your environment. It is a lot easier to achieve your goals when you are in an environment that aligns with the goals you are trying to achieve

Think positive. Thinking positively is an important part of achieving your dreams. You are much more likely to succeed when you have a belief in your ability and yourself. You need to surround yourself with positive messages and affirmations.

  • Boost your positive mindset with daily positive affirmations. These simple messages can make a big difference in your attitude.

  • Write down and review your goals often. You can stay more focused and motivated when you see your goals written down.

  • Create your vision board. These images, quotes and any other things that inspire you will constantly remind you of your goals and keep you on track.

  • Keep your self-talk positive. Put any negative thoughts into a positive light.

  • Deal with any past trauma. It is essential that any past trauma be dealt with in a healthy manner. You will be held back from success in achieving your dreams if you hold on to any anger, resentment or pain from the past.

  • Get professional help to deal with your emotions and release the past. It is easier to reach your goals when you release any past trauma.

Take care of yourself. To achieve your dreams, you must take care of your physical, mental and emotional health. You have to eat right, exercise and get enough sleep.

  • You also need to have some time for yourself to relax and remove any stress. You have the energy and the focus when you take care of yourself to achieve your goals.

Make your goals realistic. Your goals need to be achievable. You will be setting yourself up to be disappointed if you set your goals too high. Break larger goals into smaller, manageable pieces. Set a realistic timeline to achieve your goals and take the steps necessary to achieve them.

Create your action plan. You have to create a plan of action to achieve your goals once they are set. It may be a challenge to achieve your goals so you need to put the steps you need to take into your timeline. Move closer to your goals by taking action every day.

To achieve your dreams it is essential to create an environment that will support your dreams. Set realistic goals and make sure to take care of yourself. Continue to take action to move you towards your goals while in your positive space. Doing these things will get you closer to achieving your dreams.

Successful People Characteristics

~ adminlife

successful people

Typically, people associate success with money, power and fame. If you have all of these things you could still be unsuccessful. If you do not have wealth, power and fame, people could still consider you as being successful.

A person may have a very solid business and career, which gives him a great job and be well-respected by his coworkers but still not be in the top 10% of successful money earners. All of this does not mean that the person is not successful.

There are many ways that a person can achieve success in their lives. They don’t have to have a high income or a prestigious job.

If you would like to listen to these types of articles, you can visit my podcasts atpodcastThese are short, usually under 5 minutes but they can enable you to listen to confidence and motivation advice and tips while driving or relaxing.

Here are some personal success traits to consider.

Forgiveness is important to successful people. A truly successful person knows that forgiveness is not just something they should do. For them forgiveness is natural. If they are offended by someone, they know that to keep moving forward, they know that forgiveness will help them.

  • They will forgive the offender and continue to move forward with their lives rather than hold a grudge or let the offence affect them negatively.

  • By forgiving others, they no longer have many negative emotions which enables them to focus on getting closer to their goals which makes them more successful.

They understand when they need to stay with or leave an endeavour. They know when to continue doing what they are doing or when to try something new.

  • A successful person stays with the projects that they are passionate about. They don’t become frustrated or feel burned out due to boredom. They move on when they no longer enjoy what they are doing.

  • They will determine which projects to continue and which ones to abandon using their intuition and gut instinct.

  • This method is usually correct because of their experience in recognizing when the work they are doing is no longer worthwhile for them to continue.

Failure is not feared, it is welcomed. Failure is understood not to be harmful by a successful person. Failure of giving up is the only type of failure to be avoided. They understand that failure means that they are not doing something right. It helps them to continue to learn and to grow.

  • They figure out what is needed to improve and continue with their progress when they experience loss.

  • Being an overnight success is impossible. It requires hard work, patience and time to become successful.

Their habits help them to succeed. Living a balanced life of eating nutritious food, exercise and sleep is essential. A successful person has healthy habits that help them to keep their health and vitality.

  • The work they are doing now is necessary to be successful later. They understand that it isn’t necessary to overwork and burn out in the drive to succeed.

While having money and power is very helpful, they aren’t necessary to achieve success. You don’t have to make a lot of money or be famous to be successful.

Having good habits and positive behaviours are the key to success. Doing this, whether you are rich or poor and you will achieve success.

Aspirations – What Are They?

~ adminlife

Do you have a goal you want to achieve in your future? If you have hopes and dreams, you have aspirations. You have a sense of purpose and direction for living with these big picture goals. But you need to know, having goals and having aspirations are not the same thing.

If you would like to listen to these types of articles, you can visit my podcasts atpodcastThese are short, usually under 5 minutes but they can enable you to listen to confidence and motivation advice and tips while driving or relaxing.

Aspirations are more long-term and geared to the future, while goals are actions you need to take to get you to your destination. Look at it as looking back on your career and knowing that you were able to meet your goals, that is an aspiration. When you get a new position in six months, that is a goal. They have different, separate functions but they do work together.

Aspirations Breakdown

You will have more meaning and focus in your life when you have aspirations. There are various types of aspirations you start to look for when you start to dream about your future. People’s aspirations give them a different outlook on their lives. Some, like being a good provider are simple while others aim to be a lot higher like becoming rich and famous.

We try for two types of aspirations – intrinsic and extrinsic. They have some common themes that are indicators of s sense of purpose in our lives. The breakdown here will help you to understand which of the two types that you tend to focus on.

Intrinsic : these aspirations will satisfy your well-being. These are usually centred around relationships, your contributing to your community, health and your personal growth. An example of a social aspiration would be to make friends and build your relationships and volunteer. There are also family aspirations and skill aspirations where you develop a new skill.

Extrinsic: These types of aspirations are for achieving an instrumental outcome in your life. An extrinsic aspiration would be that you are physically attractive, wealthy or being popular. A financial aspiration when you were growing up would be to have a million dollars. If you wanted to be popular when in high school, you had popularity aspirations.

Your career aspirations can be both intrinsic and extrinsic. There are certain things that you want to accomplish like having a certain salary and image. These have parts of personal growth and community contributions mixed together.
