In this blog post I will talk about why I hired a life coach and what I learned. I will share the 6 reasons you might want to hire a life coach.
My friend, life does not have to be this hard! I will share some of the reasons you might want to hire a life coach.
- Life is hard
- Too much to do
- Too many choices
- Not enough time
- Not motivated
When life throws you a curve ball it can feel like all life is falling apart. The routines you had set up to make life easy or at least manageable are all in disarray. This can leave you discouraged and feeling stuck.
Are you feeling stuck?
I was stuck a few years ago. I wanted life to be different, but I didn’t know how to change it. I knew some of the things that I could/should be doing –
- self-care
- going out with friends or
- participating in hobbies
but I just didn’t have the interest or motivation. It just all felt so pointless.
And, I was tired. . . . really tired.
Was life supposed to be this hard?
Then I hired a life coach. Tascha helped me get clear on what I wanted the rest of my life to look like. We talked about the things in my life that I thought “couldn’t” change and I realized that they could change. I took some massive action but in about 2 years, my life was completely different. I was able to step away from the day-to-day management of a business. And throw myself into what I have always wanted to do. The result is this blog and my coaching & speaking business.
A life coach can help you:
1. To help you see what you cannot see
2. To help you find direction
3. To help you reach your potential
4. To keep you focused on what’s important
5. To increase your confidence and motivation
6. To boost your overall well-being
Let’s unpack each of these
To help us see what we cannot see.
Our brains have a filter that allows it to take in everything going on around you. Then sends you the information that is deemed important to you. Neuroscientists call this the Reticular Activating System. It is the part of the brain that takes in all the stimuli that is going on around us. It then filters all the massive information, sending a small amount to the conscious mind. This is important because there is so much going on. If we had to process that overwhelming onslaught of information, our ability to function would be greatly hampered. However, this also means that this system is also creating our perception of reality. Coaches can help us to bring in details we were not considering. Details that got filtered out. This slight change in perception can give us great insight to problems that seem to elude us.
To help us find direction
If you are feeling lost or directionless, you are not alone. Many people drift though life without much of a plan…not really knowing where they are heading. A coach can help us identify what we really want to be doing with our lives. To find our purpose and a way to express that purpose. A coach can then help us to create a plan and overcome the obstacles that will inevitably come up.
To help you reach your potential
It is easy to get bogged down in the minutia of life.
- Were you once passionate about accomplishing your goal but have fallen into a funk? Does it feel like wading through molasses?
- Do you know you are capable of more, but you just don’t seem to be getting there?
This happens to the best of us, and a coach can come alongside and help you get serious about the success you deserve.
To keep you focused on what’s important
Once you have clarity around your purpose in life. And you know what you want to accomplish. Your coach will help you to develop an action plan and help to keep you focused on what is really important.
It is easy to feel overwhelmed by dreams that feel TOO BIG. It is easy in that state of overwhelm to either give up or let mundane distractions keep you stuck. A coach will help you break everything down and get focused on the next important step in the journey.
To increase your confidence and motivation
When you have been struggling by yourself for a while, it is easy to become demotivated. And to even lose confidence in your abilities. The dream can become dim and feel unreachable. A coach can help you get back on the right track and help you stay there. Your confidence and motivation can soar with a few wins leading to momentum towards the goal.
To boost your overall well-being
When working with a coach the main purpose is to put you back in the driver’s seat. To equip you with a roadmap to reach your dreams. You will feel in control of life again. This will make your struggles easier to handle. You will feel happier, supported and more positive about life. You will feel more confident about taking action and pursuing your dreams.
