Personal Life Coaching is a terrific way to knock 20 years off your learning curve as a human being. Most of us grow up learning a variety of things about about life, mostly about the external world, but not much about our own depth, how our emotional fears affect our choices in life or how to truly be ourselves. We learn to react out of fear rather than to make clear decisions for the benefit of our higher good. Rarely are we taught about our own personal growth and development, be it emotional, mental or even spiritual. But these are vital parts of our lives and we can enjoy ourselves and all life has to offer even more when we go inside ourselves and dig a little bit now and again. Personal Life Coaching can help you learn how you tick: what your preferences are in life, what is truly most important to you and how to finally let go of the things that hold you back. It teaches you forgiveness for yourself and for others. It puts you in charge of you. You begin to learn things like how to hold yourself accountable, how to make and complete small steps, and how to just be in the journey. As a Personal Life Coach, I've found that clients are most resistant to just being on the journey. They have their goals in mind, but get frustrated when the road takes a sudden turn. They are so caught up in their expectations of what should happen as a result of their actions, that they've forgotten the power of just taking actions in service of their intention and simply seeing what happens. After all, we're in charge of what we do, but not what comes of it. Here's what typically happens: a client will come to me with a goal and by the time we've had 10 sessions, we end up working on an entirely different goal. For instance, clients who hire me for clarity in their relationships can sometimes end up healing issues at work instead and vice versa. I had a client who wanted to start dating and we ended up healing her relationship with her mother! Be open to wherever the journey takes you. Be open to the fact that no matter what happens, you are experiencing a lot of personal growth. There is no limit to what a Personal Life Coach can help you with. In addition to the usual weight loss goals or dating goals, I've had clients want help in learning to love themselves, in learning to embrace where they are in life and even in discovering how to make the most of their time at home after major surgery. Most of my sessions are simply about whatever is going on in the client's mind and heart that day. Certainly they hire me to help with with a specific life goal, and we always reach a destination they are satisfied with, but the every day issues that creep up and need sorting always serve the higher goal in the end. Remember the client who was dealing with her mom? Once she let go of her anger towards her mom, she opened her heart up more and learned to love herself and her mother and found herself much more comfortable in being open to love in general. Dating became much easier for her! My favorite result of Personal Life Coaching is the client being able to listen to their own heart, to
their own instincts and learning to act on them. Most people are raised to believe that what the majority thinks or feels is right; we take the advice other people give us; we do what we think will make other people happy. This is a recipe for a slow emotional death. Not one you can feel immediately, but one that erodes your confidence and self respect. Eventually you end up resentful, confused and scared. Resentful at the people who lead you astray, confused about what to do or think and scared to listen to your own internal guide and act from that place for fear people will judge you. When you work with a coach, they ask you questions about what you want, think or feel. Rarely will a personal life coach tell you what to do. Instead, they ask you to find your own answers. They know you have your own answers, whether you believe it at first or not! They train you to listen to your own voice. It's amazing the things you can find out about yourself when you listen and are asked the right questions! It's true there is no owner's manual for life; if there was, we'd each have a different version of it. Working with a Personal Life Coach can help you discover what your manual contains. Most of all Personal Life Coaching teaches you the TOOLS you need to master your life. My job as a coach is to work myself out of a job! You'll know you've been coached right when, at the end of your coaching journey, you feel confident in your abilities to handle whatever life gives you with grace and respect. In the end, it's always up to you to do the work. A Personal Life Coach is an invaluable sounding board, visionary and someone who can offer clarify in your life. We in the Coaching world like to think of personal coaching as "holding the client's higher-self until they can claim it for themselves."
