Life Coaching - Is it for you?

Are you living your dream? If not, why not? If you are not living the life you would ideally choose for yourself, you soon could be! A life coach can help you to unleash your inner drive and make it happen.

Life coaching is not about telling you what to do. It's about showing you the wide range of options you've got, encouraging you to make changes and supporting you in your journey towards fulfilling your dreams.

Life coaching generally takes the form of regular, one-to-one sessions of an hour or so, either face to face or over the telephone. The coach will help you to focus your goals and to devise small steps towards meeting them. The coach will also hold you accountable for your progress.

Life coaching is not counselling or psychotherapy. The latter two are about finding emotional resolution to problems, present or past. Life coaching is about changing your behaviour; there is little analysis and lots of action. Your coach will not spend much time discussing with you how you feel, although he/she will challenge the negative beliefs that are holding you back, in order that you may ditch them and embrace your exciting future.

Have you always dreamed of having your own yacht/travelling the globe/being a business tycoon? Do you want to get in shape/learn Spanish/make new friends? If so, why haven't you done it yet? With the help of a life coach, you can break through your fears, raise your self-esteem and go for it!

Life coaching is not the answer for everybody. If you have experienced trauma and/or had a very unhappy or frightening childhood, life coaching will probably not be of use to you until you have worked through your issues with a psychotherapist. However, if your problems are more in the realms of not being able to get yourself organised, being too busy to think about what you really want out of life or always giving "should" priority over "want to", life coaching can be of limitless value to you.

You can find a life coach to give your life a general shake-up or to specialise in a specific area. You can have coaching to help with your work, coaching to help you land the job you've always wanted, coaching to support you through a big change such as moving house, coaching to inspire and motivate you to make the most of your life - any, all or a mixture of these.

It's not difficult to find yourself a life coach by searching the internet. It doesn't matter if there isn't one in your area, because you can always have your coaching on the telephone. Most coaches will offer a free introductory consultation, during which you can decide whether life coaching is for you and whether you like this coach's style. So you've got nothing to lose - what are you waiting for?
