Life Coaching And NLP – Is It For Me?
All around the world, life coaching and NLP training are becoming increasingly popular. And with their increased popularity, many are starting to awaken to the importance of having a life coach. Even with that, a common question that comes up is: “is this right for me?”
This article only aims to assist you with the thought process. But keep in mind that you make the decision… Not anyone else..
To start with, you need to assess your life as it is now.. To do that, grab a pen and a paper and write down your ‘Values’. Values are the things that are most important to you and they could be anything you choose them to be. For example, we chose, fun, career, adventure, finances. Then nex to each value write down the number that resembles your current satisfaction, 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest. Now imagine these numbers in a chart. If the chart ends up with equivalent columns, good for you.. If not, do this. Consider the value that’s most important to you and ask yourself:
“continuing like this, how is my life three months from now? One year from now? 3 years in the future?”
Take a moment and consider each question separately and thoroughly. Really live the experience of being there in the future three months, a year and three years from now when nothing has changed yet. Notice what you see, hear, feel, smell, taste, say to yourself, where you’re at, who you’re with, what you’re doing. If you’re not happy with it, now is the time to change..
This is where life coaching can provide immense assistance, but only if one crucial condition is satisfied. We’ll talk about this in a minute.. A proficient life coach will be able to provide you with the tools that will give you an accurate snap shot of where your life is right now and why. At this point, you’ll know what you desire and where you’re heading.. An effective life coach will help figure that out with precision and conciseness. Following that, a determined life coach will get you to discover the resources, solutions and all that you need to get there. And finally, your life coach will hold you accountable to taking all the steps that will lead you to accomplis what you want.
But as we’ve already mentioned, one important condition needs to be satisfied.. And that is, how committed you are to change.. To attain what your truly desire and go through the change you want, you must be committed to taking action.. To help you along the way, your life coach will then provide you with accountability, motivation and clarity..
