What Happened to Me?
Have you heard yourself saying any of these things?
- Doc says I have to _______ (quit smoking, quit drinking, lose weight, exercise, lower my blood sugar). I don’t know what to do!
- Lots of my relatives have died young. How do I prevent this?
- Paleo diets, gluten, cavemen diets….Whaaat?
- I’m a salesperson! How am I supposed to fit in all this healthy lifestyle stuff?
- I am so frustrated with my autoimmune disorder symptoms! Help!
- I’m always stressed and I don’t seem to have time to take care of me.
- I hate being tied to my phone/email/social media, but I need it.
- I have lost that same 10-20 pounds over and over. Why can’t I keep it off?
- I hurt. Guess that’s just part of getting older.
- I’m not happy in my job anymore but I’m comfortable, and I’m scared to make a move.
- I’m so hard on myself. I’m successful and basically I’m happy, but I beat myself up all the time. I wish I didn’t do that.
- Not eat out? Prepare all of my own food? You gotta be kidding me.
If any of this sounds familiar, you might benefit from a conversation with a health coach. A health coach is an expert in fostering behavior change. When you work with a health coach, you’re working in collaboration with a partner who will meet you where you are. You set the agenda at all times. In this relationship, you’re able to explore facets of your life, health, and well-being that you would like to change. You might be thinking about a change, be ready for a change, or want to explore ways to build on past efforts. The thing is, most of us know WHAT we need to do, but most of us don’t do it. If all we needed was the information, we would Google it and “fix” ourselves, right?
A coach will help you understand and appreciate your values, strengths, and motivations, and how to use them to move toward the goals you have for yourself. We can be masters of getting in our own way, and a coach will be open and honest with you by offering new insights, asking powerful questions, giving direct feedback and information if you would like, to help you become the person you want to be! Please get in touch if you’d like a free 30-minute consultation to see if health coaching is right for you.
