Is Getting A Health And Wellness Coach Right For You?
It’s been weeks since lockdown restrictions have eased, but the virus rumbles on and life and our old routines still seem a distant memory. Everyone has handled the various lockdowns differently, but it's fair to say a large proportion of people are currently in a less positive state, both mentally and physically than when the pandemic began.
Uncertainty remains high and as a direct consequence, motivation remains low.
Let's take a peek at how a health and wellness coach can help you get back on track.
Working with a health and wellness coach
It is now widely accepted that physical and mental health are inextricably linked and that both need to be in tune for you to be able to look and feel your best.
Having worked with many good Personal Trainers over the years, I fully appreciated the value they can bring and the positive work they do, but unless the mind is also onboard you are fighting a fitness battle that you will ultimately lose.
As well as helping with specific fitness goals, working with a coach can improve many other areas of your life that contribute directly and indirectly to your overall health and happiness.
What is a health and wellness coach?
A wellness coach supports clients in all their health and wellness goals. Whether you want to lose weight, give up smoking, improve your energy levels or better manage stress, a wellness coach can provide the support and the focus to make sure you get to where you want to be.
Just some of the areas a coach could help you are:
Improving Routines
Establishing where you currently are and why your routine isn't working for you anymore is the first logical step.
We will then discuss the options and build a realistic and sustainable plan for you to move forward.
The old cliche of “Rome wasn't built in a day” is extremely appropriate here as we tend to overestimate our ability in the short term and underestimate what we are capable of over a longer period.
Stick with a routine
Once we have established your new exercise routine or worked out a schedule for you to build your new business, the health and wellness coach will provide support and accountability to make sure you stick with it.
The ultimate aim is to take you from conscious incompetence to unconscious competence, where you are habituality completing your actions without thinking about them.
Improvement is Continuous
As we work together, it is very common for problems to occur, situations to change and goalposts to move.
By working with a coach, you will ensure that obstacles are speed bumps and not mountains, lessons are learned and plans are adapted accordingly.
The mere fact that the goal isn't what you thought it was, is a clear indication that the coaching process is working perfectly.
Health and wellness coach
Almost everyone has an idea of what they want their life to look like.
Maybe a successful writer, a strong athlete, or a stay-at-home parent, but then life gets in the way and makes achieving our aims a whole lot harder and this is where a health and wellness coach comes in.
Just like sports coaches, a health and wellness coach pushes their clients to lay out goals and find satisfaction in achieving them. They help them find the right motivation and equip them with the right tools to get their physical, mental, and emotional goals in check.
Keep going, you'll get there!
Whatever our goals are, they are personal to us and nothing to do with anyone else. In a world of social media bombardment, it is very easy to look at other people and think how great they look or what a good time they are having, but are they really?
So stop comparing yourself to Premier League footballers, buff cross fitters on Instagram and start up CEOs that got their first million at 23 and concentrate on you.
This is a competition, but it's a competition with yourself and you can and will win.
