You may be missing out on this title. You'll be surprised, too, because an experienced life coach is telling me I can do it all myself? First, to be clear, that's not what I'm saying. Of course, as someone who has been coaching NYC clients' lives for years, I can say with confidence that life coaches can be invaluable for several reasons. However, I also honestly believe that we, like people, have more power than we think. While it may be helpful for you to meet a life coach to deepen your goals and aspirations, there are some things you can do first to become a life coach.
1. Ask yourself, "What do I want?"
It's easy for us to spend our days on autopilot. There's work, friends, family, hobbies, jobs, and more to share in one day. Most of us have a laid back attitude when it comes to painting a picture of ourselves. However, if you live the life of autopilot, you will never be the best version of yourself. Take a moment and ask yourself, "What do I want out of life?" Sounds like a daunting task, but it is essential. You may even find answers you didn't even know about! By asking these tough questions, you can direct your attention and adjust your actions accordingly.
2. Write down your goals.
Did you know that only 3% of adults write their goals? Or are people who physically write their goals more successful? Dr Gail Mathews, a professor of psychology at Dominican University, conducted a study with 267 people. These people came from all over the world and had different professions. But one thing that stood out in this study: those who wrote down their goals and dreams regularly were 42% more likely to achieve those goals and objectives. Imagine how much you can achieve in your life by taking a few moments out of your day and writing down your goals.
3. Use a calendar
Being a life coach requires knowledge and discipline. This is true if you are training to be your life coach. A calendar is a great tool to help you stay organized, disciplined, and clear-minded. By writing down essential deadlines, events and celebrations, you can train your brain to manage your time better.
6. Be aware of how you talk to yourself.
Internal dialogue is critical. Too often, we don't realize how much our thoughts can affect us. Unfortunately, when we are left alone with our thoughts, we rarely get along well with our good things. We are our own worst critics. But did you know that science has found a link between internal dialogue and self-image? When we kill ourselves verbally, we do great harm. So listen to your inner dialogue and praise yourself instead of your negative thoughts.
5. Find a support group
There are support groups for many things: mental health, addiction, grief, overeating, etc. However, some people take advantage of this beautiful resource. Being part of a support group can help you express your feelings to people who understand what you are doing. Studies show that support groups can improve social skills, reduce stress, and increase self-love and understanding. Why wouldn't you want all this?
Through years of coaching the lives of NYC clients, I have helped hundreds of people gain clarity about their lives and achieve goals beyond their dreams. I would love to help you too! Take the above five steps to keep in touch with yourself. Although I can work with anyone, it's always helpful as a New York City life coach to get in touch with a client who has started some of the Foundation's work. If you're looking for a life coach based in NYC, don't hesitate to contact me.
