The Top 5 Challenges.....

 

The Top 5 Challenges people face when trying to improve their health (or any area of life!)

 

Since becoming a Coach, the more I talk to friends, clients and groups of people, the more I come to realize that we are all the same in many ways. We are all experiencing many of the same challenges even though they may manifest themselves in different ways.

 

I have noticed 5 common challenges that we all face when trying to improve our health or any area of our lives. I’ve listed them here along with the ways that I can help you overcome them.

 

1.     1. We are on information overload. 

We have a vast amount of information literally at our fingertips these days! Ever consult “Dr. Google” when a new symptom appears? (me too!) Ever google “how to” do something and find 10,321 different ways to do it? (me too!) The crazy thing is that often the information we find is conflicting, which only gives us more and more confusion. Should I do this or that? Is that true or false? With this help me or harm me? Who needs all of that? (me either!) 

 

As a Coach, my job is to curate information for you. Let me do the information gathering for you and then together we can find what resonates with YOU to form a plan of action to help you reach your goals. 

 

2.     2. We start off with so much motivation but it doesn’t last quite as long as we hoped.                             

We think, “this time it will be different!” or “I can do this!” but then our usual habits and patterns emerge once again and we’re right back where we started from, or worse yet even further from the starting line. This frustrating phenomenon is normal! It happens to the best of us. 

 

As your Coach, I will help you find your BIG motivating factors that will set you up for success. Together, we dig deep to find the motivation that will keep you trucking right along towards your goals.

 

3.     3. We start with so much motivation that we try to make too many changes at once                 and become easily overwhelmed. 

As humans, when we become overwhelmed, we tend to stop dead in our tracks and become stuck with no hope of moving forward. Oftentimes we become so stuck that we often move even further backwards which only serves to bring us further into a downward spiral of negativity and frustration.

 

My job as your Coach is to help you stay out of overwhelm. Together, we take small steps forward which serves to build confidence and propels you towards your goals.

 

4.     4. We focus only on the tangibles such diet and exercise and ignore everything else that might be going on (often unconsciously) in our lives. 

We’ve all heard it: “eat less, move more”. We want to believe that that mentality will lead to health and happiness but it might only lead to disappointment further on down the road. 

 

As your Coach, I will work with you to explore your mindset, your self-compassion, how you talk to yourself and so much more. These intangibles just might be the missing puzzle pieces on your quest towards creating the health and life of your dreams!

 

5.     5. We often lack the support and accountability that are instrumental to our success.  

Going it alone is the way many of us like to proceed (I know, that was me!). We think “I can do it by myself!” (the toddler mentality!) We often are either afraid, ashamed or too proud to ask for help. In my experience, we often don’t know we even need help or realize how beneficial it is to have it. Personally, I have invested in coaches to help me both on my personal and business journeys and never regretted it in the least.

 

As a Coach, my clients often tell me that the support and accountability that I provide is invaluable. We might have the greatest support group on the planet with our friends and family, but few of our loved ones will sit with us for an hour or more at a time and listen with complete compassion and non-judgment. That is where a Coach comes in. I am your biggest cheerleader, greatest support system and will hold the space for you to feel safe and not judged.
