Life Coach and Life Coaching Articles

I know; you have no idea what I’m referring to in this article’s title, do you? I’m not really trying to be coy, I just couldn’t think of any other way to speak to a learning which I had this week. As so often happens for me, the actual information wasn’t new. But the concrete experience was like none I had ever had before. Let me explain. Obviously, I’ve had an epiphany of sorts over the last week. Something that allowed me to know beyond a shadow of a doubt what was missing before, and what I’m slowly but surely getting enough of now.

Jam-side DownersnnnnLife is often full of jam-side-downers. You know the idea: You sleep-in, you’re running late, you can’t find the car keys, you’re eating breakfast on the run, you drop your toast, and it lands jam-side-down!nnnIn order to take the stress out of jam-side-downers, sometimes it’s necessary to surrender to the situation. Why fight it when you can’t do a thing about it. Why get stressed out when you’re in a jam that is outside your control - traffic

B and I take our first flight by ourselves. He has traveled about four times but every other time, my mom has been with us. Doing it by ourselves... what a scary concept, but as always, we are up for the challenge. The morning we leave, my mom is rushing me. To her credit, we are leaving ten minutes later than she wanted... then it turned into twenty minutes. That's what happens when you have a baby in tow. You never know when you're going to leave on time. With a baby, sometimes late is on time. We are two minutes down the road, when I blurt, "Oh my gosh, I forgot his milk."

The use of office cubicles has been on the rise in recent years, mainly because of the desire of companies to save on space. But limited space is not the only reason why cubicles are popular in almost all workplace today. According to several studies, cubicles give workers more opportunities to mingle and therefore have good relationships with one another. If you are required to work in a cubicle with another worker, there are things you could get worried about. Even an experienced personal coach would agree that these are the types of coworkers you would want to avoid:

Do you know it’s time for a change? Maybe you know its time to start making more money, but you don’t know how. Or you are at a job you know is draining your energy and sucking the life out of you. It’s even possible that there are two great opportunities in front of you, and you just don’t know which one to choose. Many people have a hard time making decisions, and it’s one of the most common topics I work with my clients on.

When asked about the people you admire the most, it is very likely that you adore at least one of those people because they are just so confident about themselves in everything they do. Perhaps you envy them because you find it so hard to build confidence in yourself. Well, do you believe that there really isn’t such a thing as confidence? You cannot acquire confidence per se, but you can certainly develop a confident way of thinking, which then results in confident behavior. What makes a person confident?

“Since 1972, women's overall level of happiness has dropped, both relative to where they were forty years ago, and relative to men.

Suppose you had a computer that every time you ran it told you 1+1=3? What would you do? Most likely you'd try to fix it. Why? Because you know the answer is wrong. 1+1=2. Okay, now suppose I told you that there was nothing wrong with your computer. What would that mean? Well, there must be something wrong with the software you're running. Right? Now, with the knowledge that the software was faulty, anytime you were running it and getting the wrong answer you would know it was the software that was the problem, not you!

As the famous Latin quotation goes, “Veni, vedi, velcro'' -- ''I came, I saw, I stuck around!'' Your personal mission is to succeed, therefore, consistency is vital. The essence of winning is finishing the race. This is equal to life's principle: you cannot accomplish anything without persistence. This can be testified by Heisman trophy winner Herschel Walker who once said, “My God-given talent is my ability to stick with something longer than anyone else.” Here's a bri

The other day I wrote myself a love note. I was feeling a little down and I needed a pick-me-up. It was simple really, and it only took me about 10 minutes. I hardly thought about it either before or after I wrote it. When I shared it with someone a few hours later she just looked at me with a dead-pan serious stare and said "That is the most beautiful piece you have ever written. I'm stunned." I was a little taken aback at the power and plainness of her statement and it inspired me to read it again more slowly. Then I was stunned.

Is perfectionism sabotaging your weight loss or your relationship with food? It might be. Trying to get it "perfect" can actually make emotional eating much worse--not to mention the negative impact it has on self esteem.

To find your passion in life requires that you follow that path. The Universe will present the trail, you need only look for it and follow it. Wherever you are, you will find the forks in the road. One will take you toward your goal. The other will take you back to where you are. nnIn 1965, I found a bread crumb trail that took the form of matchbook cover with the words “become a keypunch operator.” I had had no idea that those simple words would take me on an adventure t

Did you know that you talk to yourself all day long? (Yes, you're likely doing it right now. You can't deny it!) Also, I'm not talking about the all of the mental chatter about the various activities and chores you need to remember and manage throughout the day. Yes, it's also self talk but not the type I'm going to discuss, I'm speaking about the things you say to yourself on a regular basis and more specifically the tone and words used. Think about this: When you make a mistake, how do you react? Do you call yourself derogatory names?

The Universe loves a vacuum. In order to attract something new, we have to create a vacuum, create a space, for the desired something to move into. Like moving the furniture in your home to accommodate the new piano. If you continue to acquire new things in your home without letting go of some of the old stuff, what do you think your home will look like after a while? Stuff piled on top of stuff, no room to maneuver, major dust collecting, and soon you don’t even want to enter that room. The clutter has taken over. Your brain is just like that room.

“What do the simple folk do, to help them escape when they’re blue”, sang the King in the Broadway musical, Camelot. He felt someone had the secret, but he did not. It’s difficult to force yourself to laugh, and annoying if someone else urges you to do so when you don’t feel like it. But developing strategies to bring genuine laughter into your life can be an important part of stress management. Not only do your feelings improve; you health does, too, and your problem-solving abilities take a big step forward.

Emotional eating is a signal that life is out of balance. Emotional eating and overeating happen when we use food to try to help us manage our feelings. The triggers for emotional eating vary–we might eat to cope with loneliness, unhappiness, stress or boredom. Sometimes we eat for comfort or in an attempt to create a pleasant experience, when food really isn't what we crave. Finding other avenues to meet our emotional needs and other ways to shift our moods is one of the most powerful things we can do to take charge of our eating, our weight, and our health.

Before the conference today, I had spoken to the founder about my need to pump. So she was kind enough to find a private one-stall bathroom with an outlet for me. Since the other restrooms in this hotel either had multiple stalls or no outlet, this was the only place I could use in discretion. At break, I take the elevator to floor 2M. When the doors open, two ladies and a gentleman are standing in the facing room. I see the restroom behind them, and one lady says, "The conference is on the second floor... down one." I respond, "I'm using the restroom here."

I had plans for today. It's Sunday, so I'm going to take Blaise to the park. He just loves swinging and propping his foot up in the swing to steady himself. That way, he doesn't have to hold on and can gnaw on his hands instead. I also need to get my blogs done for the week. That's five blog posts. No problem. Blaise will sleep several times throughout the day, so that gives me plenty of time to do them. Great. I have a plan for the day, and I should have time to finish it all.

Do you have “personal” power? I’m not referring to the power that comes from material wealth or the ability to control people and situations. I’m referring to the kind of power that comes from within—the power that is authentic only to you. Women with “personal” power are secure in their own self-confidence and self-esteem. They are at peace with who they are at their core and they encourage others to be more of who they are. Women with “personal” power encourage others to show up in the world exactly as they are. You’ve probably met this woman before.

There I've said it- the "s" word. I sometimes see women cringe when the word comes up in conversation, however if you don't master the art of getting the sale, you may find your business is always up and down with cash flow. I was involved in a sales process recently (I was the buyer) and it was simple and smooth. Below is the sequence of events and six clues to easily get more sales to grow your business:

It isn't easy, but there are some tangible steps you can take to optimize the power of home and reduce the stress in your life. Below are 10 Ways to Maximize the Potential of your Home: - Organize. A messy, unorganized home can prevent you from relaxing, because it looks so disorderly that it stresses you out!

“Your path ahead isn’t the purpose, but rather your gifts within open the doors of your life purpose.” ~Rick Hayes~ Many would assume by glancing at my life path these past nine years would be considered strange, bizarre, and even somewhat mystical. The reply to these assumptions may be not what is expected, and quite possibly shocking!

Has nature ever taught you something? This week nature presented us with a remarkable learning experience.r

Last Sunday I was sitting in on a class we conduct for newcomers at our church. One of our pastors said, “If we don’t change, we aren’t growing, and if we aren’t growing, we are dying”. Isn’t that so true? If you want your life to remain status quo, then your best guarantee is to resist ...

One of the questions I get asked often by women entrepreneurs is, “Joy, once I’ve created a relationship with my ideal client, how do I get them to buy from me?” Great question! Notice how the question was worded: “once I’ve created the relationship…” Smart women know the first step in marketing their business is establishing a feeling of belief and trust with their ideal client.

I was sat in my living room the other day just thinking about all the great things that have happened in my life over the past three or four years and I started to wonder about all the changes that have happened. I got to thinking about how the coaches I have, the friends I have and the people I surround myself with have, in their own way, created changes in my life. The more I thought about this and wondered how they helped me to change, I started to realise what it was. P

Carolyn Myss says that every time you take action to grow, the very next thing to occur is self-sabotage. Every single time! I don’t know about you, but that doesn’t add to my willingness to move forward. Yet moving forward I must, so let’s take this self-sabotage thing on straight away. For me it’s that feeling of being a fraud. Every time I decide to play bigger and put myself out there to serve more, I hear that voice inside say, “I wouldn’t do that, they’re going to find you out!”

I have never been a perfectionist. I drop food on my clothes, leave the house with wet hair, wear makeup only when necessary and buy cheap sunglasses because eventually, I will scratch or break every single pair. When it comes to mothering, I am also imperfect. I get my children to bed too late at times, forget to make the occasional lunch and when it comes to showers; well, let’s just say that an eight-year-old can go a full week without a shampoo and still be presentable.

Negative emotions such as fear, stress, anxiety, guilt, or resentment burn your will power and drain your energy more and faster than anything else in your life. Emotions are labels we put on ourselves to describe a very personal physical experience. They arise from personal judgment, low self-esteem or a lack of trust in your own capabilities.

If you have been hitting constant road blocks on your jou ey to success, it's quite possible that you've been trying to take short-cuts and find an easy way to the top. Like many people, you're probably at the point where you are tired of feeling like a failure and being beat up by life. All you want to do is live a life that has meaning and purpose and that satisfies your need to feel accomplished and successful. But if you lack confidence in yourself, you may have a difficult and painful road ahead of you.

Recently, I was having lunch with a friend who was feeling like her email in-box was being attacked with messages - sound familiar? We've all had this happen before and there may be times when we are the guilty culprit-unconsciously I might add.
