Susan’s Example
Susan was a woman who had the goal of losing weight. When she took her
Readiness for Change Assessment, she found she was not ready to work on her
diet. She felt discouraged because she really wanted to lose weight.
In her coaching session, she was reminded that many aspects of life could
support her weight loss goal. So she decided to focus on another area that she
was more ready to change, which was the area of Exercise. She created a
realistic plan of walking her dog 4 times a week for 15-20 minutes. She found
that she enjoyed being outdoors with her dog and this helped her to reduce her
stress, which had often led to overeating. Another benefit of her walking exercise
is that it increased her metabolism.
She also decided to also take small steps in the area of Play and Creativity. By
spending time enjoying her creative activities, she found her hands were busy
and that she was eating less, because she was not sitting in front of the
television mindlessly eating high calorie foods such as potato chips and ice
cream. Without focusing on her diet, she began to lose weight and feel
successful.
Because of this success, ten months later she was ready to make some realistic
changes in her diet, and continuing to meet her goals of losing weight.
It is more effective to work in areas that you are ready and able to change. Since
one aspect of our life affects the whole, having success in one area can translate
to success in another area.
Most people don’t realize that change will only take place when they are ready to make the change, and when they get to this point in their lives change will take place. As a your coach I will help you in this area and if you are in fact ready I will be glad to work with you, but if you are not ready than I see no reason to waste your time as well as mine.
Sometimes we want to make changes in our lives but we have so many things going on that it becomes almost impossible to do until we are able to recognize we have obstacles and self doubting thoughts that need to be eliminated in order to make the necessary changes. A Coach helps you see what you can’t see or fail to see clearly….
A lot of people will hire a personal trainer thinking they can help them lose weight or get in shape when in reality a personal trainer helps you with your exercise routine and diet but when it comes to understanding WHY you are struggling with making it to the gym, staying on track with your diet and other personal issues they are usually not as helpful as a personal Life Coach or Success Advisor.
