As a health and wellbeing coach, my work revolves around helping individuals achieve balance in both body and mind. Along this journey, I have learned that mental and emotional health are just as crucial as physical health. It's not just about fitness or eating right; it's about how we manage our emotions, thoughts, and responses to the world around us. A key principle I emphasise is self-awareness. By becoming attuned to your emotions - whether they are serving us or not serving us - we can respond more intentionally rather than react impulsively. The emotions we feel are not barriers to our success; they’re signals. The last thing I want - ever - is to sound preachy and as if anyone, let alone me, has it all figured out. We are all navigating our lives in the best way we can and in the best way we have been taught so far in our lives. And I have also seen from my own experience that some emotions that we refuse to acknowledge, such as anger, can actually start a very meaningful change in our lives. I have also seen from my own experience that in coaching there is some kind of beautiful and safe space between the client and the coach - and it is that loving safe space that transformations happen. Personally, I believe that we as people change much greater and quicker when someone sees the potential in us, when someone reminds us of how amazing we can be and encourages us to show up as that person every day. To me, this is the power and magic of a good coaching relationship. From my heart to yours - thank you for reading. Be well, stay well! |
