Help, I want to feel good. What a Wellness Coach can do for you.

By Jane Yogel

A Wellness coach will guide and show you that you have the power to overcome your own obstacles. Through goal setting that is obtainable and measurable, you can overcome unwanted urges and self-defeating behaviors that stop you from being your best. A coach will help you be accountable for your progress and achievements. A coach will guide and show you that you have the power to overcome your own obstacles.

Coaching is the link to realize your potential by showing you ways to grow and invest in your ability to achieve.

How many of us constantly obsess about weight. On average, we have spent more than 50 billion (yes, billion) dollars last year trying to achieve the impossible idea of thinness and beauty. The stress, lack of value we place on ourselves and in our own abilities creates unwanted stress and wrecks havoc with all the other areas of our life. It affects relationships, our physical and mental health, productivity and our ability to fell satisfied and happy.

In my 20 years of Training and Coaching I can’t tell you how many times I have heard “I want to feel healthy”, “I can’t stay motivated on my own”, I hate what I’ve done to myself”, “I’m so tired of my own excuses”.

Despite constant media attention on weight loss, health and well being, and a billion dollar industry to support our healthy lifestyle efforts, we are not only heavier but significantly less healthy. Perhaps because our choices are too great, or we rely on quick fix remedies that don’t engage us, we have lost our ability to rely on ourselves. We focus on solving problems, which for many of us are overwhelming, instead of planning and creating visions for the future that excite, drive and motivate us toward the lifestyle changes we desire.

Wellness Coaching provides a conversational skill which fosters growth and confidence in a persons own abilities. Wellness is taking responsibility for the quality of your life. The areas of well being are self-responsibility; exercise; nutrition; stress management (good & bad); value; purpose; gratefulness; emotional intelligence; play; fun and relationships.

Being healthy and achieving wellness doesn’t rely on the numbers of a scale to determine whether we are successful. Rather it embodies all aspects of our life: our mind, body, spirit and emotions each being an integral component of the other and each with the desire to feel intact and balanced.

It is when we feel confident and self reliant we achieve the goals that we have for ourselves. Believe in feeling good.
