Top Benefits of Working with a Health Coach
We help you set realistic (SMART) goals – Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time-bound. Start with one or two small changes at a time. For example, a New Year’s Resolution is not a realistic goal. They often address a symptom rather than an underlying problem – usually focusing on body weight versus eating habits or lifestyle habits. Often our habits are on autopilot and we are not even aware of them. The term Neural Plasticity is the ability of neural networks in the brain to change through growth and reorganization. It is when the brain is rewired to function in some way that differs from how it previously functioned. Once new habits are formed, they become automatic and no longer require a thought process to carry them out. They become as natural as brushing your teeth every morning. You know you are going to get up and do it every day without having to remind yourself to do it.
We will help keep you accountable. When your goals are measureable, it is much easier to monitor your progress and stay on track. Your coach is committed to your success. When you win, we win. We will help you figure out the best way to stay on track based on your strengths and values. Many apps make it easy to monitor your progress which will keep you motivated to continue in order to follow through to achieve your goals. If apps are not your forte’, we collaborate to find a work around for you.
We will help you find solutions to relieve and manage stress and anxiety. It is important to change your scenery. Get outside, connect with nature and people whose company you enjoy. Even our pets can be a way to relieve stress. The less sugar you consume, the less stressed and inflamed your body will be. We must make time to relax and practice mindfulness – being aware of the present moment.
We will help you improve your confidence and empower you to fulfill your dreams. You are much more than a number on a scale. Think of your past accomplishments. Coaches teach you the benefits of keeping a journal, meditation and to visualize a positive outcome.
We will help you achieve positive change. Choose one thing that is easily doable and give it 100%. Celebrate that accomplishment. Next week, take another small step or two and so on…until you get to where you want to go. “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one small step.” Think about the outcome you want. Coaches help you overcome challenges and obstacles that come up and to be aware of self-sabotage and limiting beliefs.
