Self Coaching

© Baruch Weiner

A Personal Life Coach Today life coaching is an important and helpful tool and trend. It is away to move ahead and get unstuck. A personal coach is mote than a caring friend. He or she is a friend that not only cares but also has the knowledge and ability to help you make a real change in your life.

Point To Ponder The question comes down to- whom would you use as coach in your life and in what areas? How much would you follow through with the discussed plans and ideas?

Who Has the Responsability In the end the responsibility falls on your shoulders. Your coach cannot make the changes for you. They wont be there to hold your hand 24/7/365. So the way to really use a coach is to assist yourself to become your own coach. Yes that is right you need to be able to live with yourself in a way that you are your own coach.

Be Your Own Coach That does not mean you should not have a healthy relationship with a personal coach to assist you. It means though that you would most benefit in my opinion from the coaching experience if you were to gain the tools and insights and inspiration to be able to live with yourself in a healthy self to self-relationship where you are your own coach on a daily basis. While your hired coach is your booster and mentor in teaching you and assisting you to enable you to use and live with yourself!

Connect to Yourself This might sound surprising but yet we are really cut off from ourselves. If you want to test it try this. Take a walk alone just with yourself to be with yourself. Is it boring or do you feel uninterested wishing you were with someone or had something to do while walking? If so then that may be a sign that you are to some extent cut off from yourself.

Are You Avoiding Yourself? A person who is self connected enjoys and cherishes those moments alone to be with themselves. Today many people are avoiding themselves more than they avoid their worst enemies. A person who is always finding activities to be busy with and always has to be around others leaves not a moment to spend with him or herself. If suddenly they are alone then they turn on the TV or radio or pull out the paper thus avoiding that dreaded moment and meting with their inner self.
