Which path do you want to be on?

A lot of health coaches have a reason for doing the job that they do. Most people that start on this journey are doing so because they have been through some sort of sickness or some hard times which has lead them down this road. I am so thankful that I have not had any illnesses that have brought me to health coaching, but then again I also feel like there should be some special healing reason for me to start this new adventure. But to be perfectly honest with you there isn't any special reason besides this is what gets me going, this is my mojo, my thing, my PASSION! The truth is I have always played some part in helping people find their healthiest selves and it's what I enjoy!. To watch someone figure out what makes them tick, what makes them feel good about themselves, what makes their world spin is amazing to me. When you watch or are involved in that "AHA" moment it's like nothing you have ever experienced.

People ask me what is a health coach, but to give them a true explanation is very difficult. I usually pause and start to ask them a few questions similar to what happens in a coaching session. Then we start. The question I like the most is " what were you like or doing when you were the happiest". if you were to stop and really think about this it can truly bring up so many emotions. When is the last time you thought about when you were truly happy? What were you doing? Where were you? Who was with you? What was your health like then? Then I would say... What would it take to get back to that place? People are so involved in their fast paced every day lives that they forget what they were like when they were truly happy, and what they need to do to get back to that time in their lives. A happy person looks at the world through different eyes, a happy person's outlook of how things can be is always positive. This positivity will lead you down a path that will show you what an amazing person you can be. Figuring out what you are good at, figuring out what your "thing" is, will lead you to make positive, beneficial decisions in every aspect of your life, nutrition, exercise plan and even relationships.

Sometimes it is difficult to see the path that is most positive for you, but with key questions and a little guidance the path will be clear. It is crazy to me to watch this process work and be beneficial to the client. I love the process and believe in it and I want it to work for you!!
