SELF-COMPASSION

Certainly the singular most important relationship we will ever have is the one we have with ourselves. Our own personal relationship we have with ourselves impacts everything we do and say both to the world and to ourselves. If we do not accept ourselves for who we are, we are bound to a life of internal struggle and suffering.

How we treat ourselves and how we judge our behaviours and actions are born out of personal experiences and judgments of others, but we treat ourselves according to our own demands and expectations, and if we do not meet our expectations or satisfy our demands we see ourselves as failures and useless and other critical nasty adjectives and we forget that we are able to be kinder and more patient and caring to ourself and to recognise that the bad behaviour or bad action is the action itself and it is not the person that is bad.

When we accept that we are not bad people because we did or said something bad, we can begin to be kinder to ourselves and start to correct our ways and words with the world but mostly we can correct the way we see ourselves and ultimately form better, more positive, healthy relationship with ourselves.

Benefits of Coaching

Improved Self-Confidence
A study by the International Coaching Federation (IFC) discovered that 80% of people who hired a life coach reported an improvement in self-confidence.

Different perspective
We are often consumed by our own opinions, life experiences, and way of thinking. So much of our existing understanding of life is learned from our families and friends growing up and are sometimes seldom considered if right or wrong. A life coach can provide a new and often helpful way to begin to view life from a different perspective.

Behaviour and Habits Adjustment
Being able to identify poor habits and non-productive or self-sabotaging behaviours enables us to deliberately avoid any negative actions that do not serve your best interests. Once you understand where you might be going wrong you are able to adjust these behaviours and habits to serve you.

Acute Self-Awareness
Being fully aware of your impact on others and recognizing your flaws, strengths, and unique personality attributes is an extremely challenging adventure. This is the art of self-awareness.

Developing Self-awareness requires a strong capacity for introspection and reflection that is often be hurtful or difficult to process and improve. A high level of Self-Awareness brings the ability to achieve peace within ourselves by better knowing who you are, where you and are, what you want, and where you want to be.

Creating a Balanced Life
The concept of life balance is different for everyone, but it often refers to a happy, peaceful, and harmonious relationship between your physical and cognitive being, as well as the major areas of life.
One of the benefits of a life coach is to identify what balance looks like for you and define action steps to achieve more balance in your life.

Mindfulness
As Self Awareness is to your own person, mindfulness is to your environment and circumstance. Learning to be more mindful of things around you and to people who you meet or are in your live allows you to better appreciate all aspects whether things are good or bad, being mindful develops better understanding and interactions.
Build Better Relationships
Relationships are the glue that combines individuals with society and provides shared fulfilment in life. From marriages to friendships and beyond, strong relationships are a critical contributor to happiness.
According to the same ICF study mentioned previously, 73% of people who hired a life coach improved their relationships.

Achieve Goals
We all have dreams in life, but very few people crystalize these aspirations into tangible goals to systematically accomplish. A major benefit of life coaching is being able to define your life goals and create a concrete, doable plan to achieve them.

Building Happiness
True happiness is somewhat of a mystical experience and at the end of the day, happiness is intrinsic that is unique to the way you feel inside thus creating balance, and committing to a better version of yourself with the aid of a life coach, you open up the prospect of finding happiness.

Clarify Your Purpose
Are you clear on what your purpose in life is? Again, this is a very individual and internal fire that burns within. It’s your passion, dreams, skills, and weaknesses all bundled into one.
It’s your direction in life. Clarity of purpose is vital if you want to pursue your dreams, a life coach can assist you in creating this focus.

Follow Through on Commitments
Hiring a life coach is about more than just getting advice and guidance, it also creates accountability. You will have an ally that holds you to your word and ensures those goals get pursued and projects are completed.

Create a Best Self
Many of us spend too much time comparing ourselves to others and focussing on what we perceive to be our flaws. Discovering your best self is one of the priceless benefits of life coaching.

Build on Strengths and Understand Weaknesses
A life coach will take an impartial view of your strengths and weaknesses, helping you understand your areas of greatest opportunity.

Freeing Your Mind
To be open-minded you need to appreciate that there are different ways of doing things and varying perspectives on life other than your own, which may be wrong and lead to personal discovery of alternative thinking and ideas of the world.
Unlock Potential
Many of us have latent potential that is hidden by prejudice or closed-mindedness. Life coaches unlock this potential by opening you up to alternate ways of thinking and creating clarity for your direction in life.

Improve Communication
Improving communication skills is built upon a better understanding of yourself and appreciation of others. Communication is one of the cornerstones of better social relationships and workplace success.

Better Manage Time and Productivity
Everyone has the same amount of time in the day, but some people use those 24 hours more efficiently than others. Working with a life coach can help you better manage your time, set priorities, and get more done.

Eliminate Negative Thoughts
As well as looking at the positive aspects of life, such as your purpose, goals, and potential, life coaches are armed with a series of techniques that can help you eliminate or reduce negative thoughts that hold you back. Learn how to stop stopping you leads to realised potential.

Overcome Fears
By minimizing negative thoughts and embracing your strengths you can start to overcome fears that have been restricting your ability to achieve your dreams.

Unleash Creativity
You can work with a life coach to brainstorm ideas and unearth creativity that is sitting dormant in the depths of your subconscious.

Provide a Different Outlook on Life
Being open-minded, self-aware, and considering a new perspective on life will give you a more positive and well-rounded outlook.

Eliminate bad habits
When bad habits are embedded in our day-to-day life, they diminish our ability to perform. Working with an impartial third-party will help you determine what these habits may be and learn to eliminate them.

Values & Principles
Our values are those deeply held principles that influence our behaviour and motivate us to do things both large and small. Given the sheer influence of life values on every action, being aware of what they are can revolutionize the way we live and perform.

Align Strengths with Decisions
Instead of employing traditional methods that focus on identifying weaknesses and trying to improve those areas, a strengths-based approach focuses on the aligning positive inner resources to decisions and desired outcomes while accepting weaknesses as a part of reality.

Be Inspired and Stay motivated
Setbacks and roadblocks can derail the best of us. One of the most sought after benefits of life coaching is to sustain the discipline and maximum effort during challenging times.

Better Decision Making
Despite thinking that we act rationally, most people make decisions based on emotion or entirely subconscious processes. With a deeper understanding of how the mind works, you can reframe the process of decision-making so that it becomes simpler and wiser.

Learn and Show Empathy
To be empathetic you need to see and feel the world through the lens of someone else, put yourself in their shoes, and be understanding of their situation. Unfortunately, not everyone has the same capacity to show empathy towards others.

Learn to Accept Criticism Positively
If you’ve ever been to a job interview it’s likely that you have been asked how well you take feedback from others. While most people would like to think that they are open and willing to accept feedback or criticism, in the heat of the moment their emotions take over.

Appreciation and Gratitude
Appreciation and gratitude are core elements to create positive relationships and designing a more fulfilling and happy life and makes people feel good about the impact they have on your life in both professional and social environments.

Managing Stress and Anxiety
Stress is caused by a myriad of things such as financial burdens, career-related issues, personal relationships, lack of meaning and purpose, stagnation and feeling of being stuck or loss of direction resulting in a sense of powerlessness. Life coaching can assist with access to relaxation techniques which can reduce the mental habits causing stress in your life.

Critical Thinking
Learning how to analyse, interpret and understand concepts and ideas holistically improves responses and re-acting behaviours. Critical thinking is the most effective tool to better understand complex situations which provide greater insight that creates wisdom.

Goal Setting is a small part of the benefits that a good Life Coach can do for you.
