How To Achieve Growth Through Personal Wellness Coaching

By Krystal Branch


In many countries a great many people are enjoying comfortable life styles and as the standard of living rises, so people start to long for individual growth, a greater degree of self fulfillment and even to find some deeper meaning in their lives. This desire has led to tremendous growth in the field of personal wellness coaching. Many people believe that they need help to grow and to change.

The biggest obstacle faced by many people that want to experience growth and increased fulfillment is that they often do not know what exactly they are missing. They have ambiguous desires to do something better with their lives but they seldom know what it is they should be doing. This is where a professional can be of great value. Individual instructors can help their clients to identify their deep seated desires.

A coach is important in the sense that he can help his clients to quantify their dreams and desires. Nothing will happen or change all by itself. That is why it is necessary to set specific goals and to devise plans on exactly how to achieve those goals. The main task of the coach is to help the client set these goals and objectives.

It is interesting to note that the majority of experts in this field start off with a fitness program. They argue that physical health and fitness form the basis for psychological and emotional stability and even happiness. Fit people are more motivated, they eat better, they sleep better and they have much more energy than those that are overweight and unfit.

An individual instructor should be chosen with great care. It may be best to seek somebody that has a solid background in helping people to achieve their live objectives and that has formal qualifications in this field. References from friends and family may help, but it is also important to keep in mind that there need to be a personal connection between the instructor and his client.

No coach can perform miracles. Too many people think that the coach should be responsible for the success of the program and this is simply not the case. The client remains responsible for his or her own growth. The role of the coach is to encourage, to motivate and to measure progress. Anyone looking for instant success is guaranteed to be disappointed.

Hiring the services of an experienced coach can be expensive. However, many churches offer life enrichment courses at no cost or for a small donation. It is also possible to reduce the cost by joining groups of like minded people that have roughly similar aims. Some people hire a coach for a short period of time, simply to help them get started.

Personal wellness coaching has become a big industry. Professional coaches need to be versatile because the expectations of their clients vary wildly. Many people start off with one coach and then change to another as their personal needs change. It remains important, however, to remember that the responsibility for success lies with the client, not the coach.
