HEALTH COACHES: HOW THEY CAN HELP YOU
Health coaches are trained professionals who can help you create long-term mental and physical changes. Using their knowledge of health and wellness, they empower you to take charge of your health by identifying areas for improvement and providing support and encouragement as you work toward your goals.
A health coach won’t just prescribe a diet or recommend forms of exercise – they can act as a mental health coach, too. They’ll help you overcome limiting beliefs and connect your health back to your ultimate purpose in life. That’s how they are able to create personalized, real, lasting change.
Setting and reaching health goals can be challenging. But health coaches can help you move past barriers. Switching to a healthier lifestyle can affect everything. With increased energy and motivation, you’ll be able to do more, be there for others and live life to the fullest.
WHAT DOES A HEALTH COACH DO?
POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY AND UNDERSTANDING THE STATE OF CHANGE,
which teaches people to build on what´s working, rather than fixing what´s broken.
Mental health is just as, if not more, important than your physical sense of well-being. Before you can experience truly incredible health, you need to make sure your mental state is in the right place. A health coach will work with you to determine if you’re giving in to any negative limiting beliefs or false senses of self. Do you believe you can’t be successful because you don’t deserve it? Do you feel you can’t achieve true, lasting health because you’re too lazy? A health coach can help you identify and break down these barriers on your road to better overall health.
ACCOUNTABILITY AND GOAL-SETTING,
which help people to stay on track and achieve their goals.
Why do you want to enjoy a greater feeling of health and vitality? Your coach will challenge you to think about your ultimate outcome.
After getting clear on your purpose, you’ll find that when things get challenging, you’ll have a clear goal to focus on that empowers you to keep going.
HABIT CREATION AND REVERSAL,
which supports people to create new, healthy habits and reverse unhealthy ones.
What habits do you have that are beneficial to your health? What bad habits do you practice that are hurting your health? A health coach will help you analyse what you’re currently doing and where you want to be with your health and identify how your habits are helping or hurting you. Over time, you’ll work alongside your health coach to nurture habits that are beneficial. Your major takeaway from working with a health coach will not only be a change in your mental and physical state, but the knowledge of what it takes to sustain a healthy lifestyle.
MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING,
Which helps people to discover their own motivation and strategies for change.
This is what it all comes down to: a coach is there to be a guide to lasting, positive health changes. They empower with education and by listening to and understanding your needs and challenges. They guide with information, accountability, and advice. If you struggle to make healthy changes in your life, you need a coach.
