How To Achieve Growth Through Personal Wellness Coaching

By Krystal Branch


It is ironic that so many people, whilst enjoying one of the highest standards of living the world has seen struggle to make sense out of their own lives. Many people feel unfulfilled and while they desire internal growth and change, they do not know how to go about it. This is perhaps one of the main reasons why personal wellness coaching has become so popular.

There are numerous factors that can have an influence on the happiness and fulfillment of an individual or even a family. In many cases, people are aware of the fact that they are not personally fulfilled or content, but they are unable to pinpoint the reason for their own discontent. A professional can help them analyze their own needs and desires and only then can progress be made.

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.

Choosing an individual instructor can be very difficult. It may be best to opt for a professional that has experience in helping a diverse group of clients to achieve their goals. Some people prefer the coach to be from a spiritual or religious background whilst others prefer a psychological qualification. It is advisable to choose a coach with which a personal relationship of mutual trust can be established.

Many clients are disappointed because they failed to realize that it is only they that can achieve change in their lives. The coach cannot set goals for the client or prescribe the course of action that should be pursued. The role of the individual instructor is to act as guide and to motivate his clients to achieve the objectives that they have set for themselves.

It is true that the cost of an individual instructor can be rather high and out of reach for many people. However, there are ways in which to limit the cost. Many people can benefit from enrolling for group sessions, or by using a personal instructor for a short period only simply to get the process started or to occasionally help with motivational issues.

Personal wellness coaching can certainly help individuals to identify their individual needs and to embark upon a process that will lead to self fulfillment, increased health and even fitness. By using a professional the chances of success are greatly increased. However, it is vital to remember that the instructor cannot take responsibility for achieving anything on behalf of the client.
