Coaching vs. Self-Coaching
Principles of Coaching
At some time in life, you are likely to experience health or life changes and transitions that come with pain, unhappiness or discontent. This is often a signal that something different needs to happen in your life. This may also illuminate a need for coaching.
The depth of your current challenge, habits, underlying beliefs or behaviors coupled with how ready you are to make a change will determine whether you will need formal coaching or will be able to apply self-coaching principles to move you from where you are to where you would like to be.
Ready
If you determine you are ready and can tackle the thing that no longer serves you and who you want to be, applying self-coaching principles is for you.
Not Ready
If you determine your motivation for change is low, you have obstacles or feel too stuck to take a first step, formal coaching may be for you.
Either way, you will need to embrace the following five principles to move you from a place that no longer serves you to cultivating and sustaining the habits and behaviors you want and ultimately living your best and healthiest life:
1. Study with Interest
2, Practice with Courage
3. Apply the Practices daily
