A Brief Overview Of 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.

It is almost impossible to define just what it is that will cause any individual to feel fulfilled or happy. This is because every human being differs and no two people will find joy in the exact same circumstances. A coach can help his clients to do an analysis of their own needs, wants and desires. Only after such self examination can a specific program be devised or even considered.

An individual instructor can help people set realistic goals and to devise a program that will hopefully achieve specific objectives. Many people set themselves unrealistic goals, or they embark upon courses and programs that are based on vague resolutions to take positive action in their own lives. Such an approach is almost doomed to failure, but a professional can help to make sure that a realistic approach is followed.

One thing common to the approaches used by most professional coaches is the issue of fitness training. Research shows that physical health and fitness is important to the well being of all people. People that are fit are more likely to take on other challenges. This is because they feel energized, they watch their diets and they remain active. It is important to make an effort to live a more active life.

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.

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.

Hiring an individual coach can be an expensive business. However, those that desire some help may also turn to their churches or social groups, many of which offer a variety of self enrichment programs. Another option is to join a group of people with similar goals. It is even possible to hire a coach for an initial period only or on an intermittent basis.

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.
