Being Your Own Life Coach
No one knows you better than you know yourself. You know your strengths, weaknesses, needs, desires, dislikes, emotions, and physical abilities better than anyone else. You can map out your life better than any therapist, psychic, or guidance counselor. Those people may all be of assistance, but you are the best life coach for you.
To coach yourself in winning at life, be willing to put in the practice. Get involved in your life right now. Be engaged at work and play, even if you want to make changes. Practice being passionate about the mundane things in life, as well as the thrills, and you'll soon find yourself enthusiastic about everything. Map out a game plan for your life by taking the time to think about and realize what you really want. Meditate to clear you mind and open your heart. Write down goals, dreams, revelations that come to you. You may find you that along the way your needs and/or desires may change, but that's part of getting to know you. Focus on your immediate goals and make plans for what you need to do now that will get you where you want to be. Ask the hard questions and be honest with yourself. Recognize what you want to change about yourself to be a better person and do the work required whether it is exercising regularly, developing a spiritual practice, taking a class for career advancement, or being kinder to people.
Cheer yourself on. Let go of harsh criticisms and give yourself the praise and encouragement you desire and need to be a winner. Repeat affirmations daily if they are helpful, pat yourself on the back for a job well done, and console yourself when you're down. Never give up on yourself. When things look bleak, be your own best cheerleader and try to remain optimistic. Look at challenge as an adventure, take risks, and welcome change. Embrace those that come into your life to help you as your team mates and support them as well. Play hard at the game of life and enjoy it and you'll come out a winner.
