Most people that seek out spiritual life coaching are those who are already traveling the path of spirituality and who need some way to further improve the development of their spirituality. In some cases, people that are not sure about how to proceed further on the true path of spirituality can use the helping hand of a life coach. In any case, the main reason why someone would want to get spiritual life coaching is because they cannot properly comprehend their own inner being, their pa... more...

Self-esteem has a lot to do with the way that you see yourself -- your self-image. Also noted a self concept, your self-image consists of all the thoughts and beliefs that you have about yourself -- how you see yourself in mind, how you represent yourself to your brain. Imagine your ideal self, how you would look, how you would feel, what you be saying to yourself, and do this consistently with vivid detail and you would begin to raise your self-esteem, like it or not, and receive assoc... more...

It's late, well actually it's early. Almost 3 AM and we can't sleep. Normally staying up late at night is a bad thing, most people have to get up early in the morning and fight rush hour traffic and go to a job that they hate. All we have to do is walk down the stairs. We haven't been sleeping much lately because we're so excited about the things that are taking place in our lives. Many of our friends can't sleep at night for a lot of different reason... more...

Self-development readings are personal interpretations of what your day may hold, who you might run into, what sort of things that need to be done, what you may need to work on to better yourself, and much more. Daily readings also may help to fulfill the readings that predict the more distant future. A daily reading may be a sign that you truly believe and trust in self-development and cannot go forth into the day with out it. How do daily readings of self-development help me in self-de... more...

No matter how good we are at managing our life, there are times when we all get down and need a helping hand, and this is where the relatively new, but serious profession of life coaching comes into play. Depression and anxiety have taken over millions of people's lives, making many people literally bed ridden with fear and worry. To mask the problem many people take medication and walk around like zombies. There is no reason anyone should have to live like this, thanks to life coac... more...

When we are dealing with the physical world, we must look into the importance of perspective. This means that we must also understand the importance of having a holistic perspective. None of us would only buy part of a house or a house without a roof. This is why we must not except part of a perspective but must instead look at a whole perspective. When an individual buys a house the individual inspects the inside and outside of the house. The individual looks at the roof, the house space, the f... more...

One of the key elements in reclaiming your life is to develop a strong relationship with your Self. This sounds so simple and yet many people are in conflict because they have a limited relationship with their inner world. They are driven by external forces and lead lives through others. They wake up in the morning, and hit the floor running: take a shower, get the kids up, say a brief "hello" to their partners, eat some breakfast (maybe), get the kids to school, get to work, spen... more...

I was working with a client this week, whose daughter is 10 years old and is already showing signs of body image issues. 10 years old!!!!!! This woman is a fantastic mom who supports her daughter to be healthy and strong. But, somehow this adorable young girl is getting messages that her body is not "thin enough." I recently read an article about a family who allowed their teenage daughter to get a boob job because she didn't like the size of her breasts. The girl was only ... more...

One of the experiences that we can count on in this life is change. Transition. We are going along living our life and all of a sudden the way we experience life is altered. The changes we encounter can be varied, from the joy of having a new baby to the grief of a loved one dying. All transitions give us a new opportunity to reclaim our lives! Many transitions have a sense of loss. Even if you are moving into an amazing new life, there may be times at which you grieve the old way of bei... more...

What would your life be like if you stopped compromising? What would your day be like if you stopped watering down what you wanted and began listening to what was important to you? What would this moment be like if you let yourself be completely comfy and settled in while reading this article, rather than skimming it and thinking about what you need to do next? Now let's back up a moment. What do I mean by living a life without compromise? I mean living a life that gives you and eve... more...

Winter is a time that many of us pull back a bit from our external lives and go to a quiet place of reflection. Whatever time of year it, it's an excellent opportunity in which to discover or review your values. If it's winter, it may feel even more appropriate. A great step in the exploration towards reclaiming your life is to understand your own personal values. Ask yourself this question: "Who am I?" The focus is on your own uniqueness rather than on the norms of soc... more...

As I waited for my appointment at the fracture clinic, a number of worries consumed me. I can't drive for six weeks. How will I see the Great Wall of China with an air boot and a cane? I decided to take hold of my emotional state by asking myself an important question, "What is the possible gift of this situation?" The answer came straight back. "Learn to ask for what you need." That struck me as being a very valuable lesson for everyone. We all have things we may ne... more...

As your kidults begin to pack up for college, does the thought of creating a more grown-up nest sound good? Can you visualize more simplicity and less chaos? Think about what it would be like to clean out the drawers, give away the memorabilia your kids don't want, get rid of all the stuff they're outgrown and make your home yours again. If you decide to make a change, it will be an ongoing process filled with both positive and negative emotions. This transition signifies the... more...

Having coached many people on improving their relationship with money, I have learned that money is both deeply symbolic and quite real. It is fascinating to consider that fact that money is, in its essence, entirely symbolic, yet it is utterly real. Our very survival depends upon having enough of it. Yet money is symbolic in a social sense. If you look at a dollar bill, it has no inherent value - it is just a piece of paper. Nevertheless, money is as real as it gets when we need it in ... more...

Habits you use in network marketing can be a killer. We must be aware of exactly what we are doing that causes us not to find the victory that we so strongly desire. But before we can "fly right and to run great" it might help to examine our lives. My cause is preceded by a strong vision. This vision is to become completely and totally responsible to earn a substantial weekly income for my family, my church and for generations to come. It is to turn my mission into a ministry a... more...

Coaching often takes place in 30-minute weekly telephone conversations although some coaches and clients prefer to meet in person and/or use a longer format. During a typical call, the client reports on accomplishments since the last call, as well as on incompletions. The coach provides both congratulations and a thoughtful examination of the problems that led to the undone tasks. The coach may make specific requests that these tasks be completed, or that they be re-examined i... more...

First you need to get your vision board ready. Have you built your vision board yet? If you have not, you will find out how to later. Find a quiet place where you can sit comfortably with your vision board that you have built. Hold up your vision board and look at what are the pictures on the vision board. Go through each and every picture. Feel your emotions going through you as you look at the picture. Imagine owning it, live it... visualize all the things you want vividly. You can add ... more...

Recently I needed some work done by a colleague of mine. I had done a lot of pro bono or free work for him and now I needed him to do some work for me. When the job was completed he presented me with a full retail bill. The work he did was what he had promised -- but nothing more. He had returned my favors by making me pay full price. After paying I began to wonder -- was I missing something here? About a week later another colleague asked me to do some pro bono work. As I had some extra... more...

We are all familiar with the old adage 'it's not what you know, but who you know'. In business, it's equally true that it's not what you know, but how you put it across that counts. Few people are born with a natural talent for presentation skills and good business communication. The good news is that presentation skills can be learnt. Business is about winning You may not be in a sales role but if you are in a profession or a service industry and have to ... more...

So, you've tried that Law of Attraction thing and it didn't work. First, let's clear up some misconceptions; sitting back with a bag of chips and the remote control proclaiming you're a millionaire is not what the law of attraction is all about. This type of behavior will not make your dreams come true unless of course, your desire is to become a trivia expert on mediocre reality television shows. Then the law will work amazingly well for you. The universal law... more...
