Transform your mindset and rewire yourself for success.
5 Ways Life Coaching Can Transform Your Mindset
If you're like most people, at some point in life you've faced the challenges inherent in change. Whether you've wanted to switch careers, learn a new skill, save a relationship, or break a bad habit, you'll know from first-hand experience, change is hard.
Often, change isn't optional either. For example, there's no getting around the need for change when you've set out to achieve a goal, since it's a critical part of pushing further and reaching higher. Without change, you'll plateau and maintain the status quo โ not a very exciting or fulfilling place to be.
Some of the most difficult changes we'll face on the path of personal growth, are changes to our mindset. These can be the hardest of all, because most of us haven't had our mindsets wired for success from day one.
We're up against years of habitual thought patterns, beliefs, memories and emotions when we set out to change our mindset, but despite the challenge, these are the changes that can have the most impact on your life, completely transforming your career, health, relationships, finances and self image.
A life coach empowers you to make these changes and with their guidance and support, the coaching process can be one of the most powerful ways you can transform your mindset and rewire yourself for success.
So What Is Mindset?
Mindset is often defined as dogmas or fixed beliefs, which can be changed or eliminated, to accomplish a particular goal, or maximise your personal growth and development. Mindset is the sum total of all our lifelong thoughts, feelings and emotions, filtered through our experiences. Our mindset can be one of our most valuable assets, or our worst enemy.
Think for a moment about successful people and the type of mindset they share. They donโt let negative experiences and events beyond their control affect their state of mind. They realise that our beliefs create our world, but that we are in control of our beliefs. They are in charge of their emotions, mindset and lives, not the other way around.
Life Coaching is one the best methods for people to radically transform their existing thinking patterns into the success mindset of top achievers and create a life of true fulfilment and purpose. Life Coaching is the complete package, in that it affects massive change, but does so in a way that is incredibly personalised, related to your current situation, operates from a place of positivity and progresses at your unique pace.
There are a few distinct elements that set Life Coaching apart from other tools, modalities or therapies people engage with, to work on their mindset. In fact, there are five characteristics specifically, which in my opinion, make coaching it the most effective way to create radical mindset shifts.
1. Your Life Coach doesn't direct or instruct
Life Coaching empowers and challenges you, to draw upon your own inner resources, power and wisdom, rather than relying on anything outside of you. This creates an enormous sense of satisfaction and fulfilment.
While a good coach can help you through the process of rewiring your mindset for success, they won't do the work for you. Instead of telling you what to do, they ask good questions, listen intently, offer compassion and help you explore your individual vision. They'll set up the groundwork for you to identify the learning opportunity in a situation, and see the necessary changes through. In short, a good coach empowers you to lead yourself.
2. Your Life Coach helps you face your fears
So many people let their professional and personal lives pass them by because they are afraid of failure. Your coach will support you in confronting fear-based behaviours, help you reframe fearful situations as opportunities and leave the place of fear to boldly live the life you've dreamed of.
Fear is a destructive emotion, but you don't have to accept it. Overcoming your fears is a major step toward changing your mindset for success.
3. Your Life Coach keeps you focused on the present, not the past
In Life Coaching, the focus is on building upon your current situation. While certain elements of the past might be explored to provide context for the present, it's not a space that is occupied for long. Focusing on the present empowers you to acknowledge your current reality and then move forward, toward your new, best self!
4. Your Life Coach helps catch negative self-talk
Nearly everyone holds on to limiting beliefs that prevent them from realising their dreams. Limiting beliefs are the stories we tell ourselves about who we think we are: overweight, socially awkward, undeserving of love or success.
These stories arenโt true and they can (and should!) be replaced with alternate, empowering beliefs. When we face new opportunities head on, it's easy to slip back into familiar, limiting patterns, because they're more comfortable for us.
But with a coach by your side, you'll have someone looking out for you as you develop positive, new habits, so you can reach new levels of success at work and in your personal life.
This is a real game changer for many people who come into contact with coaching. Most of the time people don't even realise they're holding negative self beliefs, which makes it very difficult to stop doing it.
Your Life Coach will be able to catch negative thought patterns that might otherwise slip under your conscious radar and pick up slips of the tongue that could otherwise go unnoticed. This challenges you to 'walk your talk', listen to what is being said and adapt any unhelpful habits that could be holding you back.
5. Your Life Coach encourages different perspectives
Trying on different perspectives for size, is a powerful way to open up new possibilities for thinking, feeling and action. Your Coach can help increase your awareness of the many different perspectives available to you at any given point in time.
You'll start to see that you're not stuck with one perspective and the possibilities that offers you.
By unhooking from habitual thoughts, challenging your existing mindset and exploring new perspectives, you'll find that shifting your focus from who you were, to who you want to be, doesn't have to seem so overwhelming.
