Be Your Own Life Coach

AFTER ALL, NOBODY KNOWS YOU BETTER THAN YOURSELF!

- Angela Lee

Some people just seem to have everything together in their lives. They coast along, reaching milestone after milestone, ‘in the zone’ while notching up goals from their list of life’s objectives. But for many, there comes a time when you get stuck, a little lost along the way, whether it’s in your personal or professional life, or even both. You lose sight of your objectives and what makes you happy. Hiring a life coach to help you plot your way back to where you want to be or where you want to go is a great option. And having someone cheer you on, like a personal trainer who makes sure you reach your fitness target, might be all it takes to help you focus on what you want from life or your career. However, like personal trainers, life coaching can come with a hefty price tag, making it a luxury for many. Here are some great techniques to help you reach your goals on your own.

Be honest

Before you can start navigating a new life path, it’s essential to come to terms with who you are and what you want to achieve. You need to do some digging and soul searching, even if it takes you to places where you don’t necessarily want to venture. For some, therapy sessions (which can potentially be claimed back from medical aid) might be necessary to uncover what truly makes you happy and steers you in the right direction. You need to discover your passions and where your life’s fulfillment lies.
