So, one of the current ongoing things to do as of late, is to get connected with a life coach.I have often thought of doing so but their going rate is pretty expensive. Nonetheless, I have always seen that as being an assest. Having someone by your side that is about your best in any given situation, having someone to bounce things off of, to check ur actions in with, to get an outside perspective on, it's a good thing. Now, I'm sure there are a lot of people that think that it would be a waste of money, but the productivity benefit outwieghs the cost.
Take for instance procrastination. now this is something that many people often struggle with. The benefit of having a life coach is that they have developed knowldge in these stupid quirky things and can provide you with strategies to overcome them. Not only that, but hte provide accountability as well as being someone who is rooting for yoru success which can be a handy thing on those days when life just did not go as planned.
take me for instance...I have grown up with a lot of habits that were working for me in the time that I needed to use them. however, i am grown now and these skills that were of benefit to me for a period of my life are no longer of successful service to me. however, I still operate in the same manners as they have become habit, they are comfortable and because they had worked for so long, my brain has a hard time understanding that they are no longer working.
along come my life coach...he provides me with strategies to ovcercome these quirks that are no longer successfully servicing my needs, and he is invested in my success. He is a great cheerleader and for the times that I find that I am having a hard time that day pushing through, he is there on the sidelines supporting me, encouraging me and believing in my success even when i cannot see it.
and yes for some it may sound cheesy to pay to have someone motivate you and believe in you but from where I sit and from where i have come from this is an amazingly powerful thing
