A Brief Overview Of Personal Wellness Coaching

By Krystal Branch


For many people financial achievements and a comfortable life style is not enough. They desire fulfillment and, in many cases, spiritual growth. Many psychological models actually rate individual fulfillment the highest of all human desires. Unfortunately, most people do not know how to achieve the fulfillment that they crave, but luckily personal wellness coaching remains a viable solution for those that can afford it.

There are numerous factors that can have an influence on the happiness and fulfillment of an individual or even a family. In many cases, people are aware of the fact that they are not personally fulfilled or content, but they are unable to pinpoint the reason for their own discontent. A professional can help them analyze their own needs and desires and only then can progress be made.

A coach is important in the sense that he can help his clients to quantify their dreams and desires. Nothing will happen or change all by itself. That is why it is necessary to set specific goals and to devise plans on exactly how to achieve those goals. The main task of the coach is to help the client set these goals and objectives.

One thing common to the approaches used by most professional coaches is the issue of fitness training. Research shows that physical health and fitness is important to the well being of all people. People that are fit are more likely to take on other challenges. This is because they feel energized, they watch their diets and they remain active. It is important to make an effort to live a more active life.

Choosing an individual instructor can be very difficult. It may be best to opt for a professional that has experience in helping a diverse group of clients to achieve their goals. Some people prefer the coach to be from a spiritual or religious background whilst others prefer a psychological qualification. It is advisable to choose a coach with which a personal relationship of mutual trust can be established.

Many clients are disappointed because they failed to realize that it is only they that can achieve change in their lives. The coach cannot set goals for the client or prescribe the course of action that should be pursued. The role of the individual instructor is to act as guide and to motivate his clients to achieve the objectives that they have set for themselves.

Hiring an individual coach can be an expensive business. However, those that desire some help may also turn to their churches or social groups, many of which offer a variety of self enrichment programs. Another option is to join a group of people with similar goals. It is even possible to hire a coach for an initial period only or on an intermittent basis.

Personal wellness coaching has become a big industry. Professional coaches need to be versatile because the expectations of their clients vary wildly. Many people start off with one coach and then change to another as their personal needs change. It remains important, however, to remember that the responsibility for success lies with the client, not the coach.
