What A Life Enrichment Coach Can Do For You

By Beryl Dalton


When people have that one enormous weakness, clear as a wart on a nose, it is not difficult to recognize it for what it is. However hard it might be to deal with a drinking problem, wake up soused in enough gutters and it promptly becomes clear that this is just what the problem is. A life enrichment coach is for those whose issues don't quite stand out like a horn the middle of one's forehead, or for whom the issue isn't unhappiness so much as a failure to thrive according to one's dreams.

A person who does this for a living might have a specialty, but should have a good sense of the holistic. Without being a licensed dietitian, there should be an awareness of how diet affects health and mood. Sometimes it will be necessary to shake things up, taking on or even abandoning vegetarianism for instance.

Fitness dovetails with diet, but it can mean different things for different people. Many people looking for a life tune up start with dropping twenty or thirty pounds simply as an exercise in attainable goal setting. Others need to stretch a stiffened body, or just to get some more sunlight during the winter.

It can be difficult to be happy when nothing is right with one's family, and there are millions so marinated in patterns that go back five or more generations that a fresh perspective might be needed just to help them recognize it. Many could use a bit of work relating to those closest, the wife or husband, or the children. Then there can be trouble relating to aging parents, especially after retirement.

It will surprise few that dating is one area of broadest, but also deepest concern. This is frequently the single most agonizing part of clients' lives, a source of bitterness that can poison success in every other area. Sometimes people need a good coach to inspire them in how to dress better, how to put together an online dating profile, or even to stop worrying when their lack of confidence is out of step with their real attractiveness.

Aside from love, wealth is perhaps the other big trouble area in life, and some people had better get their financial house in order before doing anything else. One should not confuse a coach with a tax accountant or professional financial consultant. The former is best at addressing broad based issues of wealth repulsion and attraction, attitudes toward work, and the like. Best leave the real number crunching to the accountants.

Many people need emotional healing, and their sessions for coaching might seem like psychotherapy. In fact, quite a few coaches began as licensed counselors, giving them a certain base of professional expertise to draw upon. They might be able recognize an addiction problem, or the signs of childhood abuse.

As a matter of emphasis, a psychotherapist treats those struggling to end a condition of suffering, to come up to even. Now there is an option for those looking to rise above mediocrity and seize their full potential. A good coach, therefore knows how to do a lot more than hold hands, but to inspire.
