Appreciating The Holistic Life Coach

By Lila Berger


If a person is not able to handle a specific problem, they might try to get help for that issue alone. Yet, there are other areas that might also be affected. A holistic life coach is one who looks at every area of a person's life and guides the individual in making the best decisions.

To illustrate, one can think about a hypothetical person named Debbie. This young woman grew up in a loving environment that also had order, discipline and structure. Her parents knew from day one what she was going to do with her life. They wanted her to go to school to become a medical doctor, just like her father.

In spite of all this, something is missing from their lives. They are not sure what it is, but they are not as fulfilled as they hoped they would be. This is due to the fact that their parents told them what profession they should get into and so they are not sure about what they really want. They are afraid to leave their job because they do not know where to turn.

As a result of this frustration, this individual might become stressed and out of balanced. Some people in this situation might turn to drinking or some other kind of substance abuse. This not only affects the mind, but the body as well as the spirit. Others might simply decide not to care about the quality of their work or what happens as a result of not caring.

What this person may not realize is that the choices that they are making come from their emotions. If a person feels that they are not in control of their situation, the emotions take over. Depending on how a person feels at any given moment, they might decide to eat unhealthy foods and make poor decisions which can affect their health.

Sometimes a person might think that they are in control of this type of situation because they still able to hold on to a job. In reality, they might need help figuring out how to live in the best way they possibly can. This is where a life coach comes in because they will show this person how to make the changes that are necessary to succeed.

They will go through each area of a person's life and make the connections that lead to where the person is at present. Many times the individual that is seeking advice is not aware of how everything is connected and what they need to do. So coaching might be a good thing so that a person can change for the better.

There are many people who go through life from day to day not feeling their best. A holistic life coach can provide the tools necessary for an individual to take things to another level. A person will have to do their research in order to know who they are able to work with and if that person is the type of coach for their particular situation.
