Coaching Creates New Solutions to Make Life Less Stressful

One of the things that coaching does is to help people stop dwelling on problems and move towards solutions. Rather than constantly thinking about the problem and analyzing it, coaching teaches how to be a solution-based thinker.

My life coaching clients learn to look at each challenging life and work event and to use this process:

1. Be clear on what they do and do not want
2. Find the gap or the area that is not quite right yet
3. View the problem or situation as a thing or experience but not WHO they are
4. Have a list of strategies that have worked with them in the past to cope and also a new list we co-create
5. On a daily basis look for positive aspects and growth in this situation
6. Focus on one goal or issue or concern at a time
7. Each day note their accomplishments and progress

So, what happens is people stop looking at what is wrong or broken and start trying on solutions to find what works best. Together we build a huge resource list so they are not alone on their journey.

This system works so well, clients report they never thought life could be so easy! Isn’t that why we have life coaching.
