5 Reasons Everyone Needs a Life Coach

My life is pretty good, so why do I need a life coach? 

 I thought this. And my life was pretty good. And looking back, I still think that.

 But there were times and days that I felt a lot of stress and I really just dealt with it the best I could. I didn't know any other way. 

 Life coaching has given me greater perspective to see how 

 I am creating the life I'm living.

I'm doing it! 

 It's not caused by my environment or other people around me.

 And that's empowering! 

 Because if it really is me, then I have all the control that I need to have a different outcome. 

 So how can life coaching benefit those of us that already have it pretty good?

 1. It helps us stay in control when emotions want to flare.

 2. It helps set and achieve goals higher than we ever thought possible.

 3. It helps us deepen our relationships with those we love.

 4. It helps give us power over our past and not let it control how we act now.

 5. It helps by putting ourselves back in the driver's seat of our lives.

 These are things that we are not taught in school. 

 We grow up believing that we can hurt other people's feelings, that we are hurt by others and that things just happen and we just have to deal with it. 

 Let me tell you my friends, that's not true. You are much more in control than you think.

The Tree of Life in Feelings

Every time I read the scriptures, I get something different from it because of where I am in my life. This happens a lot to us when we study the scriptures. I had an interesting study of Lehi's vision of the Tree of Life.  We all know the different elements of the dream but I looked at the dream in a unique way focusing on the feelings that come from being in each place, and it was fascinating, so I wanted to share. This is what I came up with:  Place = Feeling * In a dark and dreary waste = lost * Large and spacious field = small * Tree of life = exceeding great joy * Searching for family = yearning * Wanting them to partake = hopeful * River of filthy water = engulfed * Standing by and not moving = stagnant/unsure * Rod of iron & strait and narrow path = determined * Mist of darkness = confused * Casting eyes about after partaking of fruit = ashamed * Great & spacious building = prideful * Fell down and partook of the fruit = relieved This is interesting because we s...

  Photo by Jakob Owens on Unsplash We want to be the perfect parent for our kids. We don't want to screw them up. We put a lot of effort into helping them succeed.  We watch them grow up and it is rewarding, some of the time. And some of the time it is hard. Sometimes they do things that we don't want them to. Sometimes we do things that they don't want us to. What our kids don't always understand is that as parents, we are still learning how to grow up too.  We don't have everything figured out yet.  But we do everything we can do to help them succeed. It is one of our greatest desires. So why is parenting so hard sometimes? Because it is supposed to be. It is how we keep growing and becoming better people. It is true that even though we are supposed to know how to parent, we really don't sometimes. And one of the best things we can do for our kids is to be willing to admit that to them. It is a game changer. They stop accusing us, and we stop pretending we ha...

  We see things as we are - our experiences, our beliefs, our traditions and our insecurities. All of these things play into how we think and ultimately how we feel and act. This happened to me. I had booked a speaker for a large event. I was excited and had told others about it. Then this morning I got on the speaker's website to get bio information and a picture for advertising and noticed that my event was not on the calendar and a different event was scheduled for that day instead! I was sure this speaker had double booked and that I would be getting the shaft! I was stressed. I was placing blame. I wasn't sure how to proceed.  I sent an email to the presenter noting that we were not on the event schedule and asked for clarification (the whole time assuming that we wouldn't be able to have her at our event). Even though I didn't mean to, I'm sure the presenter could feel my frustration because I was frustrated when I wrote the email. She emailed back that her we...
