I wanted to share with you why I have trained to become a coach specialising in positivity and well being. Quite simply what I have learnt over the past two and half years since pancreatic cancer robbed my Dad of his life has been so powerful in my own life, literally life changing, I now want to be able to share and assist anyone else who may need a similar boost in their own lives.
It’s human nature to want to move away from pain and towards pleasure and booze had subconsciously become my coping mechanism for grief.
Grief manifests itself in lots of different ways in people. For me, I drank to numb the pain. It’s human nature to want to move away from pain and towards pleasure and booze had subconsciously become my coping mechanism for grief.
On the surface, the drink was giving me the desired respite from grief, but it was bringing with it other problems. I was continually tired as I woke in the night with pangs of anxiety, I was down in the dumps and felt like life was an uphill struggle. I lacked motivation, clarity and felt below par on a daily basis.
Thankfully, I knew deep down, I was drinking too much and my Dad would have been pissed off if I had allowed his death to derail my own life. So I took a break from the booze. Once I did this, My energy levels and motivation went through the roof. I had a new found zest for life, an insatiable appetite for learning, self development, achieving personal, fitness and business goals alike all whilst getting to know my authentic self.
As my learning deepened over time and I knew myself better, I was becoming increasingly aware that I wanted to share the tips and science backed interventions I was acquiring with others who may wish to introduce a bit more positivity and happiness into their own lives. So when I was accepted on the Arete Way Coaching Course and learnt how coaching can unlock purpose, potential and happiness for myself and those I coach, I had a feeling this would give me the formal training and necessary skills to be able to do exactly that. Help others to help themselves.
If like I did, you feel life is just a bit ‘meh’ and want to know more about how you can bring more positivity and happiness into your life give me a shout. I offer a free, confidential, no commitment discovery call via phone or Zoom.
