Health Coaching

PictureHey Ya’ll! Sorry I am late with this next post, life happens and frankly I just wasn’t ready to publish this one until now.

As a health and wellness professional I see individuals struggle with their health every day, heck even I struggle. I will admit that I am far from perfect and I am still working to accomplish my goals. We live in a society where the 40-50 hour work week, a kid, a dirty house, a husband who travels for work, animals, church and family exists. This is just my normal week, I know there are many of you out there can compile on to that list. Who has time to add cooking healthy meals and regular exercise? I am currently counting my water intake but doing this while at work poses as a difficult task as I lose track of time and my glass for that matter.

Everyone needs a support system, someone to encourage and build them up.  Many people elicit help from a health coach. A health coach is person who is educated in health and wellness and is able to assist others in making healthy life choices. You might be wondering how this works and what you can expect.

  • Wellness vision
              - This vision how you see yourself at your most healthy.
                     *Nutrition, fitness, mental and spiritual.
  • Creating effective goals

             - Define each goal
                    *Nutrition, fitness, mental and spiritual
             - Find a personal motive to help you succeed
                    *Kids, longevity, appearance, self-esteem, etc.
             - Determine obstacles that you will need to over come
                    *Work schedule, kids schedule, health problems, lack of motivation, etc
             - Determine your personal strengths to build from
                    *Perfectionist, schedules, flexibility, able to stick to a plan, etc.

  • Re-evaluation
             - Keeping documentation of process
                    *Journal, planner, daily emails, etc.
             - Evaluate process together regularly
                    *Email regularly with health coach

These three steps is what I use as a health coach to ensure success. Working together on a regular basis will build a support system that most everyone needs. I am offering my readers a free month of coaching so you are able to get a started before the New Year and see if this works for you. Please sign up below and I will email you within 24 hours.

Have a wonderful and blessed week!

WANT TO STOP CREATING DISEASE?

Disease, even hereditary disease, is not set in stone. Just because one may have a genetic tendency for this or that illness,  does not guarantee one will ever develop that condition. The outcome is entirely in your hands. Let me say that again. The outcome is entirely in your hands. One does not HAVE to develop heart disease, diabetes or cancer, even if the whole family had it, died from it or is currently under doctor's care for it. Genes may predispose someone for a weakness. However, our own ENVIRONMENTS & LIFESTYLES have more power over  possible disease development or health maintenance than any hereditary trait. Thought life, stress, emotions, spiritual expectation, foods, and lifestyle habits are the variables that change health outcomes, regardless of genes. We each have the ability to stop disease from ever coming around. We still won't live forever.  But we can live an optimally health life IF we are willing to make c...

Explaining Chronic Invisible Illness/Is It Worth It?

A friend in one of my Facebook chronic pain groups posted this question for discussion: "What would you like to say to those who don't think our pain isn't that bad and/or we are faking our illness?" I couldn't answer right away. I didn't know what to say and wanted to chew on it for awhile. Quite frankly, I've grown wearing of trying to make others understand. What do you say when you've been through the ringer with doctor after doctor insinuating you are a hypochondriac until they finally find evidence on an imaging study that proves otherwise? I can tell you what my inner two year old would like to say (you can find that here ). But what, if anything, can be said that would truly help them understand what we, the chronically ill, face every day?  What to say to friends and family that roll their eyes and think you are "lazy" because you are unable to get out of bed until 9am. That just because you had decent sleep the ...

How Does Hypnosis Control Pain?

How does Hypnosis Control Pain? You have seen extreme Yoga practitioners do it, pass large needles through their body parts with no pain and no bleeding.  You have read how people under hypnosis can undergo dental procedures with no pain medication of any type.  People with chronic pain seem to be able to reduce their suffering significantly utilizing hypnotic techniques and in some cases actually speed the bodies healing process.  HOW DO THEY DO THAT?????? The process is actually very simple, by using a mindfulness relaxation discipline such as hypnosis a person is able to reduce their blood pressure to area of the body and make it go numb.  Much the same as when you fall asleep on your arm the wrong way and cut the circulation off and the arm goes numb.  This permits such procedures such as dental surgery to be carried out without pain and very little bleeding. When it comes to such things as back pain the more it hurts the more the muscl...
