Being healthy is everywhere you look, so you feel like it’s time you did it too. You join the local gym, set your alarm early four mornings a week and throw yourself into smashing your new year goals.

Your body aches. It hurts to sit down and walk up the stairs. You’re wondering if this healthy living thing just isn’t for you.

By the end of January, you’ve thrown the towel in. It’s impossible to get healthy. It hurts too much. You don’t have time. You feel worse, not better.

IS COACHING WORTH IT?

There are so many different types of coaches and what exactly you would go to a coach for, can be pretty confusing. All coaches want to help you get the transformation you desire. They will work with you to help you get clarity on what it is you want, what’s standing in your way of getting it, and how you’re going to make the changes to get what it is you want. They want to help you find the answers and unlock the potential you already have inside of you. They are there to provide support, collaboration, and accountability.

THE FIRST STEP IS ALWAYS THE HARDEST

Think about what it is you’ve been holding off on from your list of goals because it just seems so far from reach. What did you decide to do and try to dive straight into, but quickly hit a brick wall because you didn’t know where to start, or began doubting your ability?

It can help you to get motivated and take appropriate action to achieve what you want. On the flip side, however, it can have detrimental effects.

WHY NOW IS THE TIME TO INVEST IN YOUR HEALTH

I advocate everyone, of any age, investing in their health and wellbeing right now.

I challenge you to think about your own wellbeing, assess what you’re doing to invest in it right now, to give yourself the life you want.
