Coaching, as a profession dedicated to accompanying people in achieving their objectives and goals, uses specific tools and techniques for that purpose.
But, in addition, its influence and base in branches such as philosophy, anthropology or psychology, among others, means that it also uses resources and premises from these to enhance its effectiveness. And many of them serve to promote personal development processes by building new habits.
Coaching itself and its work have as their essence a series of arguments or postulates that anyone can apply in their personal life to enhance their personal growth and increase their mental well-being. Below we detail some of them.
1. Nothing is as difficult as it seems
Our mind is complex and tends to magnify difficulties In certain situations, especially unforeseen, without adequate emotional management, these will hijack reasoning and that is when only problems are seen and solutions are covered up.
It is important to learn to stop in the face of the circumstances that are presented to us to give the necessary space to the action of ‘thinking’ and seeing reality in all its angles. Only then will we realize that not everything is a problem and that there are surely silver linings.
2. Something is impossible because we minimize our capabilities
When we decide that ‘I can’t do this’ or ‘I’m not capable’, what really speaks is fear. AND fear paralyzes us The best way to combat it is to do something, react, and take steps to move forward, because paralyzed the only thing we will do is feed and make the fear bigger. A terrible vicious circle.
3. The first step is the most difficult
How many objectives and goals remain only in people’s minds. If we are able to take the first step to achieve it or get closer to it, the guarantee of success increases exponentially. Once the first barrier is broken, inertia usually continues to guide the steps.
4. Your experience constantly changes you
When we think that everything remains the same or that we are the same as always, we are making a mistake. It is not difficult for us to notice the physical changes over time, but Our interior, our mind and subconscious evolve with the experiences we have lived making us people who are evolved and adapted as much as possible to each time.
5. The world never turns its back on you
A fairly defeatist premise is that “everyone is against me” or “life is treating me badly.” Could it be that you are in the wrong position? Look around you and see what you can do to change your perspective so that you are the one who puts the world and life in your favor Sometimes the defeatist position is comfortable, but it will never be the most effective for our mental well-being.
6. Don’t forget the most important love: self-love
We have an enormous capacity to love and we tend to pour it into people from outside, often neglecting the most important person: ourselves. We must never forget about self-care because by loving ourselves well and more, we can also give others the highest quality love.
7. Do you expect miracles? Believe in yourself
Human existence itself is so surprising and so wonderful that just the fact that each of us exists should consider it a miracle. In that sense, being as important as each of us are, We must not stop trusting that we are capable of making many good things happen to us because we have the ability to do it by the simple fact of existing.
8. You are here for all your achievements
When we take stock of our lives, we usually focus on the achievements that we consider great (“finish a career”, “start a family”, “start a business”…), but the truth is that it is the small achievements that have made you managed to get to where you are: make that decision that day, learn to do what helps you so much now, consolidate a friendship with that person…
Let’s not underestimate the small feats of each day These are some of the many premises based on coaching that can help you reflect on your life, your direction and your mental well-being.
Being a coach is more than knowing techniques
In the different training that we teach at school D’Arte Human Business School In addition to teaching the techniques and tools necessary to practice the profession of coach with the utmost ethics and rigor, we also ensure that the philosophical, anthropological and other branches of human knowledge on which coaching draws are known to enrich the work. professional coach, thus being able to do a better job of accompaniment.
