8 Coaching Tips to enhance personal growth

Coaching, as a profession dedicated to accompanying people to achieve their objectives and goals, uses specific tools and techniques for this purpose.

But, in addition, its influence and base in branches such as philosophy, anthropology or psychology, among others, makes it also use resources and premises from these to enhance its effectiveness. And many of them serve to promote personal development processes by building new habits.

Coaching tips to boost personal development

Coaching itself and its work have as their essence a series of arguments or postulates that any person can apply in their personal life to enhance their personal growth and increase their well-being mental. 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, they will hijack reasoning and that is when only problems are seen and solutions are covered.

It is important to learn to stop before the circumstances that are presented to us to give the necessary space to the action of 'thinking' and see reality in all its angles. Only in this way will we realize that not everything is a problem and that surely there are cracks of light.

2. Something is impossible because we minimize our capabilities

When we decide that 'I can't do this' or 'I'm not capable', the one who 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 fear bigger. A terrible vicious circle.

3. The first step is the hardest

How many objectives and goals remain only in the minds of people. If we are capable of taking 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 stays the same or that we are the same as always, we are wrong. It is not difficult for us to notice the physical changes of the passage of time, but our interior, our mind and subconscious evolve with the experiences lived, making us evolved people and adapted as much as possible to each time.

5. The world never turns its back on you

A rather defeatist premise is that "everyone is against me" or "life treats 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. Do not forget the most important love: self-love

We have an enormous capacity to love and we tend to pour it out on people from abroad, neglecting in many cases the most important person: ourselves. We must never forget about self-care because by loving ourselves well and more, we can also give others a love of the highest quality.

7. Do you expect miracles? Believe in yourself

Human existence itself is so amazing and wonderful that just the fact that each one of us exists should be considered a miracle. In this sense, being as important as each one of us is, 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 for the simple fact of existing.

8. You are here for all your achievements

When we take stock of our life, we tend to focus on the achievements that we consider great ("finishing a career", "forming a family", "starting a company"...), but the truth is that it is the small achievements that have gotten you where you are: making that decision that day, learning to do what helps you so much now, consolidating 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 formations that we impart in the school D'Arte Human Business School, in addition to teaching the techniques and tools necessary to practice the profession of coach from the highest ethics and rigor, we also take care that the philosophical, anthropological bases and other branches of human knowledge from which coaching draws are known to enrich the professional work of the coach, thus being able to do a better job of accompaniment.
