Throughout my journey, I've come to realize the immense value of having a health coach by my side from the very beginning. Someone who could have said, "Hey, Anastasia, it's not a good idea to binge eat and then punish yourself with a 10k run," or "Hey, Anastasia, it's not a great idea to party until 6 am and then hit the gym at 7 am." At times, the overwhelming amount of information and different opinions we encounter online, often showcasing a seemingly perfect lifestyle, can be misleading. The truth is, everyone has different lives, responsibilities, and unique circumstances.
That's why I've compiled five compelling reasons why I wish I had invested in a Health Coach when I embarked on my journey:
-
Expert Guidance: A Health Coach can provide invaluable guidance and education on the essentials of health and wellness. They can tailor the guidance to address the specific topics you need, offering insight that can steer you away from habits like "partying hard and then lifting weights."
-
Customized Plans: There's an undeniable beauty in commencing your journey with a customized plan that aligns with your needs. It allows you to start small and gradually discover what best suits your mind and body. This personalized approach significantly boosts your chances of achieving long-term success.
-
Motivation and Support: Health coaches offer unwavering support, motivation, and encouragement. They play a vital role in helping clients overcome obstacles and stay on course, particularly during challenging moments when the allure of reverting to old habits looms large.
-
Education: Many of us, myself included, wish we had learned about vital topics from the outset of our journey. Health coaches are equipped to provide education on subjects like the importance of quality sleep, the impact of stress, and various aspects of well-being. This knowledge is instrumental in guiding your path to lasting change.
-
Lasting Change: Lastly, the ability to maintain lasting change is a paramount goal. I, like many others, found myself hopping on and off the achievement bandwagon over the years, often unable to discover the equilibrium needed for happiness. Reflecting on my journey, I believe that the aforementioned four points would have been the keys to sustaining lasting transformations and avoiding setbacks.
We all require guidance in different aspects of our lives, and taking responsibility for this long-term change is our ticket to a healthier future.
