Living well amidst life's imperfections

As human beings, we are uniquely hard-wired to seek purpose and meaning in our lives.

Purpose and meaning are defined for each of us by our values. Said another way, when we can make choices that align with our values, we are living with purpose and meaning. When in this mode, you are living a lifestyle of healthy wellbeing. Wellbeing is not about having perfect health and without difficult challenges or obstacles. It is about living well amidst life’s imperfections.

Did you set goals for this year? Of course you did. We all do. Which of your big goals for 2017 have been completed so far? How about the ones from 2016, 2015, or further back? If you are like most, you have one or more unmet goals. Most frequently these are important goals tied to improving wellbeing to live a happy, full, and balanced life.

So -- if we have these important wellbeing goals -- why do so many of us struggle to meet them? Very often we set these aside to a future date when we think we’ll have more time. Other times, the goals seem so big or fuzzy, we aren’t quite sure where to start. How then can we find the time, clarity, energy, inspiration, and motivation to tackle our goals in the present? By adding health & wellness coaching into your personal toolkit for success.

In the coaching relationship, you are recognized as the expert in your life. Your coach’s expertise lies in the collaborative and co-creative partnership with you specific to your personal wellness goals. Using evidence-based scientific principles and processes, you will discover your strengths, values, and priorities. You will emerge from your coaching experience with a higher state of health and wellbeing along with permanently reusable skills for future goals.
