What Coaching Is
It's hard to add in teaching MORE fitness classes and training MORE clients when you don't have the energy or time for it....so I decided to go online to look for a solution.
When I started to work as an online Coach I thought, .."how the HECK am I supposed to follow these programs if I don't have time to add on one more thing!?!?!"
So I looked more into the nutrition part of Coaching and that's where I began.
I started bringing awareness to my overtraining and binge eating behaviors and I decided that if I was going to help others I needed to FIRST help myself.
I'm sure we have ALL used the phrase.."Do what I say, not what I do."...& yes, I used that phrase all too often when I was teaching 15+ classes a week and acting like I didn’t care about nutrition bc I "needed" the calories.
Over these last 8 years(& really the last 5) I've learned how to be more honest with myself and I now see what triggers those negative behaviors.
I've learned how to have boundaries and if I say yes to something it's not out of guilt or people pleasing, it's because I WANT to do it.
And it goes the same for NOT wanting to do something. I'm not selfish, I just know if I say yes for the wrong reasons then it's not my best self showing up. So I say "NO:..."not right now"....or "thank you for asking but I cannot commit to that."
Through Coaching I'm finally happy with myself, not just physically, but emotionally & financially too.
And that's what Coaching is.
It's finding who you are and how to best serve yourself and others.
So wherever you are today, don't be afraid to go after what you want in life. This time we have is short...and in 5 years you could look back and say...."I'm glad I gave it my all"....or "I should have gave it my all."
Maybe you are like me and curious about working Online helping yourself and others become healthier. I'd love to have a conversation. I have a in my bio for more info about it. Feel free to check it out! And don't worry about being a beginner...we ALL have a day one in this
