Best Self Better Results

If you want to work towards being your best self and achieve your best results yet, then this blog is for you.

I am an experienced professional executive coach who specialises in individual improvement using an eclectic range of tools from psychology including Neuro Linguistic Programming, Solutions Focused Coaching and Mindfulness. The people that I coach achieve the results that they want.

We all need to coach ourselves if we are to achieve our best self best results yet. This is because you know yourself better than anyone and this foundation approach is a must even if you decide to recruit a professional coach to help you. This will help you to achieve results on a consistent and ongoing basis.

So how do I coach myself? In this blog I share with you some of the daily habits that I do, aside from having regular professional coaching myself.

Each year, in January, I ask myself what my best self would look, sound and feel like twelve months from now. Using the senses is a powerful way to bring my vision to life. The answers serve as qualitative data and information about what will be happening a year from now when my vision is achieved. A year is a good timescale to work with as research shows that this is an optimal time for our brains to handle.

For me, as a kinaesthetic person, I write this out as a story. If you are more of a visual thinker you might draw a picture or assemble a collage of you and your life a year from now.

Again research shows that once we are clear about the 'end in mind' (begin with the end in mind is one of Stephen Covey's Seven Habits of Effective People) the mind looks for all of the options and ways that we might achieve that end in mind.

My advice would be to start making notes on what comes up for you once you have your vision. You can turn these options into an action plan over say a month. I would advise that you take baby steps so that you feel that the actions are achievable and are therefore more likely to do them.

If you would like some help to get crystal clear on your direction and outcome as well as help in getting there, please get in touch via enquiries@westofenglandcoachingandcounselling.co.uk. All coaching starts with a complimentary consultation. Following this meeting sessions can take place face to face or remotely.
