Health and Wellness Coaching: 

8 Keys to Success

PARTIAL, SNEAK PREVIEW

OF AUGUST ARTICLE

 IN ICCA MAG!

 

Clients who request wellness coaching may want you to address their physical, mental, emotional, relational, or spiritual health.They may be ready to assume responsibility for the quality of their life in such areas as weight, nutrition, physical activity, stress, joy, peace, social skills, or even spiritual disciplines. They might also need help with other health risk factors, such as their use of tobacco, alcohol, or drugs. If so, they may have related issues with self-esteem, perfectionism, fear, jealousy, depression, loneliness, or a faith challenge. Once this Pandora's box opens, you may be faced with their issues about insomnia, intimacy, sin, or their desire to discern their unique life purpose and make a significant contribution in the world. Bottom line, those coming to you with a wellness mindset are seeking more life satisfaction, and you'll need the wisdom of Solomon to coach them!

 

CALLOUT: Because you have asked for wisdom.... I will give you a wise and understanding heart! (1 Kings 3:10-12 NLT).

 

Regardless of its meandering trail, Health and Wellness Coaching is one of the most rewarding areas in the coaching field today. We get to wish our clients "Shalom," the Hebrew word for peace, wholeness, and wellness, which connotes far more than having an inner calm or the absence of outer conflict. It's striving to live in harmony with oneself, God, and others-it's a desire for health, fulfillment, and well being for all we meet. When we call upon God with the title Yahweh-shalom (yah-WEH sha-LOME) for our clients, we're beseeching The Lord is Peace in regard to their safety, satisfaction, prosperity, Christlike perfection, and completeness.

 

Whatever our clients' reasons are for choosing a healthy lifestyle, we're certainly privileged to walk alongside them, steering them in the direction of godly choices. Our role is to congratulate them for their desire to function optimally and, also, to help them examine their excuses, temptations, victim mentality, and other roadblocks. Our goal is to create a "holistic" action plan with them and encourage them to establish accountability with us and with others.
