Today's episode of Be Well With Steph, The Podcast is dedicated to all of the millennial women out there who are feeling stuck in their health goals. Do you ever feel frustrated... or defeated... or maybe even a little bit lost when it comes to trying to make healthy changes stick? If you do, don't worry because you are not alone, you're actually in the majority. So today we're going to talk about how you could adjust your mindset and get back on track to achieve your health goals, and how the help of a coach just might help.
First of all, let's acknowledge that taking care of our health is not always easy, especially in today's world. We are bombarded with conflicting information, especially on social media. Every time I jump on Instagram myself, I see someone who is selling me the latest plan or program or lifestyle change, including me. I also see people having these huge physical transformations or talking about how dramatically their lives have improved. And it can begin to feel overwhelming.
Whenever you compare your beginning to someone else's middle or end, there's that sense of defeat, that is not exactly helpful to making you feel inspired or motivated. We also have super busy schedules. And there seems to be this badge of honor that comes with being busy or being the most exhausted. But it often leaves us feeling like we don't have enough time or energy to prioritize our well being. Does this ever feel like you? The truth is though, that investing in our health is one of the most important things that we can do for ourselves and it does not have to be a struggle.
5 main reasons why people hire a health coach:
A coach is someone who can guide and support you in achieving your health goals. Whether though those are managing your weight, building muscle, improving your nutrition or your sleep, boosting your energy or simply feeling better in your own skin. A coach can help you set realistic goals, create a personalized plan and then hold you accountable along the way.
Personalized guidance and support: A health coach can help you create a personalized plan that is tailored to your specific needs and goals and preferences. A coach can also provide ongoing guidance and support and accountability as you work toward that health goal.
Expertise and knowledge: A health coach has specialized training and training in areas such as nutrition, fitness, stress management and behavior change. They can help you navigate the often confusing world of health and wellness and provide evidence based strategies that work.
Time-saving: A health coach can help you save time by providing you with a plan that's efficient and effective. There is no more trial and error Are no more throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what will stick. They can help you prioritize your time and focus on the activities that will have the most impact on your particular health.
Motivation and encouragement: We are like your own personal cheerleader. A health coach can provide motivation, encouragement and positive reinforcement. As you work toward your health goals. Sometimes a coach can see your small successes and your small wins from the outside better than you can on the inside. You're thinking about your big goals and your big wants and desires. Sometimes it's easy to get really bogged down in those, a health coach can help you to stay on track, even when things get tough.
Long-term results: We are not selling you a quick fix, it is not necessarily going to be simple. But a health coach can help you make sustainable lifestyle changes that lead to long term health benefits. By working with a coach, you develop healthy habits that stick with you for the rest of your life.
So... let me ask you this:
How long have you been trying to achieve health goals on your own?
Have you started and stopped?
Do you feel discouraged even talking about health goals?
Or do you feel disinterested in improvement?
How much time and energy have you already invested in trying to figure this out on your own?
Maybe your answer is "Great. When I commit, I do make great success at my health goals. And I can do this on my own".
And if that's you, you are a champion among women, and we applaud you.
But if it is not you, you don't need to feel badly about that.
You don't need to feel discouraged. You don't need to feel like you are doing it alone.
Coaching is an investment in yourself and in your health. It's a way to streamline your efforts and maybe pick up the pace a little bit on your progress, and achieve your goals with the guidance and support of someone who's been there before.
So if you have improving your wellness on your heart, but you're feeling kind of stuck in your journey, I genuinely encourage you to consider coaching. It doesn't have to be me. Find a coach who resonates with you who understands your goals and your struggles, who has a track record of helping people achieve their own goals. And then take the leap. Enroll in coaching and commit to the process and watch as your health and your life transform.
Remember, you deserve to feel your best. And investing in your health is one of the most important things that you can do for yourself. You can do this. And we can even do this together.
