The divorce is over, or nearly so. You have cried, you have gotten angry; you have gone through the grieving stages. Now, like a rainbow after a storm, the hope of a better future begins to attract your thoughts. You may even have pondered the possibility of getting excited about your life again.

Do you want to live? Do you want to be happy? Are you ready to surround yourself with people who actually love you, who support and encourage you and help you to be the best you can be? Has the time come to take better care of yourself so that the decisions you make today and in the future come from a healthier perspective?

Then you may want to make one of the best choices in your life to care for your future – this is where coaching is so powerful. Unlike counseling that focuses on pain and emotional wounds; coaching focuses on providing clarity, direction and plans of action to get you the desired results you want for your life.

Here are just a few examples of how a coach can help you as you emerge victoriously into your new life.

Evaluate the People in Your Life

A coach will help you evaluate the people in your life. By looking at your needs we will look at the factors in your life that are strengthening or weakening your chances of getting those met. When you know what your deepest needs are you will gain a clearer perspective of understanding why certain relationships are either working for you or not. You may have a strong need for encouragement but you are surrounded by friends that are pulling you down. So you will need to concentrate your time on people that have more positive approaches to life and fill your with them.

Evaluate your Environment

A coach will help you evaluate your environment in your life. By looking at your living space first, then your work space, your automobile space, the places you visit the most we will establish the kind of atmosphere that helps you thrive or brings you down. We will see what you need to get rid of or get more of to so that your spaces energize you, or enhance your life in some way. While you are doing this we will also look at any activities that you are involved in that needs evaluating as well. This is what we call the de-cluttering process and work toward creating a fresh beautiful space in which to build a better life.

Evaluate the things you Really Love

A coach will help you evaluate the things in your life that you really love. With a fresh start, you can begin to experiment with the activities and projects you used to love when you were really being yourself or new ones to see if they are a part of who you are becoming. We will set goals and plans move you toward a new authentic life that reflects you.

Evaluate the "Hats" You're Wearing

If you have spent a part of your life being wife, mother, volunteer, employee, and daughter and on and on we will look at “who” you are as a person and not the “hats” you have or are wearing. It is often easier to go along with the roles that are pre-defined for us than to take time out to know ourselves and make ourselves a priority. I would ask you if this has served you well? And has this served those around you well? The truthful answer is probably – no. We will look at what can change to serve you well. When you have a great relationship with yourself, then your happiness is not dependent on what other do.
