If you’re looking for practical, actionable answers to reducing stress and living a more fulfilling life, DIY Resilience coaching and community is for you.

But how do you know when working with a resilience coach is a better choice to get the answers you need for better mental and physical health?

Here are a few tips to help you sort this important question out:

• The mental and emotional health challenges you’re dealing with are relatively mild.

A free assessment with a coach can help demystify where you are right now. It matters that you gain an understanding of how best to proceed. You might benefit from coaching, formal therapy, or a combination of both. I will not hesitate to refer you to a therapist or program that best meets your current needs.

 

• You would like a short-term approach or a long-term partner to help mentor your personal growth and development.

We all need a little help now and then.

Sometimes a little well-timed assistance is enough to remove doubt and build confidence in your road ahead, and that’s all you need.

There can also be important reasons that you, or someone you care for, would want to work with a coach long-term on time-management, stress reduction and confidence building. Life can become overwhelming when life challenges are permanent.

Short-term or long-term, coaching is an option worth checking out.

 

• You are willing to do some homework, journaling, self-reflection and self-assessments, reading, or other work to help overcome personal challenges.

 

Change takes some work. Once we agree on a course of action, we can also determine a pace that is comfortable to you. Education and self-reflection aids in building your self-awareness, and self-awareness is a key pillar to the DIY Resilience process.

 

• You want to improve your stress management

Life includes stress and challenge. Whether you learned coping skills as a child or not, traumatic or extreme challenges occur in life that are disorienting at best.

Long-term stress also damages the physical body and mind, and has been shown to lead to chronic heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes and mental health disorders.

The key is to identify your stressors, learn to calm at the first sign, and begin to turn new positive habits into a life-long routine.

I will help you personalize an approach you can live and live happier with.

 

• You want to clarify values, goals, and purpose

Whether you feel you have too many or too few options, the quicker you can clarify what you care about, what you believe and where you want to go in life the more likely you are to get there.  Let’s work together to define your road to better days.

 

• You would like practical ways to address your personal challenges

Some solutions are the hardest to see even when they’re standing right in front of you. Others are so complex that solutions are hard to tease out on your own. Big or small, I help you find fresh perspectives, new avenues to pursue, and assist you in identifying core issues, key steps, and a full plan toward personal success.
