Ten Reasons Why I Love Being A Holistic Lifestyle Coach

‘to be able to help someone become a happier and healthier version of themselves… there is no better feeling’

Coaching and personal training were definitely not on my agenda a few years ago.

You wouldn’t have caught me dead saying… ‘enjoying exercise, being mindful, or eating “healthily”. I was always either one extreme or the other, no balance, extremely stressed and didn’t know how to manage my problems or anxiety. It would have been useful to have the tools I now know at age 17+.

That’s what I think is amazing and fascinating about life. You never know where it’s going to take you.

I am incredibly lucky and grateful that I love what I do. I know what it feels like to dread going into work and be frustrated that you aren’t contributing to something you are passionate about.

I turned that passion into reality and the reality means that I am fortunate enough to love what I do. Here are ten reasons why…

1. I get to see the mind and body work its magic and do as they are intended to do — as we know the mind and body work in tandem. They are a dynamic duo. Watching what they were naturally meant to do is pretty awe-inspiring and special
2. I am appreciated — strange but true. In so many jobs you can feel as if you are lost and undervalued, particularly in big companies. It is a lovely feeling when clients value you and what you do for them. It’s a real boost to know that you are doing your job properly and it is being appreciated
3. I learn so much about people — interacting with people so regularly and personally means that I have learnt something from every single client. Learning about their stories, careers, highs and lows. It makes you realise how everyone is on their own journey in life and makes you appreciate how unique we all are
4. I get to see my clients go on a journey — witnessing the journey my clients go on is a privilege. Seeing them go from one form of themselves to another is breathtaking
5. I am rewarded regularly when clients achieve goals — in a job it is important to feel or be rewarded for your hard work. Watching clients hit their targets, feel more relaxed, lose inches, tone up and become happy and healthy is incredibly rewarding
6. I get to see my clients blossom — as mentioned above, not only watching the clients journey but seeing a sort of metamorphosis right before your eyes is beautiful. I get to watch that person grow and develop into the happiest and healthiest version of themselves
7. I learn about myself daily — it’s not just the clients that go on a journey. I do too. Not only do I have to practice what I preach but I am constantly working on and refreshing my professional and personal development. I learn what works, what doesn’t work, what my strengths and weakness are and so much more
8. I have constant inspiration — my clients are my inspiration. I am not a perfect human and sometimes hit a wall with my own progression and development. If my clients can do it, I know that I can
9. I can use my passion and knowledge to help someone else — to be able to share my passion as a job is so fulfilling. Not only that, but my passion and knowledge has such a profound effect on the person I am sharing it with. It will help them for the rest of their life
10. I have the ability to impact someones life — it is pretty crazy to think that after some time with my clients I can impact their lives positively. I can make them healthier, feel confident, help them reduce stress and give them the tools that allow them to live happier and healthier lives
