How to Enhance Your Life with the 10 Dimensions of Wellness

What is wellness?

Wellness is something that you choose to pursue. It’s a choice you make in life that requires constant effort to achieve. Wellness goes beyond general health. It encompasses a positive outlook on your mind, body, and soul. 

Wellness is dynamic and exciting. It’s comprised of emotional, environmental, financial, intellectual, occupational, physical, social, and spiritual factors.

Holistic Coaching vs Therapy

Therapists and counselors are recognized as experts who focus largely on cleaning up or completing old issues.

Coaching takes a different approach, reaching into the magical realms of manifestation, designing one’s life, and forwarding action to realize one’s dreams.

Coaches act as partners, helping clients to recognize their own abilities to find the right direction and to address challenges along the way.

Coaches are works in progress. They are in-the-making models of what it means to learn fully, be fully effective, and be on the path to creating a more and more joyful and fulfilling life. Therapists only model living what they view as normal.

How to Combine Coaching & Training

Do you classify yourself as a trainer or a coach?  Or, are you both?  Does it matter?

Although there are different definitions of a “coach” and a “trainer” we have simplified it here for demonstration purposes.

Is Everything “Holistic” Coaching?  Should it be?

by

Is everything "holistic" coaching?  Should it be?
We’re serious about the statement that everything is “holistic” coaching.

You will likely agree once you read our reasoning.

As coaches, we strive to optimize the results for our clients, regardless of their desired objective.  You and I both know that there must be some type of balance and harmony for your clients while they pursue their dreams.

That’s an aspect of holism.

Even in cases when someone has massive goals such as doing the Ironman triathlon, writing a best-selling book, or building a new business; there must be some holistic balance.
