One of the key ways to understand the sequence of how someone is thinking is by watching where a person glances when they are thinking or responding.
As you will see by the following chart: when we think in pictures our eyes will be above the eye line or straight ahead and defocused; the eyes will be moving side to side and ear level for processing in words and sounds; and when our eyes are looking down we are processing in our emotions and feelings.
Sleep is natural, easily reversible periodic state of mind of an individual that is marked by the absence of wakefulness and by the loss of consciousness of one’s surroundings, is accompanied by a typical body posture, the occurrence of dreaming, and changes in brain activity is called as sleep.
Sleep keeps us healthy and functioning better. It lets our repair, restore and reenergizes body and brain. If you do not get enough sleep of almost 8 hours you may find side effects like poor memory and loss of focus, weakened immunity, and instant mood changes. [Read more…]

It has been said that real change has to connect with the heart for it to occur or endure. That sounds really nice, but it’s not the whole picture. The truth is, change starts just as much in the brain than anywhere else in the body. Referencing the heart addresses our need for a warm feel-good requirement in our coaching sessions but the truth is, there is a lot of science behind the change. And it mostly comes from the brain.

Hemispheric Integration is a revolutionary technology discovered and developed by Allen C. Sargent, author of The Other Mind’s Eye: The Gateway to the Hidden Treasures of Your Mind. This book is included FREE when you enroll in the Life Strategies Coach Training Program and Certification.
Hemispheric Integration with neuro-linguistics is founded on the scientific principles of how the brain processes information and influences thinking patterns. Once we understand this structure – limiting beliefs, phobias, and traumas can be resolved, and the client is then free to create lasting change, now and in the future. These tools and techniques can be used as a valuable adjunct in psychotherapy, and stand alone at the cutting edge in the evolution of personal growth. [Read more…]
Pacing and leading is the concept of aligning and establishing rapport, then leading the interaction in a more useful direction or towards a particular goal. We do this by using the skills of mirroring/ matching, aligning with breathing and rhythm, using our listening skills for honoring another person’s experience of reality, then leading the conversation and interaction to the intended outcome using our precise language skills.

Sports psychology applies to a broad population base. Although some professionals use sports psychology to help elite athletes achieve peak performance, many other sport psychologists are concerned more with children, people who have physical or mental disabilities, seniors, and recreational participants.
More and more sport psychologists have focused on the psychological factors involved in exercise and health, developing strategies for encouraging sedentary people to exercise or assessing the effectiveness of exercise as a treatment for depression. To reflect this broadening of interests, the field is now called sport and exercise psychology. Some individuals focus only on the exercise and health-related aspects of the field. [Read more…]
Stress-related sleep disorders are on the rise today. Our hectic routines have made it difficult for us to get proper rest. With every passing day, people are becoming more negligent towards their health.

All coaches must understand stress management and how it’s connected to personal success, performance, fulfilling relationships, and optimal sleep health.
To begin with, it is essential to differentiate between acute stress and chronic stress. Short-term stress may be beneficial or protective; it is merely like ringing the alarm bell in response to a specific threat. Acute stress is also called “fight or flight response.” It provides a short burst of energy, helping ward off the danger. The short-term adrenalin rush mainly characterizes such an acute reaction.
However, chronic stress is altogether a different thing; it is like keeping the alarm button pressed continually, and in many cases for no apparent reason, just due to a perceived threat. The human body is not created to remain in a state of psychological and physiological alarm continually. [Read more…]
