Do you ever have a feeling that you could live your life differently? Perhaps you would like to make a change in your work/life balance but don’t quite know how to start? Perhaps you’d like a career change or help returning to work after having children? Project You Coaching could be the answer.
Many of us live with a feeling that we’re not living the life we could; or that the choices we’ve made are wrong, but we can’t find a way out of the consequences of them. If that fits your situation then Project You Coaching may be for you.
Most life coaching is based on setting goals and motivating people to achieve them, which is a fabulous aim, but if our unconscious doesn’t think the direction we’re going in is a good idea then the chances are you’ll feel held back in some way. The way it often does this is to reduce our motivation for change or increase our anxiety. The great thing about Project You Coaching is that you can work through anything that might be unconsciously holding you back, whilst working twards really positive goals that we will have set. Therapeutic Coaching might be a good way to describe it.
So where most life coaching descriptions begin with “this is not therapy”, I don’t, because all Project You Coaches are trained Cognitive Hypnotherapists. We have a great range of tools at our disposal, so the edges of coaching and therapy become more blurred – because, when you think about it, people come to coaches because they want to be able to do something they don’t feel they can do. Very similar to the reason people come to a therapist.
So Project You Coaching is a model that has no limits on the techniques it can employ to help you get what you came for. It can be used to help you achieve a goal you have in mind, but it’s intended to do a lot more; it’s intended to give you the means of taking control of the way you live your life. This doesn’t involve anything weird or fluffy, it’s based on solid research that shows how people can improve their sense of contentment and happiness, and maximise the things they have going for them in the most productive way. In short it’s about you finding flow.
So what is Flow?
Flow is the sense of effortless action we feel in moments that we see as the best in our lives. Have you had one of those moments where you’re completely lost in the moment? Time seems to stop, everything seems effortless, and life feels right? That’s what we call a flow state. Sports coaches try to help their athletes achieve them during competition – and you know when you’re watching an athlete, or an actor, or a singer who’s in ‘the zone’. You could ask yourself: if you could live your life in flow, what wouldn’t be possible? Think about that. If your life could be full of those moments, is there a goal that you couldn’t achieve, a change you couldn’t make?
Is that possible?
There are things you need to learn about yourself that will make that possible, but I believe it is. Things don’t have to be easy, just possible. You have to decide if you want to risk the investment. You have to decide if you’re prepared to make the effort this demands. If you are, give me a call and we can discuss it in more detail.
Project You is a process with a series of steps that are adapted to fit your needs. Those steps are designed to achieve several things:
- Identify any limits your life has led you to believe are true and show you how to get rid of them. It will be explained to you how our beliefs aren’t true, they’re things the brain uses to help make sense of the world which we mistake for the truth of things. Our minds are plastic – they’re constantly changing. Understanding the nature of this plasticity means that changes in the way we think doesn’t have to take long to achieve.
- Identify the things about yourself that need to be harnessed for you to be able to create flow, and teach you how to do it.
- Assist you in identifying a direction in your life that your use of flow will create for you; a goal that is completely right for you.
