How a Life Coach Can Help You Become More Resilient
Most of us have come across at least one person in our lives who seems unfazed by the challenges they face. Life knocks them down and they somehow get right back up and keep moving forward. Meanwhile, some of us can’t seem to shake off what we’re facing and often get buried beneath it.
When we see that resilient person, we think that they were born that way or that they are just stronger than the rest of us. Maybe we assume that they just don’t care like the rest of us do.
The truth, however, is that they have somehow found a way to recover and get back on track. They might have developed this earlier in life, but the good news is that you can, too. Therapist and life coach Nancy VanAman of the Tampa Bay area shares below how life coaching can assist in the development of resilience.
Learn Coping Skills
Challenges can be overwhelming. They can cause us to sink into anxious or depressing thoughts and rely on unhealthy coping mechanisms. Unfortunately, these tend to keep us stuck and overwhelmed. Life coaching can help you develop healthy and productive coping skills that pull you out of unhelpful thoughts.
Learn to Adjust
Sometimes the changes we face are only as overwhelming as they are because we have a static or fixed way of thinking. For a simple example, you might normally cook dinner for your family at 5 pm each night. One day, you have two sick kids, the phone won’t stop ringing, and the next thing you know it’s 6:30 pm.
If you have fixed thinking, you become overwhelmed with anxiety about how to feed your family that night. Flexible thinking would allow you to problem solve, with no overwhelm or anxiety necessary. Life coaching can help you learn to adopt a more flexible mindset so you can adjust as needed.
Improve Productivity and Mental Health
As you develop flexible thinking and healthy coping techniques, you struggle less with the emotional impact of those curveballs life likes to throw. You can then accomplish your goals as you adapt and have a brighter outlook.
These are just a few examples of how life coaching for resilience development works and can benefit you. Learn more by calling (813) 684-5048 to schedule a session with Nancy VanAman of the Tampa Bay area. She also provides services online.
