Life Coach Information And Advice
Are you looking to arrange an appointment with a life coach.
There are many people who feel they need a boost of
self-confidence or self-esteem. In this article I write about
some of the advice you may receive at these sessions.
I am one of these people who at many times in my life have felt
down and depressed about various issues that I have had in my
life. I have worked hard and had a lot of advice about how to
deal with these problems and am now far more confident and
content with life.
I always wanted to be liked by everyone and found it difficult
to say no when invited to say a party, even though in truth I
did not want to go. If I did decline an offer, I would feel
guilty and if for example a friend asked me why I did not want
to go and perhaps even called me boring for not going, I would
often end up changing my mind. This would be because I did not
want to be known as boring by anybody and also because I was
quite a weak and fragile person.
>From reading life coaching and positive thinking books, I
realised I had to become a far stronger person, more care-free
and to have more respect for myself. I decided that if I did not
want to go somewhere I wouldn't, whatever anyone said. This new
found attitude would not be easy to carry off but I was
determined to give it a go.
I was soon to be tested, it was at one of my friends(Ian)houses.
He was trying to organise a night out for the following
Saturday. I was not at all interested in going out on that
particular night for various reasons. Eventually Ian asked if I
wanted to go and I said that I didn't. That answer was not
enough for him and he proceeded to question my reasons for not
wanting to go. I felt all of the eyes of the people present
descend on me and I felt quite awkward. Normally in this
situation I would give some excuse but instead I asked him why I
needed to give a reason and why my answer of no was not enough
for him. He seemed quite shocked at my strong response and moved
on to question and nag someone else.
I felt proud of my success and have continued to adopt a similar
attitude since.
