Not everyone is ready for health coaching, and that’s okay.
If you are unsure about what changes you do or don’t want to make for your health, or if you want to make them at all then you may be in the…
pre-contemplation stage of change
If you desire, (and if not, that’s okay too) to move past this place and explore the possibility of health coaching someday, here are some things to think about…
- What do I stand to lose in 5 years, by keeping things exactly as they are?
- If you know someone who has made positive changes for their health, what benefits do you think they gained?
- What consequences do you think your current state of health has on you or your loved ones?
- How could your life become more ideal if you made healthy changes?
- What things exist close to where you live that might make it easier to change your health? (Are there walking trails, groups to join, classes to take?)
Sometimes, people are ready to learn but not act. If that sounds like you, here is some more information to get familiar with coaching.
