Life Coaching, Health, and Success

Life Coaching, Health, and Success
Why is change so difficult? There is a dark secret that
tries to hold us back from all the good we so richly
deserve.

We are born with the innate ability to overcome any human
hardship whether it be social, emotional, mental, physical,
or financial. The key has to be discovered on our own
personal journey.

Year after year books are published promising happiness,
joy, prosperity, love and health. They just don't tell us
how to do it. Oh, yes, they tell us to think positive or
forget about the past. They offer us chants and "powers"
and even "secrets".

Here's the real secret…As long as your heart or mind or
body remembers that negative incident from how ever long
ago, your ability to change will not be at hand.

In this article I will show you how my life coaching
process will help you have more health, success, and
prosperity.

I've been a social worker for 37 years. Most of you think
you know what a social worker does. My approach has been
different.

This is what you don't know about me as a social worker: I
work with all these people known as the dregs of society,
the losers. I've worked with them for decades. And you know
what? Many of them have found a way to unlock their dark
secret for recovery and healing.

You'll hear more about that later. But for now, just begin
to think there is a way beyond the pain and into a new
life, no matter how far down you've fallen.

Listen for a moment to Kirsten L, a current client of mine,
explain the impact of life coaching:

"I have been visiting with Gary Eby weekly over the last 8
months. During these visits I have learned numerous skills
all of which have been life changing."

"Gary Is teaching me how to live with my negative side,
AKA--the dark secret."

"Everyone of us has a negative side, but through the 'Stop
and Think' process I have learned three steps how to
control it."

"I have learned how to handle anger, set healthy
boundaries, and how to have better relationships."

So, when we are triggered by our negative side or dark
secret, try my stop and think process that includes these
following steps:

1. Slow down and take deep breaths: Hold the inhale for
three seconds and than exhale slowly for 6.

2. Say a mantra of your choosing.

3. Reach out for help to a positive person.

This process that I am calling emotional recovery coaching
hopefully will start you on a journey to achieving more
health, success, and prosperity.
