Being You

The Canalside Life Coach Guide to Being You

Understand what Being You means

We usually ask "Who am I" when bumping up against an issue in our life, perhaps not for the first time. Some cultures and philosophies have this question as a part of a spiritual and emotional journey, yet in the "West" this deeper part of being alive is almost ignored, unless you seek it out.

Being You by being sincere

Self awareness is the beginning of a healthy relationship with yourself - being aligned with your Values and comfortable in your own skin - at peace, calm.

Being able to recognize your own thoughts and feelings can allow you to become a more genuine person, which can then help you be more sincere when you're dealing with others.

Sincerity identifies strength in communication and interaction with others, but it ultimately begins with yourself.

Alongside your personal coach, NLP/NEURO LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING can make the changes you want to behaviour, beliefs and habits from the inside, as long as you use

  • the 3 R's to focus on taking personal Responsibility, being Ready to change, Being the Real You

and

  • the 2 Ws - The Will and Want to do the "change Work "

WHO IS AT THE WHEEL OF YOUR BOAT? IS IT YOU?

Take time to do some self reflection

  • think about your strengths and weaknesses and be aware of them when you are interacting with other people

  • make a list of your values

When you live in line with your values, you are more likely to live a genuine and sincere life.

Ask yourself:

  • Do I want to become more confident? which part of my life will benefit the most? what kind of confidence?

  • Do I need a specific skill to move on in my life? how can I learn it? who do I know that has it? are there resources I can use?

  • Do I want to be happier? what does it mean for me, in my life now? can I find out from others how to "DO" it?

  • Do I want to be more motivated? how can I create the emotional, physical or intellectual energy that I need?

  • Do I want better communication skills? which of these can I focus on and be a bit better at now?

Positive Thinking Strategies

A positive mindset has been a phrase for many years - can you benefit from positive thinking strategies that will help in Being You?

This is where your personal responsibility comes in - your results in a personal coaching experience will benefit from recognising that your "self talk" can be one of two choices:

  • positive, where you take ownership, accountability and responsibility for your emotions

Or

  • if you're not taking responsibility you probably unwittingly are in denial or have well rehearsed reasons, often out of habit - and you will be feeling one or more negative emotions.

To get into a positive state ask yourself

  • What outcome do I want?

Or

  • What action can I take? and plan to skill up for?

And

  • Where can I source the resources I need? Who can I ask for help or advice?

5 star review from Rachael Pritchard, Holistic Therapist, Mother Nature's Remedies UK:

"This guide came just at the right time for me, I was feeling more than a little jaded but too busy focusing on everyone else's needs.

I found it very useful looking at my values and breaking down negative thought cycles. The chapters on Boundaries and addressing Worklife really resonated with me and helped me recognise & acknowledge worth in my non paid roles and my life outside of my profession.

It was easy to read and provided tips & strategies to try along the way"
