Stress and Anxiety

Stress and Anxiety

You cannot always control what goes on outside. But you can always control what goes on inside.

Wayne Dyer

We all feel stress and anxiety at some time or another in our lives. For some people, it will be triggered by an event such as a job interview, a house move, or an illness. There are lots of situations that can cause us to feel stressed for a short period of time. For others though the condition is more debilitating and can be a problem that can have serious consequences for our health and well-being.

There are various ways that Life coaching can deal with stress and anxiety but as everybody is different what causes stress for one person won’t affect another and this applies to coaching as well. I can tailor each coaching package for an individual to address their specific needs rather than a one size fits all approach.

Coaching aids in identifying goals, making commitments to them, and sticking to them so that you obtain your desired outcome. Coaching not only works on the practical side of achieving your desired goals, but it also helps you to understand your mindset, helping you to improve every area of your life.
