Self-Awareness: A Key to Success in Life Coaching
One obstacle to achievement is lack of vision. When the destination is not clear, how can people ever arrive? So many distractions demand people’s attention—factors that may or may not help them down the road toward what they really want. When people know their destination, they can say, “no,” to detours and take meaningful steps forward. Increasing one’s self-awareness can combat life’s distractions and help people stay focused on what they want from life.
Life’s goals and destinations should be founded upon people’s values, priorities, weaknesses, and strengths. Often, life operates more efficiently when this is so. There are a number of ways that life coaches can help people increase their self-awareness and understanding of these values, priorities, weaknesses, and strengths. One of the most effective is the “Miracle Question.” The basic task of the miracle question is to imagine what could be. Suspend reality for a moment and wonder, what would happen if a miracle occurred and your life were exactly how you wanted it to be? What would be different? The miracle question can come in a variety of forms. For example,
- If you could pursue any educational opportunity, what would it be (if time and finances were not factors)?
- Where would you want to live if you could reside anywhere in the world? Why?
- What is your dream vacation? How long would it be? Where would you go? Who would go with you?
- What is your ideal relationship? What type of romantic relationships would your purse? Friendships? Family dynamics?
Think right now about how you would answer these. Daily life can stifle dreaming, imagining, and hope, but these are important. They show people what they value, where their priorities are. Life coaches can also lead their clients through exercises to show them their strengths and weaknesses so that they can map out a path toward their goals.
The Importance of Setting Goals
It takes a lot of effort to set well-formed goals that ring true to people’s priorities and values. Is it worth the effort? Yes, absolutely, significant research has shown that people who set regular goals are also higher achievers. A few reasons for this dynamic may be because goals…
