I posted a short article on the MyLifeCoach.com blog, on the Top 5 Backdoor Methods to Holistic Health and Self-Development…
These are all goals that have handles…Things you can grab onto and manipulate and try and improve in your life.
These are also all goals that require you to transform on the inside, in order to see sustained results on the outside. They also require many different “systems” within you to be functioning well, in order to see the outward results.
Some of these systems include:
- Self-esteem
- Emotional energy management
- Transcending fear/ego
- Opening the heart/accessing core energies
- Positive focus
Sometimes this “internal work” happens under the surface. You may not even be conscious of it, but shifts that need to happen will happen, in order to support you in your new goal.
Sometimes, the internal work makes itself known, and you come to realize that, for example, in order to reach my external goal of always being at peace with my family, I will have to forgive my parents.
In a way, this is a large part of how all coaching works. You pick visions/goals to work on that are in alignment with your highest values, and to really see change in those areas, internal work also needs to happen. All of a sudden all areas of life seem to be running so much more smoothly!
That’s why coaching can be so powerful, stealth-style!
