How Life Coaching Changed My Life

It must be said that many people have had hardships in their lives. Each of us feeling we've had it the worst.  Maybe you have depending on your circumstances.  But for each of us the experience is daunting, painful and in some cases carries a bit of shame. How could I let this happen to me? In some instances, We cry out to our God and ask why me? But for me, although I was angry and felt so betrayed, I felt I had to say Al Hamdulilah because I didn't know why it happened to me because I couldn't see the bigger picture,  but I felt in heart that there was a reason and I needed to understand why?

 

I have always been a curious child and even into my adulthood. The resounding "Why". And there's never really an answer, but beneath the surface there lies a truth for many of us that is often to difficult or painful to deal with. It is our subconscious childhood traumas that we carry with us, as a suitcase filled with jump ropes, hulla hoops, our favorite Teddy bears and blankets because these were the things that brought us joy and comfort.  But when I unpacked my suitcase I realized that there was so much more I was carrying that was weighing me down. This would impact how I saw myself and how I thought others saw me. It also determined what I thought I was worth. And let me tell my value in that suitcase was zero.

 

But why? I would never have come to understand the emotional baggage that was weighing me down until I began my life coaching certification. I learned about limiting beliefs and how it played such a major role in how I was walking in this life. I was walking around stained with shades of my past, bent from the weight of emotions that were too heavy to carry and nearly broken by a lack of self-love and self-determination. 

 

I thought I was doing great. I thought I had my dream career as a journalist. I am working for the number one global network in the world. And yet my life did not feel complete. There was something missing but I didn't know what it was. The only thing I did know was that I enjoyed when people came to me with their problems and I could help them by just listening to them and being curious about their situation.It wasn't until a colleague of mine told me that I'd make a great life coach. I had no idea what she was talking about. I had never even heard about life coaching. Then every where I turned online, I'd see advertisements for Empower World and I decided to take a chance. It was the best decion I've ever made. I learning so much about myself and what I needed and wanted in my life. I also learned out to let go of the things and people that no longer serve me. It changed my perspective. It made me realise that I was not living my truth or my purpose. The learning I got from the course really opened my eyes and my heart to the fact that my happiness,  my joy was truly in helping people.  Helping them get grounded in their truth and purpose so that they could live in peace. Peace was something I never had, but becoming a Life Coach allowed me to see the real me, my true purpose and that changed my life forever.  I am no longer existing, I'm living a full life that I created for myself to grow. It taught me how to truly love myself, set boundaries and realize the amazing impact I can have on people's lives and for that I am forever grateful.
