In 2020, during the pandemic lockdown, I decided to invest in myself by completing training to become a certified life coach.

I started this journey to coach myself through a tough time and eventually began taking on a few clients.

Here are the top things I learned and how you can coach yourself.

What I Learned as a Certified Life Coach

Self-Awareness is Key

Understanding your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors is crucial. It helps you see patterns and areas that need improvement. Keep a daily journal to track your emotions and reactions. Reflecting on them weekly can provide valuable insights.

Setting Clear Goals

Having specific, measurable, and time-bound goals gives you direction and motivation. Break down big goals into smaller, manageable steps. Celebrate each milestone to keep your momentum going.
