Visualize The Coach You Desire To Be<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Create the clear vision of who and where you want to be in 6 months. One of the visualization tools in the Become a Health Coach course (the Mental Rehearsal technique) will help you do just that. Using visualization often\u2014we recommend practicing daily, will reinforce the goals you want to reach and build the confidence you desire.<\/p>\n<p>Take five minutes a day to close your eyes and imagine yourself a year from now. What does your life as a coach look like? How many clients do you have? See a specific number written down and imagine yourself working with amazing clients.<\/p>\n<p>How do you present yourself? How do you feel? Seeing what you look like, and visualizing the positive feelings you will have as a confident coach will help reprogram your brain to that state of mind.

Positive Affirmations<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Here\u2019s a pro tip &#8211; YOU have to be your biggest cheerleader! It\u2019s not always easy though, which is why using daily affirmations will help remind yourself of your strengths, passions, and drive helping you become the most confident coach.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a couple affirmations to get you started:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Everyday is a learning experience and I look at it as an opportunity to grow.<\/li>\n<li>I deserve to be happy and successful.<\/li>\n<li>I am confident, smart and capable. Look at everything I have already achieved.<\/li>\n<li>I believe in my skills and abilities. I will always find a way to figure it out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong style=\"color: #9d1e65; font-size: 18px;\">3.) Listen To Your Intuition<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Listening to your intuition is what brought you here. You\u2019re passionate about health, wellness, and coaching, and there\u2019s no bigger confidence boost than pursuing and doing what you love! If you are feeling less than confident, check in with yourself &#8211; what is your heart telling you to do? Take some time to write about it and freely get out what\u2019s on your mind.<\/p>\n<h3><strong style=\"color: #9d1e65; font-size: 18px;\">4.) Embrace Your Imperfections<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Confidence comes not from always being right, but from not fearing being wrong. <\/em><br \/>\n<em>&#8211; Peter T. Mcintyre<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a secret&#8230;nobody\u2019s perfect! If you allow it, imperfection and failure can be a strong tool to building your confidence. Embrace your imperfections and do what\u2019s right for you. This will help boost your confidence. Also, recognize when you\u2019re getting caught in the comparison game. Keep your eyes on your own paper, and stay on your path. Comparing yourself to other coaches, will only hinder your greatness.<br \/>\nTake your mistakes (and the mistakes of others) and turn them into learning experiences.
