How does life coaching help you overcome your obstacles?
In times of distress, it is normal to seek help – help from people that can guide you through this irksome phase of your life. Although self-coaching is one way out of distress, at times your ‘limiting beliefs’ or ‘self-talk’ could become a barricade in overcoming obstacles. These limiting beliefs question one’s abilities, enticing insecurities and lowering one’s confidence. It is, therefore, essential to seek life coaching in order to rid oneself of these limiting beliefs and fight all insecurities. Life coaching from an expert assists in the following ways.

Clarity
The obstacles that you might face can either be due to external or internal sources. External sources may be money, time or relationships. Internal sources may be one’s fears and insecurities – limiting beliefs. Life coaching will help with defining these sources and clarifying what goals must be set in order to achieve what one ought and ought not to do under such circumstances. Setting up a clear goal will help you work towards achieving it. Clarity is essential to identify the exact source of distress or obstacles, prior to seeking a way out of it.
Bridging
Life coaching will also help you with bridging the gap between your present situation in life and the futuristic position that you wish to achieve. This may be done through visualization; you may be asked by your life coach to see yourself in that particular position in your head. Imagining oneself in a position he/ she aspires to be in, is the first positive step toward the solution.
Strategies
Life coaching will help you overcome the obstacles through a series of strategies and techniques. You may be asked challenging questions, whereby responses may have to be well-thought out and structured in such a way that it allows you to explore yourself by digging deeper. You can hence, contemplate and choose the right path to take in life.

This type of support is necessary to give you that push or the pat on the back where you know that you are doing well.
