Only three questions you need to self-coach yourself!
Though hiring a coach is still not very common in many parts of the world, I wonder how useful it would be to make some coaching concepts be available to everyone for self use. This includes questioning, listening and reflecting candidly, for gaining increased awareness and knowing your hidden spots. Here are three carefully curated most important questions you can ask yourself to self coach, whenever you want, though daily would be the best.
1. How resilient I am today?
Your level of resilience is what makes you keep moving and growing in your life. When you regularly pause and reflect on this aspect, it will not only give you more resilience power naturally but will also help to know your priorities. You can further expand on this question to make it more specific as per your life context, for example, how resilient I am today -
1. To take care of my physical, mental, emotional and spiritual requirements
2. To accept what is and to question what is not true
3. To focus and enjoy on the process (rather outcome)
4. To be enthusiastic
5. To listen and serve others well
6. To see what is working well in all situations
2. What strengths can I use today?
One of the pre-requisite of this question is some level of inner work to know your strengths, for example you may identify seeing big picture, letting go, strategic and long term thinking, connecting the dots, curious to learn and leveraging others as some of your key strengths. When you ask this question yourself, it not only makes you more resourceful but also make the muscles of your strengths more stronger.
3. Who I can be today?
Last but not the least, this question will help setting the tone for the day and help you to live as your best self. Here you may decide to be more mindful, centered, authentic, vulnerable, operate with compassion or just be more open and appreciative. This intention will become your guide and direct you with higher conscious to make it much more easier to get into the flow for achieving whatever you really want.
I would like to finish by saying that it may not be a bad idea to send yourself a calendar for a self coaching session to avoid forgetting about it. So when are you planning your first session with yourself ?
