Do you feel you just cannot function until a cup of coffee revives your system first thing in the morning? Are you used to popping a painkiller everyday to keep you up and about all the time? Have you been resolving every New Year’s Eve to give up smoking or even to wake up early to hit the gym, but to no avail?

For that matter, do you stay awake too late every night and end up feeling drained all day? Are you unable to control your untimely cravings and find yourself binging on junk food very often?

Alas, we are a product of our habits and many of these can be our undoing as well. Just think - how easy it is to blame our obesity, lack of fitness or even lethargy on habits.

Seeking the right assistance

If you really want to change your habits but cannot figure out how to go about it or even where to start, a health coach can help you change your life for the better.

Don’t delude yourself that you know what needs to be done and you can do it on your own. The primary difference is that while you set big goals and fail to achieve them time and again, a health coach will help you take small steps that gradually evolve into the huge habit change that you always dreamed of.

The coach first aims to understand you completely - from your work and lifestyle to your goals and motivations. He will help you figure out why the changes you try never last and what is getting in the way of breaking your old habits. You will slowly be able to identify how you can turn around the circumstances and make them work for you rather than against you.

Above all, the health coach builds a healthy and helpful framework that provides you the impetus to bring in small changes in the daily routine – be it sleeping just a little bit early, eating a slightly healthier meal or reducing stress even faintly. The coach is truly vested in your health and motivates you to keep practicing the simple techniques everyday. He or she is your support system who will keep you from digressing from the path. Moreover, there is a built-in accountability as well.

The tiny modifications gradually build into a big change without you even realizing the same. Very soon you will find yourself breaking the tough habit or adopting the new one that you always thought was impossible.

Another plus point of habit change coaching is that the change in habits is for good. Indeed, as you practice it over and over again, the change comes subconsciously and no longer seems tough. This will inspire you to stick to the change and not revert back to the old ways.

Therefore, habit change coaching can change your life; you just have to allow it to do so!
