Before joining the Integrating Life Coaching Plan, I did not know what coaching was. I had seen some coaching scenes in the movie. I felt that coaching was like psychotherapy, where the coach gives advice, suggests improvement plans, encourages positive thinking, asks the universe for something, and so on. I have met many professional and apprentice coaches and joined several coaching sessions. But, in those days, it was not yet clear to me how it worked.
For me, “Integrating Life Coaching” is like there is someone who listens to your problem and understands who you are. I got to express the deep feeling that I never told others or even things I did not want to accept. I had never imagined that there would be someone willing to help me, who saw me as a whole person without judgment and encouragement to move on.
Now, I understand that self-acceptance is the key to happiness and inner peace. It is more important to love myself rather than seek recognition from others. I have started to appreciate what I have and the love from my family and peers. These are things I have always neglected and prevent me from living my life to the fullest. Now I accept my imperfections, and I can love myself as I am.
Before, I thought coaching was nonsense. But I can say that getting a life coach is the best decision I have ever made.
