The Importance Of Life Coaching

Under the Life Coaching cognate is where I got to take the class in Health and Wellness, up until this point I was unclear why God directed me toward Life Coaching. I understand that I wanted to help people and that God drew me to always helping people but I was really unclear in what manner of coaching God was directing me. The secular worldview of health and wellness puts focus on mind, body, and spirit (meaning nature) as pointed out “Wellness is the experience of living life with high levels of awareness, conscious choice, self-acceptance, interconnectedness, love, meaning and purpose,” (Arloski, 2007).

Utilizing the life coaching helps me to see as a current volunteer what community needs are presently, and what better ways there may be to get the needs of the community met more quickly, so that they can move into a better more fulfilled future.

Choosing the cognates of Psychology and Life Coaching has provided me with not just a degree option, but with a career path that I feel God has not only lead me, however it gives me the chance to serve God, and my fellow mankind through volunteering my time and talents. I want to be a source of encouragement for my family, friends and for those that are in any need of assistance, and the best way in order to do this is by volunteering ones time and talents, and to help others see what their own God given talents may be, so they too can utilize them to better serve
