Default Do I need a life coach?

I have two children aged 4 and 20 months. I gave up work (sales, travel long hours, wouldn't want to go back) to stay with the children until they started school. The eldest has just started and I am jut starting to think about what I want to do. I run marathons so think I would like to do something that involves fitness. I am finding it hard to imagine working again as I am in a happy bubble of family and general life but I know that I will need to do something when my youngest starts school. I was wondering if there are any books anyone could recommend, something inspirational or anything else. I am open to ideas and excited about what my future holds!

Thank you.

When I was in the similar situation, I found some amazing books in spiritual/philosophy section of the local library. That section is full of self-help books, quasi spiritual, philosophical books from various traditions. There is every imaginable topic covered in this section including healing, fengshui, crystals, yoga, etc
Some of the life changing stuff came from that librarry. The local library is a great place to explore various areas of interest and ususually one stumbles upon great gems of knowlege and wisdom.
wish you luck

Hi Daffodil

I'm a student life coach and need to build up 60 hours of coaching experience as part of my qualification. If you would like it, I can offer you free telephone coaching so you can talk things through.

I can provide contact details of my course tutors if you'd like to reassure yourself. I've also coached quite a few people from this site so I'm sure I can arrange a reference if you'd like one.

Thanks and good luck

Sophie

HI

Well the only person who can decide that is you. A coach will guide, support, challenge and create a safe environment for you to explore all the possiblities and help you on your path.
Try some out - most Coaches offer Sample sessions. It's important to find the right coach for you.

Warmest wishes

Claire
Inspiring you to be better at being you
