Deep dives
Understanding Confusion and Overwhelm in Clients' Minds
Clients often hire coaches when they feel confused and overwhelmed by conflicting stories and an abundance of information. This confusion stems from lacking clarity, uncertain next steps, and a lack of consistency, leading to procrastination. Despite being clear about their desired results, clients struggle with creating a clear map to achieve them, causing inconsistency and overwhelm.
Impact of External Factors on Clients' Confusion
External factors like media overload, social media comparisons, and advertising messages contribute to clients' confusion, making it challenging to discern trustworthy information. The constant exposure to conflicting ideologies and distractions leads to difficulty in making choices and finding clarity. Clients struggle with obsessive comparison disorder and are influenced by targeted messages aimed at capturing their attention and shaping their decisions.
Language, Breathing, and Storytelling in Creating Clarity
The Enlifted Method emphasizes the influence of language on emotions, imagination, physiology, and breathing patterns. Clients' use of soft talk, negations, and conflict language contributes to their confusion and lack of clarity. By observing and modifying their internal dialogue and language patterns, clients can break free from emotional loops and gain mental freedom, allowing them to act with clarity and conviction.
Coaching Towards Clarity and Resilience
Coaches play a crucial role in helping clients navigate and overcome confusion by facilitating clarity and resilience. By guiding clients to downregulate their nervous systems, observe their stories objectively, and manipulate language to construct empowering narratives, coaches can empower clients to overcome external and internal sources of confusion. The goal is to help clients build a strong identity, make clear decisions, and find happiness and fulfillment amidst the overwhelming information and societal influences.
