How to Coach Yourself and Others Essential Knowledge For Coaching | Página 426

Have you ever said, “This always happens to me!” Or, “I never have any
luck!”
These types of statements can really amp up the emotional distress, and
more often than not, are major exaggerations.
Instead, we want to ask some different questions. Ask yourself, “what’s
the worst that could happen, or what do I want from this situation?” “Is
there a positive way I can look at this that I’m overlooking?”
These type of questions help change our focus from feeling out of control
to having a chance to determine how we want to feel and making
changes that help us get our needs met.
These tips and techniques can help us to keep things in perspective and
deal with matters more effectively. When we are triggered we can
maintain self-control and begin reaping the benefits of healthy
relationships, more effective communication, and unwavering poise and
confidence.
