Noise, Overwhelm, and 5 Minutes
When connecting with a new client, stop for a moment to consider their headspace. They have a problem that’s causing them pain. They feel stuck and frustrated. They want the problem to go away, quickly and easily. Everybody is screaming something different. Who should they trust?
Happy 2-Tips Tuesday!
Here are two ideas to consider this week.
By Jennifer Broxterman, RD
1. Noise, Exhaustion, & Overwhelm
When connecting with a new client, stop for a moment to consider their headspace.
1. They have a problem that’s causing them pain.
2. They’ve tried to deal with this problem before, usually on their own.
3. They want the problem to go away, quickly and easily.
4. They’re confused, or not confident they know what to do.
5. They have busy lives that your ‘solution’ needs to fit into.
6. Everyone is yelling, pulling, insisting they can help, and they don’t know who to trust.
The best coaches meet their clients where they are at. They teach realistic and achievable strategies vs. all-consuming perfect solutions.
2. 5 Minutes Matter
Great coaches can chunk down behavior change into 5 minute wins for their clients:
• Drink of glass of water first thing in the morning
• Chop up a veggie bucket
• Pack a healthy lunch
• Take 3 slow deep breaths to de-stress
• Clear off a counter, or tidy for 5 minutes (outer order, inner calm)
• Take a 5 minute walk
• Stretch
• Journal or list 3 things to be grateful for
• Pick out a healthy recipe to try for dinner
It's like brushing your teeth. To fit into your routine, it has to take 5 minutes or less to stick.
