Many of us learn how to function in relationships from what we saw our parents do or learned from our friends. The patterns we learn are often hard to move away from even when they are consistently negative or don't make us feel better as people.
Why is it then that people seem to stay stuck in non-productive relationships rather than working on finding new and more rewarding ways of doing things? In my experience it is due to our comfort in the familiar and fear of the unknown. As strange as it sounds when viewed objectively, we often stay with what we know because we think it is more comfortable.
The great thing is that we can often experience far greater joy and reward in doing something new. Learning new behaviors that lead us in positive directions can result in resolving chronic relationship problems, finding new and positive relationships and treating ourselves better.
Try this sometime: Examine your existing relationship and decide on one thing that could change to improve the relationship. Work on that one thing consistently over time. Seek outside help if you need an objective point of view. Once you start establishing a new pattern things will begin moving in a different direction.
People often tell me they never knew their relationships were so stuck until they introduced new behaviors. They are often surprised at how good things can get and frequently tell me that they are glad they consciously worked on breaking the patterns they had established in their relationships and trying new ones.

What Is a Life Coach?
People sometimes ask me, "What on earth is a life coach?" There are many answers but I answer that I help people achieve their dreams and I listen to their hopes. Coaching is the process of working with a qualified person to help you develop a plan that works for you. You get to make the decisions.
If you want to find out what you really want out of life, a life coach can help you formulate a plan for success. A life coach helps you clarify your strengths and areas for improvement and supports you as you move toward success. I help you identify what is going on in your life, what your dreams are and where you want to go. A coach partners with you and helps you build in accountability for your plan for the future. Life coaching gives you the ability to transform your life and choose your destiny. There is no magic to coaching because it is a common sense process that helps you focus in ways you may not have thought about before.
I enjoy working with people like you who are motivated to transform their lives. It is a privilege to watch people grow and discover their strengths and talents. Coaching helps people identify the patterns of behavior that block the path to their dreams. I use my experience to help you see things in a different way and gives you a neutral outside perspective. A coach can help you identify the behaviors that got you where you are and works with you to achieve success as you define it.
Think of a life coach as someone who will be in your side, who helps you build on your strengths, and who believes in the potential you have inside.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any other questions about how coaching can help you.
