Do not set imaginary limits for yourself

recognized. From childhood play to entry into the world of work, human beings are driven in a battle to place themselves at the highest point of social approval, without anyone appreciating the cost of going through life collecting successes without having a healthy emotional foundation and a solid personal identity that allows the person to know, first and foremost, who he or she is and from where to make a contribution to the world.

Personal success, a legitimate desire

When a person arrives asking for help from a life coach, it is obvious that he is not in his best moment; the coaching professional, in a friendly atmosphere, will talk again and again with his client, to find the real cause of his discomfort and be able to help him; because sometimes the client who arrives with the typical image of a winner does not know exactly what is happening to him although he cannot get rid of his feeling of emptiness and anguish, but with his working methods the coach will create a portrait of the client that will reveal the real causes of his state.

The coach, through personalized techniques and strategies, works with his client on those self-imposed limiting beliefs that do not allow him to explore other areas of reality and develop new skills.

The client is stimulated to revise his points of view so that he gets rid of the criteria that are not useful to his personal development and by doing so, from his inner truth, he strengthens his identity, which is very important that it is well founded on concrete and real bases according to the personal truth of each one.

Working with personal identity

The coach shows his client that there are two ways to act in life from our personal identity: one is to know that, although imperfect, we are also valuable, and the other idea is that we are not valuable either to ourselves or to others. Believing that one is not good enough damages the personal identity of the individual, nullifying their potential and seeking the approval of others continuously, thus generating an emotional dependence that over t
