If a wild imagination encouraged your quest to become a life coach<\/a><\/strong>, why would you want it tame it? Imagining the success you\u2019ll have once you become a life coach<\/strong> is probably what keeps you going. But does your imagination working for you, or against you? Are you aware of your thoughts? Or do your thoughts flow without much consideration of reality? Do you monitor which ones are helpful and which ones hold you back? If so, you\u2019re ready to become a mentor<\/a><\/strong>. And if not, you can use these coach training tips on yourself and your clients until you are ready to become a mentor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Become a Mentor: Start a Journal<\/h3>\n

The first step to become a life coach<\/strong> and become a mentor<\/strong> who is controls their thoughts is journaling. Just type or write as fast as possible for 3-5 minutes. No spelling, no editing; don\u2019t let your thoughts control you.<\/p>\n

Become a Mentor: Use Journaling to Take Charge of Your Thoughts<\/h3>\n

The next step to become a life coach<\/span> who helps their clients take charge of their thoughts is to have them use their journaling to bring thoughts into their conscious. To become a mentor<\/span>, you\u2019ll need to master this for yourself and incorporate it you\u2019re your daily habits. Without a doubt there will be amplifiers, or phrases such as \u201cI hate\u2026\u201d or \u201cI love\u2026\u201d or \u201cI\u2019ll never.\u201d Put these statements on a piece of paper folded in half so you have two long columns. Across from where you wrote the sentences with the amplifiers, re-write the phrase in a softer way. For example, \u201cI hate prospecting\u201d becomes \u201cI\u2019m not in love with prospecting.\u201d You\u2019ll probably even laugh because the new thoughts mismatch with your old beliefs.<\/p>\n

What does this do?<\/p>\n

It softens and lowers emotional intensity. It doesn\u2019t take all the emotional intensity out of it; it but keeps it more stable. \u201cThis is terrible\u201d turns into \u201cThings could be better.\u201d Once you master this, you become a life coach<\/span> who can turn your life around. And you\u2019ll be able to coach your clients to turn their life around, too. At that point, you can become a mentor<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Become a Mentor: Put Your Thoughts and Plans into Action<\/h3>\n

The last step is to become a life coach who puts this plan into action. Post the sheet somewhere where you will see it every day, like by your bed or on the bathroom mirror. Go on a 10 day mental diet. These are your consistent bingeing thoughts, and they take your power away. Every day when you look at the sheet remind yourself, \u201cWhen I think this, I\u2019m going to become conscious of it and use the new language.\u201d At the end of the day give yourself a check. If you miss a day, you need to start over at day one. By the time you do this for 10 days in a row, this will have shifted for you dramatically and you\u2019ll be ready to become a mentor for others. Remember, 10 days in a row. The time you least feel like doing your ritual is when you need it most.<\/p>\n
