In wellness coaching <\/span><\/a><\/strong>it\u2019s not just, \u201cYou are what you eat.\u201d\u00a0 It\u2019s also you are who you eat with.\u00a0 Peer group is everything.\u00a0 Take a mostly vegan person like myself to another city to meet up with family and see what happens to my diet.\u00a0 Especially when sitting down to a very nice steakhouse with a dozen other people who are ordering steak.\u00a0 At one point in time I asked how many different types of beef can they make?\u00a0 The only reason I didn\u2019t order a steak was that I know how my body feels after eating that type of food, and the thought of feeling lousy the next day saved me.\u00a0 Knowing the right thing to do is not enough for your wellness coaching<\/strong> <\/a>clients.\u00a0 They need a peer group who is committed to a wellness lifestyle.<\/div>\n

Why Wellness Coaching Principles Go Out the Window At The End Of Their Session<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

You are a combination of the five people you spend the most time with.\u00a0 Peer group is powerful enough that people can ruin their lives by hanging out with people who are destructive and still get their basic needs met.\u00a0 If you want to get off drugs you can\u2019t hang out with people who do drugs.\u00a0 If you want to lose weight, you can\u2019t hang out with people who frequent fast food chains and eat donuts.\u00a0 I know that it\u2019s not politically correct to infer such things, but it\u2019s true.\u00a0 You are who you eat with.\u00a0 If you\u2019re serious about your health and wellness goals, you need to eat with different people.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not advocating telling your wellness coaching<\/strong> clients to divorce their spouses or cut ties with their friends and family.\u00a0 But you will need to at least have them add people who are going to support their new lifestyle or get their existing peer group into coaching.<\/p>\n

How to Make the Rule \u201cWhen in Rome Do Like the Romans\u201d Work for You<\/h3>\n

When you\u2019re with people who are eating ribs and hot dogs, it\u2019s acceptable to eat ribs and hot dogs.\u00a0 And it\u2019s not very acceptable to decline.\u00a0 So what if you ate with a group of people who took a serious approach to wellness through their diet.\u00a0 It would be uncomfortable to be the only person to sit at a restaurant with a group of vegetarians and order a big slap of meat; even if no one said anything aloud.\u00a0 It\u2019s not part of the culture of the group.<\/p>\n

So make sure you address the power of peer group with your wellness coaching<\/span> clients, and come up with some strategies to navigate some of the obstacles they\u2019ll face.\u00a0 It will make the road to better health a little less bumpy.<\/p>\n
