Environment Coaching
Our nature changes with the environment we choose to live and work in.
– Ramakrishna
Show me how you live and I’ll tell you who you are.
All right, I’ll admit: It’s not always that easy. Nonetheless, I’m convinced: To some extent, how we live reflects who we are as human beings.
No wonder: After all, most of us probably spend more time at home than anywhere else. So, prioritizing a beautiful home when it comes to our overall wellbeing is a no-brainer!
As a style coach, I’ve had the privilege of visiting several of my clients in their homes over the past few years.
If there’s one thing I realized over and over: Most of the time, my clients aren’t simply after a «makeover». There tends to be so much more to it: Many of them seek to reconnect with themselves on a level that can easily exceed, yet still entail, the inner life of their wardrobes.
One major aspect kept breaking the surface: No longer feeling any joy in the house they once called «home». Originally, I had been asked over to provide «wardrobe advice» – but all of a sudden, we found ourselves discussing my client’s interior design.
I realized: Why limit myself to one field if my distinct sense for esthetics can go such a long way?
Long story short, my desire to make use of this trait in order to provide the most valuable support for my clients resulted in enhancing my style coaching by means of environment coaching.
To me, the parallels between these two fields are astonishing:
Regardless of where you live, simply focusing on current living trends will not automatically help you to feel more at home. Your needs are what really counts – and not the brand of the couch you tend to sink into after a long day at the office.
Your furnishing may match your ultimate taste – as in this taste lies your true essence.
Outer beauty brings about inner beauty:
Not until we coincide with the surroundings we’ve created for ourselves, can we harness our full potential and become the person we really want to be.
Yes, I need a breath of fresh air!
More often than not, the environment we choose for ourselves reveals much of our personality.
For this reason, environment coaching goes so much further: Because your surroundings are never only limited to how you decide to live. Your social setting is at least as significant when it comes to carving out the life you aspire to live!
Have you asked yourself lately …
- what impact the people around you have on your personal wellbeing?
- whom you tend to spend the most time with?
- how sympathetic these people are towards you?
- to what extent they’re assisting you in becoming the best version of yourself?
- or whether they may even be thwarting your personal development?
Gaining clarity in this regard can move mountains: Not until we fathom the enormous impact our social setting has on our personal development as a human being, can we become active in selecting the surroundings that truly help us to grow.
Yes, I’m ready for a reality check!
