How to Practice Alternate Nostril Breathing
Tough times often turn into moments of self-reflection. Hardship like chronic illness, relationship problems and financial troubles forces you to stand still. It leaves you wondering: what went wrong and what happens next? Difficult times also make you re-examine your priorities: what matters most in life?
Coaching doesn’t give you the answers, but it helps you pose the right questions. Asking meaningful questions can help you see your situation from a fresh perspective. That new point of view may give you the insights you need to find solutions – or, if there aren’t any easy answers, a path towards acceptance and inner peace.
Even though you didn’t ask for it, painful periods can provide valuable life lessons. According to research, roughly 70% of people who went through tough times have experienced some kind of psychological growth in return. Following adversity, you may have a new understanding of yourself, a greater appreciation for life, a deeper connection with loved ones or a bigger purpose in life.
Need a little help with your soul-searching? Whether you use them as a daily journal prompt or explore them together with a trusted friend over a glass of wine, take a look at these 31 coaching questions to help you grow.
Self-reflection is a practice, not a destination. Consider each coaching question as an invitation to understand yourself better, to discover what truly matters and to (re)build resilience in the face of adversity. Over time, these new insights can help you turn hardship into a source of wisdom, strength and deeper connection with life.
