If one asks any person out on the street, their goals are in life; a standard answer would be to advance their careers. Job progression is significant for many reasons. It can allow a person to obtain a better salary, benefits, experience, and most importantly, a higher quality of life. However, advancing is not easy and requires one to tap into their full potential. That is where executive coaching in Dubai comes in. In this blog, we will examine what it is and how it can help a person.

Few things in the world can cause distress to a person as fear. Some consider it a simple protection strategy, while others may find it devastating, causing more harm than good. Overcoming this emotional state can be difficult alone, so it is recommended to receive personal coaching or psychological help.

COVID-19 has impacted almost every type of romantic relationship, whether it’s dating couples, married ones, or divorcees with shared custody. The pandemic is said to have a negative impact on most of them due to sudden changes in the things that people have been accustomed to. Couples therapy is the best solution to normalize the new life changes and work things with your significant other. This article will look further into the effect on relationships and how therapy can help.

Anxiety is an incredibly challenging thing to handle for those constantly suffering from it. Living in a constant state of fear and worry is exhausting, and many do not want to take it anymore. They want to fight it, and this blog aims to help them do that. Let us examine ways by which a person can cope with worry and panic attacks.

As we all know, each child is different in his or her own way. We all come packed with different specialties and talents, along with several other interests. Let us learn how to help figure out our children’s talents in these effective ways.

We have all experienced the loss of something valuable that has caused us much pain and sorrow. Maybe you are hanging on to a relationship that you know is not safe in your heart, hoping that before all the pain and hurt really sets in, it will turn back into how things were in the beginning. One of the toughest things we can face in life is to let go of relationships when they no longer serve us. We are often so familiar with the known that we choose to suffer the pain that this may bring us rather than taking that huge and often scary step into an unknown future. We often resist change and cling to the past long after it has ceased to serve us. It’s what is known as our uncomfortable comfort zone. But taking that step with the professional and supportive help of One Life Coaching will probably be the best step you have ever taken.

Our mindset defines the world in which we live and the possibilities and experiences accessible to us. The value of this is changing one’s attitude to a more positive outlook with the assistance of One Life coaching. Suppose we can pay attention to our mindset and become sufficiently conscious of the complexities of our behaviours. In that case, we may discover the shortcomings of our views, thoughts, and emotional states that may have become so normal that we may not even consider their harmful effects and how they limit us.

This new perspective is in changing our mindset which we can achieve with One Life coaching in Dubai through a mixture of CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) and Coaching techniques, In simple terms Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is based on the grounds of what we think, how we feel, and how we act. So a change in thinking will result in a shift in feeling. 

When it comes to improving your emotional well being, the path to a stabilized psychological future might seem like an abstract idea for those who are experiencing difficulties in expressing their emotions. Free emotional expression is a vital part of maintaining the harmony of your mind, body, and soul. This is especially true as suppressed and repressed emotions can lead to further distress and an array of mental health issues.

In order to positively enhance the quality of your life, it is important to take advantage of resources that are available around you that can significantly boost your self-esteem. One such means of support is Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) that is enriched with objectives of improving your understanding of compassion and cultivating a habit of looking at yourself and the world through this enlightened lens.

Anxiety can be recognized as the body’s response to any stressful agent that is present in the environment. This natural reaction of the body can turn into a disorder when the periods of intense worry, restlessness, discomfort, or fear arise and persist for a longer time than is considered normal. When anxiety becomes chronic and is prone to frequently spiking, it gives way to a panic attack that can accompany a variety of anxiety disorders and be triggered by a myriad of external as well as internal factors.  Anxiety as a whole can be coped with when the specific cause of the response is identified and consequently the best fit treatment is implemented into one’s lifestyle. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the many techniques used by wellness coaches and other certified professionals to help rework the neural networks of the brain and cope with anxiety more effectively.

Going through a divorce is up there in the top five hardest, most emotionally demanding things to do in life. Not only are you grieving for the past that you have lost but equally for the future that you will have planned in your mind and even discussed with your now estranged partner. Often I have people say to me “I didn’t enter into marriage lightly, it was for life,” and my reply is always the same: “I don’t know anyone who entered into a marriage not thinking it was for life”. For good or bad, a divorce will mean that we are probably losing our comfort zone and our “other half”. Even if that other half is not comfortable or healthy anymore, it is still what we are accustomed to and comfortable with.

Suddenly finding ourselves alone, with half our identity, that we perhaps spent years merging into, gone, can be a horror-stricken place. We can’t go back to being the person we were before we married, especially if we got married years previously, changed, maybe even had children, but neither do we know how to go forwards. Not knowing our new identity and individuality can be terrifying. That combined with some outdated societal views that one becomes sad, bitter, or twisted after a divorce means that all we can often see is a black tunnel with no end.

Navigating your life after divorce can look like an insurmountable climb to the top of the mountain. But it doesn’t have to be, especially when working with a Divorce Life coach. Divorce life coaching can help you look at life as it is now and create a renewed perspective of yourself as well as gaining a more positive outlook on your life moving forwards.

Time Will Always Heal

There are many-layered, complex reasons why couples get divorced – from unmet expectations, poor communication, different values after children, couples growing into different people with different directions, to control, abuse, unreasonable behaviors, and infidelity.  All these actions can unbalance you emotionally and cause you not to see the light or the way out. Divorce Coaches help you to face your grief, rebalance yourself emotionally, gain clarity, and eventually a healthy perspective to move forwards. Pain, turmoil, frustrations, and sadness don’t necessarily always heal over time: often people just suppress them and this results in the emotions manifesting in other ways such as in diseases and health issues. Divorce Coaches – especially those with a strong background in CBT or Compassion-Based Therapy –  can help provide the support you need to process your emotions, let them go and move on to thrive in your new life and your new role.

Rediscovering Yourself

Those who do not work with a Divorce Coach during the process itself, once those final papers arrive, often find themselves at a loss with what to do with themselves, not because they have nothing to keep themselves busy with but usually because they have spent the last 18 months to two years concentrating solely on the process of divorce and neglecting the rest of their life.  Divorce Life Coaches are by far the best resource not only to declutter the negative emotions of the situation but to guide you into rediscovering yourself and developing a better version of you and your life moving forwards. They assist you in learning what your true values are, in prioritising what is important to you and what will make you happy so that you go forwards spending your time productively and in a fulfilling manner.

The idea that people can’t change who they are is unfortunately one that is still prevalent in many parts of society. As long as you are willing to embrace the process, people can and do change for the better all the time and divorce often leads you to the best version of yourself if you are willing to put the work in.

A Positive Reinforcement

Going through a divorce is a time where we often seek validation for our actions. It is a lengthy, costly, and scary process and one that more than likely you will not have gone through before. This means that you will have little or no current experience to know if you are making the right or wrong choices. Often the person is relying on family or friends to guide or help and either these well-meaning people will themselves have no experience of divorce or they will have an outdated experience as divorce processes and laws evolve constantly. Sometimes you may rely on the advice of someone who has gone through the divorce process quite recently but every divorce is different and only after you have seen a few can you begin to see the trends and the patterns. A Divorce Coach will have a wide experience of the process, the practicalities and the emotions involved, and can provide the advice, the help, and the positive reinforcement both during the divorce process and for life after. This, in turn, enables you to make smart decisions when navigating life during and after divorce.

Thrive And Be Happy

More than anything, divorce life coaches help you focus on the future. They do not let you cling on to the past and dwell on things that can only bring misery and discomfort. They don’t ignore these either and try to tell you to suppress them. They declutter the past so that you can throw that misery and discomfort down the river, be free of it, feel lighter, and have the bandwidth to grow, thrive, and be happy again. A Divorce Coach supports you with plotting a future for yourself, discovering your values, and setting your priorities.

A good Divorce Coach will also help you navigate the divorce waters for your children and guide you with the best parenting tools so that your children can also thrive in their own lives after divorce. With the guidance of a Divorce Life Coach, you’ll set achievable goals for you as an individual, as a parent, and for your children so that you can push through the right direction, towards a thriving and fulfilling life.

In her recent YouTube commencement speech, the former first lady, Michelle Obama focused on the state of uncertainty that the current times have brought to our lives. She said she felt just as confused, overwhelmed and angry as everyone else and suggested leaning into the latter, calling it, “a powerful force.”

“There will always be those who want to keep you silent, to have you be seen but not heard, or maybe they don’t even want to see you at all,” Obama said. “But those people don’t know your story, and if you listen to them, then nothing will ever change.”

Being a woman in this day and age, being told you can have it all but then realising that probably there are not enough hours in the day to do it all, is hard enough without the current changes in the world which have stripped many of us of all the superficial stuff and made most of us have a long hard look at the most basic essence of who we are. In essence, if we think about it, it’s the very fundamentals of womanhood – being dynamic, highly intuitive, deep thinkers with above-average emotional intelligence – that allows us to wear many hats, rise above adversity, defy expectations, and empower each other. And it is that essence that also makes us stop and think about who we really are and want to ask and answer those difficult questions of what is our true purpose in life

A good friend of mine, who does a fair share of networking, recently told me that it feels like every third person he meets at an event is a Life Coach. I am inclined to agree; on Instagram, on Facebook, in fact on most platforms where one can advertise one’s services, there seems to be an array of Life Coaches calling themselves anything from Success Coaches, Empowerment Coaches to Happiness Coaches. Only recently the media in the UK reported that Life Coaching is one of the best earning careers where no qualifications are needed. So how do you know when a Life Coach is the real deal, or just someone out to make a quick buck and how do you know if a Life Coach is the right one for you?

When helping people through their self development; if I had a dirham for every time I’ve heard…“the fact is, I’m over (insert age) and I have to figure out how to start again…” I would be very rich indeed. For one reason or another, people feel like they don’t have a choice when, in reality, that’s all they really have.

So I want to share three things that I choose to do, during my own self development, that really helps to jump-start me and move me beyond my situational “funk”

Have you ever felt slightly unbalanced when returning to Dubai from a holiday abroad, especially if that holiday was with extended family or friends? Life coaching may be just what you need to get back on solid ground. Don’t worry, you’re not alone.

Many of the expat destinations that attract us to a better life are lavish, luxurious, futuristic cities, twinkling their delights at us. They’re also interesting and challenging cultural melting pots, full of people with different backgrounds, different values and different goals, all living under the same sun. This diversity is what makes these destinations so much fun when things are going great and paradoxically what can make them so challenging when things fall apart. If you’ve fallen into the trap of marrying a narcissist, divorcing may be your only option.

Divorce rates are high wherever you look, and the UAE is no exception. Being in an expat marriage can be very rewarding but it can also have its own issues, challenges and pressures that we don’t always stop to think about.

If  this or even  “How do I get a divorce” are the foremost questions in your mind, a Divorce Coach can be instrumental in helping you answer them. The UK and the US have already learnt the many benefits of using a Divorce Coach but here in the UAE I still get people asking me, “Why bother with a Divorce coach?” Some even laugh at the idea, saying “surely a lawyer should be enough?” The answer is simple: divorce coaching will not only save you time, anxiety and worry about if you are doing the right thing, in the right way, with the right lawyer, it will also save you a fortune in legal fees in the long run. My clients who have found me after trying to go it alone all say “I wish I found you earlier” and “Why don’t you shout louder about what you do?”
