We often talk here at Smart Fit Womxn about your wellness vision:  the detailed picture you have in your head of what it looks like to be living your healthiest life.

When coaching new clients, we always start by helping them get really clear on this vision, because it’s difficult to know if you’re heading in the right direction when you don’t know where you’re going!

But what if you’re really clear on your wellness vision, but the gap between you now and you at your healthiest feels…insurmountable?

It can be discouraging to think you’ve got a long way to go, not to mention the doubts that can creep up and make you wonder, “Is it even possible for me to get there?”

First off, the good news is yes-you can get there!  And when you work with a wellness coach, you have someone in your corner on “Team Help (insert your name) Reach Their Wellness Vision”!

Secondly, there is one thing you can do right now to help close that gap:

Find what’s already going right.

And not just in your health and wellness journey.  What’s already going right in your LIFE?  

When you look at your life as a whole, ask yourself these questions:

• What’s really working well right now?
• What is flourishing?
• What’s going right and how am I contributing to that?
• Where am I employing my strengths and talents and seeing the good that comes from them?
• Where am I creating or inspiring change?
• How am I growing as a person?
• What am I overcoming?
• How am I leading others to good things in their own lives?
• What good things am I bringing to the world right now?

You don’t even have to ask yourself all these questions!  But when you consider “What’s already going right in my life?” you start to see the places where you’ve been successful.

Knowing you’ve been successful in other areas of life can help change the narrative of your health and wellness journey.

The truth is, something is already going right for you. 

Take a few moments to find out what that is, WHY that is (i.e., what have you done or who have you become to bring about that success), and begin to imagine how you might apply that to your health journey.

If you find this difficult to do, our job as wellness coaches is to help shed light on what is already working in your life.  Check out our free PDF “5 Ways to Know If Wellness Coaching Is Right For You” to see if you’re ready for the next step!
