All of us have, at one time or another, stood in front of a bathroom mirror at 3 a.m. and asked our reflections:

  • What am I doing with my life?
  • Am I happy?
  • How do I achieve goals x, y and z?

And while it often seems like these are answers only ourselves (or occasionally, bizarrely, our reflections) can answer, there is a solution that is less out there than you might think.

Life coaching is an accessible, practical way to find help answering these questions, as we see from this article by the Lansing State Journal. With the state of the recession and more and more people at a crossroads in their lives, “interest in coaching is higher than ever.”

I can hear you all say, “but life coaching is for executive types and people with large disposable incomes.” While some coaches might target these groups, there are far more coaches who are ready to help you with what you need right now using practical theory and offering reasonable rates.

The article to goes on to mention that life coaches are responding to the nation’s hard times by offering free workshops, group sessions and discounted individual rates.

Indeed, in true life coaching fashion, coaches are taking the lemony economic times and making lemonade. What better time to embark upon a new career, clean the cobwebs out of your current career path or just simplify and retarget your goals?
