Here is something important to think about.  Our brains, and thus our actions, can move from a broadly tunned to a tightly focused state.  We all know this at some level.  When you concentrate hard on a given task, for example, you may not respond to various intruding events; they are blocked.  When you are in, lets say, a potential haunted house, evey little squeak or creak will grab you attention.  The trick is to learn how to move between these broad beam and narrow beam activities in a fluid fashion. 

This is not alway easy.  The brain can literally shut out information or be receptive to that same information depending upon our state of mind.  This is an important fact for adaptive behavior, and thus our healthy approach to the world.  We need to learn when to focus tightly and when to be open.  Here a qualified coach can be an enormous help. 

The core idea of ETHOLIFE HEALTH COACHING is to help clients get at the roots of their being (cf. Greek term, "ethos").  From this solid foundation growth is possible.  This works best when client and coach work comfortably together in setting goals, taking well considered small intial steps, and being receptive to feedback at all stages in the personally designed program. 

Brain plasticity is key here.  Unlike views a few years ago it is now well established that our brains, at all ages, can be coached to take advantage of life-long plasticity.  Plasticity means change.  Find your foundations and from there work with the amazing potentialities for change. 

My Views About Health.

We are each unique individuals. That is a clear fact. We are also each connected to one another. That too is a clear fact. My view about health is that we have to understand both the distinctions that make us individuals, and those deeper roots that connect us to one another. We can think of a tree with each of its special branches. No one branch is the same as any of the others. But each branch has its common origins with all other branches. That makes each of us both special (unique) and also part of a deeper rooted human community. We can take this further; we are each but a treasured part of the broader living world. The living world is but part of the world, the universe, more broadly. What does all of this mean for heath coaching? It means that a responsible coach recognizes BOTH the individual gifts each client has, and then helps that individual see how they are more deeply connected into the life stream, the natural stream.
