What students are saying
Words cannot describe the gratitude I have for Weber's Wellness Coaching program. Previous to the program, I had pursued therapy in hopes of changing my life for the better - specifically, finding hope in a world that I thought held only misery and discontent. I did not find it in therapy; in fact, my frustration increased because change was not occurring. Through Students in Motion I heard about wellness coaching and it seemed appealing, so I tried it. After the first couple of sessions, I realized that the skills utilized by my coach offered a chance for me to climb out of that perceived misery and create my own hope. She taught me how to identify my own distorted thinking; she taught me how to identify what I wanted out of life and then brick by brick, or week by week, how to make that happen. When I started, I thought to myself, "I know how to make a "to do" list in order to achieve my goals. I don't want to involve someone else in creating that list." But that isn't what transpired in coaching. What happened is that I was taught how to identify the key processes - the behaviors - that enable me to get what I want. I was taught that writing "try something new" on my weekly to do list is NOT effective. I have to state "try yoga for the first time at 9am on Saturday morning at Yoga Jo's." By doing this I found a new activity that I want to practice for the rest of my life. If I tried something I didn't like, no worries, I wasn't the worse for it; in fact, experiencing the things that I didn't like allowed me to still feel fulfilled that I'd tried something new. Through wellness coaching I was able to see that life is about my opportunities, not my problems. And this has made a huge difference to me; I found my hope again…and a few smiles along the way.
