Welcome to the Coaching Couch

Welcome to the coaching couch.



This couch is different. Everytime we sit on it, we will experience change. It's all about change tips and trips. It's about making changes that last. Changes that reshape our lives. Changes that would make us live the life we want. I have always wanted to sit on this couch long time ago, yet I had a false presumption about this couch "I thought it was hard". Now, I know the truth cause I decided to sit and try it myself.

Your Life Gears


Dear human being,

I would like to introduce you to your most important “life gears”. What do I mean by “life gears”? I imagine those life gears as important components inside you. You cannot see them, yet they are there inside you, working hard all the time to shape your life.  Every human being has a belief system or set of beliefs (gear one) that control his/her life. The movement of that gear directs your thoughts (gear two) and emotions (gear three) in a certain way. Take a moment to look at your life now to better understand that concept. Let’s take a quick and simple example to demonstrate the attached diagram.

Do you believe that stress leads to achievements? Cause lots of people think that they need to be pressured and pushed to get things done. Some people think that they cannot work without deadlines. If you have such a belief embedded in your belief system, I’d be tempted to ask you couple of questions. How would that belief affect your thoughts, in times of stress and in stress-free times? Do you know how to enjoy your holidays or short breaks? Do you really enjoy relaxing or you feel that it’s a waste of time with not much achievement? Be honest to yourself. Go deep inside. Capture your real hidden thoughts. Before going further, I invite you to write down your thoughts and answers to the above stated questions.

What have you noticed? Now let me ask you; how would your thoughts affect your emotions? Try to feel each of your written answers. Take your time. Do you feel down or up, negative or positive? I will not assume anything. I want you to explore your thoughts and feelings.

The most powerful tool for self-exploration and awareness is asking questions, so bear with me.
How do you see “stress”? Is it good or bad? Useful or harmful? Negative or positive? If you believe that stress is good, then enjoy it. If you believe that it’s bad, then proceed reading the following lines. We all agree that achievements are considered a good thing. Progress is human need. Who doesn’t want to achieve and progress? Then the following logical question would be; is it right to link a positive outcome “achievement” with a negative mean “stress”? Does it seem logical? Does it sound reasonable? Does it feel right?

If you realize that linking stress to achievement is irrational, then you need to do something about that. You need to substitute that irrational link with a rational one. Before asking how, ask why? Why do you need or must change that belief?
Is it important or not? Those are some critical questions you need to address.

Well, that’s a good start. What’s next? I recommend that you re-read this article. Take your time. Look closely at your answers. Zoom-in. You could also look for a better example that you would better relate to. Writing is a better way for deeper realizations than just thinking in the open wide space.
And remember your life gears shaping your life.

After realization come decisions and actions. May be it’s the right time for you to re-shape your life. Good luck.

Wake-UP Call 1

The coaching couch blog is about change , how to make change happens in your life in a smooth way. Here I invite you to relax while doing any necessary changes you need or desire. This is our general theme here, yet sometimes we need "wake-up calls" in order not to drift away or into the circle of procrastinations. Hence, I thought of starting a series of wake-up calls about life, time, purpose, dreams, and much more. I'll just write what comes to my mind without editing.

Our first wake-up call will be a general wake-up call then the following ones will be more specific.

Let's start.

Life is short. I know you are familiar with this sentence. Now, I assume that you are saying "what a brilliant coach, he discovered the undiscovered, hahaha, seems like it's another boring stupid blog written by someone pretending to be nice and wise". 
Wait, don't rush my friend and jump to conclusions. I didn't promise you magic or ultimate wisdom. It's a wake-up call. Be patient, read few more lines.

Your life is short.
It's not important whether this sentence sounds familiar or not. What I do care about is your realizations and following actions.

Sometimes we hear a certain sentence several times until we get used to it, until its meaning fades away.

Sometimes when we hear a sentence like that, we think that it's not directed to me, why should I be concerned, may be it's for others, may be to the man sitting next to me but not to me. My life will not be short and I'll be able to do all the things I want to do. I'll be famous, rich, healthy, successful, and I'll achieve my goals. I still have lots of time to do that. Well, wake-up, this is not true. Just look around you. You will easily figure out that many people came to this world and left it without much achievements, or without doing what they wanted and thought they would do in this life.

Sounds disappointing .. sounds negative ?! 
May be you are saying "how come he's saying he's a life coach!!", 
Don't judge me please, cause this is not the issue.
The issue is your life.

I'm just asking you -with all my heart and good intentions- to wake up and make the best use of your life. You won't be happy if you waste your life, cause simply it is just one life here.
No matter who you are, where you are, or what you do .. This ought to be your primary concern or at least a high priority issue that needs attention and some good actions.

At this point, I'd like to introduce you to one of your life enemies. "Procrastination"
If you are not familiar with the term .. Listen to the following sentences .. I'm sure you are more familiar with; "I'll do that later, I'll do that tomorrow", and tomorrow never comes, or comes very late.

Again I know that you know that, and again I'm reminding you I'm not inventing new concepts or passing great insights in this wake-up call. 

Dear .. take it serious .. fight your enemy .. Procrastination.
Procrastination has negative consequences as you know .. Mostly on feelings and emotions .. which in turn affect everything in your life. The procrastination package comes with regrets, frustrations, guilt, disappointments and with not much progress of course. 
Remember, progress is a human need that cannot be ignored.

You need to decide now what do you want. Re-read it again.

Write at least 10 things you are definite about .. 10 things you want to achieve .. And why?
Make a list .. An action plan .. Small steps .. First step .. Another step .. Practice .. Commit .. Adjust .. Action again .. Find people who will give you support .. Hire a coach .. Read .. Learn new strategies .. Try them .. Focus.

Do whatever it takes to get there. 
Just do it.
Don't waste your time .. Don't waste your life.
When you decide upon something .. Don't wait .. Just start .. Then adjust .. 
Focus on today .. Yes have a plan .. But planning is not the solution .. Awareness followed by consistent actions and persistent mind will get who there .. Just start NOW. Please.
Put your worries and fears away. Those are your biggest enemies. They are serial killers. Trust me, I've been there big time, and now they sometimes visit me, and I treat them as they deserve to be treated like. 
Sorry I was too serious this time. I promise I will be more fun next time.

I am inviting you to live your life.
It is your life.

I hope this wake-up call impacts your life in a positive way.
It's your journey. It's your story. Make it profound. Make it rich. 
Practice the power of NOW.

Next time we will discuss some tools to make that happen.
But NOW just focus on your decision. Focus on your reasons. Your journey. Your story that you want to tell some day.

Best of luck

Inspiring Story - Everyone can play, even Shay!

Everyone can play At a fundraising dinner for an American school that serves learning disabled children,the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended.

After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question: "When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does is done with perfection. Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do. Where is the natural order of things in my son?" The audience was stilled by the query.

The father continued. "I believe,that when a child like Shay, physically and mentally handicapped comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes, in the way other people treat that child."Then he told the following story:

Shay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked,"Do you think they'll let me play?" Shay's father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps.

Shay's father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting much. The boy looked around for guidance and said, "We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning." Shay struggled over to the team's bench put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his Father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart.

The boys saw the father's joy at his son being accepted. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as his father waved to him from the stands. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again. Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game? Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball.
However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing the other team putting winning aside for this moment in Shay's life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least be able to make contact. The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher. The game would now be over, but the pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game. Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman, out of reach of all team mates.

Everyone from the stands and both teams started yelling, "Shay, run to first! Run to first!" Never in his life had Shay ever ran that far but made it to first base. He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled. Everyone yelled, "Run to second, run to second!" Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to second base. By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time. He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman's head. Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home.
 
All were screaming, "Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay" Shay reached third base, the opposing shortstop ran to help him and turned him in the direction of third base, and shouted, "Run to third! Shay, run to third" As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams and those watching were on their feet were screaming,

"Shay, run home! Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the "grand slam" and won the game for his team.

That day, said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world. Shay didn't make it to another summer and died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy and coming home and seeing his mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day!

مقالة - القناعات سر نجاحك أو فشلك - بقلم نايف مختار - مدرب حياة

القناعات: الجزء الأول
القناعات سر نجاحك أو فشلك
النجاح على الرغم من صعوبته إلا أن أسراره أصبحت لا تخفىى على الكثير، فتحولت أسراره إلى أساسيات ومبادئ شبه واضحة تُكتَب وتُدرَّس وتٌطبَّق.
الغرض من هذه الخاطرة إلقاء الضوء على واحدة من أهم أسباب النجاح والفشل، وذلك الحكم أستنبطه من خلال تجربتي السنوات الماضية في ممارسة "التدريب على الحياة" – Life Coaching .
قبل أن أسترسل وأكتب ما يجول بخاطري، أقدم لك الرسالة التي أود وأتمني أن تصل إليك بوضوح من البداية ..
"قناعاتك سر نجاحك أو فشلك، تتحكم هى فى حياتك دون أن تشعر، والعكس هو الصحيح والمطلوب. انتبه".
نبدأ بالتعريف كما تعلمنا .. ولن نذهب إلى التعريفات اللغوية أو العلمية أو المعقدة .. أُعَرِّفُها كما أعرفها وأفهمها. (وبعد كل تعريف مثال فلا تتعجل)
القناعات هى أفكار تحولت إلى أشياء تؤمن بها بوعى وبدون وعى، أخذت شكل القواعد الداخلية التي تتبعها فتنعكس على قدراتك وسلوكك وقراراتك، وبالتبعية حياتك.
-         القناعات هى أفكار تم دعمها من خلال تجاربك الشخصية وتجارب الآخرين التي وصلتك ومازالت تصلك. ذلك الدعم جاء في صورة دلائل أو أدلة قمت أنت باختيارها سواء بوعى أو بدون وعى.
نبسط الكلام المجرد بمثال أوضح:
تخيل أنك بدأت يومك بفكرة لا تعرف مصدرها مثل (اليوم دة شكله كدة مش حلو)، ثم أخذت سيارتك وبدأت رحلة الذهاب إلى العمل، وبالطبع انغمست في المضايقات والمخاطرات والصراعات الأخلاقية-أقصد اللاأخلاقية والغزوات المرورية إلى أن وصلت بأعجوبة وبقدرة قادر إلى مكان عملك، فحمدت الله وشكرته وهذا فضل من الله. في نفس الوقت لم تنتبه إلى حديثك الداخلي مع نفسك طوال الرحلة والذي بالطبع كان سلبي، والأهم من ذلك أنك لم تنتبه أنك قمت بجمع أدلة من الطريق على صحة وجودة فكرتك الأصلية التي بدأت بها يومك ووضعت تلك الأدلة في حقيبة تتسع للمزيد. ثم توالت الأحداث فسكبت القهوة دون قصد على بعض الأوراق الهامة، وطلبك المدير بشكل فيه إنزعاج بسبب ضغوطه الخاصة والعملية. يحدث ذلك كله وأنت تقوم بنفس المهمة حتى إمتلأت حقيبتك بالأدلة الدامغة من وجهة نظرك بالطبع. انتهى اليوم بخسائر محدودة لكن الخسارة الأكبر هى أنك استطعت تحويل الفكرة التي لا تعرف مصدرها إلى قناعة تقول "بالفم المليان" (اليوم اللي يبتدي وحش بيكمل وحش كله)، وهنا تكمن المشكلة حيث تشكلت قناعة سلبية تؤثر على أيامك، قد تعيش معك حتى آخر يوم في حياتك. وإذا أردت التأكد استمع إلى شخص كبير في السن يردد تلك الجملة وكأنها حديث صحيح.
هكذا تتكون القناعات أو على الأقل كثير منها، والسؤال هنا: لم تعامل هذه الجملة وكأنها حديث صحيح ولا أريد أن أقول قرآن مُنزَل؟ لم وضعتها في سلَّة المُسَلَّمات؟ هل تصب في مصلحتك؟ هل تنفعك أم تضرك؟ الشاهد هكذا تتكون أو تتحول الفكرة إلى قناعة ويصبح تحريكها أصعب من تحريك الفكرة. الأدلة تختارها أنت. الأدلة العكسية موجودة كذلك. قد لا تراها لكنها موجودة.  قد لا تستطيع رؤيتها أحيانا وقد يكون الأمر عدم رغبة وليس عدم قدرة أحيانا.
-         القناعات تتكون كذلك من خلال الثقافات المختلفة، ثقافة مجتمعية، ثقافة دينية، عادات وتقاليد، ومن ذلك الأمثال الشعبية ..
مثال: مثل شعبي معروف وبسيط (مِن خاف، سِلم)
لا أحد ينكر أن هذا المثل الشعبي كغيره بات جزءاً من ثقافة الشعب ولا أحد ينكر أن تكراره على مسامعنا قد حوله عند كثير من الناس إلى شئ مُسَلَّم به يصل إلى درجة الإيمان. وهل في ذلك خطورة؟ ما تأثير ذلك على الشخص؟ هل له تأثير على سلوك الشخص وقراراته؟ هل يصب في مصلحته؟ هل يساعد على نجاحه؟ هل نتصور أن هذا الشخص يستطيع أن يتخذ قرارات جريئة أو خطوات إيجابية في مختلف المواقف؟ فَكِّر.
التأثير يكون قوي خفي قد لا يدركه الشخص وقد لا يربط بين أفعاله وقناعاته النابعة من ثقافة المجتمع. تلك الأقوال ليست منزلة من عند الخالق وإنما هى من صنع المخلوق، الذي قالها وصدقها ولم يناقشها وعاش معها حتى مات دون أن يدرك تأثيرها عليه وعلى من حوله وأن كثير من تلك الثقافات تحتاج إلى مراجعات وإعادة تقييم وتغيير، حتى نصل إلى ما نريد ونرغب من سعادة ونجاح. نعم العلاقة وطيدة بين قناعات الشخص ونجاحه وفشله.
 
ü  واجب عملي: استخرج بعض الأمثال الشعبية التي تؤمن بها وتصدقها، اكتب بعضها، وفكر في تأثيرها على حياتك وحياة غيرك في المواقف المختلفة.
ستجد مفاجآت، إنه تدريب تفكيري شيق لا تؤجله.
 
ماذا بعد؟ بعد أن تكتشف بنفسك صحة ما أقول، ستسأل نفسك "ماذا بعد؟"
ü  أبشر، فإن تلك القناعات التي تسيطر على حياتك يمكن تغييرها، يمكنك أنت أن تغيرها، والخطوة الأولى هى التفكير فى هذا المقال، ثم إسأل نفسك هذا السؤال: هل هناك قناعات شخصية تساعد على النجاح؟
 
ü  في المقال القادم بإذن الله سأساعدك في الإجابة عن هذا السؤال وأسئلة أخرى هامة تتعلق بكيفية تغيير تلك القناعات السلبية وكيفية تحويلها إلى قناعات إيجابية وكيفية إضافة قناعات صالحة نافعة أخري تؤدي بك إلى التقدم والنجاح إذا أردت ذلك بحق.
 
القناعات الشخصية مثل القواعد واللوائح الداخلية في المؤسسات، هى قواعد تُتبع وتؤثر على عمل المؤسسة ونجاحها وفشلها.
 
الأمر يستحق. فَكَّر. قرر.
تذكر الواجب العملي!!
 قناعاتك سر نجاحك أو فشلك، تتحكم هى فى حياتك دون أن تشعر، والعكس هو الصحيح والمطلوب. انتبه".

خاطرة بدون عنوان - نايف مختار

خاطرة بدون عنوان - 

أتأمل حال الناس وحال من أقوم بتدريبهم من خلال صنعتي التي أعشقها بفضل الله- "التدريب على الحياة"، فوجدت بعض الأنماط المتكررة مع اختلاف الأشخاص والشخصيات، أنماط إيجابية وأخرى سلبية ولست مهتم هنا بالتصنيف أو التبويب ..
 
 
المهم أنك عندما تتعامل مع الفرد بصفتك مدربه/مدربها الشخصي، يبدأ في فتح بعض الأبواب المغلقة ويترك أخرى موصدة لأسباب مختلفة، منها أسباب تتعلق بالشخص نفسه وأخرى تتعلق بإحساسه تجاهك كمدرب حياة وثقته بك أو ثقته بشكل عام.
 
وهنا أود أن أشير إلى أن موضوع الثقة أو بالأحرى "عدم الثقة" أصبح وأمسى نمطا متكررا عند شريحة كبيرة من الناس وهذا أمر يدعو للتأمل والتفكير في أبعاده وحلوله.
 
يشكو الشخص من انعدام الثقة وعدم قدرته على الثقة بالناس عموما ثم يتساءل عن سبب معاناته مع هؤلاء الذين لا يثق بهم. أعلم أن هناك أسباب جديرة ومعتبرة أدت إلى ذلك، لكني دائما أبحث عن حلول ولا أفضّل التسليم بالأمر الواقع والاستسلام لفكرة أو حتى لواقع سلبي يؤثر علينا بشكل كبير.
 
أنا مازلت في مرحلة التفكير. لكني لا ولن أؤيد فكرة التعامل والتواصل بدون الثقة، لأن ببساطة النتائج كارثية أو دعنا نقول تخفيفا نتائج غير صحية للأطراف كلها. لن أتعايش مع تلك الفكرة لأنها هدّامة، لن أتعايش معها حتى تصبح قناعة والتي هى أقوى من الفكرة، ثم مع الوقت تصبح ثقافة.
 
نعم لن أغيّر الكون بمفردي لأني لست حالما لكنّى أؤمن بالأحلام الواقعية. بمفردي قد لا أستطيع لكن علىّ أن أفكر في حدود قدراتي وأبحث عن دور لي بحجمي في كل مشكلة أو تحدي يواجهني أو يواجهنا بشكل عام.
 
أود فقط هنا أن أشير إلى أن الثقة لا تعني الثقة العمياء ولا تعني عدم الحرص أو الحذر. يمكنك أن تثق في الشخص دون أن تتخلى بشكل تام عن الحذر المناسب. نبدأ بحسن الظن ونتعامل ونحتفظ بقدر من الحذر أو الحرص، ونتوكل على الله ونحسن الظن به قبل أى شئ ونثق أنه لن يضيعني بسبب ثقتي وحسن ظني بالناس، فالله سبحانه وتعالى طلب منّي ذلك فكيف يضيّعني بسبب شئ طلبه منّي، ولا ننسي أنه قال لنا من خلال رسوله الكريم أن المؤمن كَيّسٌ فَطِن (مش كيس قطن). فلنجمع بين الأمرين: حسن الظن والفطنة والكياسة والملاحظة. سوء الظن لن يعود علينا بالنفع وهذا يقيني.
 
الأمر الآخر الذي لاحظته أن معظم من تعاملت معهم عندما يفتحون بعض الأبواب المغلقة، يظهر معدنهم الطيب وحبهم للخير والجمال والحق. المشكلة تظهر أحيانا في سوء التصرف والسلوك، والذي يرجع إلي أسباب عديدة منها تأثير البيئة المحيطة وأمور أخرى أتطرق لها لاحقا في خاطرة أخرى كى لا أطيل عليك هنا الآن.
 
الشخص الذي أمامك أحسن مما تظن لكنك لم تسمعه جيدا، لم تعرفه جيدا، وربما خلطت في ذهنك بين الشخص وسلوكه. الشخص أكبر وأكثر من سلوكه ولكل شخص مفاتيحه ولكننا أحيانا نلجأ إلى الكسل والتعميم وإصدار الأحكام بزعم الضغوط والوقت وأمور أخرى.
 
حاول أن تخرج أحس ما فيمن أمامك، قد يتطلب بل سيتطلب الأمر بعض المجهود، لكنه في النهاية يستحق خاصة وإن كان شخص قريب أو حبيب.
 
لا تسأم من كثرة المحاولات فلعل محاولة تفلح وتنجح. أحيانا لا يكون المطلوب فقط كثرة المحاولات ولكن كيفيتها واختلافها حتى تصل إلى مرادك ومبتغاك.
 
أحسن النوايا واستحضرها قدر المستطاع واحتسب عند الله فالأمر كله بيده سبحانه.
 
هذا ما كان يجول بخاطري ورغبت في التعبير عنه بشكل تلقائي
أتمنى أن يصل إلى قلبك كما خرج من قلبي

Attention: Your Comfort Zone is NOT a Safe Place !


Do you think you can stay safe in your comfort zone? Till when?



The answer is "No" .. It won't last forever .. Trust me and don't deceive yourself .. please ..


[Don't think that you can avoid "change". "Change" happens and will happen whether you like it or not.]
The game is to MAKE "change" by yourself and not to wait and react when it hits you. The game is to move towards it instead of running or walking away from it. Some people might think that "change" is linked to risk, while reality says that staying still in your place (your comfort zone) without making "change" is the real risk.

Avoid risk by deciding to change. It feels good. You will enjoy it because you will surely feel ALIVE.

It only takes a simple decision and a professional life coach.
You are two steps close to it.
So "just do it"














You have one of two choices and it's up to you:

1) stay in your comfort zone, try to avoid change, talk excuses and enjoy some secondary gain whether consciously or not (we'll talk about secondary gains in a later post, or you can search it:).

Results:
Waste of time (years) and all your precious resources
Frequent depression and negative state
Postponing your success
Sacrificing excellence
Etc.
And then, guess what, change will happen !!!
But in this case, it will be;
- Sudden
- Dramatic/ Drastic
- Obligatory
- Comprises some major sacrifices

2) decide to avoid risk by getting out of your comfort zone, detect early signals for change, before reaching the edge where you don't have choices.

Results:
Opposite to the above mentioned results, and you can easily add more.

Change will be:
- Gradual
- Modest
- Chosen
- Might comprise some minor sacrifices (might not)


So, you have the choice, and honestly it's up to you.
I will repeat my message again ...
Avoid risk by deciding to change. It feels good. You will enjoy it because you will surely feel ALIVE.
It only takes a simple decision and a professional life coach.
You are two steps closer
So "just do it"















I can help - if you wish (sorry .. if you decide)
