Contemplation:

“Serious and quiet thought for a period of time” (Cambridge Dictionary).

“Thoughtful or long consideration or observation, purpose or intention” (Collins Dictionary).

Contemplation plays a key role in self-awareness. Being self-aware is necessary to

·       understand what truly matters to you

·       explore your purpose

·       understand your behaviours

·       check in on your values.

When armed with this ability, you’re able to effectively explore what works for you, resulting in a happy and healthy life. Although most of us ‘strive’ to live a happy and healthy life, we somehow lose touch of what truly matters, resulting in actions and behaviours that don’t actually serve us and support well being or happiness. A holistic health coach as described by the International Association of Health Coaches (IAHC) “partners with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximise their personal and professional potential”.

Smiling Professionals are big on contemplation. Contemplation might seem a bit deep for some, but it doesn’t have to be, nor does the act of contemplation have to be long. Synonyms that might resonate better with you could be: Reflection, Musing, Thoughtfulness, Consideration, Meditation, Manifestation….

The Bespoke Health Coaching Program by Smiling Professionals will provide guidance and support to help you explore self awareness using contemplation (or it’s synonyms!) to help you become a healthier and happier Being.
