Coaching Drives Essential
Self-Care
As we move into December, students will be managing coursework, family, and different learning platforms, finishing a challenging fall as best they can while trying to keep boundaries around temptations. Many students have hybrid courses, and at some institutions, students have gone home after Thanksgiving to finish classes remotely. Many of you will be coaching students in hybrid forms as they manage their lives and you manage the various complexities of your own life.
Coaching helps you to help students focus on completing the semester and plan for the best spring possible. It also helps you to keep yourself as anchored as possible as the end-of-semester challenges and due dates build. As you work to compartmentalize and cope with your own personal pressures, ask yourself coaching questions such as these:
What concerns me most in this moment, and what action
can I take to address it?
What can I take off my plate today?
Should I ask for help with a specific challenge,
and whom might I ask?
This Washington Post article notes, the most accessible and meaningful self-care is rooted in self-knowledge and community connection, and goes way beyond “buying wellness.” Coaching can help you avoid living in a “holidaze” and experience a more meaningful holiday season, training your focus on what matters most for those you coach, yourself, and your loved ones.
