What Does a Happiness Coach Do?
Happiness coaching isn’t about painting a rosy picture over life and ignoring reality. Happiness coaching is about changing whatever isn’t allowing us to live authentically, working to decrease negative thought patterns, and savoring the good in our lives. As a happiness coach you may work with a variety of techniques for mind, body, and spirit to help your clients create a lifestyle and environment that promotes happiness and emotional wellbeing. Often, what leads an individual to seek out happiness coaching is struggle, change, or emotional pain. You could specialize in providing happiness coaching services to people in a particular demographic group, such as professional women, millennials, or baby boomers, or you might specialize in helping people going through a life transition such as an empty nest, divorce, or retirement.
