I’m a huge fan of lists. I use them often because they are abbreviated reminders of what I want to accomplish in a given day, week, or year. Lists help me collect my thoughts and prioritize what needs to be done. They shape my day and free me up to think about more important things. Lists are time-savers and sometimes lifesavers. Lists are also a great way to highlight important facts.
The following lists were developed to generate an overview of coaching and how it can help you bring clarity and peace of mind into your life. Because happiness means different things to different people, the first list provides (synonyms) for happiness. The second list covers topics a happiness coach might employ to help you become happier. The third list contains situations that might motivate you to seek out a coach.
