Stress is the most common reason people abandon their health goals. It depletes self-control, lowers feelings of self-efficacy and decreases energy and motivation.

Too much stress triggers negative emotions such as anxiety, anger and sadness.

Many people tend to respond unproductively to negative feelings and extreme emotional stress by over eating, even when they are not hungry.

Guiding clients to monitor and manage stress levels provides valuable feedback and keeps clients on track.

Well designed lifestyle modification plans strive to produce as little stress as possible, especially for emotional eaters.

Sometimes a goal to “eat less” than normal causes more stress, which can lead, paradoxically, to overeating.

A health care team is now globally recognized as an essential tool for constructing a more effective and patient-centered health care delivery system.

Most people know that physical activity is important, but they’re either pressed for time, tired, frustrated or confused about how to achieve results — so they just give up (not knowing how essential exercise really is).

This is where health coaches come into play and provides support, empathy and more information when requested. Having a team approach allows the best qualities of each speciality to shine.

Doctors are becoming increasingly overwhelmed with patients who need extra support improving their health.

Most physicians do not have the extra time to assist patients in this way, which is why they are enlisting the services of health coaches.

Studies report that 50% of patients do not fully understand the advice of their physician. (Chodosh et al., 2005).

Among those who do understand, few internalize and act upon the advice, “eat less and exercise more” or even to take a given medication, with over 50% of medication prescriptions left unfilled (Sabate, 2003).

A team based approach reduces medication errors, supports patients and improves the limited amount of time doctors have with their patients each visit.

Many people often say, “I know what I’m supposed to do. I just can’t seem to get myself to do it.”

People tend to consistently underestimate the time, energy, and other resources required to complete health related tasks and have a tendency to set unrealistic fitness goals.

Lifestyle Modification Tools:

• Health history form and medical clearance (when necessary)

• One-to-One virtual and in-person health coaching

• Personalized daily health habit prompts

• Activity, nutrition, and behavior-change plans

• Exploration of preferences and self-determined health goals

• Set realistic goals and take small steps that reinforce confidence

• Self-monitoring and performance tracking tools

• Feedback surveys, weekly check-ins, progress updates

Successful behavioral change is almost always the result of SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Time-Bound) goals accumulated over time.

Goal Setting Tips:

• Specific goals add structure and direct energy to manageable actions and tasks

• Avoid setting overly general or unrealistic goals. These type of goals can demotivate and overwhelm people

• Transforming large, life goals into a series of small, task-oriented goals provides a roadmap for success

• Achieve your goals faster with agenda mapping, weekly goal attainment check-ins and a variety of on-going support tools

Accountability is the fundamental structure that keeps the conversation going and helps the coach and client have a mutual understanding, what goals the client agrees to start working on.

This helps people stay-on-track as they plan and commit to taking action and in return, learn from the action they take, or don’t take.

Inquiry Questions:

• What are you going to do?

• When will you have it done?

• How will you be accountable?

The planning phase establishes new habits and routines, determines when and clients will begin these actions and envisions how these changes will fit into their life.

The most effective behavior change strategies are stage-specific interventions that target the present mindset clients have as they progress from one stage to the next.

• Precontemplation (not thinking about change)

• Contemplation (weighing the pros and cons)

• Preparation (getting ready to make a change)

• Action (practicing the new behavior)

• Maintenance (incorporating the new behavior)

Those in preparation, action and maintenance have advanced to the planning and execution stage.
