How to Coach Yourself and Others Grief Coaching and Counseling | Page 26

The following guidelines can help as you reclaim your life:
1. Allow yourself time to complete the grieving process.
2. Be aware of your feelings on all levels; physical, emotional, mental, and
spiritual.
3. Bring as much positive energy into all areas of your life, and don't be
afraid to reach out and talk about your feelings and emotions.
4. Practice relaxation and incorporate moments of mindful meditation into
your daily life.
5. Give yourself breathing space. Slow down and give yourself the necessary
time to heal. Remember, you don't "get over" loss, you progressively "move
on."
6. Keep a journal of your feelings and what you want for yourself and your
life.
7. Ask yourself what your heart and soul wants and what's keeping you
from it.
8. Remind yourself that you are in charge of your life at any given time and
have a choice to heal or stay wounded.
9. Become aware of any negative attitudes and conscientiously work at
letting in some joy and happiness.
10. Remember that you are never alone. Love is everywhere.
