Life, Youth & Wellness Coaching

As a Life Coach, but more importantly just as a human being, I understand how crucial it is to recharge our mental, emotional, physical & spiritual batteries so we can show up as our best selves.

For those of us in support professions, prioritising self-care is essential to maintain the energy, focus, and mindset necessary to support others.

Over the weekend, I try to make sure I do the things I love that help me reset and recharge—both for my own well-being and to continue guiding my clients effectively.

Below are my top five ways to recharge, as well as why these practices are crucial for mental clarity, emotional balance, and somatic health.

1. Nature Walks: Grounding and Recharging Through Nature

Nature is one of the most powerful tools for a mindset coach to use to clear the mental clutter and regain focus. I love taking walks on the Sunshine Coast, whether by the beach or through a peaceful park. Spending time outdoors provides me with the opportunity to disconnect from the constant flow of digital communication and step into a space of calm. Nature helps me become present, grounding me physically and mentally.

Why it works for Life Coaching clients: Nature resets the nervous system, helping to regulate stress and anxiety, which is a core focus of somatic coaching. Walking outdoors also stimulates the mind and body connection, which is crucial for those seeking personal growth through mindset coaching.

2. Unplugging from Technology: A Digital Detox for Mental Clarity

One of the most essential practices for a life coach like me is the weekend digital detox. By stepping away from emails, social media, and work-related tasks, I give my mind the space it needs to unwind. This time away from screens allows me to focus on personal reflection, engage in creative activities, and practice mindfulness without distractions.

Why it works for Mindset Coaching: Constant exposure to digital devices can overwhelm our nervous system and lead to mental burnout. By taking time off from technology, we can reset our mindset, improve focus, and enhance creativity, which helps in both coaching and personal well-being.

3. Mindful Movement: Yoga and Somatic Practices to Release Tension

As a life coach who also specialises in Somatic Coaching, I prioritise mindful movement every day of my life. Whether it’s yoga, tai chi, or simply a light walk, moving my body is an essential practice that allows me to release physical tension and reconnect with my body. I believe that somatic practices are key to managing stress, improving emotional regulation, and increasing overall well-being.

Why it works for Somatic Coaching: Somatic coaching emphasises the connection between the body and mind. By engaging in mindful movement, I help myself—and encourage my clients—to become more aware of their physical sensations, which is crucial for emotional balance and stress management.

4. Creative Expression: Tapping Into My Inner Flow

I also make time for creative activities, such as brainstorming new coaching ideas, reading, or writing. Engaging in creative expression allows me to tap into a deeper flow state, freeing my mind from the demands of everyday life. This creative space fuels my inspiration, helping me feel more energized and connected to my work.

Why it works for Life Coaching: Creativity is a powerful way to stimulate the brain and release emotional blocks. Engaging in creative activities supports personal growth and resilience, which is central to mindset coaching and the journey of self-discovery.

5. Self-Care Rituals: Prioritising Wellness and Self-Compassion

Lastly, I ensure that I carve out time for self-care. Whether it’s indulging in a relaxing bath, nourishing my body with wholesome food, or simply my morning breathwork practice, these rituals are my way of practicing self-compassion. As a life coach, I know that you can’t pour from an empty cup—taking care of myself allows me to show up for my clients with the energy and presence they need.

Why it works for Life Coaching clients: Self-care isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity for emotional and physical well-being. By encouraging my clients to engage in self-care practices, I help them build resilience and emotional intelligence, which is essential for mindset shifts and growth.

Conclusion: Prioritise Your Weekend Recharge

As a life coach, I am constantly reminding my clients of the importance of recharging. We often overlook the need to take care of ourselves, but it’s only by doing so that we can show up fully for others. Whether you are seeking support through life coaching, mindset coaching, or somatic coaching, it’s important to build rituals into your weekend that nourish you and keep you aligned with your goals. Remember, you can’t serve others if you’re running on empty. Find what works for you and make recharging a priority.
