¿Cómo puedes ayudar a los clientes a encontrar su pasión por un nuevo pasatiempo?

Certainly, the notion of adopting a hobby transcends the mere suggestion that one "should" engage in new pastimes. There's a fascinating interplay with neuroplasticity when you immerse yourself in a fresh activity, acquiring new skills, and crossing paths with diverse individuals. Take skateboarding, for instance. It reshapes your perception of the urban landscape just as profoundly as embarking on street photography does. Both pursuits offer novel lenses through which to view your surroundings, thereby enhancing your ability to perceive the world in different lights. This, in turn, can have a ripple effect on your capacity for innovative thinking and problem-solving.

Discovering and fostering a passion for a new hobby can be a transformative journey, and guiding clients in this pursuit is a valuable endeavor. Hobbies matter not just as enjoyable pastimes but as essential contributors to overall well-being. Engaging in activities one is passionate about provides an avenue for relaxation, stress relief, and a break from routine. Hobbies offer a sense of accomplishment, boosting confidence and self-esteem. Moreover, they can enhance mental and emotional health, fostering creativity and providing an outlet for self-expression.

Muitas vezes, profissionais insatisfeitos no trabalho, acabam investindo em um hobby para que seus talentos, assim como potencial criativo, sejam extravasados. Também existe aqueles que não se sentem desafiados e que por isso, colocam energia em atividades fora do ambiente do trabalho.

When you have a hobby, you enjoy your time doing things that you like, May be painting, drawing or running. You improve your confidence and self esteem.

A hobby is a great description of something we do just for fun. Which is why a lot of us don't have hobbies. We've been taught that just having fun isn't enough. (Which is why even this post has to add reasons to enjoy hobbies, besides fun.) So it's not really about helping people to spark passion and enthusiasm, it's about remembering the things we do for fun, even if there is no "pay off" and freeing ourselves to enjoy life! Just for fun, like we did as kids. Not for Instagram, not because of some vague "wellbeing" idea, just because... we feel like it.

Dedicating time to a hobby is an important part of improving your own self-worth as you can lose yourself in a hobby, and enter a state of flow when you're ready engaged. It's a great way to improve your relationship with yourself, and it means you always have something enjoyable to keep you occupied.

Start with getting your coaching clients to make a list of what they are interested in and what makes them happy and then build it from there getting them to try new things and step out of their comfort zone!

We prioritize discussing the importance of whole-life balance with our small business owners. Hobbies serve as a powerful tool for our entrepreneurs to momentarily step away from work pressures and the stress storms of life.

In the world of small business, where challenges are frequent, encouraging our entrepreneurs to embrace hobbies becomes a strategy for sustaining their well-being. It's a proactive approach to maintaining mental and emotional resilience. As small business advocates, we emphasize the transformative impact hobbies can have on recharging the mind and fostering a renewed sense of purpose.

Es importante descubrir que es lo que te gusta, porque está en contacto con tu esencia, con tu disfrute y tu creatividad. A veces pasamos por alto que las cosas más simples son las que nos aportan sentido a nuestra vida. Es más, descubrir lo que te gusta, te permite ver la vida desde otro punto y abrirte a nuevas posibilidades, más coherentes contigo, incluso convertirse en tu profesión. Es tu autenticidad

Assisting clients in discovering their passion for a new hobby involves a thoughtful exploration of options. Start by encouraging them to reflect on their interests, values, and curiosities. Suggest trying out a variety of activities, attending workshops, or exploring online platforms to get a taste of different hobbies. It's essential to embrace an open-minded approach, allowing clients to experiment without pressure. Connecting with local communities, joining clubs, or seeking advice from experienced enthusiasts can provide valuable insights. The key is to encourage a process of trial and error, helping clients discover what resonates with them on a personal level.

A coach, guided by the principle "we coach people, not the subjects," places a strong emphasis on helping clients explore their interests and hobbies aligned with their identity and values. The process begins with attentive listening, allowing the coach to understand the client's unique passions and aspirations. I believe this personalized and identity-centric coaching journey empowers individuals to authentically explore their interests and hobbies, fostering a sense of purpose and alignment with their values.

Um an die Themen für ein Hobby zu kommen, nutze ich im Coaching oft kreative und mentale Methoden, da wir durch diese Zugriff auf das Unterbewusstsein bekommen. Dort liegen oft Potentiale brach, auf die der Klient aktiv keinen Zugang hat. Es kann zum Beispiel sein, dass jemand in der Kindheit sehr kreativ war, doch von den Eltern diese Fähigkeit bzw. Leidenschaft nicht gefördert oder sogar unterbunden wurde. Dadurch hat der Klient gelernt, dass sein Interesse nicht wichtig für das Leben ist und dieses nach und nach losgelassen. Doch in seinem Unterbewusstsein ist es immer da und erzeugt eine Sehnsucht, die auch quälend werden kann. Dann ist es an der Zeit, wieder Kontakt aufzunehmen. Das führt oft zur Erhöhung der Lebensqualität.

Una forma de buscar opciones es trabajar en sus necesidades humanas (Control, variedad, reconocimiento, amor/conexión, crecimiento y contribución), evaluar en conjunto cuales son las preferidas y posteriormente cuales están siendo satisfechas en sus espacios laborales, familiares, sociales. Con esta información revisamos si está buscando alguna necesidad en un espacio u actividad que no corresponde o si alguna necesidad no la cubre algún espacio, con esto podemos buscar pasatiempos que cubran las necesidades más importantes y/o que satisfagan las menos cubiertas.

One way to access what lights us up is to remember what you loved to do as a child. This can be an excellent source of inspiration for identifying a new hobby as well as valuable input when wanting to pursue a new career path.

As coaches we listen and observe a lot at the first place. Then we share our observations with clients. So for the challenge of finding a new hobby it is our task as coaches to ask right questions on the things we observe and hear from our clients about their strengths, passions, interests and daily habits. Sometimes we just need to help our clients realize the value of interests that they already have. If someone is creative, but does not consider creativity beings a strength or even talent, we can help them seeing that and finding right ways to channel their creative energy.

The journey of finding a new hobby begins with exploration. It's like to wandering through an eclectic market, sampling a bit of everything. Encourage clients to dip their toes into various activities — from the serene to the adventurous. This phase is about casting a wide net, letting curiosity be the compass.

What works quite well is going on a time travel journey... take them back to when they were 6 years old and ask what they loved doing then - often that sparks ideas and fire to go back to what they loved doing and havent done in 30 years :-) Or take them into the future saying "you achieved everything you always wanted, nothing left to do" - now you got time to do what you always wanted to do but never had time for....

We can throw a lot of ideas around but we can only discover our passion or hobby by actually getting our hands dirty. We have to try everything that catches our interest. As we keep eliminating the things that were of only passing fancy, we discover our hobby or our passion.

Guiding clients to discover their passion for a new hobby involves fostering a spirit of experimentation and continuous learning. Encourage them to try various activities, even those outside their comfort zone, to uncover hidden interests. Suggest taking beginner classes, watching online tutorials, or attending local workshops to gain exposure. Emphasize that the learning process is as valuable as finding the perfect hobby. Mistakes and challenges are part of the journey, helping clients refine their preferences. Encourage a growth mindset, where each experience contributes to personal development.

Once the exploration phase unfolds, the next step is experimentation. It's the laboratory of self-discovery. Guide clients to immerse themselves fully in the chosen activities. It's not about perfection; it's about the joy of learning. Celebrate the process, and encourage a mindset that embraces mistakes as stepping stones to mastery.

In my experience learning new skills and making mistakes is the best way to improve. Then evaluations based on previous work performance compared to with new skills.

Start with what you’re curious about. Passion is born in your curiosity. Explore new things, discover new experiences and learn new skills. Watch where your joy appears—that’s another clue for passion.

✍️ Keeping track of progress will help your client to identify their passions and their sabotage. 🤯 We can all say we want to do X but when it comes to the crunch the thing that stops us like 'not having enough ⏰ time', which on paper seems like a reasonable answer is most likely an excuse. ⭕️ Tracking will help you and clients join the dots looking back as the late Steve Jobs once said.

I believe first you lead the Client to identify their passion/s if they don’t already know what they feel passionate about. Then, you support them in turning their passion/s into their hobby or hobbies. If you don’t feel passionate about something, it won’t become a hobby and it will only seem like a chore. A hobby is doing something you feel passionate about. First you feel passionate about something, then you turn your passion into something profitable for you either as a profession or as a hobby. Passion has the great advantage, in that it doesn’t make you feel tired.

Before our actual guidance about "how too...", we need to earn the trust and one of the ways is trough personal example of how we do experimenting and how we are learning new skills or knowledge. For that we must share our "why". The curiosity itself may lead to something, but without wisely directed reason or purpose would only waste our time. Experimenting need to be out of our comfort zone or outside of our usual point of view, specialization or proficiency. When comes to the learning, there is no better way than gamification approach, combined with the adequate number of repetitions as visualization, thinking, doing or asking questions.

É o início das realizações e prazer. Elevar o ego de realizar e orgulho em compartilhar o que está iniciando ou desenvolvendo.

Oft haben Klienten das Gefühl, dass ihnen etwas fehlt, ein Ausgleich, eine Inspiration, etwas Sinnstiftendes. Ein Hobby zu haben und zu pflegen, ist stärkend und erfüllend. Wichtig ist, zuerst zu erkennen, was genau es ist und es in den Tagesablauf einzubauen. Dafür braucht man Zeit und diese fehlt vielen Menschen heute in der Arbeitswelt. Daher sollte für das Hobby eine feste Zeitplanung gemacht werden. Um in der Sache am Ball zu bleiben, ist es sinnvoll, sich dem Hobby in einer Gruppe mit Gleichgesinnten zu widmen oder sich Coachingbegleitung zu suchen. Es ist oft erstaunlich, wie viel Lebenskraft Klienten durch die Ausübung ihres Hobbys erhalten. Das wirkt sich auf ihr gesamtes Umfeld aus, sie sind ausgeglichener und haben mehr Energie.

Most of the hobbies I’ve had weren’t my idea initially. I think that’s the case for most people. At first it was my parents who pushed me to try things. Then it was friends. Some of these hobbies were difficult and frustrating, like golf. Plus it was expensive when I had little money. However, because I enjoyed those PEOPLE who kept inviting me, I kept going and eventually I got decent at it and I began to enjoy it. Now, I must mention that external influence can absolutely be harmful as well. If you have friends that their hobby is to drink, odds are you’re gunna drink. I didn’t like to drink or smoke weed when I first started, but by continuously hanging out with the same people, eventually it became a habit that took 15yrs to break.

Well, if you don´t find time or resources or else to try out a new hobby, then you actually don´t want it enough! That´s a provocative statement - these can help to piss the client off. When they are pissed off enough they will respond to me: "No way, you are wrong! I will show you how wrong you are!" And then they will find a way to make it happen. If what they want to do is meaningful enough to them, then they will find a way :-)

You need to actually want to do a hobby for you, not just because others are suggesting it and you are feeling peer pressure to join one. Also the same goes if you start going to a new hobby but are not getting any joy or fulfilment from it, then don’t keep going for the sake of it. If there is something about how it is run, or you are having a problem with any individuals that go, you can speak to the person running the hobby to provide feedback and see if any changes can be made that may make it more accessible or enjoyable for them.

I would suggest they try different hobbies that they are interested in, not because it’s the latest trend or their friends are all telling them they should do it. A good hobby should have you full immersed so you forget about everything and lose track of time.

Obstacles are inevitable, but they are not roadblocks; they are detours. Assist clients in navigating challenges with resilience. Whether it's time constraints, initial frustration, or self-doubt, overcoming obstacles is a vital part of the journey. Share strategies for reframing setbacks as opportunities for growth.

A great method I usually use with implementing a new habit, Enforcing positively the new habit (in this case the hobby), How ? Easy by digging other enjoyable already rooted habits and see what can they add to the new one (hobby), Usually it is an environmental enforcement or an inner-talk self-affirmation.

🚀 Hurdles are feedback! 📌 Your job as the coach is to help your clients reframe obstacles. To help them see that their actions are giving them choices, and that choices are a sign of progress versus stagnation!

When it comes to hobbies, motivation plays a huge role in selecting the correct one. There are always excuses to not train, attend a gathering or club night, however that desire and motivation is what separates the ones that find the time to do their hobby and those that don’t. To overcome obstacles, we can seek to understand what they are, the reasons the client is finding difficulty and see the solutions on offer. There has to be a payoff for anyone to get beyond the obstacles!

Hobbies are the connection to our inner voice of self compassion. They can lead us to inner strength, positive energy, focus & stability. It can be our long term companion - bringing a meaningful activity into our daily or weekly routine.

To retain a hobby not just the passion or interest for it will sustain the anchor. You need to be aware of the simple things of how to actually carry out an activity. As: is the hobby, one you can do at home, one you can do on your own, easy to get to, all year activities, a partner/team activity, do it need a lot of equipment etc. 👉If it’s an ‘easy to do’ it can be likely easier to retain. 👉A fixed rhythm & routine also helps to maintain the hobby. 👉If you have companionship in the hobby it can too be easier to retain. Reflections about the above will be relevant for framing the ‘one’ hobby that can be sustained and be our long term companion.

They can be encouraged to make a particular hobby part of their lives by letting them know how that can turn them into a better version of themselves. For instance, going for a morning walk everyday can not only help to improve their physical health but also would provide them with an opportunity to reflect, be creative and this will ultimately lift their mood. We need to encourage them about how a hobby can be a source of happiness to them which will definitely change their personalities in a better way!

Hobbies can be encouraged and will be self-sustaining if these can be aligned with client's financial goals. Important point is to publicise the hobbies and let others benefit from these.

Sustainability is the heartbeat of a lasting hobby. Help clients weave their newfound passion into the fabric of their lives. This involves creating routines, setting realistic goals, and fostering a sense of accountability. Delve into methods for deepening the experience — from advanced skills to connecting with like-minded communities.

É a hora avaliar a evolução e levantar o sarrafo. Subir o nível e ou criar seus sucessores. O hobby levado a sério, mas com toda a alegria, paixão e prazer do início.

Etwas aus dem Herzen zu tun, statt aus dem Verstand, macht einen großen Unterschied. Menschen dürfen wieder lernen, sich aus dem Herzen zu führen, aus ihrer Intuition. Und diese Haltung als Maßstab für ihr Leben zu sehen. Denn wenn sie mit ihrem Herzen verbunden sind, wird das Leben leichter. Und wenn sie ihr Hobby ausüben, welches sie von Herzen lieben, wird es ihnen mehr Lebensfreude und somit Gesundheit bringen. Wenn dies gespürt werden kann, ist es einfacher und nachhaltiger, das Hobby in das Leben zu integrieren und es nicht schnell wieder aufzugeben. Es ist essentiell, mit dem Klienten diese Verbindung im Coaching zu stärken und nachhaltige Umsetzungsideen zu entwickeln, sodass der Klient aus sich heraus an seinem Hobby dranbleibt.

Com o tempo, o próprio hobby fará parte do seu desejo em especializar-se no assunto escolhido. Isso estimulará cada vez mais a vontade de descobrir novas estratégias para a vida social e profissional.

Para sustentar o benefício do autoconhecimento a partir deles, reflita sobre suas paixões, interesses e o que lhe traz satisfação. Considere suas habilidades e preferências. Conhecer a si mesmo é fundamental para escolher hobbies que realmente o envolvam! Permite-se explorar diferentes situações. Esteja aberto a experimentar diferentes hobbies antes de tomar uma decisão final. Isso pode envolver participar de aulas, workshops, eventos ou simplesmente experimentar algo por conta própria. Leve em conta seu estilo de vida e agenda ao escolher um hobby ou um momento de ócio criativo. Considere que ele seja prático e sustentável em termos de tempo e recursos disponíveis.

Como coach pessoal, é crucial orientar os clientes a manter e aprofundar sua paixão por novos hobbies. Isso envolve estabelecer metas desafiadoras, explorar diferentes aspectos do hobby e integrá-lo na vida diária. Ao fazer isso, os clientes podem encontrar significado contínuo, satisfação e bem-estar emocional através de seus hobbies, além de expressar seu potencial máximo. Como coach, seu papel é guiar e apoiar os clientes nessa jornada de descoberta e crescimento pessoal.

Ich hatte Klienten, der eine ihn sehr belastende Krankheit hatte und ins Coaching kam, weil er als Führungskraft erschöpft war. Ich habe schnell erfasst, was die wahre Ursache ist. Er ist ein leidenschaftlicher Mensch, kreativ und liebt Musik. In seiner raren Freizeit hat er gemalt und komponiert. Doch seine Partnerin tolerierte das nicht und so musste er es heimlich tun. Eines Tages brachte er seine Werke mit ins Coaching und wir haben diese als Grundlage für die weitere Entwicklung im Coaching genutzt und Möglichkeiten erarbeitet, wie er in Zukunft sein Hobby aktiv in sein Leben einbauen kann. Ein Gespräch mit dem CEO führte dazu, dass er die Möglichkeit bekam, eine Musikschule zu besuchen. Seine Krankheit hat sich schnell gebessert.

I feel the most important part of this discussion is that people spend time on the things they prioritize. I've had clients put their hobby on the calendar, but when they don't consciously make it a priority, a must-do and "unavoidable," then it's easy to let other things take its place. It's all about boundaries and self-love. Doing something for themselves, when they're often in the habit of doing for others, can be a challenge, but it's essential to carve out time for the things that make them come alive, otherwise, Burnout will be waiting just around the corner.

The truth is there is NO SET IN STONE process to figure these things out. Every person is different. It comes down to experiences. I highly encourage all young people to explore the possibility of leaving the place they grew up, at least for a little while. It’s a huge world, full of different cultures, foods, places, ideas, and beauty. I’ve noticed this major difference in mindset amongst the people associate with who have lived in the same place forever and those who have relocated. It’s very difficult to understand just how different things are in other places until you experience it. I believe that’s a major flaw of first world citizens. We are very ignorant to how different cultures live, and to why they may believe what they believe.

Ich begann in einer komplexen Krise mit einem Hobby, das bis zu meinem 42. Lebensjahr ein Traum war. In einem Burnout kaufte ich mir ein Pferd. Blue wurde meine beste Lehrerin und Coachin. Gemeinsam sind wir nun schon 15 Jahre unterwegs. Von Blue lernte ich, auf mich und meine Intuition zu achten und meiner inneren Stimme zu vertrauen. Sie lehrte mich, im Hier und Jetzt zu sein und Wettbewerbsgedanken loszulassen. Blue trug mich, bevor ich überhaupt reiten konnte. Sie half mir, mich selbst zu spüren und öffnete meine Empathie. Sie lehrte mich, auf meinen Körper zu achten, die Bedeutung von Pausen und dass Prozesse Zeit brauchen. Sie zentriert mich noch heute u. ich bin voller Dankbarkeit für unsere Begegnung - jedes Mal, wenn ich sie sehe.
