One of the more important aspects of Lifecoaching, is to lead your life and therethrough set boundaries. Recently, I was met with a situation that became an example to practice this. I’ve been seeing a physiotherapist for a couple of months, due to having experienced some pain in my shoulders, sitting bones, and knees that I needed help to cope with. But, last week, my physiotherapist here in Sweden, had just made an appointment on his own, that I received a confirmation on by text, without talking to me first.

Since I didn’t have any other appointment booked at that specific time, it became hard to find a reason to turn this down, but both did I have other things planned to do, the commute is long and I didn’t feel it was necessary to come so often (Since I dance, it’s fairly easy for me to remember exercises to do on my own). But most of all, I didn’t like the way he set it up, not asking me first. Or was I wrong? Did I need this more than I realise myself? When it comes to healthcare, it isn’t always so easy to discern, and to trust your own gut feeling, but, we must!

The day after, I called to cancel. They only had their answering machine on, but I left a message. Later that same afternoon, they called but without hearing my cancellation. My physiotherapist had fallen ill and had to cancel himself. Thus, we postponed it to next week and I also shared why.

Do you have any situations or relationships that you don’t feel treated the way you need, to feel good about them? Discussing this with a life-coach, and then trying different approaches for yourself with your own examples, will enable you to lead your life better too.
