Dr. Albert Viljoen is a qualified medical Doctor who has transitioned into a Life Coach. He’s worked in this space for the last decade. Albert believed he could better help his patients with lifestyle diseases by being a Life Coach rather than giving them medical support that didn’t treat the root cause. In this episode Albert and I take a deep dive into the emotions of this current COVID-19 pandemic. We discuss what a “normal” response to a global crisis is and this dialogue will give you some relief and peace of mind that you’re reaction is not abnormal. I share my experience as a client of Albert’s in 2015/2016 and the benefits of being a receiver of Life Coaching and how by being coached yourself, you gain tools to use in your own relationships. Albert walks us through a quick box technique breathing sesh as a suggestion for those of us who are looking for new ways to practice meditation. Finally, Albert is offering free coaching during this unprecedented time. This is a great opportunity that you won’t want to pass up, please see links below!

A Humane Response to Crisis | Dr. Albert Viljoen

We discuss: 1. Willpower Misunderstanding of willpower. We tend to see tough decisions, and assume we need willpower to overcome then. A more useful response, is to make it easier for ourselves. I'd say: create the type of environment that requires the least amount of willpower necessary. Some internal stories that prevent people from making changes. (Having to scale the mountain / change my whole life / sacrifice x,y,z). Then we can play with some ways of reframing these obstacles. 2. Tools / habits for behaviour change  The previous topic flows nicely into some tools and habits that work well, and give people ideas of where to start first. We can talk about the habit cycle (Charles Duhigg), leveraging easy habits or small wins, and habit-stacking. We can also look at some examples of game theory: building support structures, rewards and small goals into their daily lives. 3. Getting clearer on what you really want  Most of us don't know what we want. And, even if we do, there are often multiple layers to that answer. (5 why's exercise) A foundational practice Dr. Albert invites his clients to do, is self-reflection. it helps us crystallise our thoughts, needs and values. It turns on the lights on our landscape, so we can better see where we want to be. Dr. Albert also shares a few examples of how people tend to misunderstand what they want &amp; need. (A classic example is "I struggle with time management.") . Dr. Albert's website is: https://originalintent.co.uk
