Now that you know why you need self-care and why you should self-coach, you might wonder what are the best self-coaching resources to use. Or without actually working with a coach, how will you reap the benefits of life coaching? You’ll be happy to find many great self-coaching resources on this site. These “self-coaching tools,” as we’re calling them, can help you achieve similar results as if you were working one-on-one with a coach to achieve your unique objectives.
In fact, if the idea of enrolling in a self-coaching program appeals to you but you would like to stay away from actually working with a coach for any number of reasons, you do have this option. Set out on your personal development journey by signing up for any one of the many topic-specific online courses or other self-coaching resources that we offer.
Build Your Blueprint
Start with the Build Your Caregiver’s Blueprint. It has a plethora of useful self-coaching tools to get you going on the path to self-improvement. You’ll have the freedom to pick and choose what you would like to learn about and focus on.
As you try other self-coaching materials, you might enjoy:
Writing assignments
Written assignments will depend on the subject matter and course of study you have chosen in your self-coaching journey. If you opted to take a writing course, you will be given specific writing assignments like creating a short story or penning personal poems. Other types of writing assignments will ask you to do a report on a presentation you viewed, a book you read, or a podcast you listened to. Start with our Write your way to healing post. And follow us on Instagram @a_tailored_life4caregivers for free writing assignments.

Journaling courses
Journaling courses span the gamut of topics. Your journaling experience will entirely depend on the course you have elected to take. For example, there are journaling courses for personal development, relationships, and career. In a journaling course, you will write about things that bother you or thoughts you have. You analyze the challenges in your relationships and work through them. A writing practice like journaling gives you the space to define goals for yourself and lay out how to achieve them. Visit our patron’s page on buymeacoffee.com/atailoredlife/extras for free journaling assignments to get you started.
Planners
Planners are ideal to set a series of goals for your personal life, your individual development, or your career. One example of this is if you’re a business owner looking to increase a connection with your customers and build a following on the web. A planner can help you flesh out what you’d like to accomplish with your email marketing, social media, and newsletters.
Another idea for a planner could be if you need to tackle a pretty complicated, grand-scale personal goal. The goal might be something such as your wedding. A planner will help you nail down your stepping stone goals to help you check off various aspects of coordinating the wedding or other event.
personal assessments
Personal assessments work best for those times when you’re searching for activities that will help you develop skills and improve in any number of areas. You might be looking for a career change, for instance. Perhaps there is an area of interest that appeals to you, but you aren’t quite sure if this is the direction you should go in.
Taking a series of personal assessments from our self-coaching resources can help you get clear on your career path and decide what your next moves should be. Or, if you seek greater fulfillment in what to do with your free time, then you might take a personal assessment or two to learn more about yourself, your likes and dislikes, your personality, and your social preferences. For your first personal assessment, take the quiz, Are you coachable?
