Spring clean your lifeSpring cleaning has its origins in ancient history. Back then; with no labour saving devices and noelectricity, spring marked the start of the season when the weather allowed a complete cleaning of the cave or house. Since then, the tradition has been maintained but now there is a new angle. It is called life coaching and it is, in effect, spring cleaning for your life. According to Norman Hinks of Wellingborough, life coaching is one of the most effective ways of staying green and growing instead of becoming ripe and rotten. It is simply a way of looking at where you are now, where you want to be in the future and how you are going to get there. Hinks is a trained, professional life coach who helps his clients to do just that in a series of one-hour telephone conversations at weekly intervals. “A few people are able to do this for themselves but the vast majority find that having an outsider like me to keep them on course is a vital ingredient in their life spring cleaning.” Norman Hinks again. “Frankly, I am not interested in how they got to where they are now. The only place that they can start to change their life is here and now. So we focus totally on the future and the actions that will lead to the positive results that they desire”. He continues: “In the same way that our homes can become musty during the winter months and often look in need of a new lick of paint, so our lives can become a bit tattered and full of mental junk that no longer serves us well.” Hinks states that we all, without exception, carry a load of excess baggage in the form of worry, guilt, fears and false beliefs or expectations. He is a great believer in the power of a positive mental attitude and claims that very few of us ever achieve anything approaching our full potential. In life coaching, clients are shown how they can easily let go of all this baggage to create room in their lives for new and exciting challenges. He says: “Many clients are amazed at the positive impact that even a small change or shift in attitude can pro d u c e . ” This really is spring cleaning for the mind. In the same way that the onset of spring is often the catalyst that triggers a burst of domestic action, so a life coach can be the catalyst that allows amazing and positive changes to happen. Norman Hinks is always happy to discuss this or other aspects of his approach to life coaching, absolutely free of any cost or obligation.

He says, “I am still surprised at how often my clients tell me that their emotional and mental spring cleaning is like a weight being lifted from their shoulders. The joy is that they do it all themselves, I am just there to show them how.” ENDS 530WORDS Notes for editors: Norman Hinks is available for interview and photographs.
