A respected life coach, Peter Winslow assists clients in Arizona and beyond in improving health, transforming their lives through accessing inner resources. In a recent blog post, Peter Winslow took a close look at the well-worn proposition that “enlistment” is required to manifest a goal.

Enlistment involves establishing a plan or an intention in writing and articulating the means of moving from A to B. The blueprint provides the rudder in efforts toward achieving objectives and, ultimately, self-actualization.

Mr. Winslow suggests that a more “effortless” approach may be appropriate in many situations, with a core insight that we often do not realize what we already know and what we don’t know. Similarly, we tend not to assess or measure true value in life accurately.

Value in life is best envisioned not in terms of those monuments we erect to ourselves, but in the lives we touch in a meaningful way. The value of action is not in being recognized for work and remunerated, but in sharing efforts with others and making a difference in the world.

The remarkable thing is that once these questions begin to be asked, people often move forward on the path toward fulfilling personal goals and aspirations.

Peter Winslow became a life coach after his recovery from a severe accident and diagnosis of a form of spinal arthritis. Today, Peter Winslow is an author, motivational speaker, and pain management coach who helps people overcome the daily challenges of living with chronic pain.

Chronic pain stemming from an accident, autoimmune disorder, or other illness can significantly impact a person’s life. Managing chronic pain often includes major lifestyle changes and treatment plans which can initially be overwhelming. In many circumstances, people may also experience shifts in their personal and professional lives due to chronic pain. Many turn to coaches for pain management resources and emotional support.

Pain management coaches are experts who help individuals dealing with long-term pain navigate the changes in their lives. Coaches employ a wide range of therapeutic strategies to help their clients cope with the emotional aspects of chronic pain and the recovery process. Coaches may assist their clients by sharing stress-reduction exercises and cognitive behavioral therapies to manage anxiety and other negative emotions that often accompany chronic illnesses.

A respected Arizona life coach, Peter Winslow enables clients to transform their lives, achieve goals, and face the world with renewed purpose and intention. One core facet of Peter Winslow’s practice as a life coach is the mind-body connection, whose underlying scientific research he explored in a recent blog post at PeterWinslow.com.

One study conducted by the Center for Mind-Body Medicine involved more than 80 Kosovo high school students who grew up in a war-torn region where virtually all residences were bombed and burned and one-fifth of the children lost at least one parent.

With all participating students experiencing symptoms such as nightmares, flashbacks, PTSD, and withdrawal and numbing, a number of techniques emphasizing the mind-body connection were introduced in small-group settings. These included biofeedback, breathing techniques, meditation, and guided imagery. In addition, activities encompassed movement, creative writing, and art. The result of this program was that students exhibiting PTSD symptoms decreased from 100 percent to less than 20 percent.

Another study by a Harvard psychologist determined that thinking about how old one is impacts feelings of being old or young and the way the body responds. Subjects placed in an environment from two decades earlier in their lives had a greater observed prevalence of appearing healthier and younger than before the placement. These disparate studies uphold the concept of the mind having an outsized impact on physical and mental wellness.
