With the advent of social media and its visibility, it has become easier for myths to spread and build a home in the minds of many people.<\/p>\n<p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\" style=\"\">As life coaches, we need to be able to be aware of the myths surrounding us and effectively dispel them. You might have heard of many people also giving into hearsay, like this life coaching myth: life coaches are experts in life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\" style=\"\">This assumes that life coaches do not have to face issues in their life. With social media fueling toxic positivity, i.e., focusing only on the positive side of other people\u2019s lives, it is important for people to see life coaches as people too.<\/p>\n<p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\" style=\"\">As a life coach, you are a professional who is familiar with fears, challenges and changes and can guide your clients along through experiences and application. It does not mean that your life, just because you are a life coach, is picture perfect and devoid of any challenges.<\/p>\n<p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\" style=\"\">And this is just one such life coaching myth.<\/p>\n<p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\" style=\"\">The above section has covered many such myths, and now, it is time to jump into the Take Action Section.<\/p>\n<p><span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"take action section\" data-id=\"7308\" width=\"876\" data-init-width=\"876\" height=\"70\" data-init-height=\"70\" title=\"chap2-take-min-min\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mindvalley.com\/coach\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/chap2-take-min-min.png\" data-width=\"876\" data-height=\"70\" role=\"presentation\" style=\"\" data-uw-rm-ima-original=\"take action section\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"\" data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Other than the myths listed in this chapter, what are the myths in your mind that need to be debunked? What are some of the negative beliefs or ideas you have about life coaching?<\/p>\n<p style=\"\" data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Here\u2019s the thing\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"\" data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">You cannot fully step into your role as phenomenal life coach if you have negative beliefs about what you do.<\/p>\n<p style=\"\" data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">So, take 10 minutes to list out any misconceptions about life coaching that come up for you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"\" data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">When you\u2019re done, read through each belief on your list and ask yourself:<\/p>\n<p style=\"\" data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Can I find facts or evidence to support this?<\/p>\n<p style=\"\" data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Myths, misconceptions, and false beliefs are fueled by hearsay, groupthink, and emotions such as fear and doubt.<\/p>\n<p style=\"\" data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">They disappear in the light of logic and rational thinking.<\/p>\n<p style=\"\" data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Looking at each of your negative beliefs through a logical lens will help you see that they\u2019re untrue so you can start to release
