Creating Inner Peace - Russell is truly a wonderful coach and I thank him for helping me. You can reach Russell at www.RusselHeath.net

Thoughts

Structures that encourage peace

External structures (elections, courts, etc)

Cultural (tolerance and diversity as values)

Personal (self acceptance, love, taming the voice in your head)

Life coach

Privileged to be let into the inner lives of many people

I notice lots of suffering; suffering that almost always translatesinto outer strife

Many ways to bring inner peace--

Story

Master Refrigerator Manager

Being right about how a refrigerator should be managed—fights withmy girlfriend

Hijacked by

Righteousness

Dominance

Arrogance (better than)

Cost

Connection

Intimacy

Love

Lessons

Two centers within us that motivate or drive our behaviors

Survival mechanism:

Winning (Righteousness, dominance)

Status (being liked, arrogance)

Material possessions

Provide protection



Essence

Love, acceptance, taking risks

Survival mechanism v. essence

Protect ourselves from being hurt or opening ourselves to love

If you put your fists down and come from essence—you will get hurt

But the hurt is worth the prize

In coaching, assumption that people want to love and be loved; justaren’t necessarily skillful at it



Every decision you make is made from fear or from love

You get to choose
