WORDS THAT INSPIRE

A monthly quick shot to motivate you, in less than 45 seconds, from Julie Cohen Coaching

How might your PEACE impact the world?

Dictionary*says:

State of tranquility or quiet, freedom from civil disturbance, a pact or agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war.

What it REALLY means:

The feeling of contentment with your life at present; your state of being when things feel comfortable, at ease, light; time in which you feel centered, calm and well.

Why it MATTERS?

Creating PEACE lessens worry, increases pleasure and enhances your 'here and now'. More PEACE in your life allows for more enjoyment and appreciation of your life.

Questions that INSPIRE:

? Describe your most recent experience of PEACE. How did it feel?

? What can you do, think or experience differently to bring more PEACE in to your life?

? How does greater PEACE impact you and your life?

? How might your PEACE impact the world?

? Does PEACE conflict with excitement and adventure?

? Can you have PEACE amongst chaos? How?
