I think self confidence (where I’m generally high) is extremely valuable. But going into my uncomfort zones, that’s where the value can come. I really do feel faster growth.

I’d love to have a coach focused on non-violence. For marriage, I think I’d find it very valuable—but also for greater self awareness.

I just spoke w a friend yesterday about the non-violence part and how it resonates a bit negatively.

But the gist of the practice is to expand awareness to feelings/emotions and the driving forces behind one’s actions, and bringing ownership to one’s talk and self-talk.

This in a way cleans up a lot of self-maintaining patterns that otherwise keep creating friction. It also makes possible deeper connection and intimacy + effortless compassion in all relationships.
