5 Keys to Inner Peace NOW Hi! I’m Mary Allen, known to many as America’s Inner Peace Coach, author of The Power of Inner Choice and host of Conversations with the Masters. For 17 years now, I’ve had the distinct privilege of coaching high achieving clients including business owners, professionals, moms, and even a couple billionaires. I help people get out of their own way, and transform distracting stressors, achieve their goals and embody their highest selves — and I’m looking forward to supporting YOU through this ebook and audio, “5 Keys to Inner Peace NOW.” Thank you so much for taking the time to allow me to guide you on your path to exponentially more inner peace as you’re living into your highest potential and creating the best possible life for yourself! • Would like to feel connected and grounded to your best, most powerful self -- more of the time? • Do you get frustrated with yourself for feeling stressed, anxious, or reacting to everyday challenges? • Do you long for more inner peace in your life, but aren’t sure how to take it to a new level? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you’re in the right place. Maybe you’re an entrepreneur or business owner, busy mom or professional who is overwhelmed with stress and responsibility. Maybe you’re a life or business coach, transformational leader, teacher or parent who wants to help others enjoy greater inner calm.

When you embody that elusive balance between your “beingness” and “doingingness,” the balance between the Yin & the Yang, the balance between “Inner Peace” and “Success,” I call it “living in the sweet spot.” Maybe you’ve already felt what it’s like to live in the sweet spot -- doing something athletic or even watching someone else: • Skiing down a mogul run at the Olympics. • A surfer riding a wave. • Hitting a tennis or golf ball just the right way. What about watching someone share their gift, a professional singer like Celine Dion or Elton John, a speaker sharing an inspired message from the stage or watching a well- written movie or show. Or participating in your own creative flow - writing or journaling, doing something artistic like painting or photography. With each of these activities there is action AND there is a centered beingness or awareness that is also engaged. Embodying this elusive balance between inner peace and success is the sweet spot I’m talking about, and it’s a powerful combination for creating your best life! I’d love to support you in enjoying more of it. So, are you thinking, this is all too good to be true? Or are you hopeful that I’ve got all the answers for having easy access to inner peace while magically achieving your goals? Let me say this, I’m not promising you’ll have instant inner peace all the time after you’ve read this ebook or listened to the audio. The reality is finding, keeping and deepening inner peace as you’re living into your highest potential is a process – maybe even a lifelong one. But, here’s what I feel comfortable promising. If you take the ideas offered in this audio, and put them into practice consistently in your own life, you’ll begin to notice more inner peace is available to you, at will. And you’ll also recognize in the core of your being the symbiotic relationship between success and inner peace. There is a kind of softening that happens when one commits to expanding inner peace in their lives. But with it, there will be challenges and bumps, even travesties, along the way.

But those challenges can truly be tremendous gifts if we use them to transform our lives for the better. And, let’s face it, no matter who you are, we all get tested. Why not use them to propel yourself to another level of happiness and peace? Today I hope I can inspire you, and get you excited about what’s possible with more inner peace in your life. My mission in life is about helping people find, keep, and deepen inner peace in their lives as they are living more into their highest potential and creating their best life. I also want you to get to know me, and my work, especially if we haven’t met already, so you’ll know how I can potentially support you. And I want to give you some concrete actions you can take, starting today, to give you greater access to that powerful place inside of you, known as inner peace. We’re going to cover the "5 Keys to Inner Peace NOW” We’ll also talk about… • Why inner peace is something that deserves your attention. • Why most people don’t have inner peace. • We’ll also talk about easy and effective strategies for instantaneous inner peace (no matter what is interfering with it). I’m going to give you as much as humanly possible today and, I want to let you know, I lead a 5 day retreat on this material, and have an entire suite of audio programs. If you want more support from me, beyond what I’m sharing here, I’ll be pointing to additional resources along the way. There are a couple additional things I want to share about myself that goes beyond the introduction you heard at the beginning of this audio. 1. I wasn’t always drawn to inner peace. About 14 years ago, one of my girlfriends was on a kick about “making inner peace her #1 goal” and at the time I thought to myself, “inner peace – inner schmese.” • I didn’t seem to have the time, energy or interest in inner peace. • It seemed boring and it wasn’t a priority, even though I was committed to my personal and spiritual growth. • Then I hit a wall and became incredibly frustrated with my life circumstances. • Had back-to-back relationship break ups. • Was struggling in my business and got present to the $65K of debt I’d accumulated (something I’m not proud of). Copyright © 2015 Mary Allen. 3 All rights reserved. www.lifecoachmary.com 5 Keys to Inner Peace NOW • I moved three times in one year. • My self-esteem was at all time low. All of a sudden inner peace sounded really good. This moment of consciously deciding to make inner peace a focus was a defining moment in my life that I’ll never forget. Ironically, I spent 3 years really struggling, and doing lots and lots of personal growth work. I found myself in a difficult relationship where I was constantly pushing his buttons, and he was pushing mine. I thought embracing inner peace would be easier than this. Then, in the middle of an argument, something finally clicked into place, and I found myself in the sweet spot of inner peace. My boyfriend at the time was so angry and upset, and I was genuinely serene and calm inside – simply observing the dynamics of the conversation and connecting so profoundly to the inner peace within myself. This was another significant moment for me, and a major turning point in my life. After this, I noticed everything in my life got EASIER. Out of that inner peace… • I wrote my first book “The Power of Inner Choice.” • Within 18 months I met my now husband, and we’ve been married almost a decade now and have 2 beautiful children. • Health became the best ever without the struggle it had been previously. • My business took off and I started earning six figures consistently and was able to eliminate $65K of debt within an 8 month period and started rebuilding my savings. • Started leading group coaching programs, Inner Peace Retreats and helping more people. • Life became more enjoyable and fulfilling and it was EASIER to live in the present moment. And while I was clearly taking inspired action, I really give this newfound sense of inner peace the credit. It provided a strength and the backdrop that allowed everything to flow easier. Even the challenges and bumps now are easier to manage. I’ve spent the last 10+ years fine-tuning the distinctions to make inner peace possible. There are many paths to inner peace, and we’ll explore several of these in this audio. -- How to find it? -- How to return to it in moments of challenge? -- How to deepen it?
