It’s Q & A Time Again! And
this time we’re talking about whether or not manifesting rituals are necessary
and how to clear clutter when you find it really hard to start (or finish!).
I was also asked a question
regarding my personal curated life. Curious what she asked?
You all know that I am BIG on
making conscious choices, right?
The biggest and most important choices we make are how we curate our life. What is going to be IN our lives and what is just NOT ALLOWED! (or needs to get politely but firmly removed;)
As for manifesting
rituals…have you tried any?
The dictionary definition
of RITUAL is this: a
religious ceremony consisting of a series of actions performed according to a
prescribed order.
Let me be VERY clear here: you do not have to do a series of actions to be able to
manifest. This is a
superstitious, fear-based way of trying to manifest.
Notice I say “trying”. The
energy behind many of the popular manifesting rituals taught by “manifesting
experts” are very low on the vibrational scale.
However…there are some actions that I do every day, such as meditating and then setting my timer for 5 minutes for “Pleasure Time” (Elegant Society Members know what I’m talking about here;)
I guess you could call this an Elegant Manifesting Ritual, but there is no prescribed way of doing it – it’s free flow. The only ritual thing about it is that I do it every day.
Watch me speak more about this as well as some other unique topics on this week’s video.
And remember, if YOU have a question you’d like me to answer on a future Tea Time with Erin please put it in the comments or write to me at Erin@TheElegantLife.com
Let’s be honest… we’d all like
to make life easier in some aspect of our lives, right?
Whether it be earning money, losing weight, having more inner peace or having more fulfilment in our life – we’d LOVE it if it all came a lot easier to us, wouldn’t we?
Ever looked at someone’s life and thought,
“It’s just so EASY for her!”
I used to look at Oprah’s life (when she lost a lot of weight the first time) and think , “Well, of course she lost weight! She has a personal chef and a personal trainer! Who WOULDN’T lose weight?
Then I watched as she gained and lost weight for over 15 years! She had some more personal work to do.
I also looked at some women
whose husbands worked with them and thought, “Ha! I would be successful too if
I could just do what I loved and my husband took care of all the techie stuff!”
Then I learned that these couples didn’t have the ease & fun in their relationship that I had with my husband. They ended up having to go to counselling.
We often tend to think that something outside of us will solve all our problems and in reality…nothing or no one will ever solve your problems for you, except you.
Now, you can have support WHILE you do the personal work. Support definitely helps make life easier… more quickly. That I know for sure!
Yet, a personal trainer can tell you what to do, but YOU still have to do it!
A husband can support you in
your business but YOU still have to be the brand, get out there, connect with
people, etc.
You can even hire a life coach
but unless you actually DO what you agree on, your life is not going to change.
See a pattern?
The good news is that even though you have some personal work to do, your brain can help support you!
This week I’ve filmed a video teaching you how your brain, if given the right things from YOU, will be your BIGGEST support.
The Divine created the brain in such a beautiful way! Your life can be easier, in a shorter amount of time, if you simply focus on these things.
Watch and please leave a comment on the blog with your answer to my question at the end of the video, okay?
Hello! I’m back from an incredible summer holiday and am absolutely energized to be back here on the blog talking about manifesting!
Why am I so passionate when I speak about
manifesting? Because for SO LONG I didn’t get it.
I felt like so many women who write to me or come to me as a client who feel like they are truly doing everything they can to manifest and nothing is working.
They have read The Secret (as I had).
They have read all about the Law of Attraction
and Visualising (as I had).
They have even meticulously done every step
found in those books and movies and still…nothing. No extra money. Health is
unchanged. No soulmate walking through that door…resonating a bit with all
this?
I truly wish I could sit down with you and read
you my past diary entries just to show how desperate and hopeless I once felt.
Being a former Type A perfectionist, it was really tough to feel like I was doing EVERYTHING and still my everything was not enough.
Today I want to share with you one of the most important things I can teach you when it comes to manifesting. This is a game-changer.
Really take it in. Really HEAR me, okay?
Don’t just listen and say, “Okay, got it.” then
move on to another video about how to manifest. Let this deeply sink in. Journal
with your subconscious & soul.
Because whatever you desire is just on the
other side of you really “getting” this.
Enjoy! And please share with your mother,
sister, friend or client!
It’s time women move past the “struggle
reality” and step into their full power so they can begin living an abundant
life – on every level.
Wanting to make money, other than working at a 9-5 job, was at the forefront of my mind in 2007. I was a new mom (mum) and didn’t want to go back to work as a school teacher.
I wanted the freedom to be
with my son, to be the kind of mother I had always dreamed of being and yet…I am the type of person who desperately needs my
own “thing” outside of being a mother.
Can you relate?
Through chance, luck and a lot
of reading and studying on the internet I managed to create a hobby for myself. I say “hobby” because a business makes money, a
hobby is something that you do for enjoyment, but you don’t make sustainable
money from it.
After becoming frustrated that my hobby was draining our family finances I began educating myself via coaches, group programs and self-study courses… $80,000 later I had myself a business!
I finally got to use my
talents, natural abilities and interests to serve women worldwide and earn a
very liberating income – one where I could send money to family members, pay for underprivileged girls
to attend University, and feel the financial freedom I had yearned for for
YEARS!
How about you? Has the thought ever crossed your mind:
“If I could just earn an extra $2,000/month I could…..
Example: Have enough money to take a yearly vacation to some exquisite location!
Well, in this week’s video I give you specific examples and websites that will help you make money using your hobbies, talents & interests.
After watching I just KNOW the wheels in your head will be turning:) (Be sure to write all of your ideas in the comment section, okay? I will be checking in to guide you and make further suggestions and recommendations specifically for YOUR situation!)
In this video you will learn:
10 + ways you can earn more
money by doing something you enjoy!
Specific websites that make
earning more money simple.
Where to spend your money to
help you be successful a whole lot sooner than I was.
Well, I did it! I actually
learned the Argentine Tango and filmed it so I could live out my dream of
having my own “Strictly Come Dancing” or Dancing With the Stars” experience!
I have SO much to share about
this experience; many lessons were learned.
My Story
I have been sharing my experience from Day 1 over on my Instagram account. (If you don’t follow me on Instagram click hereas I am on there almost daily sharing different parts of my life & teachings).
The first day was just
thrilling. I was SO excited and couldn’t stop smiling, squealing and jumping
around. My husband said he hadn’t seen me this happy…ever!
Around the 3rd week, I arrived
at the studio, excited to take the routine further, when I was told that my
teacher had left the studio. The instructor replacing him was almost double my
height.
“Is this even going to work?” I asked him.
Secretly, I was upset as I
really liked my former instructor and couldn’t see HOW in the world I was going
to be able to dance the Tango with this tall guy!
I made the choice to flow with
the lesson and actually, in the end, I quite liked him. I didn’t feel as
intimidated as I had with the previous teacher and we laughed a lot so…all was
well in my world.
Especially when I found out
that he was from Serbia and had
actually been on the Serbian Dancing With the Stars as a professional dancer!
We had to create a totally new
routine since no notes were left from my previous instructor, but it didn’t
bother me much…this time. (hint… hint)
As each week progressed my new
instructor began teaching me the intricate details of each move. Posture of the
back, neck, arm, finger, foot…oh my goodness, who knew dancing was this complicated?
I began leaving my lessons
feeling down, sometimes very down.
Down on myself as I wasn’t
able to hold my neck and back the way he was expecting me to and down on the
experience, as it wasn’t fun
anymore.
One day he literally shifted
my back and neck 20 times trying to teach me how to get it right. All I wanted
to do was cry and run out of there.
When I returned home I talked to myself and said,
“Why are you letting HIM create this experience for you? YOU get to have the experience you desire. If you don’t care if your back and neck are 100% correct then you tell him to relax and just allow you to dance for JOY.”
I made up my mind to speak to
him at the beginning of next class.
My speech was planned, I
entered the studio and…my instructor wasn’t there. Instead a NEW instructor was
waiting for me!
4th Time’s a Charm
Whaaaaat? This isn’t how
things were supposed to go! I don’t WANT another teacher I was thinking!
I was told that my
instructor had left to pursue other career opportunities. Well, I couldn’t blame him for moving forward in
his life, but…
I COULD be angry with him
because he didn’t leave any notes about our routine, which was 3/4
choreographed! I would have
to start all over again.
Maxim, my 3rd instructor was
very sweet, kind and close to my height, which I really, really appreciated. When I danced with him I didn’t feel like a
little girl, I felt like Erin, the woman again. “Thank you for this gift, Universe.”
Throughout the whole lesson I
was thanking the Universe because I felt the JOY of dancing again.
Maxim was patient and an
excellent teacher. He was able to give me little tips that made me go,
“Ooooooooh,
THAT’S how you do it! Thank you!”
Three weeks passed and Maxim had choreographed an Argentine Tango routine that I absolutely loved, yes, even better than my former instructor’s routine.
The Lessons I Learned
1)When you flow with the way things are you receive unexpected gifts.
2) YOU create your reality. Never let anyone write your story. Know what you desire to do & feel and speak up.
3) Continue to check things
off your bucket list because the joy you receive from doing so is pure BLISS.
So, without further ado,
here it is!
Side note: the skirt I’m wearing is not very flattering. I had
bought such a nice slim skirt which showed off my figure beautifully, but due
to the new routine Maxim created the leg lift and dip at the end would have put my skirt up & under my
armpits! LOL! So I had to
borrow this one. When I watched the video I caught myself thinking, “That is SO
not flattering! It’s true the camera adds 10 pounds! I don’t look like that!”
I wasn’t even going to mention
this but…I guess I still have a bit of ego in me- LOL!)
Enjoy! And thank you for being
a part of my journey.
