I cannot count the number of times I have been chatting with a friend or client and they have asked, “But Erin, how do you consistently surrender and let go? It’s so hard!”
This used to be me – big time!
I would know I was supposed to let go, I would declare that I am surrendering in my journal, and then after a moment or few days I would get so down and frustrated that my reality was still not what I wanted it to be that I would give up surrendering and start to push, plan and work harder again.
And just so you know… Visualizing 50 times a day, journalling 3 times, meditating and writing out 50 affirmations every day also falls into the pushing, working harder category…it’s just disguised;)
The fact that I am now teaching women all over the world how to manifest elegantly gives me chills because there were SO many times I said to myself:
“Oh, SHE” S successful because her husband helps her.”
“She’s successful because her niche is about ________”
“She must just be more blessed than I am. It’s never going to happen for me as it did for her.”
I would LOVE to show you inside my journal – it’s not a pretty sight!
So, when I say I have cracked the code on how to literally manifest anything (and elegantly) I have. I do it over and over and over again. I manifest for myself, for my kids, for my husband and even family members – and yes, surrendering & letting go is one key element.
In this week’s video, I answer questions sent to me regarding surrendering, letting go, overcoming success obstacles and even something about my mother-in-law!

On Sunday I celebrated my 47th birthday! While doing my morning ritual & writing down 5 things I’m grateful for I realized that I have the EXACT life I dreamed about 18 years ago. Literally, every – single – area – of – my – life is the way I envisioned it to be.
After this realization, my heart swelled with gratitude and awe, and I KNEW I had to share What I Know For Sure after learning some very important lessons over my 47 years.
My intention is that by watching and hearing all of my learnings, YOU experience an internal, energetic shift so that you are easily able to integrate these lessons into your energy too and thus receive YOUR desires with more ease and elegance.
Ready? This video is about 21 minutes, so I advise you to watch it when you have time to really enjoy it and take it in.
Have a paper and pen or even your personal Journal in hand, a lovely cup of tea (or whatever beverage your Soul desires) and then get into a receiving mode.
If you consciously make the intention to receive & integrate these learnings into your energetic system and & unconscious mind… they WILL.
In this video, you will learn:
5 truths & perspectives that completely & utterly changed my reality.
the #1 reason your desires are NOT manifesting…and what to do to change this.
why getting really specific about your desire can sometimes actually slow DOWN the manifestation of it!
What you need to be doing while you WAIT for your desire to manifest.
Why we were REALLY created…this one will make you sit for a moment and think.
Have you every desired something SO much but found it almost impossible to “let go and let God” as everyone suggests?
Then this post is for you!
I am going to share 2 ways to practise the art of letting go and letting God. One is a mindset shift and the other is advice that I bet you’ve not heard before. (Psst…it a theme here on The Elegant Life:)
January is a month where everyone is focused on goals, dreams and DOING.
Plans are made, goal are being set, memberships to gyms are being bought, and the focus is on pursuing, trying and desperately wanting their desire to manifest.
I know this pattern well as it was my “go-to” strategy my whole life! Set a goal, make a plan, push, pursue, obsess…you get the picture! The energy I was giving off was one of desperation and lack – not very elegant and definitely not a high frequency for manifesting!
This is completely opposite from what I do now and teach my clients to do.
And…this is exactly what Buddha did before he experienced enlightenment and true happiness.
Many people know the story of how Buddha sat under the Bodhi tree and awakened, however not many people know WHY he ended up sitting under that tree. He was in the same trap I was in and perhaps you find yourself too?
Watch the video above, at minute 2:54, to hear the real reason Buddha sat under the bodhi tree.
2 Steps to “Let Go and Let God”
Step 1: Surrender.
As you can see from Buddha’s story, pushing, trying and pursuing does not serve us. We must understand the Elegant Principle of the Universe:
As soon as you state your intention, Divine Consciousness sets to work to orchestrate everything needed to bring you your desire.”
The problem arises, for most women, when they don’t see any change in their reality and thus start doubting, feeling down, and obsessing even more on trying to figure out “the HOW”.
Spiritual Women who live elegantly, instead, focus on just BEING & await Divine Inspiration.
Do not attach. I’ll repeat that, “Do not attach to the outcome”.
Should we even have desires? Yes! Desires are feelings and feelings come directly from your Soul, which is your connection to the Divine. So yes! You wouldn’t have those desires if you weren’t intended to experience them!
However, instead of obsessing, spend your time & energy visualising your dream. See it vividly, in the greatest detail. FEEL it. Then…
Step 2: Get on With Living Your Life (filling it with JOY & PLEASURE)
I know I know, I harp on this regularly, but trust me, it’s the secret of experiencing The Elegant Life!
If someone would have told me this years ago, when I was in the obsessing mode, I would have thought, “Yeah, easy for you to say!” It was only when I reached mental and physical exhaustion that I finally said,
Screw this! If success means I have to work this hard and be disappointed countless times then I don’t want it. I’m done. I’ll just do this as a hobby out of enjoyment instead of trying to make it a business.”
After I made that conscious decision I felt the weight of the world drop off me.
I began feeling my creativity come out more. I did things I was too scared to do before, out of fear it would “upset” my followers.
I felt the pleasure in what I was doing again- the same pleasure I felt when I first started that business!
And what began happening? Opportunities just flowed into my life like magic. Calls for interviews in top national and international magazines and newspapers, ideal clients coming to me from referrals...the list went on and on. I learned what Buddha did and I invite you to learn it too…
The more you let go and let god (aka surrender) the more you allow Divine energy to do it’s work and flow through you and your life.
All that obsessive energy will be gone as will the manifestation of things and experiences on that same frequency.
Instead, you’ll be resonating at the levels of PEACE & JOY which are just under that of enlightenment – levels that bring in high vibration, exquisite miracles.
Please share your stories of when and how YOU have “let go and let God” – I know it will help so many women.
Do you know there are certain areas of your life where you need to Surrender? Share those too.
