HOW TO FINALLY LOVE YOURSELF – The Elegant Solution to Self Love

Ah, self love. I had it when I was a child and then lost it along the way. The first memory I have of becoming self-conscious about  a physical attribute came in junior high.

I can remember the moment vividly. I was 14 years old, walking down the corridor of my school, laughing with some friends when out of no where an ex-boyfriend of mine ran up in front of me and said,

Hey Erin, this is you!”

while walking like a bow-legged cowboy. THAT was the moment I discovered that the shape of my calves were not okay. I even went to a doctor to ask for legs braces I could wear at night to straighten them. (Continued below the video)

There are multiple memories that affected my self love but the moment everything profoundly changed for me was

the year I moved to France .

I witnessed how French Women actually took unique characteristics of themselves and made it into the one thing that made them “unique”.

Gaps in the teeth, small breasts, curly hair…you name it they adored it. And consequently…so did everyone else.

My experience in France started my Pilgrimage inward – not to find out all the things I needed to “fix” about myself…to discover everything I LOVED about myself. And from that place, my self love and self confidence rose steadily.

I began only accepting certain types of friends and partners in my life and I asked for things that I wanted because I knew I deserved them!

The ripple effect of self love is tremendous and that is why I have dedicated the month of May to Self Love and Self Confidence.

I explain the Elegant Solution to Falling in Love with yourself in the video above. Have a watch!

How to Connect With the Divine Through: BEAUTY | Spiritual Growth

Ever felt like Spiritual Growth & Personal Growth was really hard sometimes?

Women all around the world are feeling overwhelmed by life right now and to top it all off they are women who strongly desire inner peace! Argh! What to do?

That’s what this Series is all about and that is most definitely what this week’s post is about.

I want to show you how BEAUTY can be used to help you connect with The Divine so that life begins feeling…well… BEAUTIFUL!

And also that life begins to flow more elegantly. Ready?

In last week’s post I spoke about Creativity and how the Divine is constantly intending for something to be created. YOU were intended and created too – isn’t that so special?

Everything the Divine creates is beautiful – yes, even the sometimes challenging experiences that we are gifted in order to help us grow and evolve.

You see the Divine always desires the best outcome, the most expansive outcome for it’s creations, and therefore you wouldn’t be given an opportunity for spiritual growth in your life if it were not beautifully intended to serve you in some way; to help you become more full of beauty and expansiveness.

So, the next time you are feeling like,

Why me, God???”

Remember that the experience was purposefully created for you in order to gift you the opportunity to grow into who you truly desire to be. (aka the most beautiful version of yourself)

If you are currently experiencing something difficult ask yourself these questions:

  1. What is it from this experience that I can learn?
  2. What woman can I become by experiencing this?

The second way you can experience Spiritual Growth and Connection with the Divine is through focusing on YOUR beauty.

I want you to begin having reverence for yourself. Why? Because it is imperative that you tune in to the fact that you wouldn’t be here if you were not intended by God to be here.

You were created exactly the way the Divine desired and intended you to be so please be grateful for who you are and have deep reverence for it.

You can begin a pilgrimage of getting to know, love and accept yourself by:

  1. Remembering who you were as a child. Think back to how you were as a child in terms of your talents, personality, natural abilities, joys, likes etc.
  2. Give yourself permission to BE that person again, albeit, in a potentially more refined way now that you are a woman.
  3. Start dressing in the style that you love. (Watch the video above at minute 12:34 to hear me share a recent story of mine where a Parisian woman solidified this point for me)

So, when we start viewing beauty in ALL things; opportunities, challenges, people, places, and US (both inside and out) we live in resonance with Divine energy, because the Divine IS beauty.

I’ll be spending a full day on the topic of getting to know ourselves intimately, loving ourselves deeply and expressing our inner and outer beauty during a retreat that I’ll be speaking to you about in a few weeks, but for now, focus on the things I’ve mentioned here for a whole week. I guarantee you’ll feel like a brand new woman in just 7 days.

If you can think of any woman who you love and would benefit from hearing about this or any other topic on The Elegant Life, please use the SHARE buttons at the top of this post.  We need more women living from a Divine space of Beauty in this world.

With all my love,
