MY ARGENTINE TANGO! BUCKET LIST…CHECK!

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 here as 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.

In this video you will learn:

  • The life lessons I learned while learning the Argentine Tango
  • What I still (apparently) have to work on! LOL!

AN AMAZING STRATEGY FOR GETTING UNSTUCK & MOVING FORWARD!

Getting Unstuck…if I pressed a rewind button on my life I would see so many snippets of me having a battle with my mind, the Universe & my husband! I felt stuck at so many points in my life.

Example: Because I had a strong belief that I needed to aggressively protect myself I used to lash out at my husband when he did or didn’t do something.

Now, he being the Mediterranean, would blow up just as fast and voila! We had a full out argument on our hands. I have to give him credit though, he was usually the one who calmed down quickly and wanted to talk about things.

Me? I needed time to cool down. I had to FEEL the injustice for a while. And then, after he pestered me to talk, I would open up and we would fully reveal our feelings.

The understandings (and misunderstandings) would become apparent and…ahhhhh…peace was restored once again.

Then there were the times I was arguing with myself! I used to desire something but that dang inner voice was constantly giving me all the reasons I shouldn’t or couldn’t do something. Worthiness issues, anyone?

The strategy I share with you in this week’s video is one I began using on myself many years ago, and then just recently with my husband. When I taught it to him, he was silent and then said: “That’s goooooood!”

So, get ready! As you’ll see in the video, you can use this amazing strategy in your relationships, with your own issues…any time you need some help getting unstuck.

ENJOY! And let me know if you’ve ever used this strategy or in which situation you’re excited to try it!

 

 

In this video, you will learn:

  • Five words to speak when you are “stuck”
  • How to use this in your relationships
  • How to use it with yourself & your subconscious mind

Q&A: HOW TO SURRENDER & LET GO, OVERCOMING OBSTACLES TO SUCCESS & MORE!

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!

I sincerely know and understand how overwhelming life’s responsibilities can be so that is why I have created a daily routine for myself that incorporates moments of true peace throughout.

How to Elegantly Handle *Inner Conflict*, *Difficult Decisions* & *Anxiety*

“Wowza” is all I can say.

Have the last couple of months been especially difficult for you? Have you experienced tremendous inner conflict, anxiety, technical/computer issues or financial strife?

Or, has an issue arisen from out of nowhere that has totally disrupted your peaceful equilibrium?

There hasn’t been a day that has passed in these last couple of months that I haven’t heard from or of someone dealing with pain, grief, great difficulties or incredible stress right now.

My heart aches for them… and yet, I KNOW the cycle of growth, expansion, and elevation. I’ve been there many times myself… and am actually experiencing it now too, as I expand.

Every time an expansion is on the horizon life feels disrupted, heavy, stressful, overwhelming, or out of the flow.

***IMPORTANT!*** It is this time period that decides our future.

You see, having been here multiple times myself, I recognized a pattern. What people are experiencing now is the storm before the beautiful new dawn. It’s never easy or comfortable – but it’s always necessary.

To help you move through this time period with more elegance and ease I filmed a video sharing with you a few questions you can ask yourself that will gift you exactly what you need to hear in order to expand and BECOME the woman who is a match to her next evolution.

Consistently asking yourself these questions will shorten the storm and provide you with inner peace, Divine learnings and ultimately, the NEW evolved you.

In this video, you will learn:

  • Why specifically the world is experiencing such upheaval right now
  • 3+ questions to ask yourself when you experience inner conflict or distress
  • What to do AFTER you’ve asked the question(s).
