How are you feeling about the Coronavirus? Scared? Anxious? Don’t care? Nervous? Worried? Overwhelmed?
This week I had a loyal follower of The Elegant
ask me to share The Elegant Life perspective on the whole Coronavirus pandemic,
and I’m SO glad she did!
I am sitting back watching what feels like a Mini-Series on TV! And the underlying current that is being perpetuated is FEAR.
At the start of 2020, I filmed a video on the NEW powerful energy that is at work now. The momentum for change and elevation in consciousness is almost palpable!
This is the energy at play right now and if we use it wisely, via The Elegant Life Principles, we can floooow through this time period with ease & elegance and at the same time reach new levels of consciousness.
So, ready to hear my take on the whole Coronavirus Saga?
How can I count the number of gifts it bestowed upon me? One of the grandest being self-love.
When you do a google search on self-love you will find videos, blogs, quotes, and podcasts speaking about WHY we need self-love, but what I have always found missing was the HOW.
HOW do we love ourselves?
I’ll never forget a memory: me in my early twenties, refusing to spontaneously go dancing with my group of friends.
Now, I LOVE dancing! It wasn’t that I didn’t want to dance, I DID! What stopped me in my tracks was that I didn’t feel confident enough in myself, have enough self-love & self-acceptance, to walk in there and just dance my heart out…while wearing jeans and a T-Shirt.
Instead, I got very upset with my friends who were “pressuring” me to go. I turned it on THEM and was so hurt that they were not being understanding.
(See how we spin things to suit our
ego/limiting beliefs?)
The next day I went over to my much older
friend’s house and shared my woes, hoping she would agree with my allegations.
She didn’t.
We got into a very looooooong discussion and then I asked her, “How do you know what your style is? You always seem so self-confident.”
Her answer? “I don’t know. I just do.”
Not very helpful, right?
This really sent me on a self-love pilgrimage. In 1997-1998 I found myself in France; a country where self-love comes easier. Not for everyone, but there is something ingrained in the women that served me SO well…and I want to share it with you in today’s video.
It’s Tea Time with Erin again!
A SUPER question came through so I dedicated a whole video to it!
Due to the NEW profound energy in town, I want
to show you how to master setting
intentions so that you can most effectively
allow this powerful energy to support you rather than hinder you.
Are you up for learning the way I manifest
everything in my life?
From moving to the countries I desire to live in, to finding the perfect home, to attracting the perfect friends into my life, to receiving the most ideal number of clients, etc, etc?
Okay then! Make yourself a lovely cup of tea
and let’s get started!
“Well, SHE thinks highly of herself, now doesn’t she?”
“I don’t like her. She’s SO ______.”
I could probably write a 10,000-word post just listing the countless ways we’ve judged others.
But here’s the real question: what about the judgement we place on ourselves?
Self-Judgement Is the Harshest Kind
Do any of these sound familiar?
“How could I be so stupid?”
“She’s 55 and not overweight—what’s wrong with me?”
“What I have to say doesn’t matter. Others say it better than I ever could.”
At first, judging others and judging ourselves may seem like two separate things. But in truth, they’re deeply connected. When you judge another woman, it often mirrors a hidden judgement you already carry about yourself.
And this cycle of comparison and criticism erodes our self-worth, feminine confidence, and joy.
The good news? You don’t have to stay stuck there.
The Elegant 3-Step Judgement Detox
I’ve created a simple, feminine, and very elegant 3-step practice to release judgement—whether it’s about yourself or someone else—and turn it into self-love in just seconds.
Step 1: Pause & Notice
The moment you catch yourself judging, pause. Take a breath and simply notice the thought without shaming yourself for it.
✨ Ask: “What is this really about?”
Step 2: Reflect & Redirect
Behind every judgement lies a wound, insecurity, or unmet need. Instead of letting the judgement spiral, gently redirect it with compassion.
✨ Ask: “What do I truly need right now—acceptance, love, or reassurance?”
Step 3: Replace With Self-Love
Choose a higher perspective. Speak to yourself the way you would to a dear friend. Replace the judgement with a loving truth.
Examples:
Instead of “She thinks she’s so special,” try: “I admire her confidence. I can cultivate that too.”
Instead of “I’m not good enough,” try: “My voice matters. What I offer is uniquely mine.”
Over time, this practice rewires your thoughts and strengthens your self-love, confidence, and feminine grace.
Your Invitation
Next time you catch yourself in judgement, try this Judgement Detox and see how quickly the energy shifts.
✨ Let me know in the comments what judgement you’ve struggled with—and how this practice helped you turn it into self-love.
Did you know that the frequency of JOY is even higher than LOVE?
Being in the state of JOY gives you the energy, motivation & clarity to BE, DO & ENJOY everything your Soul desires!
Think about it…
When you are in complete JOY
you:
Have more energy
Easily do movement activities
More quickly/efficiently perform tasks
Feel fulfillment
Are more care-free about things (flexible mindset)
Are more open to trying new things
Are inspired to love yourself & others – it feels natural to you
I could go on and on, but can
you see the difference in what JOY gifts you (and others)?
So, the BIG question then is HOW to ascend into this state, right?
Well, I share the Elegant HOW in this week’s video!
