Every year, I pick a word. The word serves as my due north. When I get lost in the throws of busyness and hustle, this word brings me back to what I want, who I am, and most importantly how I want to feel.

This year my word is MAGIC.

From pulling rabbits out of hats to a sunset with colors beyond what any painting could reproduce, Magic comes in a variety of ways.

While these examples are wildly different, they both make you say, “How they hell did that happen? How is that even POSSIBLE? Amazing.”

When something like this occurs, you are moved to a state awe and wonder, curiosity and  interest.

In that brief moment of,  “holy cow”, you unconsciously take your hand off the wheel of life and allow what is happening to happen.

This state of allowing, my friend, is the moment that LIFE  hands you EXACTLY what you have been asking for; a new client, help with your website, or a brand spankin’ new pair of boots.

So how do you move yourself into this state on a regular basis?

Here is an active acronym to get you started.

M   ove  

A   side

G    od

I     s

C    reating

That’s right. We are asking the ego, fear, stubbornness, stinginess, and lack to MOVE aside because something bigger than ourselves would like to do their part in the co-creating process.

The God part is up to you, btw. You can fill it in with your own version. The Divine, Comsos, Allah Krishna, Life, The Uni, Higher Self.

Let’s use the sunset as an example of how MAGIC works.

You are on a swanky beach in Cabo. The sand is white, the water blue and the smell of the ocean is soothing every worry that lived in your pretty little head. It’s that beautiful time of day when the sun begins to set and the colors of the sky take your breath away.

Now imagine at that moment, some guy who thinks he can DO everything himself comes down to the beach and starts directing the sunset. “A little more pink! Now a little lower! How about a cloud sweep!”

You would think he was a nut. Why? Because we both know the Divine doesn’t need any help with this one.

She (the Divine) has it covered. Totally covered. In fact, all She really wants you to do is sit back, relax and enjoy as she gives you a psychedelic extravaganza better than any Phish show you have been to.

God is ALWAYS creating. Please, by all means, let Her. And she doesn’t just want to produce sunsets for you, she wants to create screenplays, and soul mate relationships, and ways to help you love your body.

So, what’s YOUR part in all of this MAGIC business?

Think about it like this. How did you SEE that beautiful sunset in the first place? Oh yeah, you bought the ticket to Mexico, you made the plans, and you put on your cute little flips flops that fine day and walked your booty down to the beach. 

Then, She met you with that gorgeous sky.

That, my friend, is EXACTLY your part. Buy the ticket. Get yourself there. Show up to the page. Go out on a date. Get yourself to the gym. Put on your gosh darn flip-flops and walk out your door.

Then please, with all due respect, MOVE ASIDE, so that the MAGIC can happen. She is ready and waiting to her show off her mad skillz.

In the comment section below, tell if you have experienced MAGIC recently by moving aside or tell me what YOUR word is this year.

Bippity boppity boo!

I got back from sunny south Florida last night,
NYC is cold, the wind has a bite.

But, it doesn’t take away from the shiny newness in the air,
because 2012 is here, it’s here!

I like to choose a word that guides me each year,
I’ve chosen MAGIC, yes, MAGIC my dear.

MAGIC happens as we are doing our part.
The planning, the plotting, the tapping into our heart.

However, at some point, we must step outta the way,
In order for MAGIC to have her say.

She will sparkle and glitter and give and shine
She will bring you more than what YOU had in mind.

But first, you must have a very clear vision
because MAGIC gets blocked by indesicion.

Commit, be bold and carve out your way,
watch MAGIC do a dance on a your darkest day.

She creates the sunsets, the wind and the fire,
surely she can bring you all that you desire.

Ready to dream, ready to get clear?
Because Magical Manifesters is finally here!

If you would like your own MAGIC wand,
CLICK HERE, CLICK HERE, the results are BEYOND!

Read about it and please, look over the deets.
Tell your friends. Tell your peeps.

If you jump on board before this Sunday.
You will receive a coupon to save you some Mon-aye!$$

I will also be having a MAGICAL LIVE EVENT,
I promise it will be the best dollas you spent!

See below and in case it’s not clear,
I am wishing you an incredibly MAGICAL new year!

It coming to a close. It’s almost over. We did it. YOU did it. You made 2011 pretty sweet, didn’t ya? 

Last year, I gave you the assignment to give me your Top 10 list of 2010. You ate it up. You revelled in what you accomplished. I shared them on my blog. Others read them and congratulated you.

So we are doing it again. With a twist. This is your Top Ten Greatest Hits of 2011! The things YOU are most proud of accomplishing this year. (horns blasting, bells ringing!!) 

Did you travel somewhere you had never been? Finish writing your book? Fall in love? Broke it off? Dropped lbs? Dropped a bad habit? The big and the small, we celebrate them all!

The twist: Who was the most significant person of the year for you? Your mom, best friend, Lady Gaga? As you look back, is there anyone who stands out above and beyond in your mind? Let’s give them a little praise.

Leave your list in the comment section. I can’t stress how good this will make you feel! I will be reading every word, no matter when you decide to write it.  

Before you go to town, I wanted to share this quick video. I know 2012 is around the corner and you are already starting to plan. I have something today that I know will make you dreams and goals for 2012 foolproof. Click play to watch.

Happy December!

I have so much to share with you this month, so let’s dive right in!

Today, I am overjoyed to share my post SWEAT WITH LOVE: 3 Ways To Rejuvenate Your Workout on one of my favorite blogs, Kris Carr’s Crazy Sexy Life. Pop on over and let me know if you have other sassy ways to rejuvenate YOUR workout by leaving a comment on the Crazy Sexy Life blog. 

I had the privilege of having dinner with Kris Carr a few weeks ago. The amount of inspiration and energy she has in her pinkie finger will blow you away! Kris is a wellness warrior, diagnosed with stage 4 cancer at the age of 31, who went on a deep spiritual, wellness pilgrimage that transformed her life. She now spends her time spreading the message on prevention through nutrition and lifestyle.

Her book, Crazy Sexy Diet is a New York Times #1 best seller. She has been featured on CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, The Early Show, Today Show, Good Morning America, The Gayle King Show and The Oprah Winfrey Show.

So pop on over to  Crazy Sexy Life to get your wellness goodies today. Totally worth the clicks:)

I also want to announce the return of MAGICAL MANIFESTERS: Dream Big. Create A Blueprint. Make it Happen. Trailer coming next week.

Magical Manifesters is a digital course for creative folks who are ready to dream bigger, create a blueprint for those dreams and then… MAKE THEM HAPPEN.

I have taken hundreds of clients through this unique process and believe the key to success is to mix Divine Inspiration with Practical Action- to blend Creativity with straight forward common sense.

People come to Magical Manifesters when they have ideas about what they want, but don’t know the practical steps to make it happen. (So often they end up doing nothing)

Or sometimes they jump on board because they feel scattered and all over the place with their ideas, get distracted and have a hard time following through on ANY of them.

If you can relate don’t be embarrassed or ashamed. I know you are sitting on brilliance and I can help bring them out of you so you can take easy, practical step-by-step actions to bring those ideas to the world.

Students show up for Magical Manifesters to set goals around their careers, their finances, how they want their body to look and feel or even by when they want to get hitched. (Sounds crazy, but I believe it is possible to ask for and create anything!).

The digital course will go on sale later this week and will be available beginning Jan. 9th, 2012.

If you are not on my list and are interested, please send me an email for more info. 

I hope you have a fantastic week!!

Love,
Erin

Happy Thanksgiving-

I just want to thank you for being a part of my life. 

Whether you have been taking class with me for years, have just joined my list, or have only read a few posts, you inspire me.

I know you are here because you are constistently taking actions to improve your life and the lives of others around you, whether it be physically, emotionally or spiriutally. 

I know you are striving and reaching to BE more today than you were yesterday.

Something happens when you surround yourself with people who want to elevate themselves and the world. The feelings generated are… contagious. 

I have caught your infectious energy and I hope you have also caught some of mine.

And today, I hope you will rest knowing you are lovable and kind just, as you are. You are brilliant and profound, just as you are. You are sweet and generous, just as you are. 

I thank you. For being just as you are.

December Shrink Session is about BECOMING A MIRACLE MAKER.

If you are in NYC, I hope you will join me and if you are not, stay tuned, because I will be posted some goodies from my classes on my blog. 

Wishing you and your family and wonderful holiday.

Erin

As you know, I am always looking for ways to live an abundant, healthy and happy lifestyle and love sharing tips and secrets with you along the way.

In today’s video I am sharing something entirely different than I ever have before. 

It’s something I am usually afraid to do…. but I am doing it. For you.

With my good friend Heather Pierce. (She is an outstanding cooking coach who helps your body keep up with your business. She is the creator of “Go Feed Yourself“, a digital cooking program coming out in January 2012 that teaches you how to make healthy, tasty meals in less than 20 minutes.)

If you are like me, cooking intimidates you a little. You want to do more of it, but never know what to make. Long lists of ingredients overwhelm you and you wish you could just throw a few things in a pot and viola!!

When you watch this video, you are going to learn JUST that.

Heather is a master at finding a few ingredients that will make a fantastic meal. She takes a peek in my pantry (which was so embarrassing and so not cute…but I am showing you anyway.) and tells me just what I need. (pop on over after you watch the video. The recipe is OVER here!)

It’s so fricken easy to make and DELICIOUS you won’t believe it!! 

I am NOT kidding when I say, I have made this recipe about 10x’s since we shot this video and I normally almost never cook!

Please, if you only watch one thing online today, let it be this.

 Your tummy will thank you. 

Once you watch it, leave a comment on the blog and let me know if you have any other EASY PEASY recipes that you love. (Lord know I need them) Will you try this one at home?

Can’t wait to hear back from ya!

“Every sun casts a shadow, and genius’s shadow is Resistance.” -Steven Pressfield

How are you doing with your post shower workout?

In case you missed it 6 pack abs… must take shower is waiting for you below this post. I will have a new workout video for you next week, but wanted to switch things up a bit… 

Because the other day, I was pissed…

I was in a bad ass mood. “A negative thought” about not meeting a deadline got caught in my head and was playing on repeat like a bad Miley Cyrus song. 

While that negative tune is something I prefer not to hum along to, I couldn’t shake it.

So, what did I do? I of course called a good friend… to complain.

For about 10 minutes, I did nothing but complain about where I was with this project and where I would like to be.

Luckily for me, my friend was in the middle of something, couldn’t spare me another minute and dropped me like an AT&T call on an iPhone.

A blessing if there ever was one.

Because after we hung up, I thought… How did that conversation just serve me?

• Did it make me feel better? No, it did not.
• Did it quell my thirst and hunger to have what I want? No, it did not. 
• Did it get me further along or closer to what I want? No. It ABSOLUTELY did not.

Uh-oh. I quickly realized, this “phone call” was my own personal form of RESISTANCE. Resistance from the DOING. Resistance from taking ACTION to move myself along on my own sweet little path.

Are ya pickin’ up what I am puttin’ down?

RESISTANCE, we all have it, comes in many forms. Perhaps you:

• get pissed
• get frustrated
• complain
• gossip
• are sad
• are anxious
• rebel (if you object to what I am saying right now and do NOT like when people tell you what to do, that rebellion is a from of Resistance.)

The beautiful thing is, once we recognize our own personal brand of resistance:

• we actually don’t need to Jedi mind trick our way out of it.
• we don’t need to “Om Shanti” our way to perfect peace and bliss.
• we don’t need to “fix” ourselves into believing.

 We just simply need to:

• Stop
• Drop
• and Recognize (said like, “You betta recognize, son!”)

Stop whatever you are doing, drop it like it’s hot and then Recognize that what you ARE doing is a form of NOT DOING what you know ya need to do.

Laugh at yourself for being silly enough to fall for the old resistance trick. Cause it gotcha ya again.

In addition to a good laugh, here are some other things you can do to break down that brick wall of RESISTANCE:

• Do 20 jumping jacks.
• Dance around your room for 10 mins like you own the joint, ’cause you do.
• Take a long shower.
• Take a short walk.

Doing something physical is an awesome way to break it down.  When there is movement in your body, their is movement in your life. It’s really that simple.

So, WHAT IS YOUR PERSONAL BRAND of resistance?  (My personal fav is, “I could have done that so much better”. Ooooh chile’, when I am resisting something, I will tell you once over and up and down how I could do something, anything better than how it was just done. Oopsie. Resistance.)

Leave a comment in the blog and let’s have a good ole laugh about our own personal brands of resistance. It really is that simple.

Have a great week!

P.S. Some folks asked for the affirmations from this month’s SHRINK SESSION. Here they are:)

I am in the right place at the right time
Everything I need, Always arrives

I am willing to be guided, I let my heart lead
I trust my intuition, Things come easily to me.

I step out of my own way, love replaces doubt
Life is crazy sexy fun and it’s all working out.

Hope you are enjoying this fall weather today. It’s gorg in NYC!

I have been getting a bunch of emails lately, asking for some at home fitness tips. 

Well, you know how I do… ask, and you shall receive.

Today I share my #1 all time FAVORITE AB exercise that literally will take you 1 min a day and will get you results in just one month.  

No fancy equipment.

No expensive gym membership. 

But you have to take a shower. Wait, what?!

You will see what I mean when you get a sneak peak of me… in the shower… dun dun dun.

If you want more tips on how to get creative with ‘at home fitness’, leave me a comment in the blog and tell me what body part you want to work the most. 

I will be making more fitness videos in the coming weeks, so now is the time to submit your questions! Don’t be shy! 

Thanks for watching my crazy videos and I hope you have a wonderful week:)

P.S. Due to high demand, I have opened another 5 week Magical Manifester Group Coaching Course.

I have only 4 spots and we start  Monday Oct. 17th @ 6pm.

If you want clarity, are ready to set up some “these are sure as hell-gonna-happen” goals along with an “ain’t no stoppin me” plan of action, then this is for you.

Contact me NOW for more details on the course and to reserve a spot.

Have you ever found yourself in a SLUMP? You don’t feel like doin’ a darn thing and you’re energy is lower than James Franco’s at the Oscars.

Ya might be experiencing a “3/4 slump”. I often hit this slump just as I am about to teach at a big event or finish an important project. (I hit a big one last month!) I learned that this form of “resistance” can make the difference between being average and EXCELLENT! 

If you find you START something new with BOOMING enthusiasm, that wittels away as you chug along, today’s video is for YOU!

Click play and learn a few simple tools that can eliminate that slump for good. I even went out on a limb and wrote A SONG FOR YOU. Which I perform at the end of the video. Yeah, that’s right. It’s a little ridiculous, but I love ya and will do anything to tickle your funny bone, even a little.

If any of this rings a bell, I would love to hear…

1) How you know you are in a slump? and…
2) What YOU do to get out of it?

Come on and share your thoughts in the comment section of the blog!  

As always, thanks for watching and see you soon!
