When I got my book deal with Hay House Publishing, I was beyond thrilled.
Started by, Louise Hay, the mother of all affirmations, Hay House has been responsible for books written by the beloved Wayne Dyer, Christiane Northrup, Marianne Williamson, and my friend, Kris Carr.
BUT, I have a confession.
It was a long road to get this book out into the right hands.
It took me 2 years just to get the proposal right.
I slogged through it.
I resisted writing.
I busied myself with other things, knowing this one was important. Isn’t it crazy how we do that?
I felt stuck much of the time while working on it.
But then at some point, I gained clarity.
I had a breakthrough.
Once that happened, the deal actually came together in a matter of weeks and was completely smooth sailing from there.
You could say it was an overnight success. But you and I both know, success takes countless hours of showing up again and again. Even when we feel stuck.
So to that I say, sometimes timing is everything!
Here’s my big takeaway:
Sometimes ya gotta just keep pluggin’ away.
In Mantras in Motion, I dive deeper into my philosophy on movement, mantras and mindfulness and the power these elements have to transform your entire life when used together.
In the meantime, let’s get YOU unstuck with some movement.
The thing is, sometimes we just don’t feel like doing ‘it.’
Whatever ‘it’ is. (Like me writing my book proposal.)
Maybe we are not super pumped about anything. Or we are having a hard time finding our groove.
I find that moving during this time, just to get the energy flowing is good. SO…
I made you a short, 5 minute movement video, that you can do from wherever you are!
Here is what a member had to say:
“Just finished!! This is exactly what I needed! I felt so blah. I’ll be doing this again later to keep energy flowing. Thank you for doing these! They make a big difference.” -Marcia
Who is going to try it? Do it right now!
And if you decide you want more of these, we have a whole bunch of 5 minute workouts inside The Movement and so much more! Sign up for the 7-day free trial and check it out!

A definite shift. Congratulations on all your good news ! So well-deserved. Enjoy your special day – celebrating you!
Stroll not scroll!
Happy Birthday!! Thank you so much for sharing this video. There’s something so magical about your exercises. They are so effective but gentle at the same time. Everytime when I feel really tired and stuck with stiff muscles, your workouts are the only form of exercise I feel like doing because they don’t only affect the body but the mind as well. And I always feel good after them. Sometimes after a workout you feel exhausted but after yours I only feel better. And I definitely love these short videos! Thank you for the amazing job that you do!
Happy Birthday 🎉! Thank you for the reminder how fun your five minute workouts are! Ready to log in and do a few more!

Happy birthday, dear Erin! May your day be joyful and your year blessed!
Hey. That was a great workout. Thank you! I missed the affirmations I’ve seen in other videos, though. I really enjoy pairing the movement with affirmations. In your email you asked if people would like more videos like this, and, yes, I would love them!
Happy Birthday! Thank you for the gift! I took some of that really easy because I’m coming off of a big neck spasm where my neck was literally stuck:) It was an excellent set of movements for feeling out that area and bringing the blood flow back in. Thank you so much for sharing it!
Loved the movement!! Thank you… I’ve needed something low impact to get moving.
Happy Birthday Erin! Thank you so much for sharing with us. I love your workouts and the five minute ones are great to do during my lunch break at work. I have been feeling stuck lately and feel much better after this workout!
Happy Birthday! Thanks for the gift to us. It was energizing and joyful.
Thank you! Perfect! and happy happy birthday!!
Happy birthday, Erin! I adore this video and will be bookmarking it for the future. Is there a way to make it fullscreen, though? I’d love to not quint to see you while I’m doing it… 🙂
And congrats again on Hay House!!!

Happy,Happy birthday Erin,
You have been an inspiration to me for a while now, since before the Boston marathon!
You are a beautiful soul and a guiding light, bringing us home. Thank you my friend for reminding all of us in this family.
Happy Birthday Erin Mine is the 3rd. Loved the 5 minute video.
Really got the blood flowing and heart pumping.
Thanks. Linda
Erin, you’re seriously the BEST!!! I needed this more than air itself this morning!! I’m venturing to finally put 20 years worth of music into a cd and to say that I feel daunted is the understatement of the century. SO many tears flowed from doing this with you, and with those tears flowed the courage and energy and love to keep moving forward! Please don’t ever ever ever take it down (pretty please), I’m gonna be using it every morning before I start my work! 🙂 Wishing I could give you the biggest birthday hug of all time!!!
Thank you so much for this! Perfect timing and I’m so inspired and centered now! Huge love and magic!
Thanks for the reminder of how valuable 5 minutes can be. And fun too! Happy bday!
Serendipitous timing as usual Erin. I cried, I smiled, I feel like I’m centred, energised and looking forward at what I truly desire. Thankyou!
I did this right before going to work on my writing project for the day. I can totally relate to the resistance that comes up like you said. Now I feel like I just got some new energy and a big a breath of fresh air. I am ready to dive in! Thanks for all your amazing workouts!
Happy Birthday, Erin! 🙂 Thank you for all that you do, all the positive workouts and warm energetic encouragement that lifts us up. <3
Erin, this seemed to be exactly what I needed. I did it as a warm up for my more intense workout and unexpectedly cried……something must have been stuck indeed :), so I set the intention to keep letting whatever loosened up to keep moving when I did my next workout. Thank you beautiful one!!!
Luved the 5 min. movement workout Erin! Just what I needed after a long work day! The Energy is flowing! Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday! Thank you for the session, it was exactly what I needed to hear and do. Wishing you a blessed day. 🙂
Happy Birthday! I felt my ‘stuck’ energy move. Thank you for this workout! Needed it today! 🙂
Thank you for this! I felt like I was done with my day and now I am read energized and ready to tackle the next thing. Happy birthday!
Thankyou Erin feel energised and Happy Birthday. Have a great day you are such a blessing and may they return to you over and over every day
Love the short workout and especially the ones with positive affirmations ❣️Jill
Wonderful and just what I needed. I’m in a tough time in my life – muddling through an ugly divorce. A five minute do anywhere workout is a great way to keep my spirits healthy.
First of all, Happy Birthday!
I LOVE your workouts. These five minute ones are simply wonderful. As my sandwich generation takes care of both our kids and elderly parents- you have no idea of what 5 minutes of movement, and time dedicated to myself can do.. I am on my 3rd hospital visit this year- so, Icdrop off the kids and then go to the hospital for the day . Then pick up the kids, do supper, etc.
Do you know that I do your 5 minute workouts, when i can,in the family room? I go to get ice, take five minutes and continue on with the day.I think I am going to start these at night, It is the best way to clear my head.
Thank you so much.
Happy Birthday Erin! Thank you so much for this workout – it was exactly what I needed! Feeling unstuck and ready to move forward! Thank you very much! 😀
Beautiful. You, your energy and inspiration, and that song. Please tell us the title and artist!
Thank you for this gift. Got the energy in my body moving–needed this! Many thanks, and wishing you a Happy Birthday!
Thank you!!!! This was exactly what I needed tonight. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! =D
It was beautiful Erin! I forgot what it felt like to open and contract like that.
Thank you for sharing your birthday and the gift of you with us. You are such a joy! xoxo
Happy birthday, Erin. Great! Thank you so much. 5 minutes is just right for no excuses!
That was awesome- exactly what I needed tonight to get me into motion. Thank you!!!
Yes ! Please keep this up
Happy Birthday Week! 🌼 That was so awesome! Thanks for bringing me joy. I feel like I have physically made space in my life in just a few short minutes.
Love it! I’m in my early 70s and, while I walk a lot, I sometimes forget to do more vigorous moves like this. Thanks!
I SO needed this. I found myself smiling the whole second half. I was in a crappy state five minutes earlier. I feel lighter, better, thank you!
Erin, I am a 75 year old woman with many health challenges, but I did try your 5 opening exercise and did what I could. I enjoyed it even with the limitations my body places on me. Thanks for sharing these with me. I will try to work on the free 5 minute exercises you shared. Yes, I did consult my doctor about exercise, and he is encouraging me in it!
Happy belated Birthday! Loved the workout. I’m feeling energized. Thank you!
Hi! Happy birthday!!!
Thank you for this – I keep checking my e-mail a day later (or two..), so it is a late afternoon, I just got up and did it! Felt great, and much needed. It is only five minutes but I felt activated and refreshed.
Thank you again!
Thank you for your birthday gift to us. It’s amazing that 5 minutes is all it takes to move
the blah energies. Much appreciation!
Happy belated Birthday to you, Erin! I rarely do aerobic activity like this. The most I do is walking, but today I missed the walking. I got to do this instead and loved it! I’ll be doing it lots more. Thank you!
energizing as you promised.
Thank you for sharing this.
Hope your birthday was great.
I loved it, I loved it, I loved it!!!!! Sometimes you just need some nice movements to keep the energy moving. This workout can be done at the office, in the morning before leaving to work, when you get home at night… everywhere.
Also it made me feel connected to my body, helped to loose control of my mind and felt the movements were kind of sensual, so helped me to feel more sexy. Girl, this is a winner!!!
Thank you Erin for this beautiful workout, keep them coming 🙂
It’s amazing what just 5 minutes can do! Thank you Erin for gifting us on your birthday – hope it was wonderful! And a big congratulations on your book deal!! Hay House is one of my favorites as well. Can’t wait till it’s released! Many blessings to you 💜
Lovely, TY
Thank you for this! I really needed that. The tingles of relaxation afterwards are awesome 🙂
That felt wonderful. Thank you!
Nice energy to this. I will use it again. Thanks!
Happy Birthday and thanks for the gift. Really love this, Erin. Bought your shrink session last year and would really be happy if I could add this workout to it. Can you post a link so we can download? Looking forward to the release of your book.
Thank you, Erin
Belated Happy Birthday Erin – mazel too and many happy, meaningful years.
Just cleaning out my emails and discovered this little treasure! Thanks for getting me moving and off my butt. Feeling the energy flow was awesome!
Hi Erin, Thank you so much. I hadn’t had a chance to check the workout out but did it today just after doing one of other workouts. I’ve been going through some stress and had actually been feeling really sad and stuck. This brought me such relief that I had tears in my eyes after doing it. I’ll do it again later. Much love to you!
Happy birthday dear Erin! <3
Thank you for your gift and for your great work! It has always been inspiring and helpful to me. This one came exactly the right time!!! I just finished it and feel energized!
Thank you
That was fantastic! Just what I needed this Monday morning! Thank you for providing us such inspiring words and movements. All of your videos are great! I love the shorter 5-20 minute ones!!
Thank you for this Erin.👍
As always your blogs always seemed tuned in to what I need at that moment. I Know what I need to do but can’t get motivated (blah!)
Hope you had a great Birthday
Good stretching exercise that just about anyone could do.
Thanks
Just completed this great workout, gosh I needed that!
Can feel the heart beating, blood pumping and muscles engaged!
It has 100% lifted my energy and helped me feel more alive.
I live in Melbourne and the weather has just turned to winter, I am struggling with the cold and the evenings becoming dark so early.
I did this work out as soon as I got home and I am so glad I did!
Thanks Erin- you rock 😉
P.s – happy belated bday.
Loved the part where you said take up space. So need to hear that! It’s a good reminder to remember I can live a big life. Thank you!
Thank you, Erin!
Just want to thank you for this little energy clearing session. I’ve added it to my morning routine after meditation and love ❤️ it!! Thank you for sharing your honesty!!! And now, Blessings on the little growing life inside you🤗
I had this flagged for a few and just did it now. I’ve apparently been stuck, thus the procrastination. wink. It was amazing and felt so good. Thank you babe!! Needed this big time. xoxo
