The Decision Is The Hardest Part

Smart Women Institute — Wed, 22 May 2013 23:59:11 +0000

Did you know that any time you commit to growth that the decision to do so is often harder than the actual growth itself.

It is true… the breakdown is where the decision happens and then the breakthrough happens during the process of the work.

So if you have been on the fence about The Letting Go Project, this is why! Your body and soul are speaking to you.

This is exactly what many of the people who have signed up for our Letting Go Project have said. See some of the comments below:

“But letting go is not so easy, so far, it is time consuming and messy. Bet I will have to let go of “I can do it myself” and actually accept help to speed it along.”

“Yes, this group/program is perfect timing for me as well! So when I saw this it was definitely a message that I needed to be here!”

“I’m like many of you, I also have things that I need to let go of in order to take more steps forward than backwards. Letting go of old ideas so new ones can be birthed in my heart.”

“I am looking forward to learning out to let go and free myself from the imaginary rules I have put on myself.”

” I am afraid of being judged. Yet, that fear told me that sharing this was exactly what my higher self ordered.”

Plus many many more and we haven’t even officially started the course yet. We get started with the first lesson on June 1st.

And we are locking down a few spiritual celebrities to pop in and share their insights too!

PLUS we’ve also added audio downloads to the program. Remember the entire 10 week course is only $47.

Why Aren’t You “In Flow”

Smart Women Institute — Mon, 20 May 2013 21:56:22 +0000

Dear Friend,

You are capable of receiving the entire universe. You are the universe. Yet, you and I and most people in our society do not take enough time to receive and be “in flow” each day.

Why?

Because we are living in a society that is internally focused (self-absorbed, I am alone, etc.) and the opposite, externally focused (what will they think, in fear of judgement, etc.) We live divided and self-relient. And we are struggling because of it.

What we need to EXPERIENCE is oneness.

In an effort to become more universally focused and receive the flow of the universe, you will have to LET GO of all that is weighing on you and in you.

You will have to lighten your load to allow flow.

It is a process, it is work, it is cathartic, and now it is a movement. I hope you will join us, the movement starts on June 1st.

Becoming Whole Again

Smart Women Institute — Sat, 18 May 2013 18:18:24 +0000

Dear Friend,

As many of you know, we recently started a new course called The Letting Go Project. One of our participants, shared this below this morning in our private Facebook group… so I wanted to pass it along to you. It really is a “must read”. Enjoy!

Becoming Whole Again by Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D.

The first house I owned was a little A-frame cabin near the top of a mountain outside of San Francisco. When I bought it, it was so cramped and shabby that the first friend I brought to see it blurted out “Oh Rachel, you bought this?” So the day after I moved in, I started throwing things away and for the next few years I threw away all sorts of things: light fixtures, toilets, carpets, doorknobs. Eventually, I even threw out some ceilings and a few of the walls.

The house had belonged to a man who was proud of his ability to fix things. It had been fixed many times. If there was a hole in the wall, he picked up a board and nailed it there. If his wife wanted a shelf or a door or a deck, he put one wherever she pointed. I threw all of these things away.

Over time I rented many large grange boxes and filled them with everything that did not belong. As I let go of each of these things, I could almost hear my father saying “Just a minute, that still works, you never know when you’ll need one of those.” Gradually, the house became simpler, more empty and the beautiful structural lines of its basic form began to emerge. It became a container for the light. In the end, all that was left was the wholeness. I painted it white.

I have come to think that wholeness may be less about becoming more than it is about letting go of all the ways that you have fixed yourself in order to belong. Healing may require you to remember yourself, to throw away all those values and self expectations and ideas about what matters that you have carried with you for so long that you have forgotten that they are not your own.

My family had the highest regard for academics, for scholarship and intellect, and a deep contempt for the non-rational. My medical colleagues felt the same. For many years I struggled to conform to this way of being in the world. I had hidden my natural way of being from others and ultimately even from myself. It was the price of belonging, of being loved. By nature, I am an intuitive, even a mystic. When I was being scholarly and intellectual I had always secretly felt inadequate. When I began to let go of the ways that I had fixed myself, of the values and beliefs and ways of being that were not really my own, my lifelong feelings of inadequacy, of being the wrong person, went away and never came back.

Is there something you need to let go of in order to become whole?

Do you believe in the Law of Perfect Timing?

Smart Women Institute — Fri, 17 May 2013 21:27:40 +0000

Dear Smart Woman,

Do you believe in the Law of Perfect Timing?

It goes something like this:

“The universe is lining it up just right, and the timing will be just exactly right. And I’m not doing anything wrong. I’m doing everything just exactly right. And in the perfect timing, a timing that I cannot even quite see yet, this is going to happen. And meanwhile there isn’t anything else for me to do.” – Abraham-Hicks

Here is an example of the Law of Perfect Timing from my life just this week in business:

I had a good deal fall through the beginning of this week. Brushed the “loss” off and accepted there was a reason. I got up the next day and launched a program we were already working on called The Letting Go Project . Within five days, the new program is solidly on track to replace the income of the deal! Which is huge considering each sign-up is only $47. I take this as a pretty big sign from the universe that not only did I walk my talk this time (which isn’t easy and I don’t always do it, trust me!), but that you have to trust in the Law of Perfect Timing.

Are you ready for a spiritual cleansing?

Smart Women Institute — Thu, 16 May 2013 21:56:56 +0000

Dear Friend,

Are you ready for a spiritual cleansing? Over the last two days, over 60 beautiful souls have signed up for what I “feel” will be an amazing movement in the coming years.

The movement I am talking about is The Letting Go Project.

Here are just a few of the comments that have been posted in the private Facebook group. I can’t wait to get started on June 1st. I hope you will sign up soon… I mean what else do you have to do this summer that could be as important as letting go of “stuff” like this below:

“Sheri, this is the first time I’ve joined a program like this – I tend to keep my emotions/feelings to myself instead of talking freely about them. All of these lessons connect to me in one way or another. I already feel weight coming off my shoulders just be signing up.”

“I am going through a process of divorce. The backstory has so many levels and is too long to write in the comment section, but I really need this to help me learn to let go of what my life was for the past 18 years, and so that I can move forward instead of living in the past and staying stagnant.”

“Delving right IN to finally LET GO of feeling the chronic, “not good enough” and “not worthy/valuable enough” b.s. that’s been with me since childhood (stories from growing up, family conflicts/dysfunctions, relationships–including the one with i have with myself, etc) and also letting my VOICE go ie: open up so i can be/share/teach/earn and keep being my genuine self with all i have to offer (and offering it up pronto) for the BEST outcomes for all. love, thanks and letting go. and so it shall be!”

“Things that are no longer serving me, guilt, trust issues, not feeling good enough to name a few of the things I am ready to release.”

I absolutely can’t wait to start this course, Sheldon & I have over four decades of experiencing empowering others to “let go”. You are in caring hands.

When Will You Nurture Your Inner Creative Child?

Smart Women Institute — Thu, 02 May 2013 16:58:06 +0000

When is the last time you nurtured your inner creative child? Do you feel like with all the responsibilities on your plate that you just don’t have time? Or are you waiting for permission?

Today’s Positive Transformation Homework:

Do one creative act for at least thirty minutes. After you are finished, journal a few notes about how you felt during the creation and after the act of creating. If you want to feel this way again, schedule more time to nurture your inner creative child.

Picture of my thirteen year old daughter and her “Black Sharpie” creation. What could you create if you weren’t being an adult all the time?

How To Grow Your Heart

Smart Women Institute — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 22:02:17 +0000

I think it is really clear what our purpose is. We should be doing EVERYTHING we can in life to nurture ourselves so our hearts can remain as big as possible. That means spending time forgiving others and seeing them as perfectly flawed humans.
