Richmond IONS February 2021 Meeting
“How to Give Up the Need to Be Right and Get What You Want.”
Our February 20, 2021 program will feature a talk by Vickie Griffith, Florida-based author and hypnotherapist, about her latest book,
entitled You Can Be Right About Everything and Still Have Nothing.
You are doing all the right things to grow your life, yet it still feels stagnant. Your family is unattached or bickering with each other. Your boss is getting on your last nerve and it is getting harder to enjoy your work. You have gone to seminars, read the latest spiritual or self -help book, but you are still stuck.
Same people, same office, same issues every day. Nothing seems to go right for you. You wake up in the middle of the night worried about money, your children, your health. You are plain tired out, worried, stressed and anxious.
It is not for lack of knowing what to do. You are a smart person. It is not for lack of working hard. You work hard. The truth is the self-help industry has you confused. Do you work a bit harder or stop working so hard? Do you seek outside advice or listen from within, to your own inner voice?
And they tell you it is all your fault, that you cannot have it all. Or can you? There is partial truth to “it is your fault,” but not in the way you think. It is not that you cannot stick to the plan. You have had some success or done it before. It is not hard work or putting in more time that gives you what you want in life.
It is something sneakier and slier that you do not even realize is the reason you give up. Your need to be right is keeping you stuck.
But hold on. You are taking that the wrong way. It is the need to prove your faulty and flawed belief systems are right that is getting in your way, and she’ll offer plenty more on that during her talk.
Vickie previously addressed our group in September 2016 and was one of the most engaging speakers we’ve ever had. We are very pleased to welcome her back.
About Vickie Griffith, Our Richmond IONS February 2021 Presenter
Vickie Griffith struggled with her weight until…she stopped dieting. As a reserved, fat, unhappy teenager, she lived every day as a wall flower. Due to her lack of confidence and a low self-esteem, she was good at sabotaging any efforts to lose weight and keep it off.
That is until she lost 49+ pounds and has kept it off for over 20 years, using simple, easy to implement tools that stopped the food cravings, managed anxiety, and stopped the sabotage. She went from a ho-hum, unhappy, fat existence as a teenager to a certified hypnotist, an Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) professional, a professional speaker, and a regularly featured radio and television show guest.
She is the author of Stucked UP!: A Breakthrough Path to Getting Unstuck and co-author of Life Boosts with two New York Times Best Selling Authors, plus her current book. Her infectious enthusiasm and deceptively low-key, casual approach leave a lasting impression on her audiences.
Vickie loves to travel throughout the country offering keynotes, coaching, and workshops. She, along with her husband, Terry, moved south to escape the cold Michigan winters. They settled in Virginia for 15 years.
When the winters became too cold here, they moved further south and now live in Florida with their two dogs Surrey and Kim. She jokes that she has become one of those Floridians that she used to laugh at; bundled up when it is 70 degrees outside with mittens, a coat, and a scarf.
