Listen to What Terri Levine Has To Say When She Answered the Heroes Question "When Was The Lowest Point In Your Life and How Did You Change Your Life Path To One Of Victory Over the Obstacles You Were Facing at That Time?"
Terri Levine: I went through a very low period about nine years ago. It was just one incident after the next. My mom, who was probably the person I was closest to on the planet, passed away. A week later, one of my very good friends, who was only 40 years old, passed away. My cat, who was 22 years old and had been with me forever, passed away, and then a few months later, my dog passed away.
And it was just a lot all at once, as I’m sure you can imagine. And many things started to happen, like physically I started to feel ill and I started to gain weight. I really noticed that I needed to do something so that I could overcome the firewall that I was in. The first thing I did was to reach out to other people who had been in some of these circumstances.
I began to talk to people who had lost their mom and were also female and about my age. I just reached out to connect. I went on the internet and found some grief groups and read every single book that I could find. And one of the things that I did learn was to let in the sadness, not to push it away, just to be with it. And through my exploration of what else I could do, I hired a life coach.
And by the way, Ralph, I had never heard of a coach at that time. So I hired my own life coach and through that experience I not only began to deal with and accept all of the things that had come into my life, but it let my career change. I lost the weight I needed to lose and got a total attitude adjustment.
I also began to study Abraham Hicks and began to understand that we are not necessarily physical beings, we are eternal beings. And so, I’ve been able to come to more peace and more understanding and more spirituality. My life went from an extremely low point and then went to some of the greatest experiences that I’ve ever had in my life within the last 7 or 8 years.
