The power of our thoughts

Our thoughts greatly affect our attitudes, and behavior. Every thought leads to certain actions and as we continue to act on our thoughts wether they’re good or bad, we can eventually see that we do BECOME what we think about most of the time.

So, why is it important to have good thoughts? Have you ever met a person who is extremely negative and constantly complaining?…How do you feel around that person? Maybe drained, tired or you simply don’t want to be around them. Our thoughts are always being expressed outwardly even more often than we realize. We can tell what a person thinks and the quality of their thoughts by the way in which they speak about themselves, their surroundings and others.

On the other hand, we can also notice the difference from the positive thinker. They speak and act differently, their behaviors are completely opposite and people actually enjoy being around them. Our thoughts really do have a lot more power than we think. The longer we stay in a negative state, the more likely it will become a habit, a bad habit. So, if we want to create a positive and good habit we have to practice that and continually keep our minds at a higher more positive level. Positive thinking really can create our happiness. Just one thought can make a difference.

Our THOUGHTS affect our ➡ FEELINGS, our feelings affect our ➡ ACTIONS our actions become our ➡ HABITS and our habits become our ➡ DESTINY

If we really think about it, we can see that our THOUGHTS eventually become our DESTINY! So, how important is it for us to think positively? How important is it for us to feed our minds good things?…Knowing that our thoughts will eventually become our destiny?

Proverbs 23:7 says

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:

Basically, everything that we think about we actually become. So, if we say negative things about ourselves, they will happen. If we think negatively about others, our actions will show it and all of those thoughts will eventually be returned to us. If we give off negativity we will receive it and if we think positively about ourselves, others and our situations we will give off good, positive energy that will later be returned to us positively. Keeping our thoughts positive will eventually create that peace in our hearts and allow us to become what we think about. 🙂

We are in control of what we think about and how we let it affect us. In class we talk about how nothing from the outside can affect us inside, unless we give it permission to do so. Its all a chain reaction which begins with our thoughts and how we react to the events that happen in our lives. The equation is:

Event + RESPONSE or Thought = outcome

We can always choose the thoughts & make them good for us 😉

God knows what’s in our hearts, He knows our thoughts and the desires that we have to change for the better and to be more positive and have more faith in Him.

He has said;

Yea, I tell thee, that thou mayest know that there is none else save God that knowest thy thoughts and the intents of thy heart. (D&C 6:16)

He knows the things that we want to work on and do better on. He knows our thoughts, how we feel, and because He is so full of live He will help us to overcome our negative habits. He will help us to change our minds and to make our thoughts positive and filled with faith and power on knowing that we are not alone. That our strength doesn’t just depend on us alone, but that we become stronger in God! And as His children we have access to all the love, peace and positivity that our Father possesses as long as we’re willing to be open to receive it. 🙂 He will help us. Trust in His love & know that you’re just a thought away from feeling happy, thankful, peaceful and joyful. ???

Our spiritual goal for the week is to have awareness of our thoughts. To change them into positive thoughts and to strengthen our minds by keeping the good inside of us and getting rid of anything negative with the help and power that God can provide. Our meditation in class tomorrow will have some of this in it 🙂

Our physical goal for the week is to push ourselves to exercise at least 2 days this week. The goal is to add weights or more resistance To our exercises. This will strengthen our muscles and bones and keep us feeling strong and energized. 🙂 We also want to add more water to our days this week. 😉 Make sure to do that! Our bodies need it! 🙂

Hope that you have a wonderful day thinking good thoughts about yourself and others and giving off all that is good. God will return the good that we do into our lives and our joy will be even greater in knowing that God is pleased with our thoughts, feelings and our actions. Doing these things will eventually bring peace, happiness and positivity into our lives. Remember, you’re not alone in this and you can just do your best ONE DAY AT A TIME! ❤️

Hope to see you tomorrow morning for a wonderful workout, toning and meditation. This is your chance to get rid of stress, disconnect from the negative or the unimportant to connect to your higher self. Come try it for yourself and feel the difference. Please don’t forget that Critter Camp will also be offered at 9:30am and your little ones can have a wonderful class as well. Take care of yourself and do your best for each day 🙂

Have a wonderful day!

Love,

Be a light

We all share similar emotions at this time when we see the events that have happened so close to us and all of the other tragic and terrible events that have happened and continue to happen around the world. It’s easy to feel discouraged, fearful, angry and sad during these times.

Have you ever wondered why the world seems to be getting worse and worse? It’s because the enemy knows that he’s running out of time!…He knows his days are counted and he’s trying harder and harder to influence people to do more evil and to create more fear and chaos in the world. But, just as there’s evil around us, there’s also a lot MORE GOOD! The news will never show it to us…But more and more people are doing good in the world, In our communities in our neighborhoods and all around us.

We choose not to keep our focus on the evil, the negative or on whatever the enemy is trying to do. Instead we make sure that there’s more good  within ourselves, in our families and in the world around us! 🙂 We help ourselves to get stronger by coming to God and asking Him to provide His light, His strength and His help so that we may all be united as souls who are built to do good in the world  & who are getting  stronger stronger by the minute. <3 🙂

This is what the enemy fears! That we will all come together to help one another, or to lift each other. He fears that we will be kinder and more loving toward others and that we would be willing  to do MORE GOOD in the world and become stronger children of God. We can choose to help the families who have lost a loved one, we can choose to strengthen our children! our marriages! our families, our schools, our communities and be willing to be a light to anyone whom we come in contact with. 🙂 That is why it is so important for us to act in a way in which we can help the world around us to feel more love, to be more kind and peaceful toward each other. <3 We can choose to turn these evil things into opportunities to do GOOD.

God knows every detail of what is happening in our own individual lives and in the world around us. He has an individual plan for each one of us. He is excited, willing and ready to help us!!! We are the ones that can be His hands int his world to do good and cover it with goodness starting from what we feel inside our souls to what we share with our families, friends, strangers or the world in general. He wants us to come to Him during our moments of sadness, frustrations etc… So, that He may heal our hearts and purify us with a desire to let go of those feeling and instead to be filled with His light and peace. He wants us to choose to come to Him, so that we may experience for ourselves what it is like to receive the peace that only HE can provide to our souls during the difficult times that we face. So, believe in Him, Trust in His power and allow yourself to feel covered in HIS peace, His love and his protection which will allow you to go out into the world and do some AMAZING THINGS!!! 🙂 <3

These are some of the scriptures that will help us to remember that we are children of God, that we have access to His peace, His love and His light. <3

 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. (Mathew 5:16)

 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. (Mathew 5:8)

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (Psalm 27:1)

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. (John 14:27)

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Remember, He is an amazing God! If He’s allowing us to be on this earth today it’s because our work isn’t done here yet! He gives us new opportunities to do better and to be better.  He will provide the help and healing that we need in each situation. He is trusting us to be a positive influence in the world in which we live. He loves us and will answer our prayers in his infinite timing and wisdom. We really have to doubt our doubts before we doubt our Faith! <3

So, Lets to give light to the world around us. Lets be courageous filling ourselves and those around us with light to shine in the dark if necessary. Find others to unite with, so that our lights together will be stronger and as we unite ourselves we will be able to do more & more good together.

Our goal is to be the hands of God on this earth. To do good to serve and lift others. even those who may be different from us and even strangers! Our goal is to leave this earth when our time comes in PEACE knowing that we did the best we could for those who we know and for those who we don’t know! We are all Gods children and we can all help each other in our times of need…there’s a lot we can do. So let’s do it! Let’s give light and love! Let’s flood the earth with goodness!!!!! Darkness will not prevail when there’s amazing people like all us, trying to do the best that we can to do good in the world one day at a time. There’s so much good out there! try to see it and try to find it and be an active part of it! <3

Our spiritual goal for the week is to be a light!!! We want to turn our focus toward others, not just focusing ourselves, even though its important for us to fill our minds and souls with all that is good and positive etc. But, the main goal is to do something good for another person each day of the week!  We can  help the others who are suffering, hungry, who need clothing, shelter or donations. We can give service to someone who needs it or be there for a friend or a stranger who seems down on themselves. Anything that we can do will help. We can even choose to post only positive messages for a week on social media to provide light and positive messages of love and kindness. Ask God each morning to guide you to the person that HE NEEDS YOU TO HELP & be prepared to see how incredibly amazing He makes things happen for you to be able to help others.

Our physical goal is to meditate, to take time alone to calm our minds in peace and quiet. Sit outside and let your mind be clear. Clarity will help you define you goals and also help you to realize how you want to love and take care of yourself of your body, what you eat, drink etc. Begin choosing good foods and exercise for you to make you  happy, and to give you the energy that you need for yourself and to be able to give more to others.

See you tomorrow morning at 9:30 for an amazing workout and awesome mediation session!!! Remember that starting tomorrow the Critter Camp class will start at the same time as our class in case you have little ones ages 2 & up who would like to attend.  Have a blessed and wonderful week! Stay strong! Be a light and let’s do our best one day at a time! 🙂

Love,

Lili <3

Daughter of God

We live in a world of image and comparison, where women are surrounded by pressure to look and be a certain way. The world around us wants us to place our confidence on material things, on our looks or on what we achieve.

There’s something of more meaning than all of those things. The truth is that we are all on this earth for such a small amount of time, if we use up our precious time focusing on what the rest of the world thinks, we will loose ourselves. Our  joy will begin to diminish, we will feel that have will never be “enough”and we will eventually feel the pressure of the world become so strong that it will make us feel sad, insecure, depressed and with very little love for ourselves or the life that we Do have!..

I want to remind you that there is a Father in Heaven. The father of our souls who created the universe and all of the things that exist so perfectly here on this earth and outside of the earth as well. He is the Father of our spirits! The creator of our bodies! He placed all things around us even our own selves to give variety and beauty to the earth. Can you imagine if He had made us all the same? How beautiful is it that we all have different shapes, sizes, ethnicities, colors etc..He created all of us! And we are all beautiful and perfect to Him 🙂 All of His creations, including us. Have been placed to add beauty to the earth and to testify that there is a God.

Out of all of His creations we are His most precious one. Think of the way in which your body functions, your cells, your muscles, lungs to breathe, our heart, eyes, hands etc… Our bodies are amazing and we should be filled with gratitude for having them. For the way in which they work and for being able to allow our spirit to live inside our body. This is why we want to take care of our ourselves, to please God, to show Him that we are thankful and that we treasure what He has given us.(Our body, mind and spirit) All of His creations are perfectly made. He doesn’t make anything sloppy or imperfect. Which means that your body is perfectly made. It is up to us to take good care of it and to strengthen the spirit that lives inside it. 🙂

As a son or daughter of God we have specific things to do on this earth. It is no accident that we’re here at this precise time. He sent us with a purpose to be a light to others and to help make a difference in the world.

As a son and daughter of God we can have His power and light to be with us. As we choose to come closer to Him and to live a life having a relationship with God in our lives we will feel the strength that He can provide for His children each day. Just take a moment to feel Him in your life and to allow His strength to pour over you. 🙂 You are His son or daughter, He will help you, strengthen you and lift you always! With Him there is no need to look to the world for confidence because BEING CONFIDENT IS GOD IS STRONGER THAT ANY OTHER CONFIDENCE THAT THE WORLD COULD PROVIDE.

So, be confident in HIM! Place your trust in Him! Know that the adversary is against you coming closer to God, his goal is to distract you, to fill your with discouragement, fear and negativity and to make you feel discouraged and eventually miserable like he is…But know that in those times you have a GOD WHO IS YOUR SOURCE OF POWER! Who will rescue you, help you and fill you with His strength for you to overcome anything that may come your way. Your are a child of God and as such, your potential is AMAZING!!! Trust in our father each day at a time. He love us each so deeply and individually. Allow yourself to come to Him and fill your life with the  confidence that He can provide you, and not  in the way the world thinks…But in the way that God sees it. Which is higher, stronger and more important than anything else.

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths.

As we live our lives acknowledging our blessings, having gratitude each day for what we’re given and placing our confidence and trust in God. We will see that it will be easier to recognize the tactics of the enemy, we will gain STRENGTH FROM OUR FATHER TO REJECT the negative or evil that goes after our peace, our minds and our souls. Our father will allow us to see how important we are to Him. He cares about the very small details of our lives as well as the big ones and our strongest desire will be to continue to be a stronger son and daughter of His on this earth. We want to please Him and to know that in Him we are confident and in Him we can do all things. <3 Stay close to Him and know in whom you TRUST. He is your strength and power each day of your life. Feel His love and be happy for what you have and for the person that He can help you become. 🙂 <3

our spiritual goal for the week is to let go of what the world may think about us and to focus on the way that God sees us. As His child we have access to Him. Our goal this week is to come closer to Him. To feel the amazing confidence that He can proved and to remind ourselves that we are strong daughter of God with confidence and courage to dissolve the evil things if the world. <3

Our physical goal is to eat more nutritious foods. Vegetables, fruits, beans and legumes. Eating healthy will help us to feel much better. Also remember to exercise and do something good for your body and your mind.

Cant wait for class tomorrow morning!!! We will be ready to exercise, get rid of stress, sickness or anything negative that we need to get rid of! & We will be ready to renew ourselves and to be filled with physical, emotional and spiritual strength!! Remember that staring tomorrow there will also be a Children’s class called Critter Camp for kids 2 & up (class is $5) & They’re going to have a great time!  The best thing is that it will be at the same time as our Lili Fitness class in case you would like to do something great for yourself and for your little one as well!  Please remember to bring water and a mat for yourself and please know that this class has zero judgements!!! You just come, do your best, meditate and leave feeling AMAZING!!!   Hope that you can be there and invite anyone who would benefit to come as well. We will all leave feeling so amazing and soooo Good!  

Have a wonderful day & know that your are loved by the most amazing God! <3

Love always,

Lili 🙂 <3

 

 

Live by Faith & not by Fear

With everything that we see in the news, in the world around us and with the different circumstances and challenges that we experience in our lives, It’s easy to feel discouraged and fearful of what could happen in the future. When we experience stress or challenges our minds begin to bring in all kinds of doubts, fears and emotions. These negative thoughts can take over and overpower our minds and souls making us feel unhappy, sad, frustrated and miserable:(…We have to be careful of how far we let our negative thoughts and emotions control us. Faith and fear can have the same power in our body, we just have to choose which one we want to hold on to. We can’t have Faith and Fear at the same time in our souls, one will always overpower the other and ultimately we are the ones who have to choose the path of either living by faith or living by fear.

We already know that the path of fear brings even more stress, anxiety, heartaches, insecurity and it’s even shown the physical damages that it can cause to our health. So, why should we choose Faith? God put us on this earth for us to learn form our experiences. He is testing us to see if we will do all the things that He has asked us to do. One of those things is to learn to walk by Faith! We must learn in this life to rely on Him, to place our full trust in God! He wants us to change our hearts ♥️ To LEARN to set aside the fear and to come to Him with Full trust, believe & Faith in God. This is one of the greatest tests of our lives. The question is; What will we choose? & How will we react?

Have you thought about how faith works? Faith is what makes everything happen. Think about the smallest little things we do daily…Before every single action there’s a thought and a desire to do something. We believe that we can do that action and we actually go and do it! 🙂 It’s that believe that lives in our daily actions. It’s because we believe that we actually try to do the action! Because we have that faith and believe in those results. For example; Would we plant ? if we didn’t think we could reap? Would we try to ride a bike if we didn’t think we could do it? Etc…It’s the belief that WE CAN! 😉 that makes it possible for us to reap the benefits. So, basically we use faith daily without even knowing it. We just forget to put it to use on the bigger things that come into our lives. Which is exactly what God is waiting for us to do! To trust Him in BIGGER & GREATER WAYS!!! & to witness what we can do ANYTHING with His help ??

He tells us In 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 

He has also reminded us by saying; Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Deuteronomy 31:6

See how God has made a promise? He is a God that doesn’t lie. If he promises to be with us, then He will! It is only up to us to believe HIM and to open up the way for Him to work His promises and miracles in our lives. We have to trust His words and be ready and prepared to do them! 🙂 If we search the words and promises of God we will see that He doesn’t give us a spirit of fear (because it’s the adversary that uses fear against us & to STOP us from progressing! ) God uses FAITH! Power, Hope & belief to push us toward our progression! 🙂 ?He tells us in Isaiah 41:10 Feat thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Our world is need of more spiritual strength! ??We need to strengthen ourselves daily by filling our minds and souls with positive faith building messages. We can make our homes places of peace where we filter what we allow to enter into our homes and into our lives. As we try to do our best to bring more light into ourselves we will be better able to talk to God and have a stronger relationship wth Him. We will be able to fully let go of our fears and know that we can receive His strength by coming closer to Him and really letting Him take control of our lives by leaving it all in His hands.

When we fully trust in Him we will be able to see more clearly the miracles in our lives. We will be able to be a light to others and to be the strength that they need during their difficult times. Because when we experience God fully and completely we can testify if His power and what He can do for our lives and for the lives of those who can place their trust in Him as well. They will be able to see that God is REAL in our lives, that He loves us and that He wants us to fully let go of the fear, to push it away because we know it doesn’t come from God and to walk in this life holding on to the hand of God, handing it all over to Him and FULLY TRUSTING HIM IN ALL THINGS.

When we choose to replace our Fear with our Faith we will see how much lighter we will feel and how great it will be to witness what God can do when we have Faith and when we put the action towards what He tells us to do. Specially since we know that Faith without works is dead. So we must put in the work necessary and the ACTION to move towards that dream or that desire that God put in our hearts. By having faith and doing the work we will experience first hand the POWER OF FAITH working, growing and GROWING stronger and STRONGER in our lives.?

I hope that you can feel strengthened by the faith that is already In you. Let it grow! Allow it to take over and change your mind, your heart and your soul. Trust in God. Talk to Him and know that ALL Things will work out for your good because God loves you! He cares for you and He wants you to grow in spirit because you CHOOSE to do it, and because He promised to help you though it! 🙂 He won’t force us to do anything, He gives His words and allows us to choose. Its when we choose to trust Him that we will begin to see and feel Him with more clarity in our lives. We are children of God and we know that Faith is where we gain our strength. WE LIVE BY FAITH & Not by Fear ?♥️

Our spiritual goal for the week is to let go of fear and live by Faith! Knowing that God will protect us, He will fulfill His promises and we will work with our Faith to allow it to grow from a tiny seed into a string tree! 🙂 Remembering to place our trust in Him daily, because he wants to help us each and every day of our lives. We can talk to Him, ask Him for guidance to know what to do, and how to redo to the challenges of our lives. We give it all to Him and we follow the promptings that He speaks to our heart. His voice is peaceful, calm, full of love, we just have to make the time to talk to Him and listen. By doing so, He will direct us for Good. This week we will reject the fear, and BE FULL OF FAITH! Do it for yourself and notice how different you feel! He will bless you and help you! …Just BELIEVE in HIM ??✨

Our physical goal for the week is to make time for exercise and to choose healthy snacks.

Make the time to give yourself a gift to exercise! I know it’s sometimes the last thing we want to do, we just have to allow our minds and bodies to have even 15 minuets of something good for us physically and emotionally. Exercise helps us with both of those things. If you don’t feel motivated and need a little push, please let me know! I’ll help you in any way I can. Also remember to eat healthy snacks to feel better each day. Just ask yourself is this snack good for me? Is it nutritious? Will it help me feel better after I eat it? 🙂

Tomorrow at 9:30 am will be our first morning class!!! ? I’m so excited to be able to teach a morning class with an amazing group that is ready to do something great for themselves Physically, emotionally and spiritually 🙂 Please let go of the fear of coming and TRUST in yourself and in God that it will all be ok 🙂 Remember our spiritual goal for this week is to live by faith and not by Fear! Leave the fear at home and come in faith knowing that you will gain something wonderful from this class. I hope that you can make it! Even if it’s just to come in and meditate at the end, to help you relax and allow your mind to be calm and to feel God in your life. 🙂 Don’t let other things stop you from doing something great for yourself, all you have to do is just show up and I’ll take care of the rest. 🙂 & if your heart tells you to invite others whom God has put in your heart that may need the class, please bring them with you so that we can all come together and benefit from this class that will leave us all feeling AMAZING! Peaceful & ready to do our best and to TRUST GOD for the rest of the week! ?? Make it happen for yourself and feel the difference when you need it the most!!! ?

Hope to see you there! 🙂 Have a blessed and wonderful day! ?

Love always, 

Lilli ?
