You Are Enough ♥️

At some point in life, we all face feelings of inadequacy. Maybe you feel like you’re not measuring up as a parent, spouse, student, or disciple of Christ. You might compare yourself to others and feel like you fall short. These feelings can be overwhelming, but the truth is—you are enough, just as you are, because you are a child of God.

Part of our journey on this earth is to recognize where these feelings come from and to learn how to overcome them.

Feelings of not being good enough often stem from unrealistic expectations, comparison, or fear of failure. The adversary wants you to believe that you are not worthy, that you will never be enough, and that your efforts don’t matter. But Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ see you differently. They see your potential, your goodness, and your efforts, even when you don’t.

So, take a moment to take some deep breath and remind yourself that you’re doing better than you think. Try to remind yourself of your blessings and that God loves you and will always be here for you.

President Russell M. Nelson has taught:

“You are a son or daughter of God. He is your Heavenly Father. He loves you. He and His Son, Jesus Christ, have a plan for you. They will do everything within Their power that you will let Them do to help you.”

Your worth is not dependent on your accomplishments, talents, or what the world says about you. Your worth is inherent because you are a child of God. He loves you unconditionally, and nothing can change that.

We can also remind ourselves that we can rely on Christ’s Grace.

Sometimes we feel like we have to be perfect to be accepted by God. But perfection isn’t the requirement—progress is. The Savior’s Atonement is there to lift you, strengthen you, and help you grow. In 2 Corinthians 12:9, the Lord reminds us:

“My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.”

You don’t have to do it all on your own. Christ fills in the gaps. He strengthens your weaknesses and makes you more than you could ever be on your own.

Here are some ways to overcome feelings of not being good enough:

1. Pray for Help – Pour out your heart to Heavenly Father. He understands your struggles and wants to help you see yourself as He does.

2. Stop Comparing – Social media and the world often show only the highlight reels of others’ lives. Focus on your journey and the progress you are making.

3. Focus on What You Can Do – Instead of dwelling on what you lack, recognize what you do well. Celebrate your strengths and accomplishments, no matter how small.

4. Serve Others – Sometimes, the best way to overcome negative feelings about yourself is to lift someone else. Service helps us feel God’s love and reminds us that we have value.

5. Fill Your Mind with Truth – Read the scriptures, listen to uplifting talks, and surround yourself with positive influences that remind you of your divine worth.

6. Be Patient with Yourself – Growth takes time. Heavenly Father doesn’t expect perfection overnight. Give yourself grace, just as He does.

Remember That God Sees You Differently Than You See Yourself

One of the most beautiful examples of this is found in the story of Gideon in the Old Testament. Gideon saw himself as weak and incapable, but when the angel of the Lord appeared to him, he called him a “mighty man of valor” (Judges 6:12). God saw who he could become, not just who he was at that moment.

The same is true for you. You are not defined by your doubts, fears, or past mistakes. You are defined by your divine potential and the love God has for you.

You Are Enough, Because You Are His. ❤️

If you’re struggling with feelings of inadequacy, remember this: You are doing better than you think you are. Your efforts matter. You are loved beyond measure. And with Christ, you are always enough.

Whenever you feel like you’re not measuring up, turn to Him. He will remind you of your worth, strengthen your heart, and help you see yourself the way He sees you. Keep going—He is with you every step of the way.

“Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.” (Isaiah 43:1)

This week the goal is to be kind and loving to ourselves. Talk to yourself as you would talk to your friend or someone you love. Stop talking to yourself negatively and instead remind yourself of the love that God has for you. Your blessings and of your divine worth which you brought with you from Heaven and will remain with you FOREVER.

Hope to see you in class tonight at 7pm to strengthen yourself physically, mentally and spiritually 🥰❤️

An Attitude Of Gratitude 💖

Gratitude is one of the most overlooked tools that we all have access to every day. Cultivating gratitude doesn’t cost any money and it certainly doesn’t take much time, but the benefits are enormous.

Did you know that just by being grateful you can shield yourself from negativity? One study shows that being grateful can instantly make you at least 25% happier, it rewires your brain, eliminates stress, strengthens your relationship with yourself and others and it increases your mental strength. 

Not only that, but God wants to remind you that He wants you to focus on gratitude instead of focusing on the things that don’t seem to be working right in your life. He has promised us this; “And he who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious; and the things of this earth shall be added unto him, even an hundred fold, yea, more.” (D&C 78:19) How amazing that God has promised us that as we focus on gratitude, He will bless us with even more than what we have now.

The more we’re able to practice gratitude the more we will invite joy into our lives. Practicing gratitude is the part that will really change our lives. So, how can you make this a part of your daily life? You can start first thing in the morning by thanking God for a new opportunity of having a new day, for your gifts and blessings. You can also have a gratitude journal to help you notice the daily blessings. Throughout the day you can have moments to just breathe and be in that feeling of gratitude. Or you can make it a point during your family dinner to say one thing you’re each thankful for. All of these things will invite joy into your life and the life of your loved ones and it will also add the physical and spiritual benefits of being grateful.

So, If you’ve been feeling stressed and overwhelmed please take a moment to stop what you’re doing, to have a second to just close our eyes and to take a few deep breaths….Just taking a moment to be thankful for this simple ability to take in a breath is all you need to focus on. With each breath that comes into our body we can experience deeper and deeper feelings of gratitude for all that we have and for all that we’ve received from God. We can allow those breaths to strengthen us and to renew and energize our body, our mind and our spirit. Remember, focus on your blessings. You’re in charge of controlling how you feel and what to focus on. Let it be for your benefit and for your inner peace. 

The goal for this week is to be thankful DAILY ☀️When you start feeling stressed take a moment to count your blessings instead. Think about the simple gift of life. The way your body functions, the fact that you’re able to be on this earth today, that you can breathe, be here and present with everything that surrounds you. The more that you focus on those things the more you’ll bring peace into each moment. The more stress will disappear and you’ll be able to feel peaceful, joyful and instead focused on the abundant blessings that God has given you.

St. John 14: 18 says
I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
One of the ways in which we can feel the comfort of God is by expressing gratitude to Him and by being willing to trust in the promise that He will never leave us comfortless. Gratitude will allow us to open our eyes to see more of the blessings that God has given us and in return It will allow us to strengthen our relationship with Him. To trust Him more and to believe in His will and goodness for our lives. 

This will allow us to stop fearing and instead have more faith in Him and in ourselves. Once we’re able to do that, we can then help Him to reach out to others in gratitude to testify of His goodness and to be a light and a blessing to those around us. We have to CHOOSE to live from a place of gratitude. This power is truly renewing and it will affect so many areas of our life.

The benefits of gratitude not only bring health and mental strength into our lives. It also adds confidence in God and in ourselves that will allow us to have a way more joyful, enjoyable and peaceful life. We will be better able to help ourselves and others on our journey, and it will remind us daily of the love of God. The choice is yours, let gratitude be your blessing today. 

Unfortunately CLASS IS CANCELLED TONIGHT. But we will resume again next week. 🙂 I hope that you can still make time to take care of your body, mind and spirit this week 🫶🏼

Our spiritual goal for this week is to keep a gratitude journal or to express our gratitude daily and see how we feel after doing that for one week. 

Our physical goal is to cut out the sugary drinks and sugary snacks. At least for one week try drinking more water and lowering the sugar intake and see how you feel. It may be hard at first, but proving to yourself that you can keep this promise to yourself will lift your self esteem and remind you that you can make better changes for your health.

TODAY, FOCUS ON THE THINGS THAT MATTER MOST, BE GRATEFUL AND TAKE IT ONE MOMENT AT A TIME. ONE CHOICE AT A TIME, ONE DAY AT A TIME. HAVING AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE FOR ALL THAT SURROUNDS YOU AND SUPPORTS YOU WILL CHANGE YOUR DAY COMPLETELY. Love you all and don’t forget that you’re amazing, you have divine potential and God loves you. 

Can’t wait to see you in class again soon. 🥹🫶🏼

Love,

Where’s My Focus? 💖

Life isn’t always easy, we all experience difficult circumstances that can sometimes make it harder for us to focus on the good and the joy that we can feel.

This week I went into a store to purchase a couple of things. I wasn’t thinking anything about it, until I met a girl who worked there and was trying to help me. We started talking about makeup, and all of a sudden we ended up talking about life and how things don’t always turn out the way you plan etc. She mentioned that she struggles with comparing herself to other people, and how that makes her feel…I think all of us can relate to that.

We talked about social media and how it can make you feel pretty terrible about yourself. I told her that we all struggle with thoughts like that. We see others lives and think that their lives are so perfect…but we have no idea what kind of struggles those people are facing in their lives too. I told her that God has a perfect plan for her and that she doesn’t need to compare herself to anybody else. Comparison truly steals our joy & it robs us of opportunities to be happy and to feel love for ourselves and others. God definitely doesn’t want us to walk through life feeling like that. 🙁

One of the best things we can do for ourselves is to let go of comparisons. To remind ourselves that we are on our own path. The path that God has created for each one of us individually. His path is a path that allows for Joy to be present even during the challenges we face.

Comparing ourselves to others is one of the quickest ways to drain our joy. It’s easy to look around and feel like other people are doing better, but the truth is: everyone has struggles, even if we don’t see them.

Here’s how to stop the comparison game:

Remind yourself: social media isn’t real life. People share their highlight reels, not their struggles. No one has a perfect life.

Celebrate your own progress. Instead of looking at what others have, focus on how far you have come. What have you learned? How have you grown? That’s what matters.

Replace comparison with inspiration. If someone has something you admire, don’t let it make you feel “less than.” Instead, let it inspire you. If they can do it, so can you—in your own way and timing.

Trust that God has a plan just for you. God created you to have Joy! 2 Nephi 2:25 says: “men are, that they might have joy” Your journey is meant to be different from anyone else’s, and that’s a good thing.

In the ups and downs of life, you can choose to have God by your side and focus instead on inviting the good into your life. On taking ownership of your thoughts and understanding that no matter what circumstances are happening…You can always change your focus and choose to feel Joy instead. Here are a few ideas that can help us to change our focus.

1. Be Present & Find Joy in the Small Moments.

One of the biggest ways to invite more joy into your life is to focus on now. Not the past, not the future—just this moment. Try these simple ways to stay present:

Take deep breaths – When life feels overwhelming, pause and take a few slow breaths. It calms your mind and brings you back to the moment.

Notice the good – Whether it’s a warm cup of tea, a sunrise, a smile from a stranger, or a song you love, joy is often in the little things we overlook.

Keep a gratitude list – Every day, write down three things you’re thankful for. It’s hard to feel joyless when you focus on what’s good.

2. Strengthen Your Mind & Choose Joy

Joy isn’t about never having struggles—it’s about learning how to rise above them. Here are a few ways to strengthen your mindset:

Change your perspective. Instead of thinking, “Why is this happening to me?”, ask, “What can I learn from this?”

Do something kind for someone else. Service is one of the fastest ways to shift your focus and feel joy.

Be kind to yourself. If you wouldn’t say it to a friend, don’t say it to yourself. You deserve encouragement too.

3. Connect with God & Your Higher Self

True joy comes from within and from allowing God to be present in our lives. ❤️

Pray or meditate. Talk to God, or simply sit in silence and connect with your inner peace. Allow yourself to speak to God and Listen to Him speak to your heart, mind and soul. He will let you feel His peace and remind you of how much He loves you.

Remember, you are more than your circumstances. You can say to yourself: “I am a divine soul, not just my body or my role.” This means your worth isn’t based on achievements or what others think—it’s already within you.

Trust in God’s timing. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland said, “Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don’t come until heaven.” Just because something hasn’t happened yet doesn’t mean it won’t.

As we go through life and experience the hills and valleys of life. We also begin to understand what some feelings and thoughts feel right for our soul, and others don’t. We begin to recognize more clearly that we CAN practice changing our focus. Letting go of the negative and focusing instead on the good and the joy that we can experience TODAY. BEING PRESENT, RIGHT HERE & NOW.

Remind yourself that no matter what you’re going through, you can find joy. It’s in the little moments, in being kind to yourself, and in trusting that your path is unfolding exactly as it should. In trusting God for His provision of health, strength, encouragement and love for you. Remember that you’re divinely created. God has a perfect path for you. It is your own unique journey. Trust in God, trust in yourself and in your ability to focus on the joy that you deserve and that is yours to claim.

Our focus for this week and to choose joy. Choose joy in each task that you do. Find the joy in it. Practice letting go of what doesn’t serve you and allow God to fill your heart, mind and soul from one hour to the next with his peace, love and joy.

Finally, in your heart say to yourself: “I open my heart to the possibility of joy flowing in my life. I am grateful for the gifts of today. I trust that my benevolent Father has a divine plan for my highest good. I trust in Him and in myself. I choose Joy one moment at a time” 💛🥰

Hope that you can make it to class tonight at 7pm. We will focus on releasing stress and also on allowing ourselves to focus on being joyful and grateful for all that we have and are able to do. Remember that you are your own best cheerleader and that the motivation to get yourself to class has to come from YOU! So, do this for yourself and feel the difference. You’ll leave feeling renewed and amazing! ❤️ Hope to see you there! ❤️

Love,

Feeling Overwhelmed? 💖

I love to spend time daily outside meditating. Even if it’s for just a few minutes, I need to slow my mind and re-focus. Sometimes those are the best moments when I can feel God speak to my heart and mind. & I truly treasure those moments of inspiration. I felt something come to me as I thought about the feeling of overwhelm and I wanted to share it with you.

As I prayed and asked God about how to overcome the feelings of overwhelm, I felt this incredible peace from the Lord letting me know that the feeling of overwhelm is closely related to fear. & fear isn’t a feeling that comes from God. The feeling of overwhelm is related to stress, comparison and at the core of it, fear. It can be a fear of not knowing what’s gonna happen? The fear of not being able to accomplish all the things, maybe fear of what the world would think, the opinions of others or the fear of feeling less than. Fear and overwhelm are closely connected. I never thought of that! God does want to communicate with us when we truly seek Him. He does answer our prayers when we come to Him.

One of the main things that I felt is that the feeling overwhelmed, is not a feeling that comes from God. We must recognize that the Lord doesn’t speak to us like that. Those feelings of overwhelm come from what we allow our minds to “chatter or yell” at us about. Our minds are so powerful. They can throw all kinds of thoughts at us, but it’s up to us to learn to practice checking our thoughts often. To be able to see them from a distance, to recognize what the thoughts are telling us. And most importantly, to have the strength to help ourselves move past the negative thoughts, into a thought that is more helpful and that aligns with God.

Some of the things we can ask ourselves are.

▫️Do these thoughts feel true to me?

▫️Are they really true?

▫️How do I feel when I think these thoughts

▫️Do I feel better or worse when I think these thoughts?

▫️Can I resolve this problem?

▫️Is this something I can control?

▫️Would God speak to me this way?

▫️Do these thoughts align with the words of God and what He would tell me about myself and my life?

Truly reflecting on our thoughts and our “overwhelm” can help us to recognize that those thoughts and feelings are not what God would tell us. It’s not the way He would speak to us at all!

We can definitely take time to try to solve a problem, to find a solution to what we’re experiencing. But sometimes we can’t find a solution, and all we feel is all kinds of thoughts piling up on us. It’s during these moments when we need to recognize what’s going on, to be aware of our thoughts and just take a moment to stop. 🛑 Breathe, silence and purposefully calm our minds and take a moment to be with God. We can step out in nature or do whatever is necessary for us to have a moment to re-charge ourselves. To try to listen to what our Father in Heaven and Savior would tell us.

Turning our focus away from our problems or negative emotions will allow us to process our emotions in the way that God would want us to. Which is by TRUSTING HIM AND LETTING HIM TAKE THESE THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS FROM US. Truly handing it to Him and being willing to follow the inspiration that He speaks to our hearts and minds about what He would want us to do.

Our Father in Heaven & Jesus Christ want us to trust him instead of feeling overwhelmed.

I can’t imagine Jesus walking around the earth feeling stressed and overwhelmed. Instead I can imagine Him feeling centered, peaceful, focused and most importantly trusting and knowing that each hour is spent according to inspiration that the Father would want Him to have. Christ trusted in the Father. So, we should try each hour and each day to trust in Christ and in the Father as well. They both LOVE US! That’s why the Savior gave His life for us! ❤️ They want us to overcome evil with good! To be able to notice how our thoughts can be negative and how the enemy temps us to feel terrible like himself. The more we allow the heavy, negative thoughts, the more we will experience negative self talk. We then begin to project that on ourselves and we instead begin to carry more feelings of overwhelm, frustration, anger, anxiety, impatience, stress, and all of those negative thoughts take control over us. ALL OF THOSE ARE FEELINGS THAT ARE NOT OF GOD. Why would we want to carry that or hold on to that?!?? 🙁

That is why it’s so important for us to check our thoughts. To recognize them and to practice bringing those thoughts to Cheist our Savior and ask Him to help us change them. 💛 In class we practice calming our mind each week. We practice checking our thoughts and then turning them to God. Why? Because it’s only by practicing that we get better at it. It’s like exercise for our mind 💪🏼💖 The more that we practice, the better we will be able to handle the negative thoughts that try to take over our minds and hearts.

Instead we want to be able to get to a point where we remind ourselves of the type of God that we serve. Of the type of God that we know. To remind ourselves of ALL OF THE TIMES WHERE WE HAVE SEEN HIS HAND IN OUR LIVES. & to trust Him for what He can teach us during the difficult times as well as to trust that He will provide abundantly as we turn to look to Him.

Focusing on Christ is the key. This is the scripture that came to my heart when I was thinking about this. “LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED OR “OVERWHELMED” NEITHER LET IT BE AFRAID.” He also tells us in D&C6:36 “Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not.” & Romans 12:2 He tells us, Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will.

He will guide us on what to do with each hour. He will inspire us to focus on what we can control. On knowing that we can do and overcome all things through Christ who strengthens us. And He will help us to set good goals for ourselves that will allow us to overcome whatever may try to come take over our mind or steal our peace.

As we take time daily to stop and quiet our minds, we will be better able to recognize the thoughts that are coming. Sometimes we can even write them down our thoughts to check and see how true they really sound once they’re written down. Being able to check our thoughts is something that God wants us to learn while we’re on this earth. To recognize the thoughts that come from God vs the ones that don’t. OUR DIVINE SPIRIT CAN GUIDE OUR MIND TO DIVINE THINKING. So, it’s up to us to stop, breathe, spend some quiet time alone and turn our thoughts to God and allow Him to bring us the peace that we need.

Remember to let go of overwhelm or whatever thoughts are disrupting your peace. Take a minute for yourself. Breathe through your thoughts overwhelm, fear or whatever is going on that doesn’t feel good and invite God to bring you His peace and a feeling of calm to allow you to feel His light and His love to cover you completely. Trust in your ability to turn away from the thoughts that don’t help you to instead turn then into thoughts that God would want you to have. 💪🏼🥰 Be more present, live in the moment. Focus on today! Speak good thoughts to your mind. Give yourself words of affirmations and words to remind such as “ I AM A CHILD OF GOD. MY LIFE AND ALL THAT EXISTS IS IN HIS HANDS. I TRUST HIM. I LOVE HIM & I TRUST IN MY DIVINE POTENTIAL AND MY ABILITY TO FOCUS MY MIND ON YHE THINGS OF GOD. HIS WAYS ARE HIGHER THAN MY WAYS. HE HAS A PERFECT PLAN FOR ME & I HAVE FAITH IN MY LOVING GOD WHO WILL PROVIDE HIS ABUNDANCE OF LOVE, PEACE AND COMFORT IN MY LIFE. I BELIEVE IN CHRIST AND I CAN DO ALL THINGS IN CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME”.

Hope that you can join us tonight to release stress, to do something amazing for our physical body and also to allow yourself to let go of the negative thoughts and fill your mind with peace and the love of God. The exercises will strengthen our body and the meditation will strengthen and calm our mind and soul. Hope to see you there so that you can strengthen yourself physically, mentally and spirituality. 💪🏼😌💖

Trust In God & In His Promises 💖

In a world full of uncertainty and challenges, developing trust in God is essential to finding peace, purpose, and direction in life. Trusting in God means having faith in His wisdom, love, and ability to guide us through every aspect of our lives. This trust requires more than just believing in His existence. It’s a confident expectation that He will fulfill His promises to us as we strive to live according to His will.

Trusting in God is not just about passive belief, but purposefully relying on His timing, wisdom, and love. It means that we turn to Him in all aspects of our lives, whether in times of joy or trial. As Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us to: “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy always acknowledge Him, and he shall direct thy paths.”

This passage teaches us that when we place our trust in God, we let go of the need to control everything in our lives. Instead of relying solely on our limited understanding, we turn to the Lord, trusting that He sees the bigger picture and knows what is best for us. Trusting God also requires patience, understanding that His timing may not always align with ours, but that His timing is actually always perfect.

Take a moment to think about the ways in which you are building and strengthening your trust in God. 💛

Building trust in God is a daily process that requires faith, effort, and consistency. There are things that can help us build and strengthen our trust in him. For example: We can choose to pray with real intent. I love finding a quiet place if posible in nature for me to speak to my Father in Heaven. I need that time alone to align my thoughts and my soul and to be ready to Hear Him speak to me too. Prayer is our direct line of communication with God. When we pray sincerely, seeking His guidance, when we show Him that we are willing to listen, we invite his presence into our lives.

Can you imagine God seeing His precious daughter humbly praying and asking Him for help? The God that we love and serve is a God who is filled with compassion. He rejoices when we come to Him, and He wants us to know that we are never alone. That He does hear us and He wants us to feel His love and peace as we pray. S, we can purposefully try to remember daily, that every time we pray, we invite His presence to be with us . We can trust and believe that He will make Himself manifest unto us through His spirit so that we may feel His love, His guiding peace and the light that He can provide for our daily lives. ☀️

Another important way to build trust in God, is for us to study His words. The Scriptures have so many examples and stories of how God has delivered, protected and blessed His people. As we learned from the words of God, those words also testify to us and teach us that God is always faithful to those who trust Him.

One of the things that we learn from reading the words of God, is that He has asked us to keep His commandments. He’s done this because He loves us and knows that as we choose to follow and keep His commandments this will bring blessings into our lives. To me obedient means that we’re submissive, malleable, meek and willing to be taught and shaped into who our Father in Heaven would like us to become. Obedience to God (who knows it all) is truly beautiful and rewarding. It brings a peace that will be eternal. There’s no one better in this world to obey, than to obey God. Our loving Father and creator. ❤️

Obedience to God’s commandments is one of the clearest ways for us to show our trust in Him. As we follow His guidance, and live according to his standards, we invite blessings into our lives. We may not always see the immediate fruits of our obedience, but trusting that God‘s ways are higher than ours, will lead us to eternal blessings.

As our trust in God grows, we begin to exercise better faith in our trials. Trusting God doesn’t mean that life will be free of challenges. In fact, trials are often the very means by which our trust in God is tested and strengthened. President Thomas S. Monson once said “Trust in the Lord with all your heart. He will do for you what no other power can. He will extend His arms of mercy toward you, to lift you up, and to carry you when you need His support.” When we face difficulties with faith, trusting that God has a purpose in our suffering, we can find comfort and peace, knowing that He is shaping us into who we are meant to become.

And what about what God will do for us as we trust Him?

God has made so many beautiful promises to those who trust in Him. While we may not always see the results of our faith immediately, we are assured that God will always bless us according to His will and timing. Some of these blessings can be:

💖 Having Peace Amidst Adversity:

Trusting in God, doesn’t eliminate challenges, but it does bring an inner peace that sustains us through them. The savior promised, “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). This peace comes from knowing that God is in control, even when life feels uncertain.

💖 Another blessing is; Receiving Guidance & Direction: When we trust in God, we can know for sure that He will lead us on the path that is right for us. Whether through promptings of the spirit, the council of leaders or the impressions we receive as we study the scriptures, God will direct our steps as we seek His will.

💖 God promises to give us the strength to overcome: Trusting in God gives us the strength to phase our challenges with courage and faith. As we rely on His power, we are promised that we can overcome ALL things. As Paul wrote, “I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me” (Philippians 4:13)

And finally, God promises us His eternal reward. God‘s greatest promise to those who trust in Him, is eternal life. As we remain faithful and trust in His plan throughout our lives, we are promised the opportunity to return to live with Him and our families for eternity. This eternal perspective is one too the things that can help us endure the trials of life with patience and hope. 🫶🏼

It’s better to trust God than to trust anything or anyone else on this earth. Regardless of your challenges and circumstances that you may be facing today, just turn it all over to God. Trust in Him. Trusting in God is not a one-time decision but a lifelong journey of faith. It involves continually and DAILY turning our hearts and minds toward Him, especially when we face uncertainties or challenges.

As we develop this trust, we will find peace, guidance, and strength, knowing that God loves us and will fulfill His promises to us. So, today I want to encourage you and invite you to build a stronger relationship with your loving creator. Strengthen your relationship with Him through the power of prayer, remember that the enemy never wants you to pray. He never wants you to discover what you can accomplish with God. So, make it your priority to PRAY MORE! To let God know everything that is in your heart and mind and be willing to listen and ACT upon what God places in your heart. Read from His words daily, study, and obey His commandments in Joy.

This will allow us to be strong spiritually, mentally and physically ❤️ God will bless us in every aspect of our lives as we strive to follow Him and TRUST IN HIM. We can develop the deep trust that allows us to say, “Not mine, but thy will be done,”

God’s plan for us is far greater than anything we could plan for ourselves. Let’s TRUST HIM, LOVE HIM AND DO OUR BEST. ❤️

If you need to let go of stress, worries or anxieties I invite you to give yourself one hour today to come to class. I promise that you will be able to release stress and tension and you will leave feeling peaceful and renewed. I hope that you can make it tonight at 7 PM, and invite others to benefit as well. 💖

Love,

Faith Over Fear

Life is unpredictable. No matter how hard we try to plan and prepare, challenges arise that test our faith and fill us with fear and stress. We worry about the future, our families, our responsibilities, and the unknown. These burdens can feel overwhelming, making peace seem out of reach.

But the Savior invites us to take a different path. He pleads with us:

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)

This is not just a comforting phrase—it’s a promise. Christ will give us rest if we choose to trust Him. That doesn’t mean our trials will disappear overnight, but it does mean that we don’t have to carry them alone.

When Peter walked on water toward Jesus, he did something incredible. But the moment he took his eyes off the Savior and focused on the storm, he began to sink (Matthew 14:28–31). The same thing happens to us. If we focus on our fears, we will feel like we’re drowning in stress. But if we fix our gaze on Christ, we will find the strength to move forward. We are capable of shifting our focus to Christ no matter what we’re going through. It requires strength but we can choose faith over fear and feel the difference.

So how can we practice and strengthen our mind and soul to choose faith rather than fear?

1. Pray with Real Intent; Instead of letting fear dominate our thoughts, we can pour our hearts out to the Lord. He knows our struggles and stands ready to help us. When we replace anxious thoughts with heartfelt prayers, we invite peace into our lives.

2. Fill Your Mind with His Word; Fear thrives in the absence of faith. Immersing ourselves in the scriptures, in the words of God builds spiritual confidence and pushes out doubt. When we read about God’s faithfulness to His children, we remember that He will also be faithful to us.

3. Turn Worry into Worship; Rather than dwelling on what we can’t control, we can focus on what we can—serving others, expressing gratitude, and deepening our relationship with Christ. When we choose to worship instead of worry, our perspective shifts from fear to trust.

4. Trust the Lord’s Timing; Fear often comes when we don’t see immediate solutions. But faith reminds us that God is never late. He is working in our lives, even when we don’t see it. Trusting His timing allows us to let go of stress and lean into His plan.

5. Take Action in Faith; Recognize that FEAR PARALYZES AND FAITH EMPOWERS. When we act in faith- whether by making a difficult decision, stepping outside our comfort zones, or simply choosing to believe that God is with us—we prove that we trust Him. And He always blesses those who move forward in faith.

The Promise of Peace. Don’t we all want and need a little more peace in our lives?

Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace. When we turn to Him, He replaces our fear with faith and our stress with serenity. As we let go of our burdens and trust in Him, we will find the rest He has promised.

So today, whatever is weighing on your heart, take it to the Savior. Lay it at His feet. Allow yourself to be empowered by your faith in Christ instead of being paralyzed by fear which is what the enemy wants. Allow yourself to be the PROTECTOR of your mind. Choose thoughts that uplift you and help you. Be kind to yourself and others. Focus on the good, on your blessings, and take a moment to breathe and be present. Most importantly, remember that God loves you, and He will guide you through and be by your side to help you one day at a time.

Trust Him when He says “Be still, and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10)

Let go. Trust Him. And find peace.

Tonight in class we will focus on letting go of fear, insecurities and negativity and focusing instead on bringing in more faith,better thoughts and more peace to be with us. This is our goal for the week. Faith over fear.

I pray that this message helps you to gain strength and to renew your mind. Love you all and hope to see you tonight at 7pm! 🙂

Love,

Elevate Your Thoughts

In our fast-paced world, it’s easy for our minds to be filled with distractions, negativity, and even self-doubt. The Prophet Isaiah taught, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord” (Isaiah 55:8). This verse invites us to elevate our thoughts—to seek a higher, more divine perspective in all that we do. It’s always easier to let our thoughts come and go. But when we can practice recognizing and changing our thoughts for the better. This will change our lives! God wants us to be the masters of our minds and learn to elevate our thoughts.

The scriptures repeatedly emphasize the importance of our thoughts and the power of our minds. King Benjamin taught, “Watch yourselves, and your thoughts, and your words, and your deeds” (Mosiah 4:30). Our thoughts shape our actions, our attitudes, and ultimately, our spiritual well-being. When we let our minds dwell on things that are virtuous, lovely, and praiseworthy (Philippians 4:8), we align ourselves more closely with the Spirit of the Lord.

So, what are some of the ways that we can elevate our thoughts?

1. Immerse Ourselves in the Scriptures

The words of Christ have the power to cleanse and uplift our minds. As we study the scriptures daily, we invite light and truth into our hearts, replacing fear and negativity with faith and understanding. How amazing for us to be able to recognize that each one of us has the power to replace the negativity with faith and love toward God instead.

2. Pray For a Renewed Mind.

Have you ever thought about asking God to help you change your thoughts? To help you renew your mind? The Apostle Paul encouraged us to be “transformed by the renewing of [our] mind” (Romans 12:2). Prayer is a powerful tool in this process. When we sincerely ask for help in thinking more righteously, the Lord strengthens us to see ourselves and others as He does. We will also see that when we ask God to help us with our thoughts that little prayer in our heart will allow us to be more aware of the thoughts that are coming from the energy vs the thoughts that come from God. He wants to bless our minds to be aligned, anchored and renewed by our Savior Jesus Christ.

3. Guard What We Consume

What we watch, read, and listen to greatly influences our thoughts. If we want to elevate our minds, we should be mindful of what we allow into our hearts. Uplifting music, wholesome entertainment, and positive conversations can help us maintain a spirit of peace.

4. Serve Others with Love

Christlike service shifts our focus from selfish concerns to the needs of others. As we follow the Savior’s example and love our neighbors, our thoughts become more centered on kindness, gratitude, and humility. Service helps us to heal and allows us to be more connected to our creator who is loving, kind and compassionate with all of us.

5. Seek to Have The Spirit & To Be in Holy Places

Our Home can be a holy place, being in nature can be a holy place, attending church of a Temple can also allow our minds and hearts to be lifted toward God. Creating places of peace for ourselves can allow our minds to think “eternal” and encourage us to live a life that is more aligned with God and what He has for our lives.

In addition to spiritual practices, there are also mindfulness techniques that can help us to elevate our thoughts. These are a few techniques can help us become more aware of our thoughts and guide them toward positivity and faith. Here are a few ways to practice mindfulness.

1. Centering Prayer and Breathwork

Take a few moments each day to sit in stillness, focus on your breathing, and silently repeat a scripture or phrase like, “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). This helps calm the mind and create space for inspiration from the Spirit.

2. Thought Awareness and Reframing

Throughout the day, pay attention to your thoughts. When you notice negativity, doubt, or fear creeping in, gently reframe your thinking. For example, replace “I’m not good enough” with “I am a child of God, and He is helping me grow.”

3. Gratitude Journaling

Writing down three things you’re grateful for each day shifts your focus from what’s wrong to what’s right. Gratitude invites more joy and helps us recognize God’s hand in our lives.

4. Mindful Scripture Study

Instead of rushing through scripture reading, slow down. Read a verse or two, pause, and ask, “What does this mean for me today?” Let the words sink into your heart and ponder their personal application.

5. Nature Walks with Purpose

Take a walk outside and intentionally notice God’s creations—the colors of the sky, the feeling of the wind, the sounds of birds. As you do this, offer silent prayers of gratitude, allowing the beauty of the earth to uplift your spirit.

I pray that this message will allow you to check your thoughts. The more aware we are of our thoughts the more we will recognize that there are hidden blessings in having higher thoughts.

When we consciously choose to elevate our thoughts, we invite more joy, clarity, and peace into our lives. President Russell M. Nelson has said, “When you reach up for the Lord’s power in your life with the same intensity that a drowning person has when grasping and gasping for air, power from Jesus Christ will be yours.”

As we strive to elevate our thoughts, we come closer to the Savior. Our faith grows, our burdens feel lighter, and we experience a greater measure of His love and guidance.

Let us make a daily effort to think higher, to align our minds with God’s, and to let our thoughts reflect the light of Christ.

Tonight in class we will not only get rid of stress and allow our bodies to become stronger and healthier. But we will also take a moment to slow down our thinking, renew and strengthen our thoughts to be more aligned and anchored in Christ. I promise that after coming to this class, you’ll feel AMAZING Physically, Mentally and Spiritually. Love you all and hope to see you tonight at 7pm. ❤️🥰

Thy Will Be Done ❤️

I recently read this quote that I loved and I wanted to share it with you. It says: “The submission of one’s will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God’s altar. The many other things we ‘give,’ … are actually the things He has already given or loaned to us. However, when you and I finally submit ourselves, by letting our individual wills be swallowed up in God’s will, then we are really giving something to Him! It is the only possession which is truly ours to give!” (Elder Neal A. Maxwell)

I’ve been thinking about how we can reach a higher level of aligning our will to Gods, and this quote really struck me. It’s so true that everything that we have comes from God…The one and only thing that we can willingly offer or give to God is our will. ❤️ & even though that seems hard to do, because we don’t want to let go of the control of our things. We have to recognize that at some point or another in our lives we are faced with opportunities or challenges that teach us to practice what it means to let go of our will and bring it into alignment or submission to Gods.

Jesus Christ is the perfect example of submitting to the Father’s will. His entire mortal ministry—from His baptism to His suffering in Gethsemane and ultimate sacrifice on the cross—was a testimony of complete obedience, humility, and trust in the Father’s plan. By studying how He aligned His will with God’s, we can learn to do the same in our own lives.

One of the ways we can learn about this, is by the example of how JESUS FOLLOWED THE FATHER’S WILL.

1. He Sought the Father’s Will in All Things.
Jesus never acted alone. He constantly sought His Father’s direction. He declared, “For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me” (John 6:38). His mission was not about personal gain or comfort but about fulfilling God’s divine plan. I believe that we can try to follow Christs example by going to our Father in Heaven more often in prayer and seeking for His direction. That we may trust in Him in ALL THINGS just as Christ did.

2. He Prayed with Sincerity and Submission
In the Garden of Gethsemane, Christ demonstrated the deepest form of submission when He prayed, “Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done” (Luke 22:42). Even when faced with unimaginable suffering, He chose to trust the Father’s wisdom over His own desires.

3. He Acted with Faith, Even When It Was Hard
Jesus didn’t just acknowledge the Father’s will, He acted on it. He healed, taught, served, and ultimately gave His life, knowing that the Father’s plan was perfect. His willingness to endure all things, including rejection, pain, and death, was rooted in His absolute trust in God’s purpose.

4. He Found Strength Through the Spirit
The Savior was never alone in His obedience. He was strengthened by the power of the Holy Ghost. “And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him” (Luke 22:43). Just as He received divine help, we too can be strengthened when we seek to do God’s will.

So, how can we follow the Father’s will?

1. Seek Revelation Daily
Just as Jesus turned to the Father in prayer, we must also seek God’s will through sincere communication. Regular, heartfelt prayer invites personal revelation, and studying the scriptures helps us recognize His voice.

2. Be Willing to Submit, Even When It’s Hard
Sometimes, God’s plan may differ from our own. Like Christ, we must be willing to say, “Not my will, but thine, be done.” This requires humility, faith, and trust that God knows what is best for us.

3. Act on What You Receive
Faith is not just believing…It’s acting. When we receive promptings, follow them, even if they are difficult or unclear. As we move forward with faith, the Lord will guide our steps.

4. Rely on the Strength of the Atonement
Jesus Christ not only set the example…He also made it possible for us to succeed. When we struggle to follow God’s will, we can turn to the enabling power of the Atonement. Through Christ, we can overcome fear, doubt, and weakness, allowing us to press forward with confidence.

When we choose to follow the Father’s will, we find true peace, joy, and purpose. The world may not always understand our choices, and trials may still come, but as we align our will with God’s, we will feel His love and direction in ways we never imagined.

Just as Christ trusted the Father’s plan and was exalted in glory, we too can receive all that the Father has as we faithfully follow Him. As President Russell M. Nelson has taught, “When you know your divine identity and purpose, your life takes on new meaning.”

As we choose give to God the one and only thing that we can truly give to Him, our will. We will see that we will be blessed for placing our trust in our creator and in our Savior! He is our exemplar, the Savior will be ready to help us in our journey of letting go of our “natural man” & in the process of giving our will to Gods. As we practice trusting in Him, we will see that its easier to act on the impressions that we feel. We will be able to feel closer to the Lord, trust His plan, and move forward with faith.

Don’t ever forget that you have a loving God ready to help you. He wants you to trust HIM. He will lead you, strengthen you and bless your life in ways you cannot yet see. I pray that you’ll feel this stronger desire in your life to let go and trust in God more. Enough to be able to say “Thy will, not mine be done.”

Hope that you can make it to class tonight to release stress and to help you strengthen your body mind and spirit. Our meditation will be focused on letting go of the things that are heavier and inviting more light, peace and love into our lives. Hope to see you there!! 🥰❤️

Love,

Nourishing The Whole Self 💖

In a world filled with constant demands, fast-paced schedules, and unrelenting challenges, it’s easy to feel stretched thin, pulled in every direction and left wondering how to find balance. Yet, many of us have been blessed to have learned about divine truths that teach us the importance of nurturing not just one aspect of ourselves, but the whole self: body, mind, and spirit.

This holistic approach to self-care is not just a fleeting trend or some nice words to say. It’s actually been taught by God our Father in Heaven and by our Savior Jesus Christ. When we learn to care for all three elements of our being, we unlock greater peace, strength, and purpose.

The Body: A Sacred Temple

Our bodies are gifts from a loving Heavenly Father. In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, Paul reminds us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Ghost and that we are “bought with a price.” Recognizing the sacred nature of our physical bodies inspires us to treat them with reverence and care.

This means nourishing our bodies with wholesome food, getting sufficient rest, and finding joy in movement. It also means avoiding substances or practices that harm our physical well-being. As we strive to avoid addictive substances or practices, and as we strive to care for our body, we are better able to align ourselves with God’s design, and we invite greater health and vitality into our lives.

But caring for our bodies goes beyond physical health. It’s about cultivating gratitude for the miracle of life itself. When we honor our bodies, we acknowledge their divine purpose as vessels to carry out God’s work on earth. We can express gratitude for everything that our bodies are able to do for us daily. And we can allow ourselves to walk day to day filled with love and gratitude for the body we are given and the blessing of being able to care for it and love it.

The Mind: A Gateway to Truth

Our minds are incredible gifts. Capable of creativity, reasoning, reflection and growth. In Doctrine and Covenants 93:36 says; “The glory of God is intelligence, or, in other words, light and truth.” Caring for our minds means dedicating ourselves to lifelong learning, filling our thoughts with all that is positive, uplifting and good. And seeking knowledge in both spiritual and temporal matters.

In a world overflowing with information, it’s important for us to be discerning. Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf has taught, “Seek out the majesty, the beauty, and the exhilarating joy of the truths of the gospel. They will lift your spirits and cause your burdens to fade into the background”. We also read in D&C 88:118 Seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom; seek learning, even by study and also by faith.

Developing our minds also includes protecting our mental health. Turning to the Savior in times of stress or discouragement, seeking professional help when needed, and surrounding ourselves with supportive people are all ways to strengthen this powerful and amazing gift of our mind, that God has given us.

The Spirit: Anchored in Christ

At the core of everything is the spirit. The eternal part of us that connects with God. Nurturing our spirits involves daily habits of prayer, scripture study, seeking quiet moments and worship. It’s through these practices that we hear God’s voice and feel His guidance in our lives.

The Savior Himself set the perfect example of spiritual self-care. He often withdrew from the crowds to pray and commune with His Father (Luke 5:16). Likewise, we must prioritize time to be still, reflect, and reconnect with the divine.

President Russell M. Nelson said: “Through daily prayer and feasting upon the words of Christ in the scriptures and the words of living prophets, we can receive the Savior’s guidance and protection”. When we invest in our spiritual well-being, we are strengthened to face life’s challenges with faith and hope.

Striving for Balance

Caring for the body, mind, and spirit is not about perfection but about progress. Some seasons may demand more focus on one area than another, and that’s okay. The key is to strive for balance and listen to the quiet promptings of the Spirit, which often guide us toward what we need most.

When we take the time to nurture ourselves holistically, we become better instruments in the hands of God. We are more prepared to serve, love, and fulfill our divine potential.

Heavenly Father gives us a divine invitation to care for our whole beings. Our own individual body, mind, and spirit working together in harmony. By caring for each part of ourselves, we honor His plan and draw closer to Him. As we seek to nurture our whole selves, let us remember the Savior’s loving invitation:

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).

Through Him, we can find true rest, healing, and joy as we strive to care for the beautiful, divine creations that we are. Let us embrace this journey with faith, knowing that we are never alone. & that God has a beautiful plan and purpose for our lives. He loves us and wants us to love, care and protect our whole self. Recognizing that each day comes with a blessing a gift and an opportunity to care for this body, mind and spirit.

I pray that this message will allow you to feel a little more connected to your divine love of our creator and loving Father in Heaven. That you may have a stronger desire to care for your whole self and that you may be a light to others on their journey of loving and caring for themselves as well.

Tonight in class, we will have an opportunity to strengthen our bodies, release stress, quiet our minds and give our spirit a little time to recharge. I hope that you can join us and that you can leave feeling amazing physically, mentally and Spiritually. Love you all & can’t wait to see you there! 💖

Love,

Be Still 💖

The other day I was rushing through my day, trying to do things as fast as possible. I noticed that it was cloudy and gloomy which is unusual for the Florida sunshine that we’re used to having. But it’s on days like these when I usually feel kinda lazy, bummed and not really wanting to do much. But this specific day I was just going, going going! As fast as I could to try to get things done before appointments and having to leave the house to run errands and stuff.

All of a sudden, while I was running around I saw the sun fully come through the clouds and light up my backyard! ☀️ It was as if the sunshine was calling me, because I felt this voice in my heart telling me to STOP everything I was doing and just step outside to enjoy the sunlight for a few minutes before it went away. I quickly took my AirPods out of my ears and ran outside to just sit in the sun for a moment.

As I was sitting there, I took a moment to just close my eyes, take a few deep breaths, and give myself a moment to say a little prayer and talk to my Father in Heaven for a little while. After I finished my prayer, the sun became even brighter! 🥹 As it shown down on me, I could feel that my heart, mind and spirit were completely covered by my Heavenly Father’s love! ❤️ I felt that He knows me completely and the love that I felt is more than what I can describe.

The answer to my prayers was so beautiful…& even though i’m not sharing all of the details about it…I cried because I heard & felt the voice of my Father in Heaven clearly speak to my mind and heart. It was so beautiful! & I get emotional just thinking about it. There was a moment during that answer that I received when I felt the presence and love from my Grandpa who passed away years ago. I couldn’t believe that God was answering my prayer and that He allowed me to feel the presence of my grandpa, 😭 his immense love for me, for his daughter (my mom) and for my whole family. It was so beautiful! I think that we often forget that our loved ones who are in Heaven are also our angels. & they’re also willing to comfort us when we need it. It was an amazing experience and something that I’ll never be able to forget. 💖 But I still wanted to share it, in case it’s meant to help at least one of you who’s reading this message.

So, when people say, how do you know that God lives or that He really exists?…It’s because of experiences like these that I know that He lives! It’s when I know that I couldn’t possibly make up something like the experience that I had. That the feelings that I experienced, what I heard and saw in my mind and what I felt in my heart, can’t be duplicated. I know that God spoke to me this week and I’m incredibly thankful for that and I know I can’t deny what I felt. It’s just amazing to me. 🥲❤️

These are the moments that are treasured in my heart & that remind me that there’s a loving God who does want to hear from us. He wants to answer our prayers, He wants us to know that He LOVES US. And that He’s there for us ready to give us guidance and wisdom. As long as we’re willing to step away from our distractions and just be in a moment of STILLNESS. To allow ourselves to pour our heart to Him, to seek His light ☀️ and to allowing ourselves to just have a moment listen and wait for Him to speak to us. 🫶🏼

James 1:5-6 says

5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

So, if you feel that you’re lacking wisdom or that you need help with ANYTHING that you may be going through in your life…I invite you to TRUST in Gods promise when He says that if you lack wisdom HE WILL GIVE IT TO YOU! I invite you to set aside all the things for a few minutes and to just give yourself a moment to sit in nature. To speak to God and open your heart to Him. & then, I invite you to just be in stillness and listen. 💖 Focusing all of your heart, mind and energy to just inviting the light of your Father in Heaven and your Savior Jesus Christ to be poured over you. I promise that as you do so, you will feel and know for yourself that God loves you! That He cares about every little thing that’s going on in your life & that YOU ARE IN HIS HANDS.

Speaking to each of us, the Lord says, “Fear … not; … I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; … I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”

I pray that you may experience Gods divine love for yourself! That you may seek the light or the “sunshine” that He can provide especially on the darkest and cloudiest days of your life. I know that He will be there for you. So, make yourself a promise that you will set aside time for stillness in your day, to speak to your loving Father in Heaven in the name of our Savior Jesus Christ. & that you may feel peace in your heart. A peace that is not of this world, but a peace and a love that goes straight into your soul. God wants to speak to you individually. He wants to let you know that He’s there!l. We just have to do our part to come to Him and to experience Him for ourselves.

I love the words of C. S. Lewis when he said: “I pray because I can’t help myself. … I pray because the need flows out of me all the time, waking and sleeping. It doesn’t change God. It changes me.”

I’m so thankful for the experience that I had this week with prayer. It definitely changed me and it continues to transform me to know that God is present in my life. I pray that the power of prayer and stillness will change each one of us individually. ❤️ & I hope that you know that I’m here for you too!! If there’s ever an experience or a struggle that you want to share with me, I’m here hear it and to be with you on this journey. 🥹🫶🏼

Tonight in class we will not only get rid of stress and strengthen our bodies. But we will also make time for stillness and to have a moment to feel closer to God. I invite you to do this for yourself. It will feel amazing and you won’t regret it. 🥹❤️🙏🏼 Love you all and hope to see you tonight at 7pm. 🥰

Love,

Lili 🌸
