Our lives can be either driven by our schedules or by spirit. They can be driven by the constant chatter of our minds or by a place of calm. They can be driven by impulse or by wisdom.
Precious, sacred silence is one of our most essential friends. Our silent time reminds us of who we are and it gives us access to infinite wisdom from which we are guided when making our daily decisions. So why is it so difficult to write it on today’s schedule?
Many of us now have a spiritual practice during which we pray for assistance, read the word of God, meditate, focus on gratitude or find ways to inspire our heart. But as we know, the world pulls ferociously in different directions. It begs us to pay attention, to divide our time, to distract our focus and to be busier than it’s good for the soul.
It takes a mindful effort and awareness to revisit our priorities often, and make the time to connect with spirit. It’s the most important thing we will do in the day. And when we do it first, the rest of the day is driven by moments of intuition gained from connecting mindfully with the source of all love, peace and light.
This is not a duty or an effort. We don’t work to be more spiritually connected; it is who we are. All we have to do is set aside time to check in and to let the noise drop away for long enough to reveal the beauty and calm that resides within us. And if we can just hover there…open… For a moment without jumping in with a thought, within that stillness, is when we’re able to activate our soul’s wisdom.
Having a time during the day to calm the mind and still the soul can be a challenging practice. But that is one of those things that will have lasting consequences in our lives. We deserve to create moments of internal peace for ourselves. Moments to gain higher intuition and guidance. The rewards of doing this for ourselves will reach across all aspects of our being. Every day is a good day to begin learning or to recharge our practice. It’s always better to have progress over perfection.
Our goal for this week is to create more peaceful moments, to quiet our minds, be still and listen. We can ask for inspiration, breathe and take a moment to write down what we feel. As we’re able to keep those notes throughout the week, we will see that God does speak to us. Directly to our heart ♥️ That internal peace is always available to us. Silence and peace can become our new friend. God wants to remind us that we can create moments to be still, to Still our souls and to know that He is God. Invite more of that light and wisdom into your day and you’ll feel the difference.
May we quiet our words, calm our thoughts, soften our hearts and still our souls daily, so that we may listen, be open and receive. And most importantly, let spirit lead.
Hope that you can make it to class tonight at 7PM to give yourself the gift of strengthening your Body Mind and Spirit. Come release stress and negativity & allow yourself recharge and renew. You’ll feel amazing, you’ll be proud of yourself and you won’t regret it.
Unfortunately Class will be Cancelled for the next 6 weeks. But we will return to I person class in March. For now, do your best to take care of your body, mind and spirit. Remember that God loves you, He wants to hear from you! So, notice His hand in your life and thank Him for your many blessings. He will guide you on what to focus on each hour of your day. & don’t forget that you can do all things the Christ who strengthens you.
I recently remembered an experience that I had teaching a group of kids ages 8 to 11. After exercising, we tried to quiet our minds and bodies for a moment. I encouraged them to take a moment to feel gratitude for the body that God has given them. To think about how amazing their bodies are, the way they work and the ability that we have to move, exercise and to even be able to choose what thoughts to have. Our bodies and minds are a blessing that we often take for granted.
During the meditation portion of the class, I asked the kids to close their eyes and FOCUS on allowing their bodies to relax. To just feel their breath & be in a moment of gratitude.
I guided them through a meditation where I asked them to see themselves in the most beautiful and peaceful place they could think of. I encouraged them to focus on visualizing themselves being the in the presence of God. To allow themselves to be open to feeling a hug from Him and to truly try to listen to what God was telling each of them individually.
I then opened my eyes for a moment to check on the kids and noticed that some of the kids were smiling! Others looked focused and peaceful. I was even able to notice a little girl who had tears coming down her face. I realized at that moment that each child in that room who wanted to feel God had an opportunity to personally connect to Him. I realized that if each one of us chooses to connect to God and focuses on that, we can definitely feel Him too! It was a beautiful experience for me to see how God is able to provide what each soul needed at that very moment. The kids were able to connect to Him and to each personally have their own experience with God in that very moment.
I then asked the kids to guard and treasure in their hearts the feelings and the words that were coming to them from God. I know that when we’re truly wanting to feel God and we come to Him with that full purpose and real intent in our hearts, He will make Himself known unto us. He will bring peace to our hearts and let us know He is there.
After the meditation I asked the kids to gently open their eyes. I could feel the peace and light in the room. I asked them what they felt or what they could see, and one little girl smiled and said: “ I CAN STILL SEE JESUS even with my eyes open” I thought wow! Wouldn’t it be amazing if we all could “see” Jesus even with our eyes open?!” Could the focus of this very hour be placed on the Savior? Could we try to see the hand of God in this day? & in this very moment know that He is present in our lives?
I felt at that moment that I want my focus to be placed more on Christ and less on fear, complaining or focusing in the things that are not going right or that we may be lacking etc. I want to focus more on trusting and believing in Him rather than not seeing Him in my day to day life.
After the activity was over, I gave that same little girl a ride home. As I was driving she pointed out the window and said: “Look at those beautiful red flowers!!! 🌹 Isn’t God amazing? He made them so bright and pretty!”…We talked about how hard it would be to describe that bright color red to someone who is blind?! It was impossible to come up with the right words to describe that color and beauty. We talked about how blessed we are to be able to see the beauty of those flowers and all of the things that God created.
The words form that sweet little girl, have stayed with me ever since I hear them. “I can still see Jesus even with my eyes open!” So now, I’m trying to focus the “lenses of my vision” on noticing God more around me. I’m trying to purposely change my thoughts and to direct them more toward God. To ask Him to help me, guide me and inspire me to see Him and feel Him hour by hour.
I invite anyone who is able to read this message to change your focus and try it out at least for today to see if you feel differently. But to purposefully try to focus more on seeing the hand of God in your life today. To focus on gratitude, Joy and peace rather than focusing on stressing out about all kinds of things that may be going on. Today, I’m choosing to keep my eyes open to Him. To feeling God, being present with Him and allowing Him to light the hours of my day from one moment to the next.
I invite you to choose to focus on seeing God and focusing on giving all things to him. HE IS BIGGER AND GREATER THAN ANY OF YOUR PROBLEMS. HE WILL HELP YOU AND TAKE CARE OF YOU. Allow yourself to be open to feeling him close to you and around you. Trust in the God who is able to remove your burdens, your pain and instead allow yourself to feel the pure love that God has just for you.
I pray that as we practice this goal of changing what we focus on, that we will be able to change how we feel, how we spend our time and the energy that we put into each moment of our day. So, remind yourself today and say to yourself; “God will help me. He is loving, kind and a giver of good gifts. It’s in His nature to want to comfort me and provide for me. So I come to Him with a pure heart and with Faith knowing that He will take care of me moment bu moment. He will show me what to focus on and allow me to see Him even with my eyes open.” 💛
Hope to see tonight at 7:00pm to allow our minds and bodies to release stress and to focus on renewing ourselves mentally, physically and spiritually. Don’t forget that we’re the ones who need to dig deep and find the motivation to do this for ourselves. 💪🏼🥰 Try to remind yourself of the reasons WHY you want to exercise, release stress and calm your mind through prayer and meditation. Just show up and I promise that you’ll leave class feeling way better than before you got there. You’ll go home feeling peaceful, renewed and filled with positive energy.
I hope that you can make it and invite others to benefit as well. ❤️
You’ve got this! God and His divine light are all around you to fill you completely and give you energy and strength. keep going and doing your best. 💪🏼🥰❤️🙏🏼
As this New Year begins we may have all kinds of goals that we set for ourselves. It’s great to set goals but sometimes we want to work on everything all at once and goal setting can also feel overwhelming.
Today I want to remind you of the gift of being here at this very moment. A close friend of mine lost her mom unexpectedly yesterday. 🙁 It’s been heartbreaking for all of us who knew her mom. It’s during moments like this, when we realize that none of us are promised our tomorrow. We really don’t know how long we have here in earth & it’s important to remember that life should truly be lived and enjoyed one day at a time.
I believe that God wants us to be wise in the ways in which we use our time. Setting goals that are important and that align to God is more important than adding all kinds of stress and worries about things we can’t control. So, today, try to take a moment to slow down a little. Focus on the truly important things in your life and be grateful for the day that you have today. For the opportunity to start a New year, for the chance to focus your energy on goals that can lift you to a higher level. Remember that God doesn’t want you to figure everything out or run faster than you have strength. He just wants you to trust Him in your process of becoming one day at a time.
He wants each one of us to know that our life has a purpose. When God created us He had a plan in mind and a mission for each one of us to accomplish. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. God wants us to be hopeful, to trust Him and to do our best to accomplish His plans for us. He’s not asking us to figure everything out right now. Instead, He’s asking us to TRUST HIM and to trust in His plan for our lives.
Think of the ways in which you can trust more in God this year. How will you show Him that you’ll do that for Him? As we purposefully place our trust in Him & come closer to Him, our purpose will become clearer and He will be better able to guide us toward becoming who He desires us to become. ❤️
I promise that if you make it a daily goal to speak to God and seek for His wisdom, the Holy Ghost, who is the comforter, from the presence of God, will come upon you and bring you peace. Which is one of the best ways to feel God in our lives. The comforter will also bring us that assurance that God hears our prayers, is taking care of us and ALL will be ok.
As we choose to act on communicating with God and continue to have faith in God’s power, He will strengthen us individually and give us the daily wisdom for what we should focus our attention on each day. Remember that we can’t just wish for things to happen and that’s it. When we have faith in God we gain a stronger desire to ACT. We become more willing to put in the work necessary toward becoming who we are meant to be.
God said; “Whatsoever thing ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is good, in Faith believing that ye shall receive, behold it shall be done unto you.” (Moroni 7:26)
God is ready to bless us when we have a pure heart. We can seek Him and ask Him, BELIEVING that we will receive. How amazing is that? This is where our faith is tested & where God is able to show Himself in our lives.
Christ said; “If ye will have faith in me ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient in me.” (Moroni 7:33) That promise in His word, reminds us that we will have power through our faith to accomplish the desires of our hearts that align with the desires that God has for us. So, with our Faith in God, we’re better able to see more clearly which goals we should focus on and actually work on accomplishing them.
Having faith also allows us to act as if our goals are on their way. That belief and trust in God and in ourselves that we will make our goals possible with His help, will bring motivation. We can ask for daily wisdom to know what to focus on for this day, and we can move forward toward accomplishing that goal.
Remembering to break down our goals into doable steps and do a little each day until we eventually accomplish the bigger goals we’ve set. The more that we’re able to accomplish the small things the more momentum we will have to accomplish the bigger things. Practice seeing yourself accomplishing your daily goals. Visualize yourself doing it and having divine help as you achieve what is in your heart. Allow yourself to feel yourself getting Healthier, stronger, becoming more peaceful, spiritually aligned to God and accomplishing what He needs you to do on this earth and with the time that we each have here. ❤️
When you have those days when notice yourself comparing where you are to where you want to be, focus on this one question: “What single, small decision can I make right now to move forward in my process of becoming? Write down your thoughts and feelings and be aware of what comes to your mind. That’s one way we can know which action to take.
Also, there may be times when we feel like giving up on our goals because we slipped or made a mistake. But remember to be kind to yourself, Don’t give up. Just take a moment to evaluate what led to the mistake or the negative thought and wether your process should be modified to help prevent it from happening in the future. If you know your goals are worth working toward you will keep trusting and moving forward with faith in God.
Remember that rather than focusing solely on the outcome of the goal, put your energy into the process of becoming. In a process, every moment is important. You can enjoy feelings of small daily successes. You can learn from setbacks, rather than treating them as signs of failure. In a process of becoming you can find joy in each moment, you can be grateful for the opportunity to be a work in progress. You can remind yourself that it’s important to continue to LOVE YOURSELF and strengthen your relationship with yourself DAILY. Don’t forget to be compassionate and speak kindly to yourself. Trust that as long as you are working the process, which is an essential part of exercising faith in God, reaching your goal will be the natural outcome.
So, make it a point today to re-evaluate your goals. Think about what you’re working toward and what God wants you to place as your top priorities. Align yourself to that knowledge and that desire to work toward the things which are important.
Make a plan, start small, visualize and give yourself grace and the motivation that you need to accomplish each thing. If we really want something, we have to work toward it. The difference is that we will trust in God and with His help we can do ALL THINGS! We can even find pleasure and motivation in the work that we do on ourselves and on our daily goals. We can Find joy in this journey and move forward trusting and having faith in God and in yourselves. ❤️
How amazing is it that we can talk to our creator daily. That we can let Him know all that is going on in our heart & mind. How amazing that we can receive wisdom and power from the presence of God to accomplish what need to do for each day.
We don’t need to run faster than we have strength. We don’t need to feel overwhelmed. We can instead focus on asking God what to focus on today and go from there. Accomplishing our priorities and what God has put in our heart that day will bring peace and the assurance that we are truly doing the most important things and God will guide us with the rest. We will know that we are in His hands and all will be ok.
The most Important goal we can accomplish in our lives, is to be able to have a relationship with God. To consider Him our friend. To seek His wisdom and have the ability to Hear Him and do what He asks. The only way to do this is to practice hearing Him daily and then GO & DO.
God will help us achieve our physical, spiritual, emotional or temporal goals. He knows what’s in our hearts and because He loves us and wants the best for us, HE WILL HELP US. TRUST HIM AND TRUST IN YOUR ABILITY TO DO THIS FOR YOURSELF. ❤️
With God all things are possible! You can do it! Count on Him, do your best & go for it. ❤️ HOPE, ACT & BECOME.
Our SPIRITUAL GOAL for the month is to accomplish a few small goals. Set 1 to 2 goals that you feel align with what God would want you to do. Break down the steps and set aside the time daily to act on them. Ask God in Faith to help you & get to work. Continue to give yourself daily grace. You can do it! Plus, God has promised the POWER for you to accomplish it. Stay motivated and make it it happen. ❤️
Our PHYSICAL GOAL for the week is to exercise at least 3 days and to eat as clean as we can. Choose nutrient rich snacks and try to remove the sugary drinks. Try to be conscious of your choices and the different things that are going into your body. Make it easy for yourself by having healthy snacks available so you don’t get super hungry and reach for the bag of chips in the pantry. Make the decision to help yourself. Track it if it helps you and you’ll notice the difference in your mood and energy. Your body will thank you for choosing good food 🙂 ❤️
Unfortunately CLASS IS CANCELLED TONIGHT. I have sick kiddos this week. But we’ll resume again next week. Do your best and focus on the important things today.
I pray that you feel inspired to reach out to God and seek His peace, strength and light today. I know He has helped me with this and I know He will do it for anyone who teaches up to Him.
Love you all and thank you for having a desire to keep God’s light flowing through you. He’s got you & I know you’ll Keep it going! 😉 Trust Him! Share your light with others & DO YOUR BEST ONE DAY AT A TIME. ❤️
This Christmas season is our opportunity to determine what we want to focus on. The world around us places so much pressure on gifts, on having the most perfectly decorated home and on running around and spending money we don’t have.
Oftentimes, we forget that this season brings with it an opportunity to slow down and re-focus our attention on the truly important things. Instead of being so focused on the external or material things that we want to buy etc. We can focus our attention on the importance of acknowledging the gifts that God has given us throughout the year. We can recognize the ways in which we’ve seen His hand in our lives and instead of focusing on receiving, we can turn our attention to giving.
The giving that God wants from us isn’t always materialistic or monetary. This Christmas I invite each one of us to give to God a few gifts from our heart. To turn our attention away from the world and focus on giving God a few gifts from our heart this Christmas.
One of the gifts we can give Him is to be grateful. To vocally express our gratitude to Him for all of the blessings He provides. We can also give God the gift of repentance. Taking an opportunity to ask God to forgive us for the ways in which we have failed or lacked love for ourselves or others.
We can also offer Him charity, by being kind to others and mending relationships with family members or others around us. We can give him our trust, we can give Him our faith. We can give Him our love by loving others and sharing with others in the way that He would want us to.
The Scriptures talk about this and how we can offer some of these gifts to God.
“Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
“When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
“Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
“And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” (Matt.25:37-40)
We can experience Gods love by serving Him and giving to others and also by being humble and willing to receive from others as well.
As we center our attention on truly celebrating the birth of Christ during this Christmas season, the gifts we can offer to God go beyond material possessions. We can present our hearts filled with faith, hope, and love.
Through prayer, we communicate with God, expressing gratitude for the gift of salvation and all that He provides for us daily! Even in this very moment.
Acts of kindness and charity become offerings, reflecting the teachings of Jesus. In our worship, we can offer the gift of time, acknowledging the divine significance of the season.
Let’s let our lives be living testimonies, embodying the values of Christ, as we present ourselves as offerings to God, acknowledging all of the good and the blessings that we have, and all that we’re willing to give to Him during this joyous time of the year.
Acknowledging the gifts that our Father in Heaven has given us and the gift that His son Jesus Christ gave for us when He chose to give His life for you and me, Is truly humbling. Our hearts should be turned to Him. We can choose for ourselves to give to God the gifts of our heart and soul.
Giving purely will fill our souls with more than anything else we may receive. Giving is truly better than receiving. ♥️ So, which gifts would you like to offer to God this week?
I pray that you’ll gain insight from this message and that you’ll be able to feel God’s immense love for you. You are not alone. ♥️ The giver of all good gifts is with you to support you and help you get through anything! Trust Him, believe in Him & try to give Him your best. You’ve got this!
Tonight will be our last class of 2023. Hope that you can make it to release stress, to do something amazing for your body and to enjoy a wonderful meditation that will re-charge you and re-new. I promise, that you’ll leave feeling better than before coming into this class. Let’s end the year the best was we can. 🙂 love you all and see you tonight!!
I want to Invite you right now to slow down for a minute and take a moment to breathe, take a few deeper breaths and to focus on re-charging your energy. Take a moment to notice the Divine light within you. Remember that God doesn’t want you to run faster than you have strength. So, make it a point to slow down a little and notice the divinity within you and around you.
Can you feel that light of God within you today? Can you see the Divine light in the animals, plants and people around you? We all have a soul, a divine inner light that connects us to our creator. We often go through life without thinking about all of the light that actually surrounds us. ☀️ We often close ourselves off to it. We allow the busyness, overwhelm and distraction to get in the way. We don’t take enough time during our day to SLOW DOWN & Just enjoy the little moments.
Instead we live our lives often running too fast, overdoing things, comparing ourselves to others, judging ourselves and focusing on our lack rather than focusing on what we’re blessed to have. We often use social media, tv, food, shopping and many other activities to buffer or numb our emotions. We’re not willing to sit with ourselves for a few minutes to just feel what is going on in our hearts to help ourselves process our pain, thoughts, energy and emotions.
We need to be able to teach ourselves to disconnect from all that our minds have going on, to just have a moment to slow down, to breathe and to connect to ourselves. The more we’re able to do that, the more we will get to know ourselves. The more comfortable we will become at feeling all kinds of emotions and helping ourselves to connect to God and return to feeling calm, peaceful and with an abundance of love. (Which is what that light within us is all about )
This practice of slowing down and noticing the light will impact all areas of our lives. As we practice noticing the light in each moment we will be able acknowledge the Divine light within us more often and the power that comes from it which RISES above our worries that may be temporary. We will also be better able to see that same divine light of God all around us in the eyes of our loved ones, the people we come in contact with, animals, plants and all other living things. Acknowledging the light in others helps us to connect to the divine light that is within all living things as well.
This Christmas season and throughout the New Year, I invite you to focus on the light. When we can focus on the light of God, we’re better able to invite more of it into our lives. We can forgive others with a sense of knowing that Gods Rivne light allows it to be easier for me to forgive and to see others in divine light too. We can also recognize with humility our mistakes, and know that there’s a loving God who is always ready to help us on our journey toward becoming a purer soul. He is ready to fill us with more light, he is ready to forgive us when we come to Him in humility. He is willing to give us more light if we desire to invite it and to see it more in our daily life.
OUR SOUL’S MISSION IS TO LEARN ABOUT THE DIVINITY WITHIN US AND ALLOW THAT DIVINITY TO EXPAND!!! So, let’s slow down a little and focus on seeing the divinity within ourselves and all around us. See that divine light in your family members, in the plants, animals and all living things. Recognize the light, bless it, welcome the light of God around you to come in and reside within you. Your light is already there. You just have to allow God to let you feel more of His light flowing through you.
Feel His peace and His love by being willing to NOTICE THE DIVINITY THAT FLOWS WITHIN YOU AND AROUND YOU. Allow yourself to invite more of the light and love of God to reside within you and around you today. Let go of the things that don’t help you or serve you and do your best to be present and to sense the spirit of all that is Divine around you. Allow your day to flow from an abundance of light. Notice that the light of God brings a calm confidence. Trust that you’re surrounded by that loving peace and abundance from God and that all of your needs will be met and you will be able to prioritize and focus on the truly important things. The things that matter. The things that have eternal importance.
I pray that today and this end of the year you practice letting go of the stress and instead focus on inviting more light to be with you. Remember that the light of the body begins with our eyes. And what we choose to see and focus on. Set your eyes on things that uplift, edify, build faith and remember to see the world around you with eyes that are focused on seeing the light of God. Try this for today and feel the difference.
If you need to release stress and re-center or re-charge yourself. I invite you to join this class tonight at 7pm. It won’t just help you physically, but it will also strengthen your mind and soul. You will experience a wonderful meditation to help you relax and align yourself to divine light. And you will leave feeling re-charged, renewed, peaceful and calm so that your focus can be re-centered during a time of the year when we need a little more of that. 🫶🏼
Our spiritual goal is to focus on the light of God within us and around us daily. Let’s allow His light to reside brightly within us to help us focus on gratitude and on taking each moment one step at a time in the direction that allows us to feel more of that light. Then, we will be better able to be a light to others as well. 🙂
Our physical goal is to take care of ourselves by exercising during the week and also thinking about the health goals that we want to accomplish. Let’s make it a goal to exercise a little daily. This will also help us get rid of stress. & Eating healthy will keep us having the right energy that our body needs to work optimally. So, try it and do your best each day to love yourself and take care of yourself. You deserve this! ❤️
Love you all and keep doing your best. Focus on the good and do your best to enjoy each day to the fullest. Thank you all for sharing your divine light with me! I’m blessed and so thankful to know each and every one of you. Can’t wait to see you tonight & for us to do this together! 💪🏼🥰
Every sunrise is a blessing, a gift just for today. Embrace it and enjoy it before it fades away.” If we choose to see the gifts that God has given us, we will see His fingerprints of Love and divinity all around us.
Some days may be harder than others. Regardless of the type of day we may be having, it’s important to remember that we need to slow down. To focus on TODAY. To take it one day at a time or one moment at a time. We can make a conscious choice to be present, in the here and now. We can ask God to help us become more aware of our surroundings, and more willing to focus on our blessings.
We can choose to be filled with Peace in this moment. We can choose to be filled with Love and light. All of these are gifts that we can give to ourselves. Gifts that we can give to God, and gifts that we can give to others. We can choose to focus our attention on seeing the light, beauty and love that is woven in all that surrounds us at this very moment.
God wants us to be more present. He tells us in Mathew 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
We can remind ourselves God wants us to practice being more present. That each moment brings with it the gift of life and the chance to love. This small moment, this precious day will not come again. We have never seen a day like this before. Therefore we must try to make it the best it can be. And to focus our choices and activities on what is truly important and on what will allow us to feel more comfortable and connected to God and his daily gifts.
We can change the way we see things normally, and focus instead on the beauty that is around us. we can start to view our day as being saturated in sacred sights and sounds. Then, this moment right here, right now, where we are, broken, messy, or whatever it may be, becomes a beautiful & holy moment.
James 1:17 Says: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
God is the provider and the giver of all Good gifts. If we choose to see His light in our lives, we will see Him and feel Him. He gives us more than we realize daily. He loves us and wants us to keep our view focused on Him. The Father of lights, the Father of our souls. He who knows the end from the beginning is ready to help us and lift us daily. We just have to reach up to Him and consciously be aware of how blessed we are and the gifts that He is constantly giving us.
So, let’s remind ourselves today to look up! Look up to the Father of lights to fill us with more light. As his children we already have his light within us. But it is up to us to fill our hearts, homes and all that surrounds us with more of His divine light.
Let’s remember to not allow the enemy to bring us down. Recognizing the negative ways in which he affects us. But also remembering that we’re stronger than we realize. Our power comes from our Father in Heaven. Who is filled with love, light and peace. He is the giver of all good gifts. Who is granting us the gift of being here today.
We can reject negativity with prayer and feeding our minds and souls all that is good & uplifting. We get to CHOOSE to focus on the light or not. God invites us to experience His love in the daily moments that He gives us on this earth. So, Enjoy them and allow your heart to be peaceful and soak in that daily divine light.
During this Christmas season I invite each one of us to look for the light, for the gifts that God so abundantly gives each one of us daily. I invite us to also be a light to others and to consciously choose to be filled with Love, Light and Peace form one moment to the next. Let’s recognize and thank God for all of the gifts He has blessed us with and continues to provide even to this very moment.
Finally, I want to challenge you to make a promise to yourself to take your focus away from yourself this holiday season and instead think of a gift that you could give to God. Ask yourself “What is one gift that I could offer to God this week?” What would be a good gift to give Him for all He does for me?” I pray that as you do this you will be blessed to feel an even greater abundance of Gods love and blessings.
Tonight in class I invite you to be in the moment. To enjoying the gift of being able to move your body and to strengthen yourself physically, mentally and spiritually. If you’re feeling stressed and overwhelmed I invite you to make time for class & think about the ways in which it will benefit you. Come ready to have a peaceful meditation that will re-center you and re-focus you on the truly important things in your life. This is the time of the year when we need this the most. Love you all and let’s do this together! 💖
Think of the ways in which the enemy stops us from praying. Is it distractions, Social Media, Internet, Tv, waking up late, other responsibilities, Or just laziness?
There will always be distractions that try to stop us from praying. That’s the enemy’s goal! He wants us to be as far away from God as possible. The enemy will do anything in his power to prevent us from praying. He knows that if we have a relationship with God, this will weaken his influence in our lives and because he fears those who are close to God, he will try as hard as he can to stop us from building a relationship with God.
If we are able to recognize the ways and tools which the enemy uses to create this separation from us and God, then we must fight against it with a stronger desire to push away the opposition and to do ALL THAT IS IN OUR POWER TO COMMUNICATE WITH GOD, OUR FATHER. This desire will bring strength and peace into our lives and a stronger connection to God daily.
2 Nephi 32:8-9, Says;
And now, my beloved brethren, I perceive that ye ponder still in your hearts; and it grieveth me that I must speak concerning this thing. For if ye would hearken unto the Spirit which teacheth a man to pray, ye would know that ye must pray; for the evil spirit teacheth not a man to pray, but teacheth him that he must not pray.
But behold, I say unto you that ye must pray always, and not faint; that ye must not perform any thing unto the Lord save in the first place ye shall pray unto the Father in the name of Christ, that he will consecrate thy performance unto thee, that thy performance may be for the welfare of thy soul.
By giving in to the spirit of God, which teaches us to pray and to stay close to God. We will notice how different our days will be if we start our day with a prayer. Having that quiet time of communication and mediation with God will allow us to be better able to deal with stress and the different situations that may arise during our day. We will feel differently just by knowing that we started our day with a prayer. We will be able to acknowledge more clearly the hand of God in our lives. And this relationship to protect us, inspire us, uplift us and bring us even more peace and clarity during our day.
Our Father in Heaven isn’t just there for when we NEED him. Imagine how He would feel as our creator to see us willingly desiring to come to Him of our own free will. As our creator, He loves to hear from us! & if we can make that a daily habit we will start to count on God during the good times as well as the bad times.
We can even ask Him to consecrate our performances in everything that we do. From cleaning our house to working or doing all of our activities. That He will allow those things to be for our welfare, for the benefit of our soul, and that all of our activities may all be a delight to Him and a way to honor God for what He gives us the opportunity to do in this very moment. Dedicating our days and tasks to Him seems so beautiful. It will help us find a better connection to the task that we’re doing and it will allow us to be more present and God will be able to communicate to our hearts and souls things that we may not be open to seeing otherwise.
Our spiritual goal for the week is to recognize the things or oppositions that are getting in our way from allowing us to talk to our Heavenly Father. Make a conscious effort to push away the opposition and to make the changes to put God first in our lives. The goal is to pray each morning and to have a prayer in our hearts during the day as we dedicate our activities to Him. Asking him to help us see the good in each task and to consecrate it for the benefit of our soul. If you have an experience that teaches you something from this week, please share it with me, I would love to hear it!!!
Our physical goal for the week is To have self control this week with the food we eat. Choosing healthy food will bless us and even with that it’s an opportunity for us dedicate that to God.
Tonight at 7 we’re gonna burn calories, tone and mediate to leave us feeling not only physically strong but also emotionally and mentally ready for the rest of our week. I hope you guys can make it and be able to push away the opposition that gets in the way for us to be able to do something amazing for body, mind and spirit.
Hope to see you there! 🙂 Have a blessed and wonderful day and I want you guys to know that I love you and that I pray for you always. I’m so thankful to have each and every one of you in my life. & Thank you so much for reading these little weekly messages! Hope we can keep them in our hearts and try to do better each week.
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. And Practicing 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. And 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.
Hope that you can make it to class tonight at 7:00PM! Our goal is to release stress, strengthen our Body and renew our Mind and our Spirit through meditation & relaxation. If you feel like you need it, please motivate yourself to be there and to do something good like this for yourself today. It is a gift that will benefit YOU! You’ll leave feeling amazing and you won’t regret it. Plus, we’ll be able to see each other and to renew our energy together. Invite whoever you want & hope to see you there! ❤️🥰
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 to drink water instead. I challenge you to do only water for one week at least.
TODAY, FOCUS ON THE THINGS THAT MATTER MOST, BE GRATEFUL AND TAKE IT MOMENT AT A TIME. ONE CHOICE AT A TIME, ONE DAY AT A TIME. Love you and You’ve got this!
Our life has a purpose. When God created each one of us, He had a plan in mind and a mission for us to accomplish. Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” God wants us to be hopeful, to trust Him and to do our best to accomplish His plans for us. He’s not asking us to figure everything out, but instead He’s asking us to trust Him and to trust in His plan for our lives.
As we place our trust in Him & come closer to Him, our purpose will become clearer and He will be better able to guide us toward becoming who He desires us to become.
Having hope and faith in God brings us the power to act. We know that we can’t just wish for things to happen and that’s it. When we have faith in God, we gain a stronger desire to ACT. We’re more willing to put in the work necessary toward reaching who we are meant to be. God said; “Whatsoever thing ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is good, in Faith believing that ye shall receive, behold it shall be done unto you.” (Moroni 7:26)
God is ready to bless us if we have a pure heart, if we seek Him & ask Him, BELIEVING that we will receive. How amazing is that?!? This is where our faith is tested & where God is able to show Himself in our lives. Christ said; “If ye will have faith in me ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient in me.” (Moroni 7:33) That scripture promises us that we will have power through our faith to accomplish the desires of our heart. Desires that align with the love and the desires that God has for us too. So, with our Faith in God, we’re better able to see more clearly which goals we should focus on and actually move forward toward accomplishing them.
We can go to God daily & from Him receive wisdom and power to accomplish those things. We can then Act toward our goals taking the daily action to move closer to our goals. God will help us achieve our physical, spiritual, emotional or temporal goals. He knows what’s in our hearts and because He loves us and wants the best for us, HE WILL HELP US. TRUST HIM AND TRUST IN YOURSELF AND IN YOUR ABILITY TO DO THIS. ❤️
Having faith also allows us to act as if our goals are on their way. That belief and trust in God and in ourselves that we will make our goals possible with His help, will bring us the motivation that we need. Knowing that there’s a God who can help us changes everything! We can ask for daily wisdom to know what to focus on for this day, and we can move forward toward accomplishing that goal. Remember to start out with smaller goals that lead to the bigger goals. The more that we’re able to accomplish the small things the more momentum we will have to accomplish the bigger things. Practice seeing yourself accomplishing your daily goals. Visualize yourself doing it and having Gods help to achieve what is in your heart. feel yourself getting Healthier, stronger, becoming more peaceful, and accomplished. Your positive energy toward this is what truly makes the difference.
When you have those days when notice yourself comparing where you are to where you want to be, focus on this one question: “What single, small decision can I make right now to move forward in my process of becoming? Write down your thoughts and feelings and be aware of what comes to your mind. That’s one way you can know which action to take. Also, there may be times when we feel like giving up on our goals because we slipped or made a mistake. But remember to be kind to yourself, Don’t give up. Just take a moment to evaluate what led to the mistake or the negative thought and wether your process should be modified to help prevent it from happening in the future. If you know your goals are worth working toward you will keep trusting and moving forward them with faith in God.
Finally, Remember that rather than focusing solely on the outcome of the goal, put your energy into the process of becoming. In a process, every moment is important. You can enjoy feelings of small daily successes. You can learn from setbacks, rather than treating them as signs of failure. In a process of becoming you can find joy in each moment. You can be grateful for the opportunity to be a work in progress. You can remember to LOVE YOURSELF DAILY! And to be compassionate and speak kindly to yourself. You trust that as long as you are working the process, which is an essential part of exercising faith in God, reaching your goal will be the natural outcome.
So, make it a point today to re-evaluate your goals. Think about what you’re working toward and what God wants you to place as your top priorities. Align yourself to that knowledge and that desire to work toward the things which are important. Make a plan, start small, visualize and give yourself grace and the motivation that you need to accomplish each thing. If we want something we have to work toward it. Make it a pleasure to work on yourself daily and on your journey of becoming. Find joy in this journey and move forward trusting and having faith in God and in yourself.
With God all things are possible! You can do it! Count on Him, do your best & go for it. TRUST, ACT & BECOME.
Our SPIRITUAL GOAL for this end of the year is to accomplish some of those goals. Set 1 to 3 goals that you want to work toward. Break down the steps and set aside the time daily to act on them. Ask God in Faith to help you have the wisdom to know what to focus on & get to work. Continue to give yourself daily grace. You can do it! Plus, God has promised the POWER for you to accomplish it. Stay motivated and make it it happen.
Our PHYSICAL GOAL for the week is to exercise at least 3 days this week and to eat as clean as we can. Choose nutrient rich snacks and try to remove the sugary drinks. Try to be conscious of your choices and the different things that are going into your body. Make it easy for yourself by having healthy snacks available so you don’t get super hungry and reach for the bag of chips in the pantry. Make the decision, help yourself and track it if it helps you. You’ll notice the difference in your mood and energy. Your body will thank you for choosing good food.
We will have CLASS TONIGHT AT 7:00 pm! Come release stress, and do something awesome for your body, Mind and Spirit. Only YOU can do this for yourself. Make that promise to yourself and keep that promise. 🙂 That’s how you can continue to LOVE yourself more and more, by keeping your promises 😉 So, put on your workout clothes ahead of time and drive yourself to class, (That’s the hardest part) I promise that you’ll leave feeling AMAZING!!! Centered, peaceful and motivated to take on the week and accomplish your goals.
Hope to see you there and that you’re able to keep this message and goals in your heart. God will strengthen you & help you to accomplish them. Trust Him & DO YOUR BEST ONE DAY AT A TIME. ❤️
