For the majority of us, self care is usually at the bottom of our to do list or sometimes it’s not even there at all. Our days are focused on giving ourselves in service to others, creating, learning, living, being and doing. Until at the end of the day we realize that we’re just exhausted and we had no time to give to ourselves much of anything.
As I’ve experienced this in my life, I’ve started to realize that self care Self care is a spiritual practice. I believe that as we practice loving ourselves, we will be able to make our connection to God even stronger. Self-care and self-love is the foundation of all spiritual practices. If we don’t honor ourselves, we can’t possibly honor our oneness with God and all of His creations. If we don’t care for ourselves, we are unable to serve others from the empty well. If we don’t see that we are a magnificent reflection of God, of His love and of His goodness then we can’t be God’s magnificent reflection in the world.
As we’re able to love ourselves and to see the light of God flowing within us, we will be better able to express more love for ourselves and for others. It will become easier to make wise choices about the way we spend our time, how much time we spend on social media, what we choose to do with our time or the ways in which we choose to strengthen our body, mind and spirit daily.
We can only become what we accept ourselves as being. So let’s accept our magnificence, our divine connection to God. Our ability to love ourselves MORE and to give more fully to ourselves and to those around us.
Here are a few things that we can practice in the world around us.
💖 Be kind in the way that you think of yourself. Check your thoughts about yourself. Question where they come from and if necessary edit out any negative or unkind thoughts. You deserve better for yourself.
💖 Be kind to your body in all ways, fueling it with healthy foods, exercise and plenty of joyful activities. At least one joyful activity per day 😉
💖 Be kind to yourself by seeing your spirit as a radiant, powerful expression of God‘s love.
💖 Be kind to yourself by taking downtime when your mind, body and spirit requested from you. You will know when you feel resistance, or that feeling of dragging yourself from one event to the other. Remember to stop, check in with yourself, get present, take some deep breaths and treat yourself as a beloved child of God. Listen for His wisdom and all else will be accomplished with greater ease.
💖 Lovingly remind yourself that it’s important to care for yourself and that you deserve some time each day for that. You can also practice believing in yourself and saying to yourself; I lovingly care for myself knowing that I am a child of God, radiant powerful and beautiful. When I am clear and healthy, I enjoy life more deeply and I love others more fully.
Strengthening the relationship that we have with ourselves, is like a little seed. It requires daily nourishment. It starts in our minds. The more that we’re able to check our thoughts and replace them with healthier & kinder thoughts toward ourselves, the better we will start to feel. Then our actions toward ourself will also change. We will be better able to keep the promises that we make to ourselves, we will see our connection to ourselves becoming stronger & healthier. We will see that our self esteem & confidence will start to align to God and not so much the world around us. We will learn to not be so affected by what others say and do because we will be able to have our own back and loving ourselves enough to see us more as God sees us.
Love you all and I hope that you can grow that love within yourself 💖🙏🏼🥰 You’re in control of your thoughts, feelings and actions. Make them work for your benefit and God will bless you for your good efforts. Tonight we will focus on loving ourselves by taking some time to strengthen our Body, Mind and Spirit. Hope that you can make it at 7:00pm & do this for yourself. 💪🏼🥰💛

Believe that you have access to receive help from an all loving God who is willing to rescue and assist you in your challenges, struggles or the moments when you need to be lifted up. Know that you have the power within you to create your thoughts, feelings and actions that will help you to become the best version of yourself.
Make it a point today to be grateful for your blessings and to fill yourself with that peace and love that God wants you to have.

Let’s focus instead on eating more fruits and vegetables that will help our bodies gain the most nutrients that we need.
Class allows us to strengthen our Body, Mind & Spirit in the small amount of time that we’re together. It’s a little boost of power that we all can benefit from.

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. ❤️
When we feel overwhelmed, stressed or anxious with whatever may be going on in our lives right now, let’s try to remember that it is ok to cry, it’s ok to feel our emotions and it’s ok to try to be still for a moment. We have to practice checking our thoughts and noticing what feeling our thoughts are creating within ourselves. That’s why we practice so much different breathing techniques in class to help us slow down our thinking for a moment. As we focus on our breath we can try to take a look at our thoughts from a distance so that we may discover which thoughts are positive or negative at the time. These precious moments of looking within ourselves can help us to refocus. To re-write or create a better thought and to focus on higher things and the ways in which God can help us and bring us comfort.
The path of focusing on the negative, complaining, feeling discouraged and angry is always easier but definitely not rewarding. We often allow the emotions or judgments of others to affect us, when we already know that we can’t control what anyone else does or says. Or when we realize that there are things in life that we just cannot control at all. We have to practice giving those things to God and re-focusing our energy on certain moments on the things we can control. Such as what we think, say or do.
That is where our power comes in. When we realize that we can hang some of our pain and stress or anxiety to God. We can hand Him all of it if we really want to. We can trust Him and honor God and ourselves by choosing a better thought, a better emotion a better action. We deserve to focus on peace. We deserve to feel love, God wants us to feel His light, Love and peace. But he can only do that for us as long as we’re willing to hand things over to Him and let him take care if the things we can’t control and also to help us empower us and encourage us to focus on the things we can control by having access to His Divine help. Whom better to trust than the God who created us and the God who has control of the things we do not. Let’s love ourselves enough to try to practice giving our pain to God and allowing ourselves to focus on what is healing, on what is good and on what bring light and peace to our hearts, minds and souls.
Philippians 4:13 Says; I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Do we really believe that we can do ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS US? He speaks to us Individually, letting us know that WE CAN! that we can overcome the pain, the sorrow, the depression, anxiety, stress or anything else. Christ has suffered it ALL, HE CAN OVERCOME IT ALL. And He can help us, strengthen us and fill us with His daily divine light to be able to do so. What is required of us is to have a desire! To want to hand it over to Him. To pray and ask believing that He will carry those things for us and allow us to have more peace, light and his divine love to help us lighten our load.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
There are so many amazing scriptures to remind us that God is with us and that He can get us through anything we may be facing. What’s important, is that we choose to trust in His words and to allow those words to come over us, to empower us and to fill us with His strength. So that we may be able to continue moving forwarding in light, love and in positive energy for ourselves and for whatever we may be facing. Trust in God and changing our thoughts to be aligned to His and His will for our lives, will make all the difference.
So today, let’s remind ourselves and say to ourselves; “I CAN!” I can overcome all things through Christ who strengthens me! I can do this, I can get through today or ONE DAY AT A TIME. Inviting Gods love and peace to be with me. “I can do this because I choose love for myself, I choose to honor God and what He can do for me. To take this away from me. I trust Him. I believe in what He can do for me and in what I can do to heal and help myself.”
God wants to remind you that through Him you can do MORE! He wants to remind you that you’re loved by your creator, that your Father in Heaven and your Savior know all of your pain and all that you experience and go through. Your Savior Jesus Christ wants you to feel His hands in your life, His live and His healing power. God knows and sees the work that you do. He knows when you’re weak and tired and wants you to remember to look to Him for help. His Angel will be around you to strengthen you and help you. You will be able to choose good thoughts, feelings and actions to move you from one moment to the next t or one day to the next. Don’t run faster than you can but remember to slow down and focus on that being in the universe who has all the control. Give it all to Him, trust Him. Get to know Him from moment to moment and you’ll feel the difference in your life, in what you choose to focus on and in how you spend your time. He knows your heart and is ready and willing to help you through it All.
Believe in yourself, and in your ability to choose to focus on the good. keep your eyes centered on what God would want you to do for yourself and for those around you TODAY. Keep your heart focused on the Love of God so that you may experience MORE LOVE for yourself. Focus today on feeling Gods love in the smallest little things, like the air you breathe, the plants you see, the animals and the children around you. The light and love of God is all around you! How much of it can you see or focus on? 💛
Our Spiritual goal for ourselves today is to “check in” With ourselves each hour, to take some deep breaths and re-focus our energy on what we want to feel. Ask yourself, how do I want to show up for myself and others during this hour? Remind yourself I CAN DO THIS! I can do all things through Christ who Strengthens me….Whatever your goal is, remember to give yourself the gift of encouragement, love and alignment with God to remain positive. You’ve got this & YOU CAN DO THIS with your divine God and Heavenly Friend.
Our physical go for the week is to remain in alignment with our health goals. Focus on the good healthy foods you can eat and how good they are for your body. Don’t tell yourself you can’t have that! Etc…Instead tell yourself you choose not to have it because you’d rather choose something healthier for yourself. Tonight in class we’ll talk a little more about this.
Hope that you can make it to class tonight at 7 PM to strengthen your Body, Mind and Spirit! Motivate yourself to do this for YOU! Because you love yourself enough to make the time for it and because you deserve to Release stress and recharge your energy. I promise you won’t regret it. But instead you’ll leave feeling renewed mentally, physically and spiritually.
We all know that it’s part of life that we have to experience pain, loss and difficulties. My family has experienced a huge loss this week. Our hearts have been broken and it’s hard to believe that this is really happening. It’s during those difficult moments when the questions come up and we ask ourselves, “why did this have to happen?” “How do we cope with this terrible loss?” and so many more questions that we may not have answers to while we’re on this earth.
As I sat quietly outside today, I took a moment to focus on the sunrise, to feel the light and the warmth of it. I looked around at the trees and the plants, the water around me and I focused on studying the colors of the flowers next to me. I tried to be present and in that moment of presence, I had a feeling of witnessing God in all of those living things around me. It was a beautiful testimony and reminder to me that THERE IS A GOD & He knows everything that we’re experiencing.
I could feel with all my heart and the energy of my soul that God lives!! That He is the creator of all of these divine living things that surround us and that He knows the cycle and purpose of each one of HIS divine creations. I felt so much love from Him. I felt so connected to God. Even with the pain that we’re experiencing as a family right now, I could feel myself completely covered by His love and having the knowledge that each one of us is in His hands.
As I sat pondering for a little while, I was then reminded of the scripture which says; Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. “But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. “Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows” (Matthew 10:29–31).
Our Father in Heaven watches over us, we are His children. We’re worth so much to Him that even His son, Jesus Christ dies for us and for the LOVE He has for us. He knows the end from the beginning and even the hairs on our head are counted. He is very aware of all that we go through. All of the pain, joy or suffering that we may experience. It’s especially important to notice in these scriptures that His eye is on the sparrow that falls, and He is aware of it. To me, it means that He is there to rescue us when we fall or when we feel weak or when we can’t do it on our own. He is aware of us. He is concerned for His fallen children. He will provide us with what we need to allow us to feel that He really is holding on to us.
I find so much comfort in sitting outside, breathing, praying. It’s important for us to know what brings us comfort. I also know that if I want to hear the words of God I have to open my scriptures and look for His words. This morning I opened my scriptures without thinking, to Proverbs 3 and I read “Write Mercy and Truth upon the tablet of thine heart” and I felt that that is exactly what I want to do. I cried as I read those words because I felt that they were being spoken to me. How beautiful to write mercy and truth upon the tablet of my heart. Mercy meaning the mercy that Jesus Christ gives me daily. His love, kindness, Forgiveness and all that He’s able to provide for me today. I’m surrounded by His mercy and I want to have that written in my heart.
The next part talks about focusing on truth being written in my heart. I started thinking about all that I know is true. And I started naming the things that I know are TRUE in my life. To me, God is truth, The fact that I know He lives and He hears my prayers and knows my joys and sorrows…That is TRUTH. The fact that I have felt His love and I know He loves me, is TRUE. The love that I have for my family is true! All that I could count as true in my life I want to write that upon my heart and keep it with me.
So my goal today is to have MERCY and TRUTH WRITTEN UPON MY HEART. Having that knowledge will allow me to find stillness and peace when I need it. We can all experience stillness and peace or a time to connect to our Father and our Savior. They love us and won’t leave us comfortless.
I also like the idea of being aware of the things that help us to feel Gods love and reaching for those when we feel we need it. Some of the things that may help are:
❤️Getting quiet to still our mind. To find a place to relax, breathe and give your brain one command, such as; “Find the stillness,” & remind yourself that at this moment, you don’t need to have all the answers. You just need to find the stillness and breathe. The more we practice finding stillness the better we’re able to handle what comes our way.
❤️ Journaling. Give yourself a little time to quickly jot down every thought, feeling, frustration, and emotion that comes to mind. Sometimes this brings up all kinds of emotions but if we can give ourselves love and kindness we can release some of that on paper in a healing way. Society teaches us that feeling our emotions is a sign of weakness but in fact; it’s a sign of strength. Use this time to handle everything that’s been building up in your system. Allow it to flow out and allow yourself to be guided by God as you release in a healthy way.
❤️ Trust in God and know that True peace and happiness comes from within. It’s not an external force. It’s a state of being independent of what’s happening in your outer world. God will Provide you the power to have peace amidst the storm. Seek Him and feel the difference He can make.
In Proverbs 3 I also read today: “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. “In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
Whether you are going through a major life crisis or managing the day-to-day struggles. Allow yourself to find your PEACE. Your stillness and your connection to the Divine Father who created YOU. The one who knows all that you’re going through. Keep yourself planted upon His Word and looking to Him for peace, guidance and direction even if it’s just one day at a time, one moment at a time….HE WILL PROVIDE.
As we SEEK personal time with God through prayer, we can know how to handle anything that comes into our lives. I’ve discovered that when I make time to be ALONE WITH HIM, He gives me the greatest wisdom and provides the peace that I need at that specific moment. So, put it to the test in your own life and make that time with God a space for YOU to DISCONNECT form your daily struggles or challenges that you may be going through, to just CONNECT TO GOD & to HIS DIVINE POWER & LOVE FOR YOU!!! ❤️
As we choose to make the time to Come to Him. He will provide the inspiration, the thoughts and specially the PEACE that we need to get us through the challenges or sometimes just to get us through the day. Write Mercy and Truth upon your heart and know that you trust in the most loving and amazing being in the universe! YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN. ❤️
So, Take your step toward Him one moment at a time. Trust in His timing for your life and in His infinite wisdom. He knows why these storms have to come, He knows what will strengthen YOU & what will make you spiritually, mentally and emotionally the type of child of God He wants you to become. TRY TO FIND THE DIVINE EVEN IN THE MIDST OF YOUR STORM. ❤️
As we CHOOSE to focus on the LOVE of our Father in Heaven & our Savior we will be able to write upon our hearts Mercy and Truth. We will be better able to learn from the challenges that we experience. We will see that we will be surrounded by His love, that we’re not alone, and His peace will be here to give us the strength that our souls need amidst the storms. We really can remain internally peaceful, with a heart that has been written upon by God and aligned to the stillness that will cover ourselves in the Peace that God can provide. WE CAN DO ALL THINGS WITH HIS HELP. ❤️
Our spiritual goal for the week is to keep Mercy and truth written upon our hearts. To find more stillness and to make our way toward peace as often as we need It. Let’s practice connecting to God in a deeper way. Listening to what He provides to our heart, Mind and soul. Finding stillness and His peace is the most healing way to live and the best way to feel THE LOVE OF GOD.
Our physical goal for the week is to walk daily and to drink half of our body weight in ounces of water each day if we can. 😉 Walking and water are both so healing and so good for us. Try it and do your best taking care of your body, Mind and Spirit this week.
Class will be cancelled next week. So I Hope that you can make it to class tonight at 7pm! Sometimes we don’t feel like doing this, and today is one of those days for me…but I feel in my heart that going to class is one of the things that God wants me to do for myself today. I know that He would want me to take care of myself and to also have a time to connect with my beautiful friends and family who come to class. I hope you guys can make it and benefit from it as well! ❤️love you all and hope to see you there.
Today we get to make something brand new. No matter what we may be experiencing right now, we have the opportunity to make it a positive experience for ourselves. It all depends on what we choose to focus on. Every single day we get to create by our thoughts, emotions and actions. Today wasn’t there before, the energy we put into this day, the smiles, the gratitude, the love and the actions weren’t there before. We get to choose! We are the creative tools of the divine, allowing ourselves to mold love into new things and to experience the day with God’s divine light flowing through us.
I believe that as part of our life experience we’re meant to find a deeper connection to God, by aligning ourselves more fully to Him. Through stillness, meditation and prayer we can access Gods divine light and begin to see God within ourselves. By purposefully doing this we will be better able to let go of the negative thoughts that drain our spirit and damage our connection to God. Instead, we can choose to hold on to God and what He’s able to provide for us in those moments of meditation and communication with Him.
When we can see ourselves as a divine CHILD OF GOD, we will be able to trust in His PERFECT LOVE. None of us are perfect, but God want to help “perfect us” little by little. We can cleanse our thoughts and remove the negative labels we have on ourselves. As we allow ourselves to connect to God we can begin to see the purpose of our life more clearly, our potential and the ability to gain a better perspective of where to focus our energy and attention one day at a time.
It’s through the quiet moments we create for ourselves, that our vision becomes clearer. Once we start to have that vision, or the feelings in our heart of what God would want us to do. We can go and act accordingly, allowing that connection to God to grow even deeper. As we try to focus on His love and the work and actions which God would want us to bring into this day, this hour, this person, this moment, we become the creators of our world! & God wants us to experience our life with Him.
The more that we allow ourselves to have that connection to God, the more we will experience self love. & once we have more love for ourselves, it’s easier to give love to others.
The scriptures tell us; Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
God is love! And he is the father and the creator of love. He wants us to experience live constantly. His live in all creations, in our families, in the world and in ourselves. As we begin to be more aware and purposefully strengthen our connection to God we will be able to experience His love more fully. We will be better able to treat ourselves and others with that divine love. We will begin to see God in them and also be able to experience the type of love the God has for them as well. Our vision and our heart will change.
Aligning ourselves more to God through prayer, quiet moments (meditation) and studying His words. Requires work from our part. We have to set time aside for our “sacred time with God.” We can do this by sitting out in nature, breathing, asking/speaking to God and being fully willing to listen to the thoughts or feelings that come to your heart. The more that we’re able to do this and follow through with what God tells us in our hearts that we should do. The more peaceful our lives will be. We will be flowing daily in the divine light if God.
This will allow us to become stronger in God. Creating for ourselves the types of relationships that God would want us to have. We will begin to be stronger, even to the point in which our minds will no longer be influenced by our negative, pessimistic or judgmental thoughts about ourselves, others or our circumstances. Once we have those moments of connecting to the Divine and trying to live a life that is pleasing to God, we let go of the pressure to please the world! What a freeing moment to no longer feel like we have to “please the world” because we’d rather Please God and be present from one moment to the next allowing God to flow throughout the day with us. ONE HOUR AT A TIME.
As we allow ourselves to connect and align ourselves to God from one moment to the next, we will notice that our the thoughts our words and actions begin to change. It becomes easier for us to choose what to focus our energy on. We start choosing how to react to the different circumstances or situations that we encounter. We can CHOOSE TO CREATE MORE love, compassion, peace and gratitude for ourselves and others. We can focus our mental energy and our physical energy on doing good for ourselves, for God and for those around us.
This will allow us to have not only a great day, created by divine moments of Inspiration or guidance from above, but also a lifetime filled with divine creations. A life that does not revolve around what the world thinks or wants etc but instead a life that is aligned with God. Remember that YOU are the creator of your world. Make it good, peaceful, enjoyable and filled with gratitude, light and most importantly, THE LOVE OF GOD. The more that we’re able to practice this, the easier it will become.
Our spiritual go for the week is: To create moments where we can fully focus our energy on being the creators of each moment. Reacting to each situation from a place of love and alignment with God. So, dedicate your actions of today to God. (share a smile, Clean your house, spend time with your loved ones, take time for yourself etc) But try it coming from a place of love and connection to God. ❤️ The challenge today will be to check in with yourself each hour. Asking yourself “How do I want to show up for myself and others this hour?” “How can I invite God to be with me right now to do what I need to do with His divine help?” Or “How does God want me to approach this situation or this moment” These are amazing questions to carry us from one hour to the next allowing ourselves to stop, check in take some breaths and feel God in the moment. I hope that you can try it out and feel the difference. You can share your experiences with me if you’d like 🙂 I’d love to hear how this goes for you.
Our physical goal for this week is: To Be more mindful about the things that we’re putting in our bodies. Take some time to notice your food and express gratitude for having it. Notice how it feels, tastes etc. Try to choose good food that is nourishing and nutritious for you.
Hope that you can make it to class tonight at 7pm to released stress and to strengthen yourself physically mentally and spiritually. Love you all and hope to see you there!
As we face the different challenges that come into our lives, we start to realize that we really do have a choice on what we focus on. We can either let the challenges bring us down or allow ourselves to grow from them, hold on, be patient, pray and wait for God’s timing.
We know that our challenges are not something new to God. He knowns what we will go through because He has known the end from the very beginning, He is fully aware of our challenges and is always ready to help us. Even when we don’t feel Him near, He is working behind the scenes to provide for us daily. So, what can we do to navigate life a little bit better? A little bit more in the way God would want is to?
When a problem arises, one of the best things we can do is to try to stop the thoughts from taking over and instead try to stop and take a moment to pray, to cast our cares on God, to communicate with the Divine and wait to hear or listen to what God speaks to our hearts and minds. Then we must write down what He speaks to us! We can’t ignore the feelings that God brings into our hearts and minds after we pray. This is our way to strengthen our communication with Him! & the more That We’re able to liste. The more He will speak. We can also remember to be present, to try to manage our minds and thoughts. We can continue to fill our spirits with positive messages and continue to be kind, gentle and positive with ourselves through it all.
We have to remember that ultimately, we have to be able to have our own back and to try to be our own best cheerleaders through the ups and downs of life. We might not always have people around us to encourage and help us. Sometimes we have to be the ones to help others. So, we have to be aware that it is our own responsibility to care, love and protect ourselves. Difficult moments require us to shield ourselves in all that God can possibly give us to get through the challenges. It’s an opportunity for us to pray, to show God that we do trust Him and His plan for us. It’s a chance to ask God to give us wisdom and to help us to be more positive and kind to ourselves during our difficulties. We have to believe that HE WIll ANSWER OUR PRAYERS & That it’s in His nature to love us and want to help us.
The next best thing we can do is to take a look at our thoughts and notice which thoughts are serving us and which thoughts are weakening us. It’s important for us to write those thoughts down and see if they make sense. Sometimes writing thoughts down on paper can helps us to realize that they’re not really serving us and are causing more damage than good. We can then allow ourselves to change some of those thoughts by re-writing or choosing thoughts that will help us. We can focus on thoughts of GRATITUDE, counting our blessings and feeling grateful for what we are able to have today. Choosing positive thoughts and actions will help us to move forward and upward on our journey of becoming the child that God wants us to become.
The Father of our souls, who loves us and created us, wants us all to have a truly personal and beautiful relationship with Him. The truth is that we don’t have enough wisdom to run our own lives. WE NEED DAILY DIVINE HELP! God has that divine wisdom and power to help us through it all. One day at a time and from one moment to the next. So why not exercise or practice trusting Him a little more today? Why not give it all to Him? He can protect us and either open or close the doors we’re not meant to walk through. He know that things we’re meant to walk through, the things that will eventually be for our benefit or wellbeing. Even if they don’t feel right or fair in the moment…God knows what He is doing, He is in control of all things and He will help us to get through it all.
It’s important for us to discover and understand that life is way better when we’re fully dependent on a loving God, who is forgiving, kind, merciful and patient with us. Rather than to try to do life on our own. We really do need our creator if we’re looking for internal peace and guidance in our lives. He is the ultimate guide who knows what is truly best for us in the end. He is the one who will light the path of our lives as long as we’re meant to be here on this earth and as long as we choose to trust Him and continue to strengthen our relationship with Him.
So, let’s not doubt His power. Instead let’s be patient, focusing on one moment at a time. Remembering that we have that inner peace available to us always. We have to slow down, take some deep breaths and allow ourselves to connect to God. Remember that now more than ever is when we need to gain stronger inner peace and trust in God. The world will continue to get darker, the challenges may become harder, but we can still live aligned to the light of God so that even during the moments when we don’t understand why things are happening we may always remember and say to ourselves; “No matter what storm I’m going through, I KNOW THAT GOD LOVES ME & WILL TAKE CARE OF ME.” This trust in God will allow us to have His light and love within us so that we may also be able to share that with others who may need this as well.
Now is the time to strengthen our relationship with God and allow it to grow stronger and brighter each day. With God by our side, we have nothing to fear and we can be filled with His hope, love, peace and wisdom. life is sooo much better when we can keep Him close to us. When we can communicate with Him and allow Him to speak directly to our soul. ❤️
Be aware that it’s in the waiting when the enemy attacks us the most, bringing doubts and fears into our mind and heart…But that’s when we can focus on the power of prayer and we can pick ourselves up and say to ourselves; “I am a child of God. Created by the divine power of a loving Heavenly Father. His power is within me. He loves me, He supports me and provides abundantly in my life. He fills me with His peace and love daily and I continue forward knowing that God is working right now in my life and I will receive all that He has promised me. ❤️
Finally, God wants us to experience His joy more fully. So, is there any joy that we can hold on to right now, while we wait for God to help us with our different challenges?…Turning our hearts and attention away from ourselves and focusing on giving to others will bring us more of the joy of God and allow us to receive more of His light and wisdom as we go through our different challenges. Our burdens become lighter when we turn our hearts to others and we’re better able to focus on the light that we’re able to share with others. God will see our efforts and bless us for that always. He wants us to try to find the joy in our journey. Even in the hardest moments, look for that little bit of joy in the smile of a child, In the creations of God or anything that helps bring joy to your soul. ❤️
This week our goal is to remember that there is Divine light fully available for us to gain more wisdom and guidance. We already have divine light within us, because we come from the presence of God. ❤️ We just have to allow ourselves to create moments to strengthen that light through prayer, changing our negative thoughts, focusing on the good, gratitude and joy and most importantly, knowing that God loves us and is definitely us, so that we may reach out to others and help them as well.
Our physical goal will be to burn more calories than we take in. We can make it a goal this week to try to choose more healthy, nutritious food and move our bodies a little more daily. 🙂 Hope that you can make it to class tonight at 7pm to do something amazing for your Body, Mind and Spirit. We’ll be outside taking that hour to do something great to release stress, strengthen our bodies and have an amazing and renewing meditation to help us to connect to God and to leave feeling peaceful and renewed. 🙂 Hope that you can make it & feel the difference in yourself. ❤️
Let’s take some deep breaths today and invite more of the light of God into our lives Remember, that God knew about our problems before we encountered them. I fully believe that part of our test of life is to see if we will learn to trust Him. Blindly, going into our different challenges with opportunities to PROVE OUR TRUST IN HIM. So, prove to God that you FULLY TRUST HIM. Know that He is working on it. Allow Him to take our pain, sadness and challenges and turn them into opportunities to be grateful, to look up to God, to be kind to ourselves and to help others on their journey as well.
Remember to always take a look at your thoughts. Do they really speak truth? Are they energy draining? Or energy producing? We can change those thoughts to be positive so that we may bring on positive actions. Let’s allow ourselves to promise to ourselves today that we will Trust in God MORE! Let’s allow ourselves to be surrounded by His peace, (which is better than anything else this world can offer)
We can trust in His love. & know that our faith will bring miracles and He promises that, to all who believe and trust in Him. So, today is our chance to trust to prove our faith, to believe more fully in Him, to give our difficulties and worries to Him. To listen for His divine guidance and to go and DO what He speaks to our hearts & minds. Feel His love for you today and know that he’s got you in the palms of His hands.
John 14:27 Says; My 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. ❤️
Be here. Today, guide your thoughts back to the present moment with gentle focus and live fully right where you are. Just being present throughout your day will allow you to experience more peace and joy.
We often keep our thoughts focused on the past or on the future and we forget to just enjoy today. To be present and to be here, right now and fully in the moment. God has counseled us in this too, Mathew 6:34 Says; “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.” In His words, we learn that He wants us to be present.
I want to invite you to purposefully be more present during your day today. Let your day flow with grace, and tune in to your inner spirit to allow God to guide you toward where He wants you to focus your energy and attention today.
Allow yourself to be open to welcome the light of God into your life. To purposely focus on not allowing your Mind to go to the past or the future but instead focus on Feeling the love of God as it fills you and as you invite it in. His light & love allows you to be positive and to experience that inner Joy that can only come form His presence.
Today, notice what is around you and express gratitude for each moment you experience. Give thanks for your blessings, no matter how small they may be. Allow yourself to be open, kind and filled with love toward yourself and others. See the good in those around you and focus on inviting THE GOOD into your mind and heart from one moment to the next. Those things which you choose to focus on, will allow you to become more aligned to God, flowing in His light and being able to more easily enjoy the gift of TODAY.
When you are present there is a certain stillness and centeredness inside. You calm down. If you are feeling stressed during your normal day then one of my favorite ways to let that go is to take belly breaths and just focus on them for a minute or two.
To practice being present I suggest that you focus on your senses more. I call it 5,4,3,2,1 (5 things you see, 4 you hear, 3 that you can touch, 2 things you can smell and 1 that you can taste) focusing on your senses brings your attention to the present moment. Allow yourself to re-discover the beauty around you as if you were a child, seeing things for the first time. This will allow you to live more in the moment.
If you have moments of stress during the day. Remember to bring your Mind back to the awareness of the power that you can have now to calm yourself down. The breathing with belly seems to help calm one down in a physical way. Try to make time to take some deep breaths to calm yourself down. By focusing just on the in and out-breaths you connect to the present moment instead of the past or future scenarios that are making you feel stressed.
Today is a great opportunity to slow down our thoughts and minds and focus a little more on being more present. Listen closely to your inner voice guiding you and helping you feel grateful for each moment that you have. Use your breaths, your senses to bring you to each moment, letting go of all the other thoughts that try to take you away from being present. Remember that they are just thoughts that try to intrude and disrupt the inner peace and power that you have NOW.
Buddha said: “The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly.”
Also, Leo Tolstoy said; “There is only one time that is important – NOW! It is the most important time because it is the only time that we have any power.”
So, today focus your energy and power on the moments that you have control of. Be present, kind and loving toward yourself and others one moment at a time. Seek the wisdom that God has for you today, and live aligned to the knowledge that God loves you and wants to help you be more present In your conversations, actions and thoughts. The more you practice those breaths and bringing your mind back to the present moment, the more you will enjoy living today and the more power you will have over the distractions and judgements that arise in our mind. The power is here, Now! Use your power wisely, focus on each moment and feel yourself truly living from one moment to the next.
Hope that you can make it to class Tonight at 7pm! This will be our New Class time for the summer. So, come enjoy the sunset with us, disconnect from all of the things that call for your attention and instead take a moment to give yourself some love and an opportunity to release stress, strengthen your Body, Mind and Spirit . You will leave feeling renewed, peaceful and filled with light to help you throughout your week.

No matter what I’m carrying or holding on to today, I deserve to let go of negativity and hold on to all that brings peace, love and light into my life.
Each day I have the opportunity to choose where to focus my energy, thoughts and attention. Thoughts of fear, pain, lack, comparison or negative affect my Mind, Body and Soul. I recognize that they cause more damage and pain and that most of those thoughts come form the enemy, who doesn’t want me to progress or align to the divine light of God.
So, today I choose to focus on releasing all that is affecting me negatively and giving it all to God instead. I align myself to higher and greater power. The power which is full of love, light, peace and positivity. The light of God which reminds me that with each inhale and exhale that my physical body takes, I can say to myself; “I am a peaceful being,” “My mind is calm,” “My soul is joyful.”I know in whom I trust.”❤️
As I’m able to EXERCISE letting go of the thoughts and feelings that don’t serve me, I begin to understand my relationship with God. I know that I am His child and that He loves ME. He has a perfect plan aligned for me and as I learn to trust Him and listen to Him, I will be better able to master my mind, thoughts and emotions while I’m on this earth.
I will trust in His light, wisdom, mercy and guidance for my life. I place my full trust on Him. I promise Him to be a child who is fully trusting, no matter what. I want to be a child of God who sets no boundaries to the amazing Love, generosity and care that a loving Father in Heaven is willing and ready to give. I recognize that His power is limitless and there’s no end to the amazing things He can do for me in my life.
As I’m able to trust Him, I’m able to hear His words when He says; “Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not.” D&C 6:36 When I look to God in every thought my doubts and fears leave. Negativity disappears because I’m filled with the love of God. ❤️
My Body, Mind and Soul feel peaceful and it’s my faith in God which propels me forward into taking more positive action for my life. It allows me to feel the power of God flowing in my daily thoughts and actions.
I will place my focus on the light, love and peace of my loving Father in Heaven. I will notice His hand in my life today, I will speak to Him with a pure heart and I will do my best to live a life that is positive, peaceful, grateful, loving and trusting….Because I deserve it. ❤️
Hope that you’re able to choose the same for yourself. Let’s take our power and overcome the negativity to instead choose to focus on inviting and allowing the Good to be with us. ❤️ Love you all and can’t wait to hear about the things that you’re able to overcome and focus on with a Gods power to help you. 🙂
UNFORTUNATELY CLASS IS CANCELED TONIGHT BUT WE WILL RESUME AGAIN NEXT WEDNESDAY. Do your best to take care of your body, Mind and Spirit TODAY. Don’t forget that it requires daily effort to re-charge ourselves and place that shield of protection over ourselves. So, choose to do that for yourself today. God is with you, He loves you and you’re not lacking anything with Him. All things will work out for your good. Trust Him, believe in Him and in YOURSELF. Focus on the good and fill yourself with peace, love and light one moment at a time.
Our spiritual goal this week is to focus on positive thinking, write down the things or thoughts that drain your energy:(…notice them and change them. End that pattern of negative thinking in your life & take those deep breaths to reconnect to God as often as you want. ❤️
Our physical goal for the week is to eat healthy meals this week and exercise at least 3 times this week. Take it one day at a time. You’ve got this! ❤️
With everything going on in our world, It’s easy to allow the chaos of it all and of our life’s circumstances to increase our emotional stress, fear and anxiety.
We see that not only is our peace taken from us, but studies have recently shown that an increase in addiction and violence have been on the rise. The world as a whole is having a harder time controlling their feelings, thought and emotions. And sadly we’re finding ourselves and our loved ones looking for ways to “numb” the emotional stress that surrounds us.
We resort to food, addictive behaviors, look for compliments or validation on social media, we obsess over our physical appearance, use entertainment, tv, shopping, substances and many other activities that seem harmless at first, but little by little become the ways in which we buffer our emotions.
Can you see how we’re slowly becoming more and more dependent on outside sources to bring us “inner peace”? Most of the time we don’t even realize how much we’re allowing those things to control our emotional state, or how we’re “numbing the discomforts” of life which little by little disrupts our inner peace. The world would rather numb the emotions than to ever sit with them and feel and process what is going on.
This week I want to motivate you to take a look deeper within yourself. Remember that this may not feel comfortable at first and you may be tempted to grab your phone or try to look for your “buffering tools.” The goal is to honestly sit quietly and make a list of the things that you use to “numb” your emotional discomfort. What comes up for you? What are the things you reach for first? Do they bring you peace? Or do they leave you feeling worse?
Once you’re able to do this for yourself, be proud of your ability to be clear about what those things are. Set a goal for yourself this week that you will notice when those things start to show up and motivate yourself to not rely on them for your comfort. Instead, try to disconnect from the outside world to focus on your internal peace which is always available to you, if you choose to focus on it.
Remember that God invites us to fully place our trust on HIM. He is the prince of peace, who invites our souls to receive true, long lasting and eternal peace.
John 14:27 Says: “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.”❤️
God wants us to not be troubled or afraid. So, what is troubling you today? What is bringing you fear or frustration? Whatever those feelings are, sit with them for a little bit. It’s ok! & remember to allow yourself to speak to God and release that to HIM. He will remove those feelings from you and instead fill you with peace and trust in Him, which is where the greatest peace can come from. Being at peace with God is lasting peace for the soul. ❤️
Remember that no one has permission to upset you, not your circumstances or anything or anyone else, unless you allow them to do so. We talk about this in class every week! So, hopefully you can make it tonight to learn more about this so that you may practice and gain greater strength to help you.
So, set the goal for yourself to NOTICE what you’re using to buffer your emotions. Take some deep breaths appreciating your awareness, and move forward with focusing on inviting greater greater inner peace into your mind, heart and soul today. Make time to strengthen your relationship with God who is the Father of PEACE. He will allow you to be filled hour by hour, one day at a time.
Our Spiritual goal this week is: To gain greater inner peace. To be the KEEPER OF OUR PEACE! The PROTECTOR or our peace and to have the wisdom to know where our peace comes from and lean on that peace from God instead of leaning on anything else.
Our Physical goals is to exercise at least 2-3 times this week and to give our body more water a s healthy nutrient rich foods. ❤️
Hope To see you in class tonight at 6:30pm. Make this promise to yourself to do this for your Body, Mind and Spirit. This will allow you to release stress, strengthen yourself Physically, emotionally and spiritually. We will also practice being the keeper of our peace. Hope that you can make it and feel the difference.
