I Choose Joy

Choosing joy can be hard sometimes. Specially during the times when we’re trying to endure some of the most difficult moments that life has to offer. On some days even the smallest step toward joy can feel like climbing a mountain. The truth is, we can honor a wide range of feelings, in the span of one day, while moving at any pace we choose toward that which is one step lighter.

Research has shown that although some people are born with a more positive disposition, anyone can reprogram their thoughts to foster more feelings of joy and happiness. Once we become aware of the negative repetitive thoughts that keep us distracted and distressed, we can turn toward prayer and positive affirmations to break the cycle. And over time, these new positive thoughts will become habitual.

Some of the best affirmations we can use, can be found in the word of God. Using scripture to regain peace and strength can become one of our best tools to fight against the negative thoughts that try to take over. God wants us to remember that we can choose to Rejoice.

1 Thessalonians 6:16-18 Says; Rejoice evermore.
Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Joy isn’t optional, it is an essential part of those who believe in God. Because we know and trust in a God who created us to have Joy. We know that He wants us to find joy in the journey. He wants us to learn to CHOOSE that for ourselves. & I believe that if it comes from the word of God, He will someday ask us about how much Joy we chose to focus on in our lives.

When we can feel our connection to God, we can start to see that as children of God, He wants us to experience the ups and downs of life, but that through it all we may find joy and focus on the opportunity of seeing God amidst whatever storm we may be facing. He truly can become the God of our circumstances. We can strengthen our faith in Him, notice the good around us and focus on joy one day at a time.

Joy isn’t a feeling that is dependent on our circumstances. It is a response to the goodness of God and our eternal salvation. Choosing joy has very little to do with how we feel and everything to do with how we obey, how we trust and how we believe in the love of God. ❤️

Choosing joy is a spiritual practice, renewing our connection with the divine as we become lighter, more mindful and more peaceful. When in alignment with the spirit of God we can relax and trust that all things will be done according to His will. We will trust and focus on our blessings. We will see that we are safe. We are home in the peace of God. And this is who we really are.

Our goal for the week is to experiment with positive affirmations. Write down your favorite scriptures on your journal or on your phone. Allow negative thoughts and words to move naturally through you without taking up residence.

Love yourself. Complement yourself. Treasure yourself. Forgive yourself. Eat nutritious foods. Get plenty of sleep. Move your body. Keep company with joyful people.

Read uplifting books. Listen to joyful music. Choose inspirational articles, podcasts and movies. Basically BRING ALL THAT IS GOOD AND UPLIFTING INTO YOUR LIFE.

And finally in your heart say to yourself: I open my heart to the possibility of joy. I am grateful for the gifts of today. I trust that my benevolent God has a divine plan for my highest good. I trust in Him and in myself. I choose Joy in my life. 💛🥰

Hope that you can make it to class tonight at 5:00 pm. We will focus on releasing stress and also on allowing ourselves to focus on being joyful and grateful for all that we have. Remember that you are your own best cheerleader and that the motivation to get yourself to class has to come from YOU! So, do this for yourself and feel the difference. You’ll leave feeling renewed and amazing! ❤️ Hope to see you there! ❤️

Love,

Lili 🌸

Trust in God & In Yourself

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 pan 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 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 accomplish 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 YOUR ABILITY TO DO THIS FOR YOURSELF. ❤️

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. 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, accomplished etc. ❤️

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 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 remind you to LOVE YOURSELF DAILY! And 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 just 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. ❤️ HOPE, ACT & BECOME.

Out SPIRITUAL GOAL for the month is to accomplish some goals. Set 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 & get to work. And to 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, help yourself and 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 🙂 ❤️

We will have CLASS TODAY AT 5:00 pm! Come enjoy the sunset, release stress, and do something awesome for your body, Mind and Spirit. Only YOU can do this for yourself. Make the promise to to yourself and keep that promise! That’s how you can LOVE yourself more and more. As you keep those promises to yourself 😉 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. ❤️

Love,

Lili

I Choose To Love Myself ❤️

Happy New Year!! As we begin 2022 I know that many of us start to plan out our goals and all that we want to accomplish this year. Many of our New Years resolutions involve loosing weight and getting healthier.

As I thought about this, I realized that the majority of us have probably been eating more during the holidays and by the time the New Year hits we feel kind of yucky end up creating some of these “health goals” from a negative perspective about ourselves. We say negative and unkind things to ourselves and I don’t want us to start the year creating goals that come from a negative self image about us. Instead, I want us to consciously choose to do the opposite.

During the holidays my family and I were able to spend a little time in North Carolina. While we were there, we talked about the beauty of each place. We named our favorite things about the beautiful nature we see in Florida, and how it has these incredible sunsets and breathtaking beaches. We also talked about the beauty of NC and how we experienced the same amazement by looking at the mountains and the forests. We felt so thankful to be able to experience the Beauty of Gods creations everywhere we went.

Just like the earth, animals, and plants that God created on this Earth, God also created us. He created bodies for our spirits to be housed. Our bodies are the temples to our spirits. We take care of nature and our temple/sacred buildings because of our love for them, their beauty, and the blessings they bring to this earth. When we think of our bodies let us try and think of them with the same admiration as we do towards the temples and the rest of God’s creations. Let us try and take care of ourselves as we would nature and our temples.

We can express daily gratitude for the creations that God has placed on earth for us. And most importantly for the ability that we have to be able to see, touch, smell and enjoy the beauty around us and the gift of having this body. It’s truly amazing how it all works. And even till this day science continues to study how the human body works. It truly is a divine creation. You come from divinity. Your soul has Divine DNA. Try for a moment to close your eyes, take some deep breaths and look within yourself at how the love of God flows through you and how this soul and body that you poses is truly a gift from a loving God who wants you to LOVE AND CARE for it ❤️ That loving God has even given you the gift to be able to CHOOSE for yourself what you want to think, what choices to make etc.

You have the freedom to choose how to take care of yourself. How to speak to yourself, what to feed yourself and how to allow your Mind and Spirit to GROW! God loves you so much He gives you the freedom to choose what to do with this amazing creation He has given you. The more we’re able to express gratitude for our body, the more we will be able to find our connection to God and the more inspiration we will gain as to the ways in which God wants us to care for our ourselves.

I invite you this year to connect more to yourself to CHOOSE TO LOVE YOURSELF MORE! To grow our confidence in God so that you may easily see the type of love you should have for yourself. Ask God to help you love yourself more and do all that you do from a place of Love and honor to yourself and to God. The daily choices we make are opportunities to honor ourselves and glorify God. Choose to life your life from a place of honoring your Body, Your Mind and your spirit because you know you’re a Daughter or Child of God. You have a Body to remind you of this daily! Make it your goal this year to strengthen and LOVE TAKING CARE OF YOUR BODY, MIND & SPIRIT.

The spirit and the body are the soul of man. The body and the spirit are meant to work in harmony with one another. We should, try to take good care of our physical bodies as well as our spirits. So, when you make up each morning and you see that sunrise or when you look at yourself In the mirror take a moment to thank God for what He has given you today. PRACTICE Speaking kindly and lovingly to yourself. Try to find the beauty that God has given you. Not only in the physical way but also the emotional and spiritual parts of you. Find your light, focus on that divine light within you and allow it to GROW! Focus your goals this year on coming from a place of love and not dissatisfaction with yourself. God doesn’t want you to allow the enemy to make you feel bad about yourself. Instead He wants you to TRUST HIM MORE THIS YEAR! TO LOVE YOURSELF & TO DO YOUR BEST ONE DAY AT A TIME ❤️

The goals that you set for yourself can come from a place of love. ❤️ GROW the appreciation for yourself daily! Make the choice daily to feel good about yourself. Recognize what your AMAZING BODY is able to do for you daily! For how it breaks down food and gives you energy. For how you’re able to process and CHOOSE to focus on good thoughts. For the opportunity to choose good exercise and healthy food to fuel you and for the blessing that it is to have it and be able to take care of it.

1 Corinthians 6:19 Says, What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

As 2022 begins, our Goal for this week and this month of January, is to come from a place of love, gratitude and appreciation. Express daily gratitude for your body, say your daily prayers and ask God to help you choose nutritious food and exercise to help you achieve your goals this month. Ask Him to help you tap into those things that will motivate you to move your body, to strengthen your mind and Spirit. It takes daily dedication. But you can do this! You’ve got this! You can accomplish your goals in a loving way and with a desire to help you gain a greater love for yourself and for all that was been placed around you. Remember to take it one day at a time and to choose today to take care of yourself and to be happy! ❤️

See you tonight at 5pm to start the New Year right and to do something AMAZING for your Body, Mind and Spirit! Come release stress and leave feeling renewed and ready for the rest of your week.

Love,

Lili ❤️

I Am Made Of Divine Light

During this hectic season it’s hard to slow down and become more present. But I want to Invite you right now to breathe, to take a few deeper breaths and to focus on re-charging your energy. Take a moment to notice the Divine light within you. 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. That 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 close ourselves off to it. We allow the Busyness and overwhelm to get in the way and we don’t take the time to SLOW DOWN & Just enjoy the little moments. Instead we live our lives often comparing ourselves to others, we constantly judge ourselves or feel that we’re lacking things or that we’re not good enough, have enough etc…We use social media, tv, food, shopping and many other things to buffer our emotions. We’re not willing to sit with ourselves for a few minutes to just feel what is in our hearts and help ourselves process our 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 return to calm, peace and love. (Which is what that light within us is all about ) This practice of slowing down and noticing the light will trickle down slowly to all areas of our lives and it will help us to acknowledge the Divine light within us more. We will also be better able to see that same divine light of God all around us in the eyes of our loved ones, animals and all other living things.

This Christmas season and throughout the 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, we can 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 if we desire to bring it and invite it to reside more brightly into our lives.

OUR SOUL 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. Feel His peace and His love by being willing to NOTICE THE DIVINE 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 that abundance of light. Instead, notice that the light of God brings a calm confidence and 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 and in the things that bring more light into your life and the lives of those around you.

TODAY WILL BE OUR LAST CLASS FOR 2021! I Can’t believe the year is already ending. But I Hope that you can make it to class today at 5:00 pm!!! Not only release stress and to do something awesome for yourself physically, but also to strengthen your soul and to have a wonderful meditation to help you relax and align yourself to the light that is all around you. If you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed I invite you to slow down a little and to make time for this class today. I will give you and amazing meditation to help you release all that stress and instead leave feeling re-charged, renewed, peaceful and calm for the rest of this holiday season.

Our spiritual goal for the rest of the year is to focus on the light of God within us and around us. To allow His light to reside brightly within us and to allow us to be light to others as well.

Our physical goal is to take care of ourselves by slowing down a little. Exercise will help us get rid of stress and eating healthy will keep us having the right energy that our body needs to work optimally. So, love yourself and take care of yourself. You deserve to take care of yourself. ❤️

THE FIRST CLASS OF 2022 WILL BE ON JAN 5th. can’t wait to see you all again. Love you all and keep doing your best. Focus on the good and enjoy one day at a time. & Thank you all for sharing your divine light with me! I’m blessed and thankful to know each and every one of you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🎄❤️🙏🏼🥰

Love,

Lili

Live In The Present.

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. 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 pst 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 calm one down in a physical way. I always have to make time to take some deep breaths to calm myself 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.

This time of the year is when we need to slow down a little more and enjoy 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 (because 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!

Hope that you can make it to class this afternoon at 5:00pm. ❤️ To enjoy the outdoors, to release stress and give yourself the opportunity to strengthen your Body, Mind and Spirit and leave feeling renewed, peaceful and filled with light to help you throughout your week. Just so you know, we will have class tonight and the 15th of December. Class will be canceled the 22nd and the 29th of December. & we will resume again on January 5th, 2022. Hope that you can make it to these last few classes of 2021. ❤️

Love you all! & Don’t forget that you’re not alone. You’re supported, guided and unconditionally loved exactly as you are. God loves YOU! and will help you through it all. Trust Him and feel His love and peace available for YOU TODAY.

Love,

Lili ❤️

December Blessings ❤️

December tends to get a little crazy for all of us. As I was doing my Christmas shopping the other day, I noticed how many of us were running around, trying to find the right gifts. People were zooming by me from one place to another. As I took a minute to stop and notice the chaos around me, I felt exhausted.

The holidays bring so many beautiful moments, but at the same time it’s also a time when we feel that we are expected to be and do everything. Most of us gain weight at the holidays because so much is on our shoulders. We are expected to be psychics as we shop, we are expected to clean and decorate the house, to host the family dinners, cook, wrap, share cards, etc. And all while still looking cute in our Christmas sweaters! 😉 Haha

I realized that this level of running around and doing all of this “craziness” is definitely up to me to choose. I started thinking about how much I don’t want this Christmas season to feel chaotic and crazy, for me or for those around me. I wish we didn’t have to do all the shopping and running around (because of the consumerism attached to this Holiday). And I also wish there wasn’t so much pressure to be and do during the holiday season. Instead, I want to make room to slow down a little. To be more present, To focus on the blessings more than the gifts and to allow myself and my heart to be turned outward to others, to share my peace, love and joy rather than focus on the hectic schedule of the season.

As December begins, I want to invite you and myself to revise our standards and allow the messages of the season -peace, love and joy- to serve as our guide. Similar to the Marie Kondo method, where an item is salvaged or pitched based on the joy it brings, let us consider each extra activity on our list and ask the question, “Can I do this while still retaining my peace (calm and composure), Love (goodwill toward all including pets 😉 and joy (a good mood)? If the answer is no, we have options when we revise our standards we actually lift our spirits.

Remember that you don’t have to do or be everything this holiday season. Try to minimize and make things easier and more enjoyable for yourself. Give yourself time to still slow down, to be present, to listen to God for whom he needs you to serve. (You don’t have to serve everyone either, use your wisdom) Don’t feel pressured to fall into the business of the season. Try your best to focus on joy, to serve with compassion and to enjoy the little moments of this season. It will all work out and it will all be beautiful if we choose to focus on that. God will take care of all of us in His own ways. Make time to notice Him more this season.

You can also say this to yourself: “I respect myself enough to allow peace, love and joy to be the measure of my activities this week. I protect my right to make room for the joys of the spirit and the peace to hear the voice of my soul.”

I hope that you can continue to make time to take care of yourself this holiday season. That you may choose to do something great for your body, mind and spirit. Class will motivate you to do that for yourself. So, make it happen today at 5pm and you’ll fee the difference. The hardest thing is showing up. Once you’re there, we’ll take care of the rest & it will be an opportunity to enjoy the sunset and do something amazing for yourself. You won’t regret it! Love you all and I hope that you can make it. ❤️

Our Spiritual goal for the month is to live in Peace, Love and Joy. To filter carefully what is really important. I’d like to challenge you instead to give a little service each day instead. 😉 fill your heart with all that brings you peace, love and joy.

Our physical goal is to not allow the stress of the season to affect how we take care fo our bodies. Continue to exercise and eat healthy. You deserve it. This is the time when we need our immune systems working their best and exercise and nutritious food will be our shields to protect us.

Love you all and can’t wait to see you tonight at 5pm ❤️

Love,

Lili

The Power To Become

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. 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. ❤️

When we keep that hope in our lives we are better able to move toward our ultimate goal, which is to live a life that we can be proud of. A life that is filled with good & that God will approve of. Ultimately, we are all here to PREPARE TO MEET GOD. So, our goal is to stay focused on trying to live the best life we can for God, for ourselves & for those around us.

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 that align with the desire 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.

We can go to God & 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 IN HIM AND IN YOUR ABILITY TO DO THIS FOR YOURSELF. ❤️

Having faith 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 happen 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. 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, accomplished etc. ❤️

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 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.

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 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 just work toward it. Make it a pleasure to work on yourself 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. ❤️ HOPE, ACT & BECOME.

Our spiritual goal for the next few weeks is to accomplish some goals. Set 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 & get to work 😉 you can do it! Plus, God has promised the POWER for you to accomplish it. Stay motivated and make it it happen. HOPE, ACT & ACCOMPLISH ❤️

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. The only exception will be thanksgiving day 😉 try to be good this week in your choices. That can be one of your goals to try to accomplish. 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. try it out and feel the difference in your mood and energy. Your body will thank you for choosing good food 🙂 ❤️

We will have CLASS TODAY AT 5:00 pm! Come enjoy the sunset, release stress, and do something awesome for your body, Mind and Spirit. CLASS WILL BE CANCELED NEXT WEEK DUE TO THANKSGIVING. But tonight we will leave feeling renewed and ready to take on the week and accomplish some 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. ❤️

Love,

Receptors For Gods Love ❤️

There are days when we feel discouraged, like we’re not doing enough or accomplishing enough. There are days when the weight of everything feels heavier and when it becomes harder to focus on all the good that we have.

It’s on those days when we need to watch our thoughts a little bit more carefully. Because those thoughts of discouragement, hopelessness or heaviness do not come from a God who is loving and kind.

It’s important for us to recognize the times when those heavy thoughts come into our minds. They sometimes seem to overwhelm, frustrate and discourage us. Making us feel on some days disconnected from God and from ourselves. It’s totally ok for us to cry and allow ourselves to feel and experience all kinds of emotions. It’s ok for us to vent and let it all out.
But it is also important to recognize that the enemy is also at work and that he wants us to be miserable like himself. He will throw all kinds of terrible thoughts about ourselves to our minds and hearts. He wants us to think that we’re not good enough, that we’re not doing enough that we’re failing at things…making us feel terrible and miserable is his goal.

It during times like these when we need to remind ourselves that we need to get good at recognizing where those negative thoughts are coming from. That is not the language of God. He would never speak to us like that. God on the other hand would take us where we’re at, He would remind us of His love for us. God’s love is never failing and never changes. It won’t change because of how much we achieve or accomplish. It won’t change because of how much money we make or what you like like.

His love is the same and it has always been the same from the beginning, and it will be the same forever and ever! His love doesn’t change, what changes sometimes is our ability to be receptive to his love.

I like to compare that to receptors. Our physical health depends on hormones and their receptors. If something is wrong with a receptor, it makes it hard for that receptor to receive the messages. Eventually causing illness or disease to occur. For us to experience good health our receptors need to be able to receive and transmit the signals throughout our body.

Similarly, we have spiritual receptors that transmit messages. We can test within us our receptors of the love of God. Sometimes our receptors fail, and we end up allowing more negative thoughts into our minds and hearts.
But when our receptors for the Love of God are activated, when they’re open and ready to receive the light, live and peace of God. We will see that those negative thoughts will fade away. Our receptors will be open to helping us and strengthen rather than not functioning and affecting us negatively.

As we focus on recognizing that, we will be better able to keep our receptors active and ready to feel God’s love. It’s better for us to focus our thoughts and energy on trying to connect to God rather than allowing ourselves to spiral downward into negative thinking. We can choose to focus our energy on what God can do for us instead.

This about the ways in which you can activate your receptors? Some of the ways that allow me to do that for myself, is that I make sure that I have a time to be quiet, possibly in nature for a little while. I like being alone with God so that I can open my heart and speak to Him. I also like to focus my attention on trying to listen to the thoughts and feelings that He puts in my heart. I try to write that down, and I focus throughout the day on what I felt. I make a conscious decision to feed my mind and spirit uplifting words such as reading the word of God or listening to messages or music that lifts my soul.

I also try write down things that I’m grateful for and where I have seen the hand of God in my life this week. I take time to ask for forgiveness and for His help, as I try to achieve and accomplish things through my day I want to view it all more on the way that God would see it. I want to focus on Hearing His loving and encouraging words and to really focus my receptors of His love to be activated and with me through the day.

By doing this, my energy is recharged is re-charged. I feel way more connected to God. And o know that when my heart is fully connected to God all of the negative and heavy thoughts begging to disappear or to go away. Instead I’m Thankful for my blessings, I recognize more of what I’m blessed to have today. I’m better able to feel of His love for me. Which trickles down to other areas of my life, I’m better able to have compassion for myself, to be kinder and way more loving to myself and others.

I’m better able to recognize the way in exit God would speak to me and I’m able to focus on that instead of anything else that may be trying to take my attention. I’m able to connect to the love of God and allow that love to flow within me throughout the day. The more that I try and choose to align my heart to God’s the happier I’ll be, the more I will trust Him and the more I will be guided to focus on what God wants me to focus on in my life. I choose to focus on following the God of Love! The God who never changes and the God who brings true, long lasting peace and joy to any soul.

So, this week focus on activating your receptors for His love. Feel more of His love coming into your life. Flow in that love and kindness for yourself throughout the day and notice that you’re also better able to treat others as God would treat them. To treat yourself as God would treat you and to continue to share that love with others as well. The love of God also allows you to remind yourself that everything will be OK. That you’re doing the best that you can each day and that as you put in your best effort you will be blessed for that.

Tell yourself; Today I choose to focus on God love. He removes the negative thoughts from my mind and heart and I’m able to allow His Love and peace to flow within me. I’m better able to love myself, to take care of myself and others. Because I trust in the God of Love. I’m my creator, the one who has the perfect plan for me. God’s love is my shield and my protection. With Him I can do all things. ❤️

Love you all and hope to see you in class tonight at 5pm. Motivate yourself to be there. The hardest thing is always showing up. But just drove yourself there and you’ll feel the difference afterwards. You’ve got this! 💪🏼🥰❤️

Love,
Lili

I Choose Love Over Fear ❤️

I choose Faith over anxiety, hope over worry and love over fear.

These words can serve us in two ways: As an affirmation and as a practice. When fears arise, affirmations and our breathing can move us gently toward the light even as we face the darkness. They make us mindful of our thoughts and our choice to direct them with faith and hope. Choosing to do this over and over again is the practice, when worries settle in, we always have the choice to look at them through the eyes of love.

When we feel stressed and overwhelmed we can close the door to the outside world and instead make our thoughts and emotions known to God. I promise you that He does hear and answer every prayer of your heart. (Maybe not always in the timing we would like, but HE does answer) He did it for me this week. He answered me with LOVE. ❤️ & Just as He answered me with love, I know He will do the same for anyone who seeks Him. ❤️

As we’re willing to surrender our challenges to Him with a brave, patient and open heart. Trusting in the God of the Universe. The creator of our souls. We will see that He will remove the stress and anxiety from our hearts. & instead replace all of that, with HIS LOVE.❤️

The LOVE OF GOD is the greatest gift in the world. Just to know that you are loved by God, allows you to remove anything else that makes you feel unhappy, anxious or stressed. Because the love of God fills and covers your heart and soul with peace. It brings an assurance that everything will be ok. The soul that is able to trust in God, is able to gain way more strength to overcome the challenges of life than those who place the trust on themselves.

It’s completely up to us to choose to exercise our spiritual muscles daily & to focus on His love. ??❤️ It’s up to us to choose to place our TRUST ON HIM with everything that happens in our lives and to know and believe that with His help we truly can overcome all things.

So, Today I invite you to say to yourself; I choose faith, Hope and Love. And when I do, my anxiety, worries and fears dissolve. My focus becomes centered on the highest good for my soul. I believe that all things are possible as I place my trust on the amazing love of a God who is ALL GOOD, ALL KNOWING, ALL POWERFUL & ALL LOVING.

I trust in His incredible blessings and I know that He walks the path of life with me and He will carry me through it all. ❤️ Every thought out of my mind and soul today will come from a place of LOVE. Love for God, Love for myself and Love for others. ❤️ TODAY I CHOOSE FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE.

Unfortunately I’m not feeling very well today and sadly I’m going to have to cancel class tonight. But I hope that you can still choose to do Something to strengthen yourself physically, spiritually and mentally. Focus on loving yourself, on giving yourself the best nutrition and on allowing yourself to have moments of peace and quiet to recharge your energy and your connection to God. This will allow you to handle the challenges of life with a perspective that’s more aligned to God and where you can focus more on His love for you than on fear, stress or anxiety. God loves you! ❤️ keep trusting, believing and all will be ok. You’ve got this! 😘❤️

He Fills My Cup ❤️

We often feel the need to fill our cups by others words or actions. We find ourselves seeking compliments, posting on social media “to get more likes” or finding ways to compare ourselves to others. We try to fill our cups in so many different ways, that we oftentimes don’t even notice the sources that are “filling up” our cups.

Sometimes we forget to disconnect from it all to try to remind ourselves that joy is already within us. That there’s no need to depend on others or to seek to fill ourselves by looking for joy through outside sources. Those things are only temporary, they’re never enough or fully satisfying. We just keep searching for more and end up in a constant cycle of just NEEDING more from others.

When we’re able to see that the only true acceptance and love that we need in this life is the love and acceptance of God. We’re better able to fill ourselves with His light and love. We’re able to love ourselves for who God sees we can become. We don’t become dependent on others to fill us or to make us feel good and happy each day.

Instead, we make it a daily priority to spend some time alone with God. To try to listen to Him, to connect to Him and to allow ourselves to be open to His wisdom and guidance for our lives. We can allow Him to show us the path of true happiness for our lives. We can ask Him daily to help us focus and place our heart and minds on the priorities and the truly important things we should focus on each day.

We can ask Him to help us keep our cups full and overflowing each day. We can focus on feeling His love and peace so that we may be able to be GIVERS from our overflow. This will allow us to not be so dependent on our circumstances or on taking from others. But instead, it will allow us to flow in the abundance and the love of God daily. ❤️ By turning our attention to God and aligning our desires to His, we will be reminded that we serve a God that is full of LOVE, even to overflowing! Even in the hardest times of our lives we can feel that love if we choose to focus on it. We honor a God who is a God of abundance, health, healing and power. He provides enough to feed us and take care of us ONE DAY AT A TIME.

As we focus our attention, heart and mind on Him. We will begin to notice that we won’t be so dependent on others or on the physical things of this world to fill us. Instead, we can place our trust in a God that is the same yesterday, today and forever. WE HAVE THE CHOICE of being able to FOCUS ON HAVING OUR CUPS FULL DAILY!

God wants us to practice finding the joy and fullness from what He provides Daily. We can focus on daily gratitude and allow ourselves to stay in that state of gratitude throughout the day. God will always the ONLY CONSTANT in our lives, He is the one who will always be there no matter what. He knows every detail of what we’re meant to gain from this life and He know when it’s our time to leave this earth, there’s no one better to place our trust on, than Him. He is the ONLY ONE WHO BRINGS TRUE PEACE, LOVE & JOY. Enough to overflow our cup and to help us to give more to others. His love is always here and it’s available to those of us who SEEK IT! As we’re able to focus on the good and on His blessings for our lives, we will be able to experience more of His love & Allow ourselves to enjoy His peace, confidence, fullness & strength that this knowledge brings into our lives.

I hope that you’re able to find this joy and peace in your life today. That your cup may be full and overflowing in God & that through Him you will accomplish what will be truly joyful and fulfilling for your life. ❤️

Trust in yourself, recognize your sources of “fulfillment” and ask yourself if these sources are the right ones to have. Try instead to focus on your daily blessings and on allowing yourself to focus on the good in your life. God will bless you for that.

Our Spiritual goal for the week is to focus on keeping our cups full. Each day as we encounter different circumstances, lets remind ourselves that we have the CHOICE to focus on the good. To focus on the blessings instead of all the difficulties. We can focus on seeing our life as an overflowing of blessings and the goodness from God. Let’s try to live daily with a prayer in our soul and a thankful heart. ❤️ Focusing on the love of God, on His goodness for us today and trusting in Him who knows what’s best for our lives.

Our physical goal this week will be to remove the sugary drinks and drink more water. Can you make it a whole week just drinking water? 😉 We also want to make time to exercise even if it’s a small walk or anything each day and you get extra points for doing exercise outside. There are so many amazing benefits to being in nature! I hope that you can make it to class tonight at 6pm to do this for yourself. ❤️

I pray that this message touches your heart according to what God wants you to gain from it. May you find the strength within yourself to grow daily in your trust In God so that you may no longer depend on anyone else’s acceptance or anything else to fill you. Only depending and staying aligned on being filled by the God of Love, peace and light.

The more that we’re able to do this the more strength we will gain and the more that God will give us. So, Trust Him. Your cup will be full and overflowing each day if you CHOOSE to focus on it. 💛 “The Joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives.” Russell M. Nelson Trust in yourself and in your ability to trust in Him MORE! He’s taking care of it all. Keep your focus on the good, let your cup be full and overflowing each day & feel the difference. ❤️

Love,

Lili
