Gratitude Power

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

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

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

The more we’re able to practice gratitude the more we will invite joy into our lives. And Practicing is the part that will really change our lives.

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

So, If you’ve been feeling stressed and overwhelmed please take a moment to stop what you’re doing, to have a second to just close our eyes and to take a few deep breaths….Just taking a moment to be thankful for this simple ability to take in a breath is all you need to focus on.

With each breath that comes into our body we can experience deeper and deeper feelings of gratitude for all that we have and for all that we’ve received from God. We can allow those breaths to strengthen us and to renew and energize our body, our mind and our spirit. Remember, focus on your blessings. You’re in charge of controlling how you feel and what to focus on. Let it be for your benefit and for your inner peace.

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

St. John 14: 18 says
I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
One of the ways in which we can feel the comfort of God is by expressing gratitude to Him and by being willing to trust in the promise that He will never leave us comfortless. Gratitude will allow us to open our eyes to see more of the blessings that God has given us and in return It will allow us to strengthen our relationship with Him. We will be able to see our trust in Him more and we’ll be able to believe in His will and goodness for our lives. This will allow us to stop fearing and instead have more faith in Him and in ourselves. And once we’re able to do that we can then help Him to reach out to others in gratitude to testify of His goodness and to be a light and a blessing to those around us.

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

CLASS IS CANCELED TODAY but we will be back next week ready to do something awesome for our Body, Mind and Spirit.

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

Our physical goal is to cut out the sugary drinks and to drink more water instead. We’ll also try to exercise at least 3 days this week.

TODAY, FOCUS ON THE THINGS THAT MATTER MOST, BE GRATEFUL AND TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME. You’ve got this!

Love,

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, it’s placed there with love. There is wisdom in the words of God, and I believe that someday He will 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 with Him. That we may remember that through it all we can 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.

Gos is a God of love and of Joy. He wants us to choose more Joy! That’s why He sent us here. His purpose for us is to be joyful. Christ sacrificed himself for us looking forward to the joy that His sacrifice would bring to all humanity. The opportunity for us to repent, to return to Him. The plan of God for us is based on his love and Joy for his children. We can choose today to be more joyful and to look for the joy in all circumstances that we may be in or focus on the hope of Joy we can have as we overcome our challenges and difficulties. We can train ourselves to focus on the good, on love, peace and the joy that can come living a life with God daily.

President Russell M. Nelson said; “The joy we feel has little to do with “the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives,” As we focus on keeping God at the center of our lives, praying and strengthening our relationship with Him. We will experience the true and lasting joy that surpasses any material or worldly possessions we may gain. True and lasting joy comes from God. & it will strengthen us and fill us each day of our lives.

Our goal for the week is to FOCUS ON JOY. We can practice choosing joy in this very moment. We have to PRACTICE feeling joy and inviting more of it into our lives.

Find joy in living yourself, in choosing things that bring you joy daily. Be joyful in your activities, while you exercise choose to be joyful in the moments when you’re taking care of yourself and others. Even choosing joy while you clean or do the daily tasks. Practice it! Try it out and notice how much better you feel.

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

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

Love,

Faith Over Fear

Faith and fear can have the same power in our body. We just have to choose which one we want to hold on to. We can’t have Faith and Fear at the same time, one will always overpower the other one. We are get to choose daily if we want to focus on faith or if we will allow fear to control our thoughts, emotions and actions.

We already know that the path of fear brings even more stress, anxiety, heartaches, insecurity and it’s negative effects also negatively affect our health.

So, why should we choose Faith? God put us on this earth for us to learn form our experiences. He is testing us to see if we will do all the things that He has asked us to do. One of those things is to learn to walk by Faith. We must learn in this life to rely on Him DAILY & to place our full trust in God. He wants to change our hearts ♥️ So that we may learn to set aside the fear and to come to Him with full trust, believe & faith in Him. This is one of the greatest accomplishments that we can have in our lives. Can you imagine confronting all of your fears, anxieties and stresses coming from a place of Faith over fear?

Have you thought about how faith works? Faith is what makes everything happen. Think about the smallest little things we do daily. Before every single action there’s a thought and a desire to do something. We believe that we can do that action and we actually go and do it. 🙂 It’s that moment of BELIEVING that creates our daily actions. It’s because, we believe that we actually try to do the action.

Because we have that FAITH and believe that the results to our actions will come. For example; Would we plant ? if we didn’t think we could reap? Would we try to ride a bike if we didn’t think we could do it? Etc…It’s the belief that WE CAN, that makes it possible for us to reap the benefits.

So, basically we use faith daily without even knowing it. We just forget to put it to use on the bigger things that come into our lives. Which is exactly what God is waiting for us to do. To trust Him in BIGGER & GREATER WAYS! & to witness what we can do ANYTHING with His help.

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

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

See how God has given us a promise? He is a God that doesn’t lie. If he promises to be with us, then He will be with us. It is only up to us to believe HIM and to open up the way for Him to work His promises and miracles in our lives.

We have to trust His words and be ready and prepared to do them. 🙂 If we search the words and promises of God we will see that He doesn’t give us a spirit of fear (because it’s the adversary that uses fear against us & to STOP us from progressing..) God uses FAITH! Power, Hope & belief to push us toward our progression.

He tells us in Isaiah 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

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

When we fully trust in Him we will be able to see more clearly the miracles in our lives. We will be able to be a light to others and to be the strength that they need during their difficult times.

As we make it a priority to experience God more fully and completely in our lives, we will be better able to testify of His goodness, power and mercy. Others will be able to see God through us because of the way in which we practice living more by faith and not by fear. & we will also be able to light the path of others and be open to seeing the light that others have to offer to us as well.

As we allow ourselves to trust God in our daily tasks, activities and overwhelming or stressful moments the more we will be able to feel His love for us. We will be better able to choose better thoughts, actions and emotions for us and we will be able to feel lighter knowing that we’re trusting in Him for all that we do & our actions are dedicated to Him and to the Love and trust that we have for Him.

It will take some practice and a daily reminder for us to come from Faith and not Fear. But it’s doable and we can continue to grow and strengthen our faith muscles. Remember of course that faith without works is dead. So we must put in the work necessary and the ACTION to move toward the right direction or that desire that God would want us to focus on and keep in our hearts.

Having faith directing us daily will impact our lives and trickle down to all areas of our lives. We will come from a place of faith and and doing the work in all of the areas of our lives and we will experience first hand the POWER OF FAITH working, GROWING stronger and STRONGER in our lives. Even to the point where we will witness miracles and the amazing power of God flowing in our daily lives.

I hope that we can feel strengthened by the faith that is already within us. That we may let it grow and allow it to take over and renew our mind, heart and soul. That we may practice trusting in God more and know that ALL things will work together for our good.

Remember that today God loves you! He cares for you and He wants you to grow in spirit. He wants you to CHOOSE to do it for yourself and remember that He promised to help you through it all. It requires our alignment to Faith and letting fear go because we know in whom we trust.

So, just for today practice trusting Him. Give Him your negative thoughts and emotions and change them to be aligned with your Savior and your Father in Heaven. What would they tell you about your problems? What would they want you to believe today? Try it for yourself and you will see and feel Him with more clarity in your life. We are children of God, lived and created by the god who is full of love, light and peace. Faith is part of our divine DNA & we can strengthen it and allow it to be with us one day at a time.

Today we gain strength because we live by Faith and not by fear.

Our spiritual goal for the week is to let go of fear and live by Faith. We can talk to Him daily and ask Him for guidance to know what to do, and how to respond to the challenges we may be facing. We can then listen and follow the promptings that He speaks to our heart and mind. His voice is peaceful, calm, full of love, we just have to make the time to talk to Him and listen to what we feel from that Higher wisdom on how to react to all things. You’ve got this. Just believe in Him and in yourself.

Our physical goal for the week is to make time for exercise and to choose healthy snacks and foods that we know are good for us. Exercise helps us in so many ways. It lifts our mood, helps us release stress and allows us to get stronger and healthy.

We just have to motivate ourselves to do good things for our body, Mind and Soul. Hope that you can make it to class tonight at 7pm to renew and strengthen yourself physically, mentally and spiritually.😊

Remember our spiritual goal for this week is to live by faith and not by Fear. So, leave the fear at home and come in faith knowing that you will gain something wonderful from this class. I hope that you can make it! Even if it’s just to come and meditate at the end. It will all help you to relax and allow your mind to be calm and to feel renewed in every way.

Also, if your heart tells you to invite others whom God has put in your heart that may benefit from class, please invite them to come with you. I know that we will all benefit from it and we’ll leave feeling AMAZING! Peaceful & ready to do our best and to TRUST GOD for the rest of the week. Make it happen for yourself and feel the difference, especially in the moments that you need it most.

Hope to see you tonight!

Love,

Lili

Be Kind To Yourself

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. 💪🏼🥰💛

Love,

Lili 🌸

Our physical goal for the week is to nourish our body with foods that will be nutritious and good for us. Lets try to slow down on how much sugar we take or how much junk food or processed food we’re eating. 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. Hope that you can make it Tonight @ 7:00pm because you choose to do this for yourself today 😉 It’s not always an easy choice & some of us would rather stay home and eat cookies and watch movies 😉 haha But our choices is what makes the difference. So, make it happen for yourself today and you’ll see that you won’t regret it and instead you’ll leave feeling better than before class. Stronger and more at peace with yourself and the world around you.

Hope that you can come strengthen yourself. Your body, Mind and Spirit & feel the difference. Don’t forget to take it one day at a time and to do your best just for today! You’ve got this! BELIEVE IN YOURSELF & BELIEVE IN GOD. & all things will work out for your good.

Be Still My Soul

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. ❤️

Love,

Lili

I Can Do All Things Through Christ.

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.

Love,

Lili

Divine Inner Peace

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.

Love,

Lili

You’re the creator

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!

Love,

Lili

Hold On

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. ❤️

Love,

Lili
