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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hope that you can make it to class tonight at 7:00PM! Our goal is to release stress, strengthen our Body and renew our Mind and our Spirit through meditation & relaxation. If you feel like you need it, please motivate yourself to be there and to do something good like this for yourself today. It is a gift that will benefit YOU! You’ll leave feeling amazing and you won’t regret it. Plus, we’ll be able to see each other and to renew our energy together. Invite whoever you want & hope to see you there! ❤️🥰

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

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

Love,

TODAY, FOCUS ON THE THINGS THAT MATTER MOST, BE GRATEFUL AND TAKE IT ONE MOMENT AT A TIME. ONE CHOICE AT A TIME, ONE DAY AT A TIME. HAVING AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE FOR ALL THAT SURROUNDS YOU AND SUPPORTS YOU WILL CHANGE YOUR DAY COMPLETELY.

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

I felt this incredible peace from the Lord letting me know that the feeling of Overwhelm is closely related to fear. Maybe the fear of not knowing what’s gonna happen? The fear of not being able to accomplish all the things, maybe fear of what the world would think, the opinions of others or the fear of feeling less than. Fear and overwhelm are closely connected. I never thought of that!

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

Some of the things we can ask ourselves are.

▫️Do these thoughts feel true to me?

▫️Are they really true?

▫️How do I feel when I think these thoughts

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

▫️Can I resolve this problem?

▫️Is this something I can control?

▫️Would God speak to me this way?

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

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

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

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

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

I can’t imagine Jesus walking around the earth feeling stressed and overwhelmed. Instead I can imagine Him feeling centered, peaceful, focused and most importantly trusting and knowing that each hour is spent according to inspiration that the Father would want him to have. Christ trusted in the Father. So, we should try each hour and each day to trust in Christ and in the Father as well. They both LOVE US! that’s why the Savior gave His life for us! They want us to overcome evil with good! Notice how our thoughts can unfortunately become evil. The more we think the thoughts the more negative talk we project the more feelings of overwhelm that we allow the more frustration, anger, anxiety, impatience stress, and all of those negative thoughts take control over us. ALL OF THOSE ARE FEELINGS THAT ARE NOT OF GOD. 🙁

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

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

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

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

As we take time daily to stop and quiet our minds we will be better able to recognize the thoughts that are coming. Sometimes we can even write them down to check and see how true they really sound once they’re written down. Being able to check our thoughts is something that God wants us to learn while we’re on this earth. OUR DIVINE SPIRIT CAN GUIDE OUR MIND TO DIVINE THINKING. So, it’s up to us to stop, breathe, spend some quiet time alone and turn our thoughts to God and allow him to bring us the peace that we need.

Remember to let go of overwhelm or whatever thoughts are disrupting your peace. Take a minute for yourself. Breathe through your thoughts of and invite God to bring your peace and a feeling of calm to allow you to feel his light and his love to cover you completely. Trust in your ability to turn away from the thoughts that don’t help you to instead turn then into thoughts that God would want you to have. Live in the moment. Focus on today. Speak good thoughts to your mind. Give yourself word of affirmations and words to remind you that You are a child of God with divine potential and the ability to focus on the thoughts that God would want you to have. God has a perfect plan for you. Trust that He has you in His hands. He will continue to have you, take care of you and provide for you.

Hope that you can join us tonight to release stress, do something amazing for our physical body and also allow ourselves to help our minds find peace and renew our minds to be strong daughters of God. 💪🏼😌💖

With everything going on in our world, and the different challenges that we all face, It’s easy to allow the chaos of it all to increase and cause greater emotional stress, fear and anxiety.

We see that not only is our peace affected, but new research has also shown that our levels of addictions or ways to nimble our emotions is also increasing. Have you noticed that the world as a whole is having a harder time controlling their feelings, thought and emotions? Sadly, we all try to look for ways to “numb” the emotional stress that surrounds us.

We resort to food, our phones, TV, shopping, wanting compliments or validation on social media, we obsess over our physical appearance, use entertainment, substances and many other activities that seem harmless at first, but little by little become the ways in which we buffer our emotions.

Can you see how we’re slowly becoming more and more dependent on outside sources to bring us inner peace? Most of the time we don’t even realize how much we’re allowing those things to control our emotional state, or how we’re “numbing the discomforts” of life which little by little dims our inner peace. The world would rather numb the emotions rather than to ever sit in silence with them. We’re all too afraid to sit and feel things.

This week I want to motivate you and encourage you to push past the discomfort & take a deeper look within yourself. Remember that this will most likely not feel comfortable at first and you may be tempted to grab your phone or turn on the TV, or call a friend to gossip or whatever else we try to do to get out of fully sitting for a moment and just feeling.

The goal is to honestly sit quietly if possible in a peaceful place, and just take a moment to breathe and to feel whatever is going inside. Try to take a moment to bring to your attention the things that you honestly know that you use to “numb” your emotional discomfort. Think about what comes up for you. If possible make a list to check those things. Do you reach for your phone or food or something else when you’re uncomfortable or angry, stressed etc? What are the things you reach for first? Do they bring you peace? Or how do you feel afterwards? These are all questions that we rarely ask ourselves. It it’s important to notice what happens to our inner peace. How do we let us be affected and what do we do to “cope” with the discomfort.

Once you’re able to practice this for a moment. Remember that YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PROTECTING YOUR INNER PEACE. The outside sources or circumstances don’t have to affect you unless you allow it to do so. Taking a moment to feel your emotions and recognizing what you’re making things mean to yourself is so important.

So, take a moment to breathe, to check on your emotions and to change them for the better. I’ll share some tips in class about this tonight. Give yourself love, compassion and be proud of your ability to look inward without the need of outside sources to allow you to check in yourself, feel the emotions and clear the internal chaos to RETURN TO PEACE OFTEN.

Set a goal for yourself this week that you will be your inner peace keeper. Try to allow the quiet moments you have to connect to that higher source of peace and love which comes from God, to help you focus on your internal light and peace instead of what the world wants you to focus on. Your ability to practice this will change everything for you and the way in which you view yourself and your ability to retain your peace Internally will increase. The choice is yours.

Remember that God invites each of us to fully place our trust on HIM. He is the prince of peace, who invites our souls to receive true, long lasting and eternal peace.

John 14:27 Says: “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”❤️ 

God wants us to rely on Him so that we may not be troubled or afraid. Whatever is troubling you today, Whatever is bringing you fear or frustration….Take a moment to sit with those feelings and if possible view them from a distance. Recognizing each emotion and how it presents in your body. For example; “This is anger, my chest or throat feel tight..etc” “O want to release this emotion and allow myself to come to calm” invite peace and breathe into those areas until fully calm. Remember also to allow yourself to speak to God as you release those feelings and allow Him to take it from you. He will remove those emotions and replace your thoughts with What a loving God would tell you. Allowing yourself to invite His peace and love to renew you and to recharge your heart and soul. So, trust Him. That is where the greatest peace can come from. Being at peace with God is lasting & strengthening peace for the soul. ❤️

So, set the goal for yourself to NOTICE what you’re using to buffer your emotions. Take some deep breaths appreciating your awareness, and move forward with focus on inviting greater greater inner peace into your mind, heart and soul today. Make time to strengthen your relationship with God who is the Father of PEACE. He will allow you to be filled hour by hour, one day at a time.

Our Spiritual goal this week is: To gain greater inner peace. To be the KEEPER OF OUR PEACE! The PROTECTOR or our peace and to have the wisdom to know where your peace comes from Lean on your ability to invite inner peace and on receiving that from God instead of leaning on anything else.

Our Physical goals is to exercise at least 2-3 times this week and to give our body more water and healthy nutrient rich foods. ❤️

Hope To see you in class tonight at 7pm. Make this promise to yourself to do this for your Body, Mind and Spirit. This will allow you to release stress, strengthen yourself Physically, emotionally and spiritually. We will also practice how to be the keeper of our peace during a peaceful meditation. Hope that you can make it and feel the difference.

Love,

Lili

We may feel that we can’t control our thoughts and emotions sometimes. But the more that we practice taking control of what we think and how we react to things the better we will be able to handle life and it’s ups and downs. This week & tonight in class we will talk about how nothing from the outside can affect us internally UNLESS we allow it to do so. It’s all a chain reaction which begins with the events that we experience and the opportunity that we have to CHOOSE our thoughts & how to react to the situations that happen in our lives.

The equation is:

EVENT + RESPONSE (or Thought) = OUTCOME

We have the opportunity to choose how we will respond to everything that we experience. It’s always up to us to decide what we allow to enter our minds. Our reaction will determine the outcome which we will experience. That is why we must always ask ourselves; “Do I want a positive outcome from this negativity situation I’m experiencing? How can this situation strengthen me instead of weakening me? What can I do to react in a way that will bring a positive outcome to my life?”

It’s amazing that we have the power to choose to not allow outside sources to control how we feel internally. We often forget that we have that power which we unfortunately give away to others or to outside sources to control us. It’s as if we hand someone else the “control” of our power. We must remember that it’s a gift and our responsibility to be able to choose what to focus on and how to take control of OUR power. We must learn to want to protect the power that we have to CHOOSE and WITH THAT CHOICE BE ABLE TO REACT OR RESPOND TO EVERY SITUATION IN A POSITIVE MANNER. 

We can focus on making our thoughts stronger, using positive affirmations and to helping ourselves remain internally peaceful and less affected by the outside things that we experience. It takes practice, but the more that we’re able to exercise that choice and power to strengthen our thoughts, the happier we will be and the more in control of ourselves we will feel. The power is there! We just have to choose wether we use it to help us positively or negatively in our lives.

We can change our thoughts. We can train our brain to take a new pathway. With practice, our negative thoughts can change into thoughts that are uplifting, edifying and that bring us strength in the moment when we need it most. If we have a hard time with our thoughts or we feel affected by the outside sources or situations that we experience, we can turn to God to ask Him for help. He can make our minds more peaceful, powerful and positive by becoming more centered or focused on coming to Him. He knows what’s in our hearts, He knows our thoughts, our goals and desires. We just have to trust that He will help us. 

He has said;

Yea, I tell thee, that thou mayest know that there is none else save God that knowest thy thoughts and the intents of thy heart. (D&C 6:16)

He knows the things that we want to work on and to do better on. He knows how we feel more than anyone else! He knows how we can overcome our challenges and difficulties. As we’re willing to listen to Him and to follow what He would like us to do, He will help us to be stronger and to focus our minds on being more Positive & capable of choosing what is best for us. Remind yourself daily and even in this very moment. “God loves ME” He wants to help me! I can feel His love I’m all living things around me. I can go to Him and He will be there for me.” It’s in His nature to want to help because He is good, caring and loving. He has a plan and a purpose for each one of us. We just have to remember that this earth is our school for us to learn to choose all kinds of things. 

Most importantly, I believe that God wants us to learn how to manage thoughts or the things that we allow to remain and grow in our mind. Thoughts turn into emotions ➡️feelings ➡️actions and eventually results. If we want to change our results. We must first begin with our thoughts. 

The things we experience in our lives can either teach us and help us or harm us and make us negative and unhappy. The choice is always ours. The more that we’re able to recognize our power of control, the opportunity to choose to remain in control of ourselves. The more willing we become to stop turning to the world for recognition or advice and instead we will become more willing to turn to God. To listen to the feeling that He’s able to place in our hearts & to be more willing to follow and take the action that will be most beneficial to our mind, heart and soul. As we come to God to ask him to help us with our thoughts, we will become more receptive His love, power, peace and guidance for our lives.

Our strength can’t always come from us. We need divine help in our lives more often than we think. As children of God we have access to that help as we search for it and as we’re willing to listen & follow that higher wisdom. God’s goal is to have strong children on this earth who know their potential, value and power as children of God. Children who know that they have access to the help, love and peace that our Father in Heaven is able to provide. Children of God who feel confident in their ability to choose good thoughts, feelings and actions. We can do this! Lets Trust in His love, believe in Him and in what we can do for ourselves with His divine help. Trust in your own internal power to choose the good for your life. Remember that you’re just a thought away from feeling happy, thankful, peaceful and joyful. 

Our spiritual goal for the week is to be aware of our thoughts and our internal power. To not allow outside sources to affect us internally but instead to remember our potential as children of God and who we can become. Be strong and choose the thoughts that will bring the best outcome for your life.

Our physical goal for the week is to remove one bad item from our diet. It can be soda, sugary drinks, fast food, chips or sugary treats. Just choose one or 2 items to remove that can help your health and strengthen your body.

Hope to see you tonight at 7pm to do something amazing for your BODY, MIND & SPIRIT. We will get rid of stress, strengthen ourselves and have an amazing meditation to remind us of our inner power. 

Don’t forget that God will return the good that we do in our lives and our joy will be even greater in knowing that God is pleased with our thoughts, feelings and our actions. Doing these things will only bring peace, happiness and positivity into our lives. you’re not alone, God is with you and will make you stronger! Do your best TODAY. Just focus on ONE DAY AT A TIME. He will help you. He will guide you and be there to comfort you, strengthen you and fill you with His divine love. 

Love,

Lili

Our world is surrounded by negativity. Wars, fights, discouragement, impatience and a lack of love toward self and others. Sadly, this negativity is also in our minds and hearts. We constantly compare ourselves to others or we focus on what we lack or on the problems that we’re experiencing rather than on our blessings or the good that we have.

Each morning we have an opportunity to choose what to focus on. We can choose to pick up our phones, watch the news, think about all of the terrible things going on in the world and fill our thoughts up with negativity. Or we can choose to turn to God and invite His light to be with us. To think about what we’re thankful for and to rejoice in the blessings that we’re able to have TODAY. Whatever we choose to focus on will have its consequences.

Mathew 6:22-29 says; The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.

How important is it for us to CHOOSE to fill ourselves up with light? Can we see that what we read, watch, listen to, and speak about ourselves and others really does affect us.

I want to encourage you today to test this out for yourself. Choose to invite light into your mind, heart and soul. No matter what is going on or the difficulties that you may be experiencing today…Just take a moment to close your eyes, breathe deeply and place your hands on your heart. Focus on inviting the light of God to come into your heart. Then, allow that light to flow into your mind to calm your thoughts. & finally allow it to fill your entire soul, until you feel your whole self being filled with God light flowing through you. 💛

You can also take a moment to write down what you feel after doing that exercise. Maybe you can make a list about the things that bring light into your mind, body & soul. This is one of the ways that we can come to better know ourselves and to be prepared next time the darkness tries to get us. We can keep our “First Aid kit Of Light” ready to help us when we need it.

Some of the things that help me invite light into my life are: Taking moments to be silent, turning off distractions to genuinely be able to communicate with God and be preset. I also know that reading the word of God, meditating, listening to good music, reading uplifting messages, spending time in nature and journaling also bring that light into my life. & Finally doing service or spending time in places or with people that uplift me and love me is another way to bring in that light into my life. So, think about the things that bring that light within you. And take a moment to write them down so that you can see them clearly.

Once you have your list and you’re able to recognize those things that invite the light of God into your life. Then, try to keep that list on your phone or somewhere where you can see it often. That way when you feel the darkness creeping in, you can choose one or more of those things to help you get back on the path of light.

Another important things for us to recognize is the power of our thoughts. Unfortunately, It’s part of our human biology that we focus on the negative more than the positive. This is because focusing on the “threats” helped us to survive. The problem is that sometimes our thoughts are out of control and even if we don’t have an actual threat, we still consider everything a threat and we live in a constant state of panic or fight or flight mode.

We need to remember to retrain our thoughts. This takes practice, but we can try to make this our our daily goal. I invite you today to remember that when negative thoughts enter your mind or when you think of someone who has hurt you etc..To please take a moment to recognize the thought, to ask yourself if this thought is really true or what God would tell you about that thought & to speak to your mind and say to yourself “I CHOOSE TO FOCUS ON THE LIGHT”. I invite the light of God to be with me and I surround myself by light and I send light to that person as well.

In the Gospel of John, Jesus declares, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (John 8:12). These beautiful words from our Savior remind us that through Christ, we can overcome darkness. Through learning of Him and inviting His light into our lives we can be filled with light. Even enough to purify and cleanse our thoughts, our mind and spirit.

I pray that you may feel this desire within you to focus on the light of God and to allow His light to recharge, renew and strengthen all areas of yourself . So that you may be better able to RECOGNIZE the darkness and how the enemy tries to keep you down. (Be awake and recognize the ways in which the enemy works on you) it’s important that as children of God we recognize that and fight against it with the light of our Father in Heaven that we also possess. 💛

To focus on knowing that there is a God who LOVES YOU! & wants the best for you. A God who wants to remind you of your divine light ☀️ so that you may feel His love daily and allow others to feel that as well.

So, remember that all that is good comes from God. Light comes from God. He wants you to feel that light daily. Reach for it and hold on to it. Recognize what helps you to feel it in your life and invite it to be with you your by your.

Remember that light will always overpower darkness. There’s nothing you can’t do without Christ by your side. Focus on that light, take a hold of it, believe in Him & in yourself. 💛

Love,

Lili 🌸

Ps: Class will start again next week! I can’t wait for us to strengthen ourselves again Physically, mentally and spiritually. Our goal for the week is to focus on light and to invite that light to all of our choices even to influence what we eat and what we choose to do for our mind, body and spirit. Love you all and see you soon! 🫶🏼

Our lives can be either driven by our schedules or by spirit. They can be driven by the constant chatter of our minds or by a place of calm. They can be driven by impulse or by wisdom.

Precious, sacred silence is one of our most essential friends. Our silent time reminds us of who we are and it gives us access to infinite wisdom from which we are guided when making our daily decisions. So why is it so difficult to write it on today’s schedule?

Many of us now have a spiritual practice during which we pray for assistance, read the word of God, meditate, focus on gratitude or find ways to inspire our heart. But as we know, the world pulls ferociously in different directions. It begs us to pay attention, to divide our time, to distract our focus and to be busier than it’s good for the soul.

It takes a mindful effort and awareness to revisit our priorities often, and make the time to connect with spirit. It’s the most important thing we will do in the day. And when we do it first, the rest of the day is driven by moments of intuition gained from connecting mindfully with the source of all love, peace and light.

This is not a duty or an effort. We don’t work to be more spiritually connected; it is who we are. All we have to do is set aside time to check in and to let the noise drop away for long enough to reveal the beauty and calm that resides within us. And if we can just hover there…open… For a moment without jumping in with a thought, within that stillness, is when we’re able to activate our soul’s wisdom.

Having a time during the day to calm the mind and still the soul can be a challenging practice. But that is one of those things that will have lasting consequences in our lives. We deserve to create moments of internal peace for ourselves. Moments to gain higher intuition and guidance. The rewards of doing this for ourselves will reach across all aspects of our being. Every day is a good day to begin learning or to recharge our practice. It’s always better to have progress over perfection.

Our goal for this week is to create more peaceful moments, to quiet our minds, be still and listen. We can ask for inspiration, breathe and take a moment to write down what we feel. As we’re able to keep those notes throughout the week, we will see that God does speak to us. Directly to our heart ♥️ That internal peace is always available to us. Silence and peace can become our new friend. God wants to remind us that we can create moments to be still, to Still our souls and to know that He is God. Invite more of that light and wisdom into your day and you’ll feel the difference.

May we quiet our words, calm our thoughts, soften our hearts and still our souls daily, so that we may listen, be open and receive. And most importantly, let spirit lead.

Hope that you can make it to class tonight at 7PM to give yourself the gift of strengthening your Body Mind and Spirit. Come release stress and negativity & allow yourself recharge and renew. You’ll feel amazing, you’ll be proud of yourself and you won’t regret it.

Unfortunately Class will be Cancelled for the next 6 weeks. But we will return to I person class in March. For now, do your best to take care of your body, mind and spirit. Remember that God loves you, He wants to hear from you! So, notice His hand in your life and thank Him for your many blessings. He will guide you on what to focus on each hour of your day. & don’t forget that you can do all things the Christ who strengthens you.

Love,

Lili

I recently remembered an experience that I had teaching a group of kids ages 8 to 11. After exercising, we tried to quiet our minds and bodies for a moment. I encouraged them to take a moment to feel gratitude for the body that God has given them. To think about how amazing their bodies are, the way they work and the ability that we have to move, exercise and to even be able to choose what thoughts to have. Our bodies and minds are a blessing that we often take for granted.

During the meditation portion of the class, I asked the kids to close their eyes and FOCUS on allowing their bodies to relax. To just feel their breath & be in a moment of gratitude.

I guided them through a meditation where I asked them to see themselves in the most beautiful and peaceful place they could think of. I encouraged them to focus on visualizing themselves being the in the presence of God. To allow themselves to be open to feeling a hug from Him and to truly try to listen to what God was telling each of them individually.

I then opened my eyes for a moment to check on the kids and noticed that some of the kids were smiling! Others looked focused and peaceful. I was even able to notice a little girl who had tears coming down her face. I realized at that moment that each child in that room who wanted to feel God had an opportunity to personally connect to Him. I realized that if each one of us chooses to connect to God and focuses on that, we can definitely feel Him too! It was a beautiful experience for me to see how God is able to provide what each soul needed at that very moment. The kids were able to connect to Him and to each personally have their own experience with God in that very moment.

I then asked the kids to guard and treasure in their hearts the feelings and the words that were coming to them from God. I know that when we’re truly wanting to feel God and we come to Him with that full purpose and real intent in our hearts, He will make Himself known unto us. He will bring peace to our hearts and let us know He is there.

After the meditation I asked the kids to gently open their eyes. I could feel the peace and light in the room. I asked them what they felt or what they could see, and one little girl smiled and said: “ I CAN STILL SEE JESUS even with my eyes open” I thought wow! Wouldn’t it be amazing if we all could “see” Jesus even with our eyes open?!” Could the focus of this very hour be placed on the Savior? Could we try to see the hand of God in this day? & in this very moment know that He is present in our lives?

I felt at that moment that I want my focus to be placed more on Christ and less on fear, complaining or focusing in the things that are not going right or that we may be lacking etc. I want to focus more on trusting and believing in Him rather than not seeing Him in my day to day life.

After the activity was over, I gave that same little girl a ride home. As I was driving she pointed out the window and said: “Look at those beautiful red flowers!!! 🌹 Isn’t God amazing? He made them so bright and pretty!”…We talked about how hard it would be to describe that bright color red to someone who is blind?! It was impossible to come up with the right words to describe that color and beauty. We talked about how blessed we are to be able to see the beauty of those flowers and all of the things that God created.

The words form that sweet little girl, have stayed with me ever since I hear them. “I can still see Jesus even with my eyes open!” So now, I’m trying to focus the “lenses of my vision” on noticing God more around me. I’m trying to purposely change my thoughts and to direct them more toward God. To ask Him to help me, guide me and inspire me to see Him and feel Him hour by hour.

I invite anyone who is able to read this message to change your focus and try it out at least for today to see if you feel differently. But to purposefully try to focus more on seeing the hand of God in your life today. To focus on gratitude, Joy and peace rather than focusing on stressing out about all kinds of things that may be going on. Today, I’m choosing to keep my eyes open to Him. To feeling God, being present with Him and allowing Him to light the hours of my day from one moment to the next.

I invite you to choose to focus on seeing God and focusing on giving all things to him. HE IS BIGGER AND GREATER THAN ANY OF YOUR PROBLEMS. HE WILL HELP YOU AND TAKE CARE OF YOU. Allow yourself to be open to feeling him close to you and around you. Trust in the God who is able to remove your burdens, your pain and instead allow yourself to feel the pure love that God has just for you.

I pray that as we practice this goal of changing what we focus on, that we will be able to change how we feel, how we spend our time and the energy that we put into each moment of our day. So, remind yourself today and say to yourself; “God will help me. He is loving, kind and a giver of good gifts. It’s in His nature to want to comfort me and provide for me. So I come to Him with a pure heart and with Faith knowing that He will take care of me moment bu moment. He will show me what to focus on and allow me to see Him even with my eyes open.” 💛

Hope to see tonight at 7:00pm to allow our minds and bodies to release stress and to focus on renewing ourselves mentally, physically and spiritually. Don’t forget that we’re the ones who need to dig deep and find the motivation to do this for ourselves. 💪🏼🥰 Try to remind yourself of the reasons WHY you want to exercise, release stress and calm your mind through prayer and meditation. Just show up and I promise that you’ll leave class feeling way better than before you got there. You’ll go home feeling peaceful, renewed and filled with positive energy.

I hope that you can make it and invite others to benefit as well. ❤️

You’ve got this! God and His divine light are all around you to fill you completely and give you energy and strength. keep going and doing your best. 💪🏼🥰❤️🙏🏼

Love,

As this New Year begins we may have all kinds of goals that we set for ourselves. It’s great to set goals but sometimes we want to work on everything all at once and goal setting can also feel overwhelming.

Today I want to remind you of the gift of being here at this very moment. A close friend of mine lost her mom unexpectedly yesterday. 🙁 It’s been heartbreaking for all of us who knew her mom. It’s during moments like this, when we realize that none of us are promised our tomorrow. We really don’t know how long we have here in earth & it’s important to remember that life should truly be lived and enjoyed one day at a time.

I believe that God wants us to be wise in the ways in which we use our time. Setting goals that are important and that align to God is more important than adding all kinds of stress and worries about things we can’t control. So, today, try to take a moment to slow down a little. Focus on the truly important things in your life and be grateful for the day that you have today. For the opportunity to start a New year, for the chance to focus your energy on goals that can lift you to a higher level. Remember that God doesn’t want you to figure everything out or run faster than you have strength. He just wants you to trust Him in your process of becoming one day at a time.

He wants each one of us to know that our life has a purpose. When God created us He had a plan in mind and a mission for each one of us to accomplish. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. God wants us to be hopeful, to trust Him and to do our best to accomplish His plans for us. He’s not asking us to figure everything out right now. Instead, He’s asking us to TRUST HIM and to trust in His plan for our lives.

Think of the ways in which you can trust more in God this year. How will you show Him that you’ll do that for Him? As we purposefully place our trust in Him & come closer to Him, our purpose will become clearer and He will be better able to guide us toward becoming who He desires us to become. ❤️

I promise that if you make it a daily goal to speak to God and seek for His wisdom, the Holy Ghost, who is the comforter, from the presence of God, will come upon you and bring you peace. Which is one of the best ways to feel God in our lives. The comforter will also bring us that assurance that God hears our prayers, is taking care of us and ALL will be ok.

As we choose to act on communicating with God and continue to have faith in God’s power, He will strengthen us individually and give us the daily wisdom for what we should focus our attention on each day. Remember that we can’t just wish for things to happen and that’s it. When we have faith in God we gain a stronger desire to ACT. We become more willing to put in the work necessary toward becoming who we are meant to be.

God said; “Whatsoever thing ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is good, in Faith believing that ye shall receive, behold it shall be done unto you.” (Moroni 7:26)

God is ready to bless us when we have a pure heart. We can seek Him and ask Him, BELIEVING that we will receive. How amazing is that? This is where our faith is tested & where God is able to show Himself in our lives.

Christ said; “If ye will have faith in me ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient in me.” (Moroni 7:33) That promise in His word, reminds us that we will have power through our faith to accomplish the desires of our hearts that align with the desires that God has for us. So, with our Faith in God, we’re better able to see more clearly which goals we should focus on and actually work on accomplishing them.

Having faith also allows us to act as if our goals are on their way. That belief and trust in God and in ourselves that we will make our goals possible with His help, will bring motivation. We can ask for daily wisdom to know what to focus on for this day, and we can move forward toward accomplishing that goal.

Remembering to break down our goals into doable steps and do a little each day until we eventually accomplish the bigger goals we’ve set. The more that we’re able to accomplish the small things the more momentum we will have to accomplish the bigger things. Practice seeing yourself accomplishing your daily goals. Visualize yourself doing it and having divine help as you achieve what is in your heart. Allow yourself to feel yourself getting Healthier, stronger, becoming more peaceful, spiritually aligned to God and accomplishing what He needs you to do on this earth and with the time that we each have here. ❤️

When you have those days when notice yourself comparing where you are to where you want to be, focus on this one question: “What single, small decision can I make right now to move forward in my process of becoming? Write down your thoughts and feelings and be aware of what comes to your mind. That’s one way we can know which action to take.

Also, there may be times when we feel like giving up on our goals because we slipped or made a mistake. But remember to be kind to yourself, Don’t give up. Just take a moment to evaluate what led to the mistake or the negative thought and wether your process should be modified to help prevent it from happening in the future. If you know your goals are worth working toward you will keep trusting and moving forward with faith in God.

Remember that rather than focusing solely on the outcome of the goal, put your energy into the process of becoming. In a process, every moment is important. You can enjoy feelings of small daily successes. You can learn from setbacks, rather than treating them as signs of failure. In a process of becoming you can find joy in each moment, you can be grateful for the opportunity to be a work in progress. You can remind yourself that it’s important to continue to LOVE YOURSELF and strengthen your relationship with yourself DAILY. Don’t forget to be compassionate and speak kindly to yourself. Trust that as long as you are working the process, which is an essential part of exercising faith in God, reaching your goal will be the natural outcome.

So, make it a point today to re-evaluate your goals. Think about what you’re working toward and what God wants you to place as your top priorities. Align yourself to that knowledge and that desire to work toward the things which are important.

Make a plan, start small, visualize and give yourself grace and the motivation that you need to accomplish each thing. If we really want something, we have to work toward it. The difference is that we will trust in God and with His help we can do ALL THINGS! We can even find pleasure and motivation in the work that we do on ourselves and on our daily goals. We can Find joy in this journey and move forward trusting and having faith in God and in yourselves. ❤️

How amazing is it that we can talk to our creator daily. That we can let Him know all that is going on in our heart & mind. How amazing that we can receive wisdom and power from the presence of God to accomplish what need to do for each day.

We don’t need to run faster than we have strength. We don’t need to feel overwhelmed. We can instead focus on asking God what to focus on today and go from there. Accomplishing our priorities and what God has put in our heart that day will bring peace and the assurance that we are truly doing the most important things and God will guide us with the rest. We will know that we are in His hands and all will be ok. 

The most Important goal we can accomplish in our lives, is to be able to have a relationship with God. To consider Him our friend. To seek His wisdom and have the ability to Hear Him and do what He asks. The only way to do this is to practice hearing Him daily and then GO & DO.

God will help us achieve our physical, spiritual, emotional or temporal goals. He knows what’s in our hearts and because He loves us and wants the best for us, HE WILL HELP US. TRUST HIM AND TRUST IN YOUR ABILITY TO DO THIS FOR YOURSELF. ❤️

With God all things are possible! You can do it! Count on Him, do your best & go for it. ❤️ HOPE, ACT & BECOME.

Our SPIRITUAL GOAL for the month is to accomplish a few small goals. Set 1 to 2 goals that you feel align with what God would want you to do. Break down the steps and set aside the time daily to act on them. Ask God in Faith to help you & get to work. Continue to give yourself daily grace. You can do it! Plus, God has promised the POWER for you to accomplish it. Stay motivated and make it it happen. ❤️

Our PHYSICAL GOAL for the week is to exercise at least 3 days and to eat as clean as we can. Choose nutrient rich snacks and try to remove the sugary drinks. Try to be conscious of your choices and the different things that are going into your body. Make it easy for yourself by having healthy snacks available so you don’t get super hungry and reach for the bag of chips in the pantry. Make the decision to help yourself. Track it if it helps you and you’ll notice the difference in your mood and energy. Your body will thank you for choosing good food 🙂 ❤️

Unfortunately CLASS IS CANCELLED TONIGHT. I have sick kiddos this week. But we’ll resume again next week. Do your best and focus on the important things today.

I pray that you feel inspired to reach out to God and seek His peace, strength and light today. I know He has helped me with this and I know He will do it for anyone who teaches up to Him.

Love you all and thank you for having a desire to keep God’s light flowing through you. He’s got you & I know you’ll Keep it going! 😉 Trust Him! Share your light with others & DO YOUR BEST ONE DAY AT A TIME. ❤️

Love,

Lili

This Christmas season is our opportunity to determine what we want to focus on. The world around us places so much pressure on gifts, on having the most perfectly decorated home and on running around and spending money we don’t have.

Oftentimes, we forget that this season brings with it an opportunity to slow down and re-focus our attention on the truly important things. Instead of being so focused on the external or material things that we want to buy etc. We can focus our attention on the importance of acknowledging the gifts that God has given us throughout the year. We can recognize the ways in which we’ve seen His hand in our lives and instead of focusing on receiving, we can turn our attention to giving.

The giving that God wants from us isn’t always materialistic or monetary. This Christmas I invite each one of us to give to God a few gifts from our heart. To turn our attention away from the world and focus on giving God a few gifts from our heart this Christmas.

One of the gifts we can give Him is to be grateful. To vocally express our gratitude to Him for all of the blessings He provides. We can also give God the gift of repentance. Taking an opportunity to ask God to forgive us for the ways in which we have failed or lacked love for ourselves or others.

We can also offer Him charity, by being kind to others and mending relationships with family members or others around us. We can give him our trust, we can give Him our faith. We can give Him our love by loving others and sharing with others in the way that He would want us to.

The Scriptures talk about this and how we can offer some of these gifts to God.

“Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

“When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

“Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

“And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” (Matt.25:37-40)

We can experience Gods love by serving Him and giving to others and also by being humble and willing to receive from others as well.

As we center our attention on truly celebrating the birth of Christ during this Christmas season, the gifts we can offer to God go beyond material possessions. We can present our hearts filled with faith, hope, and love.

Through prayer, we communicate with God, expressing gratitude for the gift of salvation and all that He provides for us daily! Even in this very moment.

Acts of kindness and charity become offerings, reflecting the teachings of Jesus. In our worship, we can offer the gift of time, acknowledging the divine significance of the season.

Let’s let our lives be living testimonies, embodying the values of Christ, as we present ourselves as offerings to God, acknowledging all of the good and the blessings that we have, and all that we’re willing to give to Him during this joyous time of the year.

Acknowledging the gifts that our Father in Heaven has given us and the gift that His son Jesus Christ gave for us when He chose to give His life for you and me, Is truly humbling. Our hearts should be turned to Him. We can choose for ourselves to give to God the gifts of our heart and soul.

Giving purely will fill our souls with more than anything else we may receive. Giving is truly better than receiving. ♥️ So, which gifts would you like to offer to God this week?

I pray that you’ll gain insight from this message and that you’ll be able to feel God’s immense love for you. You are not alone. ♥️ The giver of all good gifts is with you to support you and help you get through anything! Trust Him, believe in Him & try to give Him your best. You’ve got this!

Tonight will be our last class of 2023. Hope that you can make it to release stress, to do something amazing for your body and to enjoy a wonderful meditation that will re-charge you and re-new. I promise, that you’ll leave feeling better than before coming into this class. Let’s end the year the best was we can. 🙂 love you all and see you tonight!!

Love,

I want to Invite you right now to slow down for a minute and take a moment to breathe, take a few deeper breaths and to focus on re-charging your energy. Take a moment to notice the Divine light within you. Remember that God doesn’t want you to run faster than you have strength. So, make it a point to slow down a little and notice the divinity within you and around you.

Can you feel that light of God within you today? Can you see the Divine light in the animals, plants and people around you? We all have a soul, a divine inner light that connects us to our creator. We often go through life without thinking about all of the light that actually surrounds us. ☀️ We often close ourselves off to it. We allow the busyness, overwhelm and distraction to get in the way. We don’t take enough time during our day to SLOW DOWN & Just enjoy the little moments.

Instead we live our lives often running too fast, overdoing things, comparing ourselves to others, judging ourselves and focusing on our lack rather than focusing on what we’re blessed to have. We often use social media, tv, food, shopping and many other activities to buffer or numb our emotions. We’re not willing to sit with ourselves for a few minutes to just feel what is going on in our hearts to help ourselves process our pain, thoughts, energy and emotions.

We need to be able to teach ourselves to disconnect from all that our minds have going on, to just have a moment to slow down, to breathe and to connect to ourselves. The more we’re able to do that, the more we will get to know ourselves. The more comfortable we will become at feeling all kinds of emotions and helping ourselves to connect to God and return to feeling calm, peaceful and with an abundance of love. (Which is what that light within us is all about )

This practice of slowing down and noticing the light will impact all areas of our lives. As we practice noticing the light in each moment we will be able acknowledge the Divine light within us more often and the power that comes from it which RISES above our worries that may be temporary. We will also be better able to see that same divine light of God all around us in the eyes of our loved ones, the people we come in contact with, animals, plants and all other living things. Acknowledging the light in others helps us to connect to the divine light that is within all living things as well.

This Christmas season and throughout the New Year, I invite you to focus on the light. When we can focus on the light of God, we’re better able to invite more of it into our lives. We can forgive others with a sense of knowing that Gods Rivne light allows it to be easier for me to forgive and to see others in divine light too. We can also recognize with humility our mistakes, and know that there’s a loving God who is always ready to help us on our journey toward becoming a purer soul. He is ready to fill us with more light, he is ready to forgive us when we come to Him in humility. He is willing to give us more light if we desire to invite it and to see it more in our daily life.

OUR SOUL’S MISSION IS TO LEARN ABOUT THE DIVINITY WITHIN US AND ALLOW THAT DIVINITY TO EXPAND!!! So, let’s slow down a little and focus on seeing the divinity within ourselves and all around us. See that divine light in your family members, in the plants, animals and all living things. Recognize the light, bless it, welcome the light of God around you to come in and reside within you. Your light is already there. You just have to allow God to let you feel more of His light flowing through you.

Feel His peace and His love by being willing to NOTICE THE DIVINITY THAT FLOWS WITHIN YOU AND AROUND YOU. Allow yourself to invite more of the light and love of God to reside within you and around you today. Let go of the things that don’t help you or serve you and do your best to be present and to sense the spirit of all that is Divine around you. Allow your day to flow from an abundance of light. Notice that the light of God brings a calm confidence. Trust that you’re surrounded by that loving peace and abundance from God and that all of your needs will be met and you will be able to prioritize and focus on the truly important things. The things that matter. The things that have eternal importance.

I pray that today and this end of the year you practice letting go of the stress and instead focus on inviting more light to be with you. Remember that the light of the body begins with our eyes. And what we choose to see and focus on. Set your eyes on things that uplift, edify, build faith and remember to see the world around you with eyes that are focused on seeing the light of God. Try this for today and feel the difference.

If you need to release stress and re-center or re-charge yourself. I invite you to join this class tonight at 7pm. It won’t just help you physically, but it will also strengthen your mind and soul. You will experience a wonderful meditation to help you relax and align yourself to divine light. And you will leave feeling re-charged, renewed, peaceful and calm so that your focus can be re-centered during a time of the year when we need a little more of that. 🫶🏼

Our spiritual goal is to focus on the light of God within us and around us daily. Let’s allow His light to reside brightly within us to help us focus on gratitude and on taking each moment one step at a time in the direction that allows us to feel more of that light. Then, we will be better able to be a light to others as well. 🙂

Our physical goal is to take care of ourselves by exercising during the week and also thinking about the health goals that we want to accomplish. Let’s make it a goal to exercise a little daily. This will also help us get rid of stress. & Eating healthy will keep us having the right energy that our body needs to work optimally. So, try it and do your best each day to love yourself and take care of yourself. You deserve this! ❤️

Love you all and keep doing your best. Focus on the good and do your best to enjoy each day to the fullest. Thank you all for sharing your divine light with me! I’m blessed and so thankful to know each and every one of you. Can’t wait to see you tonight & for us to do this together! 💪🏼🥰

Love,

Lili
