Elevate Your Thoughts, Elevate Your Life! šŸ’–

I’ve been thinking a lot about how we sometimes get stuck on having the same thoughts and the same patterns and how we do the same things over and over. We seem to hold on to stories, grudges and pains for years and years.

We don’t question things, we just believe the thoughts that we have created about our situations and we continue to hold on to pain, dissatisfaction, disappointments, judgments etc. Unfortunately, we continue to choose to carry the pain, hurt and negative thoughts and feelings throughout our days and years.

Many of us experience different challenges and circumstances. Maybe we have physical struggles, financial challenges, the loss of loved ones, stress, relationships, marriages or people that are difficult, we can struggle with addictions or negative self talk etc…These are some examples of circumstances that we may experience throughout our lives. We may have unmet goals and dreams that haven’t happened yet or that maybe never happened. But WHY DO WE CHOOSE TO HOLD ON TO THE PAINFUL THOUGHTS?

We seem to want to wait for our ā€œGolden Ticketā€ because we think that it will make us happy when we have ā€œblankā€ā€¦But we forget that happiness is a choice and we can choose to be happy today, even in this very moment. There’s no need to wait for the ideal life, situation or relationship to be perfect for us to feel at peace. The truth is that we will never have things working just the way we want in all of the areas of our lives. We need to be able to adapt to whatever is happening and to RISE ABOVE OUR CIRCUMSTANCES.

Take a moment to think about some of the negative stories you have told yourself over the years. Question those thoughts for a minute to see if these stories or thoughts have been helpful to you in any way at all.

I believe that most of us can recognize that those negative thoughts and stories have not been fun to carry for days, months or years. So, what are some things that we can do to overcome and rewire our thoughts a little better to be a little bit more elevated and to rise above the circumstances that we have had to experience.

As you read this, I invite you to create a stronger desire in your heart, mind and soul to ELEVATE your thoughts to a higher level. One that is more connected to your soul and to your divine creator who is the Father of your soul.

Think for a moment about what God would tell you if you shared these thoughts with him? I believe that the first thing He would tell you is that HE LOVES YOU!!! ā¤ļø He sees you & loves your efforts in all that you do to try to become a better version of yourself. He would tell you to not be fearful but to only BELIEVE IN HIM TO HELP YOU OVERCOME THESE THOUGHTS & FEELINGS. He would remind you that you CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS YOU. & with His help and your desire to LET GO of the negativity that sneaks into your life, you will be better able to overcome this one day at a time.

Praying and asking God to help us overcome these negative thoughts, allows us to turn our attention away from ourselves and to allow divine healing to come into our minds and hearts . Handing things over to God is the biggest thing that we can do for ourselves. so practice daily prayer and share your thoughts with your creator who is ready to help you overcome any negativity in your life .

We can also take advantage to create opportunities for us to slow down our minds, by breathing deeply, closing our eyes, and allowing ourselves to relax . We can invite peace to surround us and to cover us. Even to the point that we choose to hold onto peace rather than negativity. When we can remind ourselves that we get to choose between negativity or peace. We can CHOOSE to hold onto peace. That is an amazing gift that we give to ourselves and that allows us to elevate ourselves to a better and higher place.

We can also create an opportunities to be mindful and present in this moment. Allowing ourselves to enjoy what we see, what we hear, what we smell, taste or touch. Bringing our attention to the present often helps us to CLEAR our minds of the thoughts. Practicing this allows us to be more present, centered and connected to divine wisdom that can help and inspire us. Allowing for a moment of breathing and quietness also might inspiration to flow into our minds as to ways in which God can inspire us to overcome whatever we may be going through at the time.

We can then take a moment to journal our thoughts and write down the inspiration that comes. This will also help us to process our emotions better. Journaling can help us gain new insights and allow us to know ourselves better and to be able to recognize what are some of the things that we can let go of or work on.

Next, is Physical Activity. Exercise has been proven to help us improve our mood and thoughts. Notice how much happier you feel after exercising. This is all fuel for our brain and thoughts as well. So, choose a daily activity that you can do and notice how much happier you feel.

Another important practice to help our thoughts is daily GRATITUDE. The moment you start comparing yourself to others, choose to be grateful for what you have instead. Turn your attention away from comparison and start counting as many blessings as you can. Gratitude is a powerful tool to overcome negative thoughts.

If some of your negative thoughts have to do with the way that you speak about yourself . Then, try practicing a few Positive Affirmations per day. Choose to fight that negative self talk with positive words and affirmations that can help shift our mindset. Even if you don’t believe the affirmation that you’re saying about yourself, just continue practicing it until your brain understands understand that you want to be more positive about the way that you speak to yourself .

And if you can say those affirmations aloud, then that’s even better! It may seem weird to talk to ourselves aloud šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø haha but when we’re trying to rewire new pathways in our brain, we need to be intentional about the way that we speak to ourselves.

Remember to be compassionate, loving, forgiving and kind to yourself. ā¤ļø Think about how you would speak to a friend if they shared those negative thoughts with you, or think about how you would speak to yourself, if that thought inside you came from ā€œlittle 4 year old youā€ practice that level of kindness when you’re speaking to yourself. Choose to regularly remind yourself of your strengths, positive qualities, to believe in yourself and in the love that God has for you and the love that you want to have for yourself.

Another important aspect of our thoughts is our relationships with others and how we can experience difficult relationships throughout our lives. One of the best ways for us to elevate ourselves in this area is to make a conscious effort to genuinely want to forgive and let go of the past. Reminding ourselves that it is a gift for US when we let go of the pain that we have held onto for years.

People may hurt us or not necessarily be the way ā€œI would likeā€ But we can also choose to be grateful for those people and those opportunities that we encounter. They’re definitely not fun situations but we can choose to view them differently. As a way to teach and polish us & to be better. These are opportunities for us to learn HOW WE WANT TO REACT TO OUR SITUATIONS.

Like my friend told me one time, ā€œthe pearl doesn’t become the pearl without the irritation that the sand creates inside itā€ So, take the opportunities and difficulties and allow yourself to become the pearl. Learning form the (irritating) situations that come into your life and elevating your thoughts to no longer want things to be ā€œeye for an eyeā€ but to rise to a higher level where you no longer have bad feelings toward those who ā€œhurt us or don’t act the way we would wantā€ but instead you’re able to cleanse your heart, let go, burry the past and reach a more Christlike level where we feel TRUE CHRISTLIKE LOVE FOR ALL OF HIS CHILDREN. Regardless of what they do or not do. So, choose to elevate yourself to a new level of forgiveness. Letting go and choosing love instead. Burry the pain, the disappointments, judgements or dissatisfactions and CHOOSE CHRISTLIKE LOVE INSTEAD.

Think about what God would tell you about those thoughts or negative people or situations. Really, see it in your mind as you let go and burry the pains of negative thoughts and self talk that you’ve created or carried throughout the years. Allow yourself to see yourself in the presence of your creator, giving him all of your pain, your grudges, and all of your negative self talk. And instead, allow yourself to feel the peace of having a Savior who takes IT ALL FROM YOU. Where you truly feel that you can let go of it all and instead be completely covered in Gods love and peace.

The purpose of this message is for us to choose to ELEVATE ourselves to a higher level. Our whole reason for being here on this earth is to PREPARE TO MEET GOD. That day will come sooner or later, and each day that passes just means we’re getting closer to that day. So, why not try to rise above the things that bring negativity into our lives. Why not let go of the competitiveness, comparison and negativity of this world. Why not let go of the distractions a little more and elevate ourselves spiritually, physically and mentally instead. Why not choose to focus on bringing in all of the positive and peaceful energy into our lives. To focus more and MORE ON JOY & GRATITUDE. To give MORE LOVE. To spend more of our energy and thoughts in nature, hobbies, making memories with family and loved ones and finding opportunities to serve and help others. šŸ«¶šŸ¼

So, here’s the reason why we practice meditation every Thursday night in class. Is to help us train our minds to slow down more often. So that when the negative thoughts arise, we know some of the things that we can do to help us calm down, relax, and bring our attention to the present moment. The more that we practice quieting our minds, feeling gratitude, breathing, replacing negative thoughts with positive affirmations and inviting more love and peace into our lives. The more we practice, the better we will be able to handle the difficult situations that arise. & we will be better able to acknowledge and recognize the thoughts that don’t serve us.

So, choose to ELEVATE YOURSELF TODAY IN MIND, BODY, & SPIRIT. Choose a higher level of viewing the world around you and your circumstances. It is all in within you. You are surrounded by divine light and the divine light is not only around you but within you. There is so much untapped divine light within us that we need to try to awaken more of that šŸ’› within ourselves. So that we may flow in more peace, gratitude and love each day and truly have a strong desire to be humbly elevated in Gods way so that we mash choose better thoughts, words, and actions.

CLASS IS CANCELLED TONIGHT but we’ll resume again next week. Our goal for this week is to choose an area where we want to ELEVATE ourselves. Elevate our thoughts, words, and actions and to be more aligned with God. Please know that I’m here for you if you want to tell me about your experiences. šŸ„¹šŸ«¶šŸ¼

Love you all & let’s do our best to care for ourselves, physically, mentally and spiritually. Hugs & can’t wait to see you all next week! šŸ„°šŸ’–šŸ™šŸ¼

Counsel With The Lord šŸ’–

This week I challenged myself to memorize this scripture im Alma 37:37 which says; ā€œCounsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day.ā€

As I’ve been meditating on this scripture this week, I’ve had some realizations that are helping me gain new insights. One of those, is that I realized that I don’t counsel enough with the Lord. Sometimes our prayers are so repetitive, we tend to ask for things and we forget to counsel or to listen to what God is trying to communicate to us. The word counsel, reminds me that when we counsel with someone, we come to them because they’re wise and they have insights that we do not have.

So, I’m trying to make it my goal to be more intentional about coming to God and to counsel with him in all my doings. As I practiced/tested this out at the beginning of the week, there was one day when I was really overwhelmed. As I made it a point to set some time aside to speak to God and to invite his presence to be with me. I found myself just breathing and waiting for an answer. When all of a sudden, I felt completely covered in peace. It was hard to believe that I had sat down a few minutes earlier completely overwhelmed and as I pondered and prayed, God completely filled my heart, mind and soul with peace. My circumstances hadn’t changed, I still had the same amount of pressures and things going on. But, God covered me in peace and that was exactly the type of counsel that my heart and soul needed.

It was amazing to me that I was able to then walk away feeling peaceful, calm and relaxed. It’s almost as if God told me to not worry about the little things…a lot of these things are just temporary & there are bigger and greater things to focus on and to think about. So, I felt completely different about my ā€œstressā€, I felt way more relaxed and peaceful. & that wouldn’t have happened, had I not taken a moment to come to Him and counseled with Him. My day ended up being so much better than the way it had started. I’m thankful for what I learned from that experience.

Another thing that stood out to me, is that I have to TRUST that He will hear me and answer me. God wanted me to show him that I TRUSTED IN HIM enough to come to Him & to counsel with Him. He let me know that He hears even the smallest prayers, and that as I trust him, read his words, come to him and do my part to hear him, ALL WILL BE OK. šŸ’› This was an amazing experience for me and an example of the importance of counseling with God, & also of the importance of doing my part in the process as well.

When we come to God and counsel with him in all our doings, He promises that HE WILL DIRECT US FOR GOOD. & what better promise can we have than from God? We canTRUST HIM that He will speak to our heart and mind. That he will give us wisdom to handle whatever situation we may be facing whether big or small. And that He will direct us for good. He is a loving God and wants to be here to help us through it ALL. To counsel us and to guide us.

From our part, we can show him that we’re willing to be PROACTIVE and to do our best to exercise our own wisdom as we continue to learn of him, to invite Him to be with us in all that we do. Even hour by hour we can ask for His help and counsel to know what to do and how to react to this person, challenge or situation in this very moment.

Finally, at the end of that scripture, it talks about letting our hearts be full of thanks unto God. Gratitude is one of those things that will allow us to strengthen our relationship with God. Gratitude is a vibration or an energy that we radiate. There are lower vibrations of energy, such as stress, anxiety, frustration, comparison, competition, complaining, criticism, etc. but when we focus on gratitude, our vibration rises, gratitude reduces those lower vibrations, and it instead allows us to feel more Joyful and peaceful. It can actually shift circuits in our brain in the direction of feeling a better sense of well-being, more grounded, less fear etc.

Gratitude is powerful and healing. Gratitude is acceptance. Even to the point that we can accept things, people and situations as they are. Gratitude is healing. & that higher vibration will allow us to radiate that to others and to receive counsel from the Lord with a grateful and humble heart.

So, I invite you to counsel with the Lord this week in all that you do. I pray that you will experience for yourself how amazing God is when we truly make it a point to seek Him and to do what he would want us to do in all of our circumstances.

If there’s something that you want to share with me, please message me. I love hearing about your amazing God moments. šŸ«¶šŸ¼šŸ„°

Our physical goal for the week to choose healthier meals and to walk or exercise daily. Also take a moment to express gratitude for your body and the gift that it is to have it and to create a stronger desire within you to want to take care of it. šŸ’–

Hope that you can make it to class tonight at 7pm We’re gonna dance away our tensions or stress & focus instead on strengthening our body, mind and spirit. & ending with an amazing and relaxing meditation that will leave us feeling peaceful, positive and uplifted. 🄰 Love you all and hope to see you there! ā¤ļø

I Am A Clean Vessel šŸ’›

We live in a world overflowing with noise. Notifications buzz, screens glow late into the night, terrible news and opinions—mostly negative—shout from every direction. It’s easy to feel like we’re drowning in distraction, addiction, and emotional clutter.

This week I had a day where I noticed I was on my phone way too much. I was scrolling the news and spending way more time watching all of the terrible things that are happening. I felt terrible after seeing all that. It didn’t uplift me at all! Instead I felt stressed anxious and negative.

So, I decided to say a little prayer and ask God to help me disconnect from the negative feelings and allow me instead to focus on the good, on all that is uplifting and on what allows me to be present and in this moment. I realized after that prayer that God always gives us hope and the opportunity to choose and change for ourselves. He wants us to recognize the deceptive ways in which the enemy traps us into feeling miserable like himself and He wants us to recognize the power that we have as children of God to reject the negative, push it out of the way and invite the good into our hearts and minds instead. šŸ’›

We are not powerless in this digital storm. In fact, we can choose to rise above it. We can train our minds, discipline our hearts, and become clean vessels for God’s light and love.

The Savior taught, ā€œLay up for yourselves treasures in heaven… For where your treasure is, there will your heart be alsoā€ (Matthew 6:20–21). In a world addicted to instant gratification, we’re reminded to treasure up wisdom—not fleeting entertainment. President Russell M. Nelson has invited us to ā€œhear Himā€ in the midst of the chaos. But to truly hear Him, our hearts must be quiet, our minds still, and our spirit open.

We have to remember that our mind is like a garden. What we plant is what will grow.ā€ If we constantly plant fear, gossip, comparison, or anger through what we watch and hear, our inner world mirrors that. But when we plant peace, gratitude, spiritual knowledge, and truth, we grow into strong, beautiful souls—anchored in the divine.

I also love the analogy of a clear cup. In mindfulness we practice that every morning we get to fill our empty vessel with what we choose. Do we want to fill it with murky water or trash? Or do we want to fill it with light and clean water? Meaning that we watch, listen to, read etc. Are all ways in which we fill our cup either with good or bad. The choice is always ours. We are the vessel and we fill ourselves with what we choose and its consequences. So, in a world that’s becoming darker šŸ™ we can choose to be like the sun! ā˜€ļø and to light up ourselves daily with our choices, the way we spend our time and what we choose to watch, listen to and do. šŸ’›

✨ So how do we become clean vessels in a world full of clutter?

Here are a few simple practices:

1 Choose what you consume.
Instead of waking up to your phone, wake up to a scripture, a devotional, or a silent prayer. Start the day feeding your spirit, not your scroll.

2 Protect your mind like a sacred space.
Turn off toxic content. Listen to uplifting music. Read something that teaches truth. Fill your ears and eyes with words that build, not break.

3 Treasure wisdom in your heart.
Like Mary, who ā€œkept all these things and pondered them in her heartā€ (Luke 2:19), we can reflect deeply on truth. Pondering creates roots; roots keep us grounded.

4 Make your body and soul a temple.
The Spirit dwells in clean vessels. Not perfect ones, but willing ones. As we let go of distractions, we invite clarity, purity, and power from above.

5 Practice soul-consciousness.
Remind yourself that we are not just our bodies—we are eternal souls, children of God. Remembering this truth helps us rise above worldly traps and return to our divine nature. Thinking higher and Celestial can help us get through anything that we may be experiencing. ā¤ļø

šŸ’› Remind yourself that you were created for light. When the enemy wants to keep us distracted, fearful, depressed and trapped. We can remind ourselves that God speaks differently. In His words we read that His eyes are upon us. That He is with us in our midst even when we can’t see Him. That He will lift us, send angels to help us and strengthen us. Most importantly, we learn and know that HE LOVES US & truly wants to help us no matter what!

We were never meant to be enslaved by our screens, or buried under the weight of constant comparison. Remind yourself today by saying ā€œI am a divine child of God, and He is calling me to rise.ā€ When I choose to let go of the world’s noise and fill my heart with light, I make space for the Spirit to guide, comfort, and teach me. I become a vessel of love. Of peace and of power.ā€

Let’s be intentional with what we allow into our minds and hearts. Let’s be still long enough to hear Him whisper truth. Let’s treasure up wisdom, walk in love, and shine in this darkened world. That’s our goal for the week. So, turn off your distractions and fill yourself whether that is your inner vessel or the garden of your mind with love, light, truth, peace and strength. Because when we are full of light, the darkness cannot remain.šŸ’›

Hope that you can make it tonight at 7 for an amazing class that will not only help you get rid of stress but also allow you get stronger physically, mentally and spiritually. šŸ’ŖšŸ¼šŸ„° Invite whoever you think would benefit from this class. Love you all and have an amazing rest of your day filling your mind and heart with wisdom and goodness. šŸ’›

Let Go & Let God šŸ¤

At some point in life, we all experience pain caused by others- whether through words, actions, or disappointments. This pain can quietly settle in our hearts, affecting how we see ourselves and others. But the truth is: we are not meant to carry this hurt forever. We are meant to rise above it. Letting go is not weakness. Instead it can bring us power and freedom.

When we can remember that we are the ones who get to choose if we allow what that person does or say to affect us…We realize that it’s all in our control. We can choose to let go. We can choose to heal. We can choose to learn from it and rise above it.

Holding on to hurt is like holding a hot coal waiting to throw it at someone—it only burns you. Expecting others to understand the pain they caused or to apologize can keep us trapped. We can’t always control what others do, but we can control how we respond. And that’s where our healing begins.

Meditating is a powerful tool that can help us to let go. One of the best ways we can do this is by taking a moment to quiet our minds and hearts and to just breathe! Taking a moment to remind ourselves of what we practice in class. ā€œI am love, I am a peaceful soul.ā€ This daily affirmation reminds us of our original nature. When we meditate on the truth that I am not my pain, I am peace, we begin to loosen the grip of emotional suffering.

Another great practice that we can do is:

Each morning, sit quietly for five minutes. Gently repeat:

ā€œI am light. I am peace. I let go of what no longer serves my spirit.ā€

Visualize the pain leaving your body as light enters and fills you.

We know that we think about affects and influences how we feel. If we keep replaying what hurt us, we deepen the wound. But if we reframe the experience, we begin to change its power over us.

For example we could try doing this:

Write the hurt down, then rewrite it through a new lens:

ā€œThis experience taught me boundaries.ā€

ā€œI learned how strong I am.ā€

ā€œI now know what I will no longer accept.ā€

God wants us to learn and help ourselves to heal and rise above the challenges that we face with others. The Savior taught, ā€œBlessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercyā€ (Matthew 5:7). Mercy includes releasing people from the expectations we had for them.

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf said,

ā€œStop it. It is that simple. We simply have to stop judging others and replace judgmental thoughts with a heart full of love.ā€We don’t forgive to excuse others—we forgive to heal ourselves and allow God to carry the rest. When the thoughts toward someone come into our mind we can stop šŸ›‘ the judgement and re-focus our minds and hearts on letting go and focusing on better thoughts for our minds and hearts.

One of our biggest if not our most powerful tool, is the power of prayer! We can ask Our Father in Heaven and our Savior to help us heal our feelings toward others. We can say;

ā€œFather, I choose to forgive. Help me surrender this pain to You. Lift the weight I can’t carry alone. Help me to let go and strengthen me as I release this to you.ā€

We have to rise above for ourselves!

As we go through our life journey we all have to learn to let go of what is not uplifting and positive for us. The things we experience are meant to help polish us. We can grow, learn new things to practice, we can be compassionate with ourselves and learn to see others with compassion too. Everyone carries pain but if we can learn to let go of ours, we can be a light to others to help them let go of theirs. šŸ’›

Letting go doesn’t mean pretending nothing happened. It means acknowledging the pain and CHOOSING to rise above it. Like a lotus flower. 🪷 we can be surrounded by murky, yucky water but we can rise above it. We were not created to stay small and bitter. We were made to grow, expand, and rise. For our own internal peace and for those around us as well.

Try this journaling prompt:

• What am I still holding on to that is no longer helping me grow?

• What would I feel like if I let it go right now?

šŸ•Šļø we need to remember that we are Children of God! Lived and individually know by Him. A He will help you in your journey. We are not defined by what others do to —we are defined by who we are becoming.

Let God rewrite your story. Let peace become your new power. Let love become your way forward. Your healing begins with a choice—to let go, to rise up, to move forward. šŸ’›

Choose peace. Choose growth. Choose you.

Hope to see you tonight at 7pm to do something amazing for our Body, Mind and spirit. Love you all and hope that you can make it and invite others to benefit as well. ā¤ļø

Love,

Lili

Be Still šŸ’›

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 ā™„ļø 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.

As we choose to make time for moments of peace and quiet. We will be better able to express our feelings to our Father in Heaven. We will be better able to find peace for our soul, we will be open to allowing the light of Christ to enter more deeply into our lives. Allowing Him to purify and remove our negative thoughts and feelings and instead inviting the healing light of the Savior to cover us completely. šŸ’›

I fully believe that it is part of our earthly experience to come and live in these bodies. So that we may learn to live and take care of them. But also, so that we may LEARN to go within ourselves to find the divine stillness that can only come from the presence of God. From where our spirits were born. We must learn this skill of going within and quieting the mind and the world. To really know that we TRUST GOD. To connect to Him in prayer and in spirit. 

As we PRACTICE this skill, we will feel a stronger connection to Heaven. More inspiration and insights will come. We will be better able to handle our problems and we will have more trust and faith in God. We will gain a confidence that is divine and rises above any type of worldly confidence. There’s no degree, no amount of money, Power or no self help courses that can bring the type of confidence and peace that only the spirit of God can provide to our souls. 

May we quiet our words, calm our thoughts, soften our hearts and still our souls daily, so that we may listen, be open, have faith and receive. & most importantly, let your spirit lead and remember to BE STILL AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD. šŸ¤

Make it your goal today to come to class tonight at 7pm! šŸ’›The hardest thing is always showing up. So, put on your workout clothes as a sign of the promise that you’re making to yourself to be there! šŸ’ŖšŸ¼šŸ„° Turn your attention away from the world and focus on giving yourself the gift of one hour to yourself tonight. šŸ’–

We will release stress, have fun, strengthen ourselves and calm our minds to have an amazing meditation of stillness that will help us feel relaxed and renewed. I promise that you won’t regret doing this for yourself. Just show up and feel the difference. ā¤ļø

Remember that God loves you, He wants to hear from you! Make it your priority this week to make quiet moments for Him and to strengthen yourself from within. 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 through Christ who strengthens you.

Love,

Inner Peace Keeper šŸ’›

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 constantly being affected, but new research has also shown that our levels of addictions or the ways in which we choose to numb our emotions is also increasing. Have you noticed that the world as a whole is having a harder time controlling their feelings, thoughts and emotions? People can’t seem to control themselves. Sadly, we’re becoming a society that’s more disconnected, divided and addicted. Numbing our emotional stress with outside sources and completely forgetting how to stop, breathe and silence our minds and hearts. 

Think about what we tend to resort to ā€œto help us feel better,ā€ we often times reach for food, our phones, TV, entertainment, shopping, posting on social media in search for compliments or validation, we reach for substances, gossiping and many other activities that seem harmless at first. But, but little by little become the ways in which we buffer our emotions. These types of activities tie us down to being controlled by them. We loose our ability to genuinely regulate our inner peace, based on the power that we have and our ability to ask God to help us. 

When we can acknowledge the ways in which we’re becoming more dependent on outside sources to bring us inner peace, we can take a good look at those things and start to work on them. 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 ā€œnumbing the discomfortsā€ of life, which little by little begin to dim our inner peace more and more. Remember that the world, and the enemy of your soul will always push for you to become dependent on outside sources. So that you may become a ā€œslaveā€ to those things. The enemy will even lie to you and tell you that it’s too uncomfortable to sit with your feelings. That you can’t look within yourself etc…But that’s how he ties us to more material things and keeps us away from God. The enemy knows that if he can keep us distracted, unable to process our feelings and definitely doing everything in his power to prevent us from speaking or communicating with God. Then, that’s how he wins. Making us miserable like himself. 

God, our Father in Heaven, on the other hand wants us to be able to rise above that. To CHOOSE FOR OURSELVES to turn to God for the help we need. He wants us to create within ourselves that strong desire that we may know that WE ARE HIS CHILDREN. & that as such, WE HAVE ACCESS TO DIVINE POWER, LIGHT AND GREATER PEACE. He wants us to know that we don’t need to depend on anything material or of this world to bring us the peace that we seek. But to know instead, that God is the giver of our peace. That He can provide that peace abundantly even admits the storms of life. So that when the rains come and the waters rise during our storms, we may be able to know in whom we trust and remain peaceful and faithful. 

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 very 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 you try to do to get out of fully sitting for a moment and just feeling your feelings and emotions. 

The goal is to practice when you’re triggered by something, šŸ’› to just take a moment to close your eyes, cover your ears, breathe and feel within yourself what’s going on. Take a moment to see your feelings and thoughts clearly. If it’s possible, see them from a distance so that they’re not fully ā€œ thoughts that are attached to you.ā€ But then, take a moment to invite divine light and ask God to be with you. To give you His LOVE, His STRENGTH, and His PEACE to remove those feelings. Then allow yourself to FEEL THAT AMAZING POWER FLOWING FROM GOD INTO YOUR HEART, MIND AND SOUL. Remember that nothing in the world can compare to that feeling of knowing that something comes directly from God to you. ā¤ļø & If you’d like to record your feelings or write down any wisdom that God places in your heart. Then, that will be a blessing to you as you go and act in what He tells you. The more willing you are to receiving, the more you’ll gain. 

Also, take a moment if you can to acknowledge the things that you honestly know that you use to ā€œnumbā€ your emotional discomfort. Think about what comes up for you. Ask yourself what are some of the things that steal my peace? Think about what you do when you’re angry or stressed. Do you reach for your phone or food or something else when you’re uncomfortable or stressed out? Do those things bring you lasting peace? Or how do they leave you feeling afterwards? These are all questions that we rarely ask ourselves. But it’s important that we get to know ourselves in this life and the WE BECOME OUR OWN BEST FRIEND! OUR OWN BEST CHEERLEADER AND OUR OWN PROTECTOR OF OUR PEACE. When we can notice and recognize what happens internally, we will be better able to PRACTICE inviting more of the good to be with us and it will become easier to reject the negativity and all that is bad for our minds, hearts and souls. 

So, take a moment to practice breathing, to check on your emotions and to change them for the better. 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 with yourself. To feel the emotions, to reach to God who is the true giver of lasting peace and allow Him to help you clear the internal chaos & RETURN TO PEACE OFTEN.šŸ’›

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. Ask Him to help you focus on your internal light and peace instead of what the world wants you to focus on. Find strength in your ability to practice this & notice how it will change everything for you and the way in which you view yourself and your ability to retain your peace. As you practice this skill, it will increase your inner power day by day. You’ve got this! 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: ā€œPeace 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.ā€ā¤ļø 

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; ā€œThis is anger, my chest or throat feel tight..etcā€ ā€œI want to release this emotion and allow myself to come to peace & calmā€ Invite peace to be with you. Breathe into those areas of stress until fully calm. 

Remember also to allow yourself to speak to God as you release those feelings and allow Him to take them 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 is the most amazing therapy that you can give to yourself. So, trust Him. He is the king of peace, the giver of all that is good. The creator of Love and light. There’s nothing greater on this earth than being able to experience the peace that can only come from a loving God. He will strengthen you, help you and lift you every single day and hour of your life. ā¤ļø I pray that you’ll be able to feel His peace and allow yourself to be the KEEPER AND THE PROTECTOR OF YOUR PEACE. 

This is our Spiritual goal this week is: To gain greater inner peace. šŸ’ŖšŸ¼šŸ’› To be the KEEPER OF OUR PEACE! The PROTECTOR or our peace who doesn’t depend on material things to help us feel better. But instead that we may have the wisdom to know where true peace comes from. To lean on our ability to invite silence and inner peace to this very moment. Saying to ourselves ā€œ I choose this hour to keep my peace centered on a God who sees me, who hears me, who loves me and who wants to help me. I am the protector of my inner peace and I choose light, love and peace to be with me surround me on this day.ā€ ā¤ļø

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. ā¤ļø

Class is canceled tonight. But we will see each other again next week. Love you all and do your best to take care of yourself physically, mentally and spiritually. šŸ’–

Love,

The Power Of Service šŸ’›

Have you ever had one of those days when an opportunity to serve presents itself and you feel like it came at the most inconvenient time? 🫣 You feel that you have so much going on already that it’s hard to add one more thing?….But then you go and give that service anyway?

That’s what happened to me this week. When the opportunity presented itself, it felt like it came at the most inconvenient time, but I’m so thankful for the lessons that I learned from going and giving the service anyway. Even though we tend to complain about ā€œthe timingā€ of things we have to remember that our timing is different from Gods timing.

Even though I felt rushed and that it was inconvenient for ā€œmy scheduleā€, something amazing happened when I showed up to help. I instantly felt an energy shift within me and I even felt myself apologizing to God for my little ā€œdiva attitudeā€ about it. It’s amazing how the shift came so quickly and I instantly felt NOT FOCUSED ON MYSELF BUT FOCUSED ONLY ON THE PEOPLE I WAS HELPING 😭 ā¤ļø My heart was changed instantly and I felt God’s love take over for those people. It not only my blessed them, but it changed and blessed me too. ā¤ļøā€šŸ©¹

At the end, one of the ladies that I was able to help handed me a yellow rose as a way to thank me. That instantly made me want to cry. 🄹 Seeing that yellow rose reminded me of how each one of us can give a light and be a little ā€œyellow rose for othersā€ and as we serve, we see that those we serve end up being a light to us as well. We just have to be willing to set aside ā€œour timeā€ and be willing to serve and be God’s hands as much as we can. When I got home I shared the experience with my babies and I’m now drying that yellow rose and keeping it as reminder to give service whenever possible.

I learned so many lessons from this small experience with service. Suddenly what had felt overwhelming was now feeling lighter. My heart was softened, I felt true Christlike love. ā™„ļø The love that doesn’t judge, but that just gives in charity and kindness. It’s the kind of love Christ showed every day of His life. When we choose charity, we’re choosing to see people the way He sees them. When we choose to serve and to be charitable and kind we’re choosing Christ.

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland once said:

ā€œTrue charity is love in action. The need for charity is everywhere. Don’t expect to be perfect. Just be honest and sincere.ā€

Sometimes we think service has to be big to matter—but it doesn’t. Christ healed, taught, and ministered one by one. A smile, a kind word, a thoughtful text, holding the door open, listening without interrupting—these are small things that carry eternal weight and provide light to others as well as to ourselves.

When we serve, we forget ourselves. And that’s when real joy begins.

President Thomas S. Monson said:

ā€œWe are the Lord’s hands here upon the earth, with the mandate to serve and to lift His children. He is dependent upon each of us.ā€

What an amazing thought—we truly are His hands! He trusts us to help Him love His children.

How This Way of Living Changes Us

When we live with charity in our hearts and serve with love, amazing things happen:

• We become more confident, because we know who we are in Christ.

• We become more joyful, because we’re focused on giving, not comparing.

• We grow stronger in faith, because we feel the Spirit more often in our lives.

Service softens us. Charity expands us. Living this way makes our lives richer…not in things, but in meaning.

Lets Make It our Goal

So, here’s a simple challenge for all of us.

šŸ’› Each day, find one way—big or small—to serve someone.

šŸ’› Pray for charity, and look for ways to show love that doesn’t judge.

šŸ’› Fill your mind with light, and trust that God will do the rest.

As we do this, our hearts will change. Our soul will feel lighter. Our burdens will feel more manageable—because we know we won’t be carrying them alone.

Remember the Savior’s words:

ā€œInasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.ā€ —Matthew 25:40

Let’s be people who lift. Who love. Who serve. Who try a little harder to be a little kinder. To give a little more light and to be a little yellow rose to someone today.

As we focus on living with charity, we live like Christ. ā¤ļø

The Lord gave me way more from this experience than what I would’ve gained if I had said no to the opportunity to help. That’s the true power of service. It lifts others, it’s softens hearts and it lifts us to a new level which draws us closer to Christ and fills us with way more joy and peace. And that changes everything. 🌟

Please share your service stories with me too! I would love to hear your experiences and grow from them too! 🄹

Love you all and hope to see you tonight in class to strengthen ourselves physically, mentally and spiritually. 🄰 Class will be canceled next week. So, hopefully you can make it tonight & do something awesome for yourself! šŸ’ŖšŸ¼šŸ¤©ā¤ļø

The Battle Is In The Mind šŸ’›

In a world filled with noise, distractions, and shifting values, it’s easy to forget about the importance that our mind plays in our daily life.

Take a moment and to check your thoughts. Are they positive? Negative? Helping or hurting you? When we can acknowledge that a lot of what we experience has to do with our thoughts, we can choose to be a little more vigilant and careful about what we allow to come into our minds.

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about how to prepare my mind for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. That thought might seem like an overwhelming task for any of us. But the scriptures and the words of prophets assure us that this preparation doesn’t begin with dramatic gestures or grand events—it begins in the quiet places of our hearts and minds.

The Mind is a Sacred Battlefield.

The battle between good and evil isn’t just playing out in world events or cultural movements. It’s unfolding within each of us, every day. The adversary knows that if he can gain influence over our thoughts, he can distort our feelings, weaken our faith, and distract us from our divine potential. Elder Neal A. Maxwell once said, ā€œThe greatest battles of life are fought out daily in the silent chambers of the soul.ā€

Satan seeks to sow doubt, fear, pride, and confusion. He whispers lies that we are not enough, that repentance won’t work, or that we can’t change. But the Savior speaks peace. He offers clarity, truth, and hope. Through the Spirit, He whispers, ā€œBe still, and know that I am Godā€ (Psalm 46:10).

Prepare Mentally & Spiritually:

Peter exhorted the Saints to ā€œgird up the loins of your mindā€ (1 Peter 1:13). In other words, we are to prepare mentally and spiritually for the challenges and blessings ahead. Just as we prepare physically for a journey, our minds must be disciplined, protected, and filled with light if we are to stand ready when He comes again.

Here are a few ways we can prepare our minds for Christ’s return:

1. Fill Your Mind with Truth

The Holy Ghost teaches us truth. As we study the scriptures and the words of living prophets, our minds are enlightened. We come to recognize falsehood more easily, and our desire to follow Jesus Christ grows stronger.

ā€œFeast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should doā€ (2 Nephi 32:3).

2. Practice Daily Mental Discipleship

Our thoughts shape our destiny. When we choose to think kindly, to turn away from temptation, and to focus on gratitude, we invite the Spirit. Mental discipleship means being intentional about what we allow into our minds through media, conversation, and personal reflection. Music is also a huge way to influence the mind. Listen to music that draws you to Christ. To loving and being kind. All of the things that we watch and listen to DO influence our thoughts and actions.

3. Embrace the Power of Repentance

When our thoughts wander or when we fall short, repentance realigns us with heaven. It clears the mental fog and replaces shame with peace. President Russell M. Nelson has called repentance a ā€œjoyfulā€ gift—one that helps us stay mentally and spiritually prepared for the Lord’s return.

4. Visualize His Coming

Ponder what it will be like to see the Savior again. Let that sacred hope influence your daily thoughts. The more we long for His return, the more we will align our minds with His ways. The Second Coming is not something to fear—it’s a reason to rejoice and prepare.

Victory Begins—and Ends—with Christ

While the battle between good and evil begins in the mind, the victory belongs to Christ. As we yield our thoughts to Him, He transforms not only our minds but our entire lives. He doesn’t just want us to believe in Him—He wants us to become like Him. That’s what we strive for, to be better, to be kinder, loving, forgiving and more like the example of the Christ that we know. ā¤ļø

In the end, it is not fear or force that wins the war in our minds—it is love. Love for the Savior, love for truth, love for our eternal potential as sons and daughters of God and love for ourselves and others.

So, let’s make it our goal to protect our minds daily and to invite all that is good to reside within us. God wants to help us in this process of strengthening our mind. We can pray and ask for inspiration on ways to help our mind. We can meditate and set time aside to calm our minds and to find peace in Christ from one moment to the next.

As we prepare for His return, let’s make it our goal to start with our thoughts. Let us guard them, refine them, and lift them to higher, holier places. Because when Christ comes again, He won’t just look at the world—He will look into our hearts and minds, and as we strive to do this, He will find that we a place prepared for Him. šŸ’›

I hope that you may feel a stronger desire to protect your mind from the enemy and fill it instead with the light of God. This is our goal for this week. Notice how much better your mind feels as you strive to do this.

I hope that you can make it to class tonight to release stress and strengthen yourself physically mentally and spiritually. Our meditation will be focused on strengthening our mind so please invite whoever you think would benefit from tonightā€˜s class. Love you all and hope to see you there! šŸ™‚

Love,

Finding Stillness šŸ’–

We live in a world buzzing with constant noise—notifications, scrolling feeds, 24/7 news, and never-ending entertainment. It’s easier than ever to fill every quiet moment with something that feels productive, entertaining, or comforting. But in the midst of that noise, we risk losing something far more valuable: our connection to heaven.

Distraction is the Enemy of Revelation. When we allow the outside world to constantly come in and disrupt our peace, we make it harder for us to receive the inspiration and the revelation that we need.

Elder Richard G. Scott once said, ā€œThe inspiring influence of the Holy Spirit can be overcome or diluted by strong emotions, such as anger, hate, passion, fear, or pride. Similarly, spiritual promptings can be missed if we’re too busy, overwhelmed, or distracted.ā€

The truth is, many of us are missing personal revelation—not because God has stopped speaking, but because we’re too distracted and we’ve stopped listening. šŸ™ The Lord speaks in a still, small voice. But how can we hear that voice when our minds are constantly pulled in a hundred different directions?

As I’ve thought about distractions this week. I’ve realized that my phone is my biggest source of distraction. It steals time away from the people that are around me. It steals time away from my goals, from being able to serve, listen and help someone. I’ve also noticed that phones have become our ā€œescapeā€ when we don’t want to feel an emotion. So, I’m asking myself today. ā€œHow do I want my relationship to be with my phone? Do I want IT to be the master of me? Or do I want to make sure that I CONTROL, MASTER AND SET LIMITS with this device? šŸ’ŖšŸ¼

Phones aren’t evil—But They Can Be Addictive. Our phones are incredible tools. They connect us, teach us, and help us serve. But like any tool, they can be misused. When we spend hours on social media comparing our lives to others, when we check notifications during scripture study or prayer, when we default to entertainment instead of introspection—something sacred is being traded for something superficial.

President Russell M. Nelson warned us: ā€œThe adversary is clever. For millennia he has been making good look evil and evil look good. His messages tend to be loud, bold, and boastful. However, messages from our Heavenly Father are strikingly different. He communicates simply, quietly, and with such stunning plainness that we cannot misunderstand Him.ā€

We cannot afford to be spiritually numb. Our time on earth is too short and our potential too grand to waste on constant digital noise.

How to Fight Distraction and Reclaim Clarity?

So how do we break free? How do we hear the voice of the Lord more clearly and align ourselves with our divine potential?

Here are a few small but powerful steps:

1. Begin with Intentional Stillness

Create space in your day for silence. Mornings or evenings are perfect times to set aside even five minutes to pray, listen, and be still. This stillness invites the Spirit and prepares your heart to receive divine impressions.

2. Practice ā€œSacred Breathingā€

Try a simple breathing exercise before prayer or scripture study: inhale deeply for four counts, hold for four, and exhale for four. Repeat a few times while focusing on a phrase like ā€œBe still and know that I am God.ā€ This grounds your spirit and quiets your thoughts so the Lord’s voice can come through.

3. Fast from Distraction

Just as we fast from food to refocus spiritually, we can fast from digital distractions. Try taking a break from social media, YouTube, or streaming apps once a week. Use that time to study the scriptures, write in your journal, or simply be with your thoughts and with God.

3. Guard Your Sacred Time

Prioritize scripture study, prayer, temple worship, and Sabbath observance with your whole heart. Put the phone in another room. Let God know He has your full attention. He always notices.

4. Strengthen Your Willpower Through Covenants

Covenants or promises to God are powerful spiritual anchors. When we remember who we are and the promises we’ve made, we find the strength to act instead of being acted upon. Our willpower grows stronger when we act deliberately to keep our covenants—especially in a distracted world.

5. Ask God to Help You See Clearly

If you’re overwhelmed, confused, or discouraged, ask for help. Pray for clarity. The Lord will help you discern between what is good, what is better, and what is best. His wisdom cuts through confusion.

You Are Meant for More

God has great things in store for you. He placed you here for a reason and wants to guide you. Make time to receive those promptings, and the revelation that you need for your life. He will help you in your relationships, with the way you spend your time and He will bring miracles into your life. It juts requires your attention, stillness, intention, and time with the Lord.

Let’s remind ourselves that we were never meant to live distracted. We were meant to live directed—by our Father in Heaven, Our loving Savior Jesus Christ and by the Holy Ghost.

So, today, choose to unplug a little more so you can connect a lot more—be ready to listen to the little impressions that come to your heart. To that still small voice and then you will know what to do next. Allow yourself the opportunity to connect with God, with yourself, and with what truly matters. You’ll be amazed at what opens up when you make space to hear His voice.

Hope that you can make it to class tonight to release stress, disconnect from the distractions and connect to your body, mind and spirit.

Love,

Nourishing The Whole Self šŸ’–

In a world filled with constant demands, fast-paced schedules, and unrelenting challenges, it’s easy to feel stretched thin, pulled in every direction and left wondering how to find balance. Yet, many of us have been blessed to have learned about divine truths that teach us the importance of nurturing not just one aspect of ourselves, but the whole self: body, mind, and spirit.

This holistic approach to self-care is not just a fleeting trend or some nice words to say. It’s actually been taught by God our Father in Heaven and by our Savior Jesus Christ. When we learn to care for all three elements of our being, we unlock greater peace, strength, and purpose.

The Body: A Sacred Temple

Our bodies are gifts from a loving Heavenly Father. In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, Paul reminds us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Ghost and that we are ā€œbought with a price.ā€ Recognizing the sacred nature of our physical bodies inspires us to treat them with reverence and care.

This means nourishing our bodies with wholesome food, getting sufficient rest, and finding joy in movement. It also means avoiding substances or practices that harm our physical well-being. As we strive to avoid addictive substances or practices, and as we strive to care for our body, we are better able to align ourselves with God’s design, and we invite greater health and vitality into our lives.

But caring for our bodies goes beyond physical health. It’s about cultivating gratitude for the miracle of life itself. When we honor our bodies, we acknowledge their divine purpose as vessels to carry out God’s work on earth. We can express gratitude for everything that our bodies are able to do for us daily. And we can allow ourselves to walk day to day filled with love and gratitude for the body we are given and the blessing of being able to care for it and love it.

The Mind: A Gateway to Truth

Our minds are incredible gifts. Capable of creativity, reasoning, reflection and growth. In Doctrine and Covenants 93:36 says; ā€œThe glory of God is intelligence, or, in other words, light and truth.ā€ Caring for our minds means dedicating ourselves to lifelong learning, filling our thoughts with all that is positive, uplifting and good. And seeking knowledge in both spiritual and temporal matters.

In a world overflowing with information, it’s important for us to be discerning. Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf has taught, ā€œSeek out the majesty, the beauty, and the exhilarating joy of the truths of the gospel. They will lift your spirits and cause your burdens to fade into the backgroundā€. We also read in D&C 88:118 Seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom; seek learning, even by study and also by faith.

Developing our minds also includes protecting our mental health. Turning to the Savior in times of stress or discouragement, seeking professional help when needed, and surrounding ourselves with supportive people are all ways to strengthen this powerful and amazing gift of our mind, that God has given us.

The Spirit: Anchored in Christ

At the core of everything is the spirit. The eternal part of us that connects with God. Nurturing our spirits involves daily habits of prayer, scripture study, seeking quiet moments and worship. It’s through these practices that we hear God’s voice and feel His guidance in our lives.

The Savior Himself set the perfect example of spiritual self-care. He often withdrew from the crowds to pray and commune with His Father (Luke 5:16). Likewise, we must prioritize time to be still, reflect, and reconnect with the divine.

President Russell M. Nelson said: ā€œThrough daily prayer and feasting upon the words of Christ in the scriptures and the words of living prophets, we can receive the Savior’s guidance and protectionā€. When we invest in our spiritual well-being, we are strengthened to face life’s challenges with faith and hope.

Striving for Balance

Caring for the body, mind, and spirit is not about perfection but about progress. Some seasons may demand more focus on one area than another, and that’s okay. The key is to strive for balance and listen to the quiet promptings of the Spirit, which often guide us toward what we need most.

When we take the time to nurture ourselves holistically, we become better instruments in the hands of God. We are more prepared to serve, love, and fulfill our divine potential.

Heavenly Father gives us a divine invitation to care for our whole beings. Our own individual body, mind, and spirit working together in harmony. By caring for each part of ourselves, we honor His plan and draw closer to Him. As we seek to nurture our whole selves, let us remember the Savior’s loving invitation:

ā€œCome unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you restā€ (Matthew 11:28).

Through Him, we can find true rest, healing, and joy as we strive to care for the beautiful, divine creations that we are. Let us embrace this journey with faith, knowing that we are never alone. & that God has a beautiful plan and purpose for our lives. He loves us and wants us to love, care and protect our whole self. Recognizing that each day comes with a blessing a gift and an opportunity to care for this body, mind and spirit.

I pray that this message will allow you to feel a little more connected to the divine love of our creator and loving Father in Heaven. That you may have a stronger desire to care for your whole self and that you may be a light to others on their journey of loving and caring for themselves as well.

Tonight in class, we will have an opportunity to strengthen our bodies, release stress, quiet our minds and give our spirit a little time to recharge. I hope that you can join us and that you can leave feeling amazing physically, mentally and Spiritually. Love you all & can’t wait to see you there! šŸ’–

Love,

Lili 🌸
