Self-mastery is one of the greatest spiritual journeys we can undertake. Our self mastery is tested constantly. What matters is what we choose to do with the opportunity to practice strengthening this self mastery within ourselves.

Self Mastery is a quiet, daily commitment to rise above impulse, discouragement, and distraction. It allows us to choose to be intentional in living more centered in Christ.

Self mastery is not about perfection. It’s about the direction we choose to take for ourselves. Every small, faithful choice leads us closer to the person God knows we can become.

When we learn to govern our thoughts, care for our bodies, speak with kindness, and act with purpose, we begin to feel a deeper sense of peace and spiritual confidence. Self-mastery is not meant to be overwhelming; it is meant to be empowering. It is what allows us to walk hand-in-hand with the Savior.

My goal for this message is that we will try to look a little deeper into what self-mastery looks like in our thoughts, body, words, and actions and that we may have a stronger desire to practice self mastery in as many areas of our lives as possible.

First, there’s Mastery of Thoughts and the Mastery of the mind. We can choose to train our thoughts and our mind to turn toward light rather than darkness. ☀️

Our thoughts influence our emotions, our choices, and the overall atmosphere of our day. Self-mastery starts with gently guiding the mind back to truth whenever it tries to wander toward fear, comparison, judgment or negativity.

Scriptures to Anchor the Mind 📖

We can invite Gods words daily to come into our lives and allow them to change us, strengthen us, help us and invite us to grow. 🌟 Here are a few of my favorites.

• “Let virtue garnish thy thoughts unceasingly…” — D&C 121:45

• “Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10

• “…Let the peace of God rule in your hearts.” — Colossians 3:15

One of the reasons why I love mindfulness is because it teaches me exercises that I can practice to help strengthen my mind body and soul. So, here are a few exercises that may help you as you pause and breathe.

• Thought Pausing: Notice the thought and ask:
“Is this true? Is this helpful? Is this what God would tell me about this situation?”

• Replace, Don’t Wrestle: Swap anxious thoughts for a scripture, a gratitude, or a truth statement.

• Morning Stillness: Sit for 3 minutes in quiet breathing and invite Christ to fill your mind with light.

These small practices, repeated daily, can help your mind become a place where the Spirit can dwell more easily.

Mastery of Body: Honoring the Temple God Gave Us. 💖

Our bodies are sacred gifts. Developing self-mastery in how we care for them brings spiritual strength, emotional balance, and physical energy. Here are a few scriptures to remind us of the importance of this.

• “Your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost…” — 1 Corinthians 6:19–20

• “…I discipline my body and keep it under control.” — 1 Corinthians 9:27 (ESV)

We often forget that the enemy is not just after our mind and our spirit. He is also after our body! He never got a body and therefore wants us to be miserable like himself. He wants us to speak negatively about our body. He doesn’t wants us to remember that our body was given to us and created by God our Father! He wants us to defile our body with addictions, thoughts and actions that disrespect our body or make us feel that we don’t care for it enough. God on the other hand, invites us to love ourselves. To respect, protect and honor our body. With food, rest, exercise and gratitude for each part of this temple we were given. To help master it and care for it. I fully believe that we will give an account at the end of our lives for what we chose to do with our God given body. 💖

Our Habits Help Build Body-Mastery: We can help ourselves choose habits that are beneficial to our minds and bodies. For example;

• Choose one small daily habit to strengthen (water, stretching, walks, sleep).

• Practice body gratitude every night—thank God for one thing your body did today.

• Listen to promptings: rest when the Spirit says rest; move when the Spirit nudges you to move.

Self-mastery of the body is not about pressure, comparison or appearance. it’s about honoring the gift God entrusted to each one of us.

Mastery of Words: Speaking With Purpose, love and light. 🗣️ 💛

Our words hold power. They can lift, heal, comfort, or inspire. Self-mastery in speech means slowing down long enough to choose words that align with love and truth. This is one of the ones that I’m trying to practice the most. 🙈 To be a little more aware to try to use words that lift how we speak to ourselves and about others. I know that as we choose words that lift and bring light to others…That is one of the best ways that we can honor God and show Him how much we love Him. ❤️

Here are a few scriptures that can shape the way we speak.

• “Let your speech be always with grace…” — Colossians 4:6

• “A soft answer turneth away wrath.” — Proverbs 15:1

• “Speak the truth in love.” — Ephesians 4:15

And in mindfulness there’s an exercise called;

• The Holy Pause: Before responding, take a breath and ask,
“What would uplift, bring peace and love to think about this situation? How would God want me to respond to this?

• Speak to Bless: Make it your mission to let your words be a blessing. This can be super hard to do because we all have differences in opinions and things that we don’t agree with or want to gossip about etc. 🙈 But we can all try to be a little more gentle with our words.

We can try to remember that we ourselves are very imperfect…just as the people we judge are imperfect. But in Gods eyes we are all His children and what we do to others we do unto Him. 😣 So, we should try to be kinder, more forgiving, more loving and having more self mastery. 💪🏼Enough to know that there are some things that we just need to LET GO & LET GOD HELP US THROUGH IT. ❤️🙏🏼 & this isn’t just about others, but it also applies to how we treat ourselves too. Sometimes we need to let god of some of the judgements we have with ourselves and give ourselves a little more love, kindness and compassion. 🥹💖

• Gentle Self-Talk: Talk to yourself the way Christ would—with patience, compassion, and hope. 💖

When we master our words, we become instruments of peace. As we master our thoughts, words and actions we finally begin to start living with intention. We’re not driven by impulses, anger, etc.

Instead, we learn to recognize our power and realize that it’s better to use this power for good and not to hurt myself and others by giving away my power. So, today I invite you to find your inner power. Your opportunity to protect and strengthen yourself.

Self-mastery in action means we choose our behavior deliberately rather than reacting from emotion or stress. Christ is the perfect example of calm, purposeful living—even in pressure-filled moments.

He has taught us;

• “Let all things be done decently and in order.” — 1 Corinthians 14:40

• “By their fruits ye shall know them.” — Matthew 7:20

• “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” — Philippians 4:13

Tools To Help Us With Our Action Mastery:

• One-Hour Focus: You don’t need to control the whole day—just the next hour. Take action for just the next hour and feel the difference.

• Act vs. React: When emotion rises, pause and ask:
“What outcome do I want? What action aligns with the person I’m becoming?”

• Evening Check-In: Spend a few minutes at night reporting your wins and struggles to God, and ask Him to help you shape your actions, thoughts, words and desires for tomorrow.

At the end of it all. Self Mastery is really just helping us to become a little more Christlike. we could call it Christ Mastery. As we strive to become better masters of ourselves, I promise that He will provide wisdom, direction and guidance on those days when you’re struggling the most.

Self-mastery is not something we do alone. It’s something we do with Christ. He’s the one who helps us. He fills the gaps.He strengthens our weaknesses. He blesses our efforts, no matter how small.

Self-mastery is the opportunity that we have to learn to live in partnership with the Savior. Moment by moment. And as we do, something shifts in our hearts: We’re able to let go of things easily, We focus our energies on the things that matter most, we become calmer, more joyful, more confident, and more spiritually anchored.

This allows us to feel more capable of becoming the sons and daughters God created us to be. And He would want to remind us that we don’t need to master everything at once. We can start by just choosing one area today—and invite Christ into it.

He will do the rest.

I invite you to come to class tonight at 7pm to practice your self mastery as you choose to do something great for your Body, Mind and Spirit. Our meditation will be focused on practicing self mastery and allowing ourselves to let go of things and trust in God and in ourselves. Class will be canceled next week so, hopefully you can make it tonight! 🙂

Sometimes life feels heavy. Our minds race with responsibilities, worries, and endless to-do lists. But God never meant for us to carry it all alone. He invites us to rest in Him. Sometimes we think of rest as just laying down, sleeping, watching tv etc. But what if we can choose to rest in a deeper way? Allowing our mind, heart and soul to rest in Christ instead?

The Savior tells us “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28

True rest doesn’t always mean stopping everything—it means finding peace within everything. It’s that quiet knowing that Christ walks beside us, that when we feel overwhelmed or stressed we can slow down and remember to come to Him to find peace, and comfort. It’s knowing that His strength fills the gaps where ours runs out.

When we feel overwhelmed, we can pause, breathe, and gently remind our hearts that we are safe in His hands. We don’t have to figure out the whole day—just do our best one hour at a time.

Psalm 46:10 says; “Be still, and know that I am God.”

So, when you feel stressed or overwhelmed stop and remind yourself to be still and know in the God in whom you trust. Know His attributes. Know what He has done in the past for you and what he’s capable of doing for you right now in this very moment. Remember that each hour can be a new beginning—a small act of trust, a little heartfelt prayer offered or a deep breath that says, “Lord, I’m here. Help me to rest in You.”

Here’s a Mindfulness Practices to help you rest in God.

1. The One-Hour Practice is a beautiful mindfulness practice where you break down your day into one-hour segments. At the start of each hour, pause for 30 seconds to take three slow breaths and say:
“Father, help me do what matters most in this next hour.”
This keeps your focus grounded in the present moment rather than the weight of the whole day.

Another beautiful mindfulness exercise is the Breath Prayer.
As you inhale, think or whisper: “Be still…”
As you exhale: “…and know that I am God.”
Let this rhythm remind your body and spirit to release control and rest in His peace.

Another powerful way to combat our stressful thoughts and feelings is to be reminded of scriptures that help us. We can take time to pause for a few minutes and reflect on a scripture that can help us. For example you can choose a verse for the day. like Matthew 11:28 which says “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” or Mosiah 24:14 which says; “And I will also ease the burdens which are put upon your shoulders, that even you cannot feel them upon your backs, even while you are in bondage; and this will I do that ye may stand as witnesses for me hereafter, and that ye may know of a surety that I, the Lord God, do visit my people in their afflictions.”

We can remember scriptures that give us comfort we can write them down, carry them with us or set it up as a phone background. Each time you feel overwhelmed, read it slowly and let it sink into your heart.

And finally we can focus on having gratitude in the moment.
When your mind starts spinning with stress, pause and notice one thing—big or small—that is evidence of God’s care right now. Gratitude gently shifts your focus from fear to faith.

In a message that I wrote at the beginning of the year, the Lord taught me that the feelings of overwhelm or stress are not feelings that come from God or His presence. The truth is that this life gives us opportunities to learn how to manage our stress if we choose to come and find rest upon the giver of all peace. To come to our Savior and find rest in Him. The more that we’re able to practice coming to Him and resting in Him the better we’ll be able to manage the thoughts, stress and emotions around us.

There’s a quote from Corrie Ten Boom which says; “If you look at the world, you’ll be distressed. If you look within, you’ll be depressed. If you look at God, You’ll be at rest.” 💛

I pray that we may all find rest in Christ. Remember that you don’t have to have it all together to rest in God. You just have to be willing to pause, breathe, and let Him hold what’s too heavy for you to carry.

Try to remind yourself to take things ONE HOUR AT A TIME, ONE BREATH AT A TIME, ONE PRAYER AT A TIME. He loves you! He will strengthen you. He will help you.

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13

Hope that you can make it to class tonight to release stress, strengthen your body and allow your mind heart and soul to rest in Christ. 💛🥰🙏🏼 Join us and feel the difference. ❤️

One of the greatest gifts we can cultivate in this life is the ability to protect our inner peace. Each day we’re confronted with people, circumstances and challenges that threaten to steal our peace. The peace that allows us to have that calm assurance that comes from knowing who we are, whose we are, and what truly matters. 💛

Christ Himself exemplified perfect peace, even in the midst of rejection, betrayal, and suffering. He said, “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” (John 14:27).

Even when others misunderstood or mistreated Him, the Savior never allowed bitterness, anger, or fear to take root. Instead He chose stillness, forgiveness, and divine trust. He showed us that true peace doesn’t depend on our circumstances. It’s something we carry within when we’re anchored to God our Father. He is our shield, our anchor and our protection. ⚓️🛡️

When we feel our peace being threatened — whether by others’ actions, our own worries, or the noise of the world, we can choose to turn inward to protect our peace and to look upward to seek direction from God on how He would want us to handle this specific situation. This life will give us plenty of opportunities to practice whether or not we believe that protecting our peace is of more important than allowing ourselves to loose it.

The Spirit of God always whispers peace when we quiet our minds and open our hearts to the Lord.

As Philippians 4:7 promises: “The peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

Here are some ideas that may help us practice protecting our peace:

💛 Pause before reacting. Take a deep breath and ask, “What would bring me closer to Christ in this moment?”

💛 Set gentle boundaries. Protect your emotional and spiritual space without resentment — you can love others without allowing their choices to steal your peace.

💛 Ask yourself, “Is my peace worth more than this argument?”

💛 Pray and release. Turn burdens, hurt feelings, and misunderstandings over to the Lord. As you do, the weight begins to lift and you’re able to free yourself from the thoughts and feelings that don’t help you.

💛 Stay present. Mindfulness teaches us to notice our thoughts and feelings without judgment — to breathe, observe, and choose peace instead of reacting on impulse.

💛 Remember that you can’t control how people act but you can control where you look for peace. 💛 When you choose to stare or focus on what hurts you, you forget who can heal you. 🥹

💛 Fill your soul with light daily. Scripture study, gratitude, uplifting music, and service all strengthen your inner peace by aligning you with God’s Spirit.

💛 You can also journal, exercise and choose activities that help you release and strengthen your mind, body and soul.

Remember, Christ’s peace is not fragile — it’s divine. When we stay close to Him, no storm, person, or situation can take away the calm He offers. As Isaiah 26:3 beautifully says: “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.”

So, guard your peace tenderly, as something sacred. It’s not selfish — it’s spiritual stewardship. When you protect your peace, you protect your ability to love, to serve, and to hear the gentle whisperings of the Spirit. You deserve to protect your peace. As you become a protector of your peace, you will also bless and bring peace to the lives of those around you. 💖

Our goal for the week is to recognize the peace that we have. Think of way to protect it and how it can anchor us to Christ, our teacher and Savior. Try practicing this week ways to be a peacemaker and to protect your peace. 🛡️

Our physical goal for the week is to move our bodies daily and to be wise in what we choose to eat.

I pray that we will all have a safe and beautiful day. No matter what is going on remember that God LOVES YOU!! He has a beautiful and perfect plan for you. & he is present and ready to fill you with love, light and peace. Truly try to look unto Him in every thought. Doubt not, fear not. Allow the peace of Christ to rule in your heart and mind more than anything else around you & notice the difference. 🥹💛🙏🏼

Love you all and hope that you can make it to class tonight at 7pm to strengthen your body through exercise. Your mind, as you strengthen your thoughts through meditation, and your spirit as you allow God to fill your heart with peace. Hope that you can join us and feel the difference.

Love,

Sometimes we rush through our days, filled with distractions, responsibilities, and endless to-do lists, forgetting to slow down and simply be in the moment. Too often, our thoughts get stuck in the future or the past, and before we know it, the day is gone. We’ve lived on autopilot instead of being fully present and engaged.

Learning to slow down and refocus our attention on the present moment takes practice. It’s not just a nice thought — it’s a daily choice. Each moment offers us a chance to be here, fully aware, and fully alive.

I believe God gave us both day and night for a reason. Imagine if there were no night—how many of us would truly stop to rest? Most likely, we’d just keep going. Thankfully, night is our reminder to slow down, rest, renew, and allow our minds and bodies to recover. It’s a sacred time to let go of the day’s noise and let God restore us.

Daytime, on the other hand, begins with the sunrise — a reminder of renewal and new opportunity. Each new day is a gift from God: a fresh start to set intentions, express gratitude, and live presently, one moment at a time.

God doesn’t want us to run faster than we have strength or let our minds dictate every thought and action. Each day, we have the power to choose how to show up in the present moment. We can pause, check our thoughts, and invite peace, light, and love into our souls.

He asks us to take things one day at a time. As we learn to appreciate the daily blessings — the “daily bread” He provides — we’ll find more peace, joy, and contentment.

One simple mindfulness tool is the 5–4–3–2–1 exercise:

• Notice 5 things you see

• 4 things you hear

• 3 things you feel

• 2 things you smell

• 1 thing you can taste
This practice helps us ground ourselves in the present moment and reconnect with what’s real right now.

Recently, my uncle suffered a heart attack. Moments like these remind us how precious life truly is. None of us know how long we have, and that’s why living fully present is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves — to truly enjoy our breath, our time, and our blessings today.

Let’s make a conscious effort to enjoy each day — to serve others, help where we can, and choose peace over stress. We can feel our feelings and still invite calm into our minds, bodies, and spirits. Remember: what we focus on truly matters. Some things are temporary and unimportant, but turning our hearts to God brings lasting light.

When we need to refocus, we can turn to affirmations and scripture. Here are a few affirmations that inspire me:

• I am a daughter of God; divine light is within me and around me.

• I am aligned and supported by my Heavenly Father, and all is well.

• I am clear, focused, and efficient in my work today.

• I am peaceful, joyful, and patient with my children and friends.

• I flow through the day with the Spirit, ease, and grace.

• I have all the time I need for all that I need to do.

God has counseled us to take life one day at a time. As Jesus taught in Matthew 6:34:

“Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.”

He doesn’t want us consumed by worry about tomorrow. The future will unfold according to His will. What He asks is that we focus on today — this moment, this challenge, this opportunity to grow and trust Him.

So, trust in God’s love and timing. Let go of fear, stress, and anxiety, and rest in the assurance that the One who created the universe knows you, loves you, and has a perfect plan for your life. It’s all in His hands. ❤️

Choose joy today. Take it one step, one moment, one day at a time. Enjoy your blessings — even the small ones. If you’re going through something hard, invite God into it. Ask Him to fill you with peace, light, motivation, and love for this day.

Feel the love of those around you. Count your blessings. Trust in yourself and in God. He will guide you, hour by hour, as you seek His divine direction. Release heavy thoughts and let Him carry what you can’t.

Remember: This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. — Psalm 118:24

🌿 Spiritual Goal for the Week:

Focus on taking life one day at a time. Slow down. Rejoice. Find joy in your day. Joy is what makes life beautiful and full. Strengthen your relationship with God today and seek His “daily bread” — the wisdom, energy, and peace you need just for today.

💪🏼 Physical Goal for the Week:

Move your body, drink more water, and nourish yourself with wholesome, vitamin-rich foods. When we care for our bodies, our minds and spirits thrive, too. It’s all connected — body, mind, and spirit.

🌸 Class Tonight at 7:00 PM!

In a world filled with noise, opinions, and countless claims of “truth,” it can be hard to know what to believe. Every day, we are surrounded by voices—on screens, in conversations, and in our thoughts—each insisting that their version is right. But truth is not something the world defines. Truth is eternal. It comes from God. ☀️

Jesus Christ declared, “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). He is not only the source of truth—He is truth itself. When we come unto Him, study His words, and follow His light, we begin to see clearly. The Spirit confirms to our hearts what is real and right.

Lately I have wanted to turn off the opinions of the world and instead focus on seeking truth directly from God. I’ve realized that there’s a lot of things that I’ll have to let go of, and just let God in His timing reveal the truth of those things to me. Other things though, I have chosen to ask God directly and I’ve had really beautiful experiences receiving truth spoken to my heart directly from the Holy Ghost and from the giver and provider of all truth. 💛

The scriptures teach, “The Spirit of truth… will guide you into all truth” (John 16:13). And in the Doctrine and Covenants, the Lord reminds us that “the glory of God is intelligence, or, in other words, light and truth” (D&C 93:36). Light and truth always come from God, and as we seek them, darkness and confusion must flee.

We see this beautifully in the example of Moses. After speaking with God and beholding His glory, Moses was confronted by Satan, who tried to deceive him. But because Moses had experienced the light and truth of God, he immediately recognized the darkness of the adversary. He declared, “Who art thou? For behold, I am a son of God, in the similitude of his Only Begotten” (Moses 1:13). Knowing his divine identity gave him the power to discern deception.

Like Moses, we too are sons and daughters of God. That truth alone gives us power. ❤️ When we remember who we are—and whose we are—we can discern truth from falsehood, light from darkness. The Holy Ghost will confirm truth to our hearts if we are humble, prayerful, and willing to listen. 🕊️

As we fill our minds and hearts with the word of God, uplifting influences, and things that invite the Spirit, we strengthen our ability to recognize deception. Truth brings peace, clarity, and light. It draws us closer to Christ. Falsehood brings confusion, fear, and doubt—it leads us away from Him.

As we strive to exercise wisdom in what we allow to come into our minds and hearts, we will be better able to discern truth and allow the Holy Ghost and Jesus Christ to speak truth and peace to our heart.

Our spiritual goal for this week is to seek for truth directly from God. Make time to be alone with God and to ask Him to help you find truth directly from Him. After praying just wait, have your journal ready, and write what comes into your heart and mind. Give yourself time to be present and ready to listen to Gods wisdom. Trust in Gods love, listen to His voice and feel in your heart the message that God has for YOU. ❤️

& if you want to allow more wisdom to come, let God speak to you directly from His words. Search His words and you’ll be amazed at the messages that are revealed to your heart and mind. Remind yourself that GOD LOVES YOU! As you choose to go to Him He will reveal truth to your heart and mind and even more amazing things than you think are possible. 🤍

So when the world offers many “truths,” measure them against the light of Christ. Ask yourself:

✨ Does it bring me closer to God?

✨ Does it fill my heart with peace?

✨ Does it align with what the Spirit confirms is right?

Truth will always pass those tests.

As the Savior taught, “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32). When we live in truth—His truth—we walk in light. And in that light, we cannot be deceived.

I hope that you can make it to class tonight at 7pm to release stress, strengthen your body and allow your mind and spirit to let go of stress and the voices of the world. Our meditation will be focused on inviting the light of Christ to fill your hearts and minds with His peace and love.

Remember to do your best ONE DAY AT A TIME. 💛

Love,

With everything happening in our world and the many challenges we each face, it’s easy to let the chaos increase and bring greater emotional stress, fear, and anxiety. Our peace is constantly being attacked. Research even shows that our addictions—and the ways we try to “numb” our emotions—are steadily increasing.

Have you noticed how much harder it’s becoming for people to control their thoughts, emotions, and reactions? Sadly, we’re turning into a society that’s more disconnected, divided, and dependent on outside things for comfort. We numb our emotional pain with distractions and forget how to stop, breathe, and quiet our minds and hearts.

Think about what you tend to reach for when you’re trying to “feel better”: food, your phone, TV, entertainment, shopping, social media, substances, or other habits that seem harmless at first. Over time, these things become our emotional crutches. They begin to control us. We lose our ability to genuinely regulate our inner peace. We forget to listen to ourselves—and most importantly—to ask God for help.

When we recognize the ways we rely on outside sources for peace, we can begin to examine those habits and gradually remove them from our lives. Often, we don’t even realize how much control those things have over our emotions. The more we reach outward for comfort, the more our inner light begins to dim. We become reactive, impatient, and uneasy—hurting not only ourselves but also those around us.

Remember: the enemy of your soul wants you to become dependent on outside things. He wants you to be enslaved by them. He’ll whisper that it’s too uncomfortable to sit with your feelings or look within—but that’s how he keeps you distracted and distant from God. If he can keep you from processing your emotions, from feeling peace, and from speaking to your Heavenly Father, then he wins—by making you as miserable as he is.

But God, our loving Father in Heaven, invites us to rise above that. He wants us to choose to turn to Him. He wants us to remember that we are His children—with divine access to His power, light, and peace. True and lasting peace doesn’t come from the world. It comes from God. He can give us peace in abundance, even in the middle of life’s storms. When we trust Him, we can remain calm, faithful, and steady—no matter what comes.

This week, I want to encourage you to take a deeper look within yourself. This might feel uncomfortable at first. You may be tempted to reach for your phone, turn on the TV, or distract yourself—but try instead to simply sit still for a moment and feel your feelings.

When something triggers you, take a breath. Close your eyes. Cover your ears if it helps, and notice what’s happening inside. See your thoughts and emotions clearly. Then, invite divine light into your heart and soul. Ask God to fill you with His love, His strength, and His peace. Let yourself feel that power flowing from Him into your heart, mind, and soul.

Nothing compares to that sacred feeling of peace that comes directly from God. ❤️

If you’d like, write down any impressions or wisdom that God places in your heart. The more open you are to receiving, the more He will give.

Take time to notice the things you use to “numb” emotional discomfort. Ask yourself:

• What steals my peace?

• What do I do when I’m angry, stressed, or anxious?

• Do those things bring me lasting peace—or do they leave me feeling empty?

These are important questions. Getting to know ourselves is part of our spiritual growth. We are meant to become our own best friend, cheerleader, and protector of peace. When we recognize what’s happening inside, we can consciously invite more goodness and easily reject negativity.

So, I invite you to practice breathing, feeling, and connecting with God whenever you notice inner chaos. Give yourself love and compassion. Be proud of your courage to look within—without needing anything external to help you do so. Reach toward the true Giver of Peace and allow Him to calm your heart and restore your soul.

Set a goal this week to be your inner peace keeper. In your quiet moments, connect with the divine source of peace and love—our Heavenly Father. Ask Him to help you focus on your inner light instead of the world’s distractions. As you practice, you’ll feel stronger, calmer, and more centered every day.

Remember the Savior’s words in John 14:27:

“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.” ❤️

Whatever is troubling you today—fear, stress, or sadness—take a moment to sit with those feelings. Breathe. Recognize what you feel and where it shows up in your body. Then say,

“I invite the peace of God to come and be with me. To heal me, strengthen me, and remind me of my divine light. I am love. I am peace. I am a child of God.”

Feel His calmness cover you. God will replace your pain with His peace and fill your heart with light and love. There is no greater therapy than inviting His presence into your soul.

Trust Him—He is the King of Peace, the Giver of all that is good, and the Creator of love and light. He will strengthen, lift, and comfort you every day.

Our spiritual goal this week:

To gain greater inner peace—to be the keeper and protector of our peace. To rely on God, not the world, for comfort and strength. To say,

“I choose this hour to keep my peace centered on God, who sees me, hears me, loves me, and helps me. I am the protector of my inner peace, and I choose light, love, and peace to surround me today.” 💛

Our physical goal: Exercise 2–3 times this week and nourish your body with water and nutrient-rich foods. 🫶🏼

I hope to see you in class tonight at 7 p.m. Make this promise to yourself—to care for your body, mind, and spirit. You’ll feel the difference as we practice becoming the keepers of our peace during our peaceful meditation.

With love,

We all have those moments when the storms of life rage and the winds of discouragement blow. It’s during those moments when it’s easy to feel uprooted—shaken by trials, hurt by others, or burdened by uncertainty. Yet, just as a tree stands firm because its roots reach deep into the nourishing soil, we too can stand strong when our roots reach deep into Christ, our Redeemer.

I love the thought of being rooted in Christ. To be rooted in Christ means that we focus on allowing to His love, His teachings, and His Spirit become the foundation that steadies our souls. In Him we are strong. In Him we are nourished in peace, love, compassion, faith and strength.

Paul taught; “As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith…” — Colossians 2:6–7

When our roots are in Christ, we are not defined by the storms around us but by the strength beneath us. 💛 We are able to focus on Christ and be reminded that “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)

The Savior said,

“Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them… is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock.” — Luke 6:47–48

That rock is Christ.

In the moments when people test our patience, when fear whispers doubts, or when our hearts ache from loss or loneliness, we can pause and remember where we are rooted. His light and love flow quietly beneath the surface, ready to sustain us if we stay connected through prayer, scripture, and stillness.

Tonight in class we will focus on a beautiful meditation about being rooted in Christ. I hope that you can join us to turn off the world and focus not only on strengthening your body but also allowing yourself to be rooted in Christ. Here’s are a few mindfulness exercises that you can practice today.

1. “The Deep Root” Breath

Sit still for a moment. Breathe deeply and imagine your breath drawing strength from deep roots reaching into Christ’s love.

As you inhale, say silently: “I am grounded in Christ.”

As you exhale, say: “He strengthens me.”

Let His peace fill your mind and body. Stay in this sacred stillness for one minute. 💛

2. “Scripture Root Reflection”

Open your scriptures and read one verse about Christ’s strength (for example, Philippians 4:13).

As you read slowly, ask:

• What truth is Christ teaching me here?

• How can this truth steady me today?
Write one short sentence to carry with you, such as “Christ is my anchor,” or “Through Him, I am strong.” Repeat it whenever challenges arise.

Here are a few anchoring scriptures to help us.

• “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” — Philippians 4:13

• “Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God.” — Doctrine and Covenants 123:17

• “Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” — Joshua 1:9

• “Ye must build your foundation upon my rock… a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.” — Helaman 5:12

❤️ That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. (Ephesians 3:17-19)

Our goal for this week is to strengthen our roots in Christ. To allow ourselves to feel His love in the difficult as well as in the beautiful moments that we face in our lives.

That we may live in gratitude daily for the ways in which we are able to “water our roots” & for the ways in which the storms of life also strengthen our roots. That we may trust in God daily and be able to be filly rooted in Him and feel His love no matter what we may be facing.

Remember that Christ doesn’t always calm every storm immediately—but when we are rooted in Him, He calms us first. ❤️ His roots of mercy, peace, and strength hold us steady when life feels uncertain. The deeper we let those roots grow—through faith, prayer, and obedience—the more unshakable we become.

Let your heart whisper today:

“No matter what comes, I will stay rooted in Christ. He is my rock, my Redeemer, and my rest.”

Love you all and hope to see you tonight at 7pm! 💖

Love,

On cloudy and rainy days, it’s easy to feel lazy, gloomy, or even discouraged. Storms—whether in the weather, our circumstances, or our thoughts—can weigh heavily on our hearts. But we are not powerless. God has given us the ability to choose how much of that darkness we let inside. Each day, we get to decide whether to carry the storms within us, or to seek out the sunshine. ☀️

It’s during the storms of our lives or when the negativity of the world gets to us, that we need to remember that nothing good is built on that negativity. If we continually look for the storm, we will miss the light. Instead, let’s choose to open our hearts to the good, the hopeful, and the uplifting. The more we look for God’s light, the more we will see how much sunshine we already have in our lives. 🌼

Here are a few ways to invite that light and push away the storm clouds:

• 🌿 Gratitude: Begin and end the day by naming blessings, big or small. Gratitude shifts our focus from what is lacking to what is abundant.

• 🤝 Service & Connection: Give your attention fully to a loved one, or serve someone quietly in need. Light grows as we share it.

• 🙏 Prayer & Scripture: God has given us His words for guidance and strength. When storms rise, turn to His promises. Memorize scriptures and listen to uplifting music that draws your attention to God and your divine light.

• 🌸 Mindful Presence: Peace is found by turning inward and remembering our divine nature as children of God. Even in chaos, we can pause, breathe, let our mind, body and soul unwind and invite the sunshine of Christ to light and bless the light within us to be brighter and stronger.💛

The scriptures remind us:

• “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7)💖

• “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you… Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (John 14:27) ❤️

• “Verily, verily, I say unto you, I will try you and prove you… nevertheless, my peace I will give unto you if you are faithful.” (Doctrine & Covenants 98:12, 18)💛

These words remind us that God wants us to be positive, hopeful, and resilient. Even when storms come, we can grow from them—just as flowers grow stronger after the rain. When we let go of the bad and hold on to the good, we carry more sunshine in our souls and we can share that light with others as well.

I invite you to focus on seeking the sunshine of a loving God who is able to open up the rain clouds of your life and pour His divine light and love over you. Over your mind, your heart and your soul.

He is able to bless you with His Peace which is greater than any other peace the world can give. So, lets be faithful to Him. Believe in Him. Come to Him and choose to reject the negativity and focus on bringing more of His light into our lives. That we continue to grow stronger in our faith each day having a spirit of happiness and of optimism about our lives. 🥰💛🙏🏼

WITH CHRIST ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! Trust Him and see what He can do in your life. As we strive to bring in the light, we can share our light with others and help them as well! 💝

We are not alone, God will help us with the pure and real desires of our hearts. Trust Him and know that ALL things in our lives will work out for our benefit be for our good. Even in the storms we can look for the sunshine. ☀️ Invite it into your life. Treasure it. Protect it. Take care of it and light others on your way as well. 🤗

✨ Our Spiritual Goal this week: When your mind seeks out storms, pause. Ask: Where is the sunshine here? What good can come from this? Then choose to focus on the light. 🌤️

🏃 Our Physical Goal this week: Do something active that brings you joy! Whether it’s walking on the beach, dancing, swimming, or simply stretching—let your body remind your mind that life is good and it’s a blessing to take care of your body.

I hope you can make it to class tonight! The hardest step is always showing up, but once you do, your mind, body, and spirit will thank you. It’s more than a workout—it’s a way of choosing light, healing, and joy. 🌞💛

Love you all!

The scriptures remind us that “godliness with contentment is great gain” (1 Timothy 6:6). In a world full of comparison, conflicts, and constant noise, this is more than just good advice—it’s a lifeline 💛

Contentment is not complacency, and it’s not apathy, it’s not about having less ambition, nor does it mean settling for mediocrity. True contentment comes when our hearts are anchored in God, when our worth is not measured by what we own, how we look, what we accomplish or what others think, but by who we are as beloved children of God.

When we practice godliness with contentment, we rise above the endless cycle of comparison. Instead of looking outward at what others have, do, or not do, we look upward and inward—upward to God’s love, and inward to the peace He has already placed within us.

The Savior taught, “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. (John 14:27). That peace is not found in competition or possession, but in CONNECTION—with God, with our divine nature, and with others in love. ♾️

When we can be content in Christ, when we know who we are as a child of God, when we know in the God that we know and trust. We find that there’s true peace and happiness. We stop relying on competition and instead we increase in our compassion.

We stop judging and instead we start giving more kindness, compassion and love. Our energy stops being “triggered” by comparison and instead we focus on what God has given us and what we can do for Him with what we have. Christ’s invitation is to seek first the kingdom of God, and let all other things fall into their proper place.

So, how can we live this?

• We can shift our focus: Each day, instead of measuring what we lack, make time to breathe and count what you already have through God’s grace.

• Live simply: The Prophet Alma taught that we should “plant the word” of God in our hearts and let it grow (Alma 32). A simple, growing faith creates a deeply rooted connection to our Father in Heaven. The creator and true giver of all that we have. 🌱

• Practice gratitude: Gratitude transforms what we have into enough, and enough into abundance. 🤩 Gratitude is proven to reduce anxiety, stress and to increase happiness. Don’t we all need a little more daily gratitude? 🧡

• Seek eternal perspective: As Paul reminded, “We brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out” (1 Timothy 6:7).

The goal is this: to live so filled with God’s light that we are no longer moved by the shifting winds of the world. To know that whatever we have here is all “borrowed” and temporary. What we end up taking with us is our soul! We truly take nothing with us. That’s why it’s so important to seek to build our Heavenly Mansion. To gain Heavenly treasures and some of the best ways we can reach that is by letting go of our pride, by humbling ourselves, by being grateful and happy with our blessings, trusting God and going out and serving others.

So, let’s work on not allowing the world to persuade us to complain and to be “unhappy”until we get or do this or that….We have to stop believing the lies of the enemy who wants to draw us away from God! from truly strengthening our souls (which is the only thing that we can actually take with us) Instead, our focus should be on making it a point that we strive to be anchored in Christ.

Living in Godly contentment. Which does not make us passive, but if anything it EMPOWERS US. It gives us strength to serve, to love, to uplift, and to walk through life with joy no matter the circumstances.

As the picture in this message shows that sunflower 🌼 I want to remind you that we are each our own type flower 🌺 🌸🌷🌻 created differently in Gods image. We can choose to be the best type of “flower” that we are. To influence in our sphere, to brighten others lives and most importantly to be grateful for the type of flower and beauty that we each get to share. God wants us to GROW WHERE WE ARE PLANTED. 💛🥹 🌷To live in gratitude daily for our blessings. To see all of the good that we have. To count our blessings and from there, be able to lift and help others as well.

So today, Choose godliness. Choose Contentment in the power that Christ provided. Choose to rise above comparison and conflict, and instead walk in peace. For when our hearts rest in God, we find not only contentment—but true and lasting joy.

Tonight in class, we will have a beautiful meditation, focused on contentment and gratitude. Here’s a little mindfulness exercise to help you.

Sit in silence, take a few deep breaths.

Move your attention gently through your life:

• Your breath, your body, your shelter, your loved ones, your faith.

• For each, pause and whisper: “Thank You, Lord.” This is our goal for the week. To practice it daily if we can. 🥰🙏🏼

This shifts the mind from what’s missing to what’s already given. This is a blessing to those of us who can practice it today.

Love you all and hope that you can make it to class tonight to release stress and do something amazing for your body, mind and spirit. Hope to see you there.

Love,

Lili 🌸

The world can feel overwhelming. Each day seems to bring more noise, more heartache, more uncertainty. Sometimes the heaviness around us makes its way inside of us, and we find ourselves weighed down—not just by the world’s troubles, but also by our own problems and the way in which we speak to ourselves. We become our own harshest critics, telling ourselves that we aren’t enough, that we’ll never measure up, or that somehow God’s love is too far away. We let the energy around us bring us down and we allow the heaviness to affect our every day life. 🙁

But the truth is, none of that comes from God. The adversary would love nothing more than to see us forget who we truly are. He wants us to live in misery every day. He wants us to feel heavy, unhappy, and to be critical of ourselves and others. Heavenly Father, on the other hand, always speaks to us with love. He reminds us to protect ourselves from the evil one through prayer. He wants us to know that He LOVES US. He reminds us of our divine identity as His sons and daughters. President Russell M. Nelson has taught, “Nothing is more liberating, more ennobling, or more crucial to your individual progression than knowing who you really are and knowing what God is counting on you to become.”

When we remember that we are children of God, the lens through which we see ourselves changes. Instead of focusing on our weaknesses, we begin to see that we are learning, growing, and becoming. We can see that the challenges we face are sometimes the most cleansing and purifying experiences we can have in our lives. We can choose to turn the focus away from the negative to allow God to purify, strengthen us and teach us. Instead of repeating negative messages to ourselves, we can practice speaking words of light! ☀️—reminders that God is patient with us, that He delights in our efforts, and that He sees our eternal potential. That we may become able to fully protect and shield ourselves from the enemy and instead focus on inviting light, love and peace to be with us. So, let’s practice changing the focus of our lives for it to become a blessing and not to be something that hurts us.

Changing Our Focus

Here are a few ways we can shift our focus when the world feels heavy:

1. Speak with kindness to yourself. When you make a mistake or feel discouraged, ask: “What would Heavenly Father say to me right now?” How would my Savior calm my heart right now? He would never shame you—He would encourage you. Replace your inner criticism with His voice of love. ❤️

2. Fill your mind with God’s word. Daily scripture study brings light and power. As we set a little time aside to come to Him in prayer and to read and listen yo His words, we will feel His strength coming into our lives. The Savior taught, “In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). His promises can become anchors of hope in our thoughts. HE IS OUR ANCHOR. ⚓️ & In Him we can find daily joy. 🙏🏼💛

3. Focus on gratitude and joy. President Nelson reminded us, “The joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives.” Choosing to notice God’s hand—even in small and simple ways—brings joy into daily living. Can you change your focus right now? Just by expressing gratitude for the blessings that you have today? 😭

4. Remember your purpose. Life is not just about surviving the storms. It’s about becoming more like Christ through them. When we keep an eternal perspective, the trials of life are not wasted—they refine us. The hard challenges we experience are opportunities for us to grow in different areas. These are not “punishments” from God. All of us, even the most faithful in this life have to experience some of the hardest challenges. But we know that in the end, if we endure it well with God by our side, we will see that all of the things we go through will give us experience and be for our good. You never know who you’re meant to bless or help based on the challenges you’ve experienced or will experience. We just have to remember in the living God that will help us through. In protecting the light within us and in remembering that we have a purpose in this life. God has a plan for your life. Trust Him and keep moving forward in His light and divine wisdom for your life. 🤍

Living with Purpose and Joy

Heavenly Father didn’t send us here to be swallowed by fear, shame, or despair. He sent us here to learn to live in joy, to discover His love, and to prepare to return to Him. The Holy Ghost whispers peace and truth, reminding us that God has not abandoned us. He is with us in the quiet moments, strengthening us to keep going.

So when the world feels heavy, lift your thoughts heavenward. Remind yourself of your divine nature. Replace the negative self-talk with God’s truth: You are loved. You have infinite divine worth and you are His child.

As we choose to focus on God, His love, and His plan for us, we find that the weight of the world grows lighter. We begin to live with a better purpose, filled with peace and joy that no amount of chaos can take away. We know in whom we trust and we focus on protecting that light and being a light to others instead. 💛

Our goal for the week is to check our inner thoughts, words and emotions. See them from a distance and ask yourself if those things align with what your loving Father in Heaven would speak to your heart and mind right now. Take a moment to connect to God and just feel His presence. Try to change the focus of your internal lens this week by placing your focus on God and on what He wants you to think about and to go and do. The more we’re able to check in on ourselves and allow God to help us…The more anchored we will feel and gratitude, joy, light and peace will flow into our lives. That’s the indescribable peace of God. ♥️

I invite you to come to class tonight to let go of your stress, to have a moment to think about your connection to your body, mind and spirit. Allow yourself to let go of the heaviness and instead fill yourself with strength for your body, peace for your mind and joy for your spirit. 💕

Love you all and hope to see you tonight at 7pm!

Love,

Lili 🌸
