Our life has a purpose. When God created each one of us He had a plan in mind and a mission for us to accomplish. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. God wants us to be hopeful, to trust Him and to do our best to accomplish His plans for us. As we place our trust in Him & come closer to Him our purpose will become clearer and He will be better able to guide us toward becoming who He desires us to become. ❤️

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

Having hope and faith in God brings us the power to act. We know that we can’t just wish for things to happen and that’s it. When we have faith in God we gain a stronger desire to ACT! we’re more willing to put in the work necessary toward reaching who we are meant to be. God said; “Whatsoever thing ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is good, in Faith believing that ye shall receive, behold it shall be done unto you.” (Moroni 7:26)

God is ready to bless us if we have a pure heart, if we seek Him & Ask Him, BELIEVING that we will receive. How amazing is that? This is where our faith is tested & where God is able to show Himself in our lives. Christ said; “If ye will have faith in me ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient in me.” (Moroni 7:33) That scripture promises us that we will have power through our faith to accomplish the desires of our heart that align with the desire that God has for us. So, with our Faith in God, we’re better able to see more clearly which goals we should focus on.

We can go to God & from Him receive wisdom and power to accomplish those things. We can then Act toward our goals taking the daily action to move closer to our goals. God will help us achieve our physical, spiritual, emotional or temporal goals. He knows what’s in our hearts and because He loves us and wants the best for us, HE WILL HELP US. TRUST IN HIM AND IN YOUR ABILITY TO DO THIS FOR YOURSELF. ❤️

Having faith allows us to act as if our goals are on their way. 😉 that belief and trust in God and in ourselves that we will make our goals possible with his help, will happen bring motivation. We can ask for daily wisdom to know what to focus on for this day, and we can move forward toward accomplishing that goal. Remember to start out with smaller goals that lead to the bigger goals. The more that we’re able to accomplish the small things the more momentum we will have to accomplish the bigger things. Practice seeing yourself accomplishing your daily goals. Visualize yourself doing it and having Gods help to achieve what is in your heart. feel yourself getting Healthier, stronger, becoming more peaceful, accomplished etc. ❤️

When you have those days when notice yourself comparing where you are to where you want to be, focus on this one question: “What single, small decision can I make right now to move forward in my process of becoming? Write down your thoughts and feelings and be aware of what comes to your mind. That’s one way you can know which action to take. Also, there may be times when we feel like giving up on our goals because we slipped or made a mistake. But remember to be kind to yourself, Don’t give up. Just take a moment to evaluate what led to the mistake and wether your process should be modified to help prevent it from happening in the future. If you know your goals are worth working toward you will keep trusting and moving forward with faith in God.

Finally, Remember that rather than focusing solely on the outcome of the goal, put your energy into the process of becoming. In a process, every moment is important. You can enjoy feelings of small daily successes. You can learn from setbacks, rather than treating them as signs of failure. In a process of becoming you can find joy in each moment, you can be grateful for the opportunity to be a work in progress. You trust that as long as you are working the process, which is an essential part of exercising faith in God, reaching your goal will be the natural outcome.

So, make it a point today to re-evaluate your goals! Think about what you’re working toward and what God wants you to place as your top priorities. Align yourself to that knowledge and that desire to work toward the things which are important. Make a plan, start small, visualize and give yourself grace and the motivation that you need to accomplish each thing. If we want something we just work toward it. Make it a pleasure to work on yourself and on your journey of becoming. Find joy in this journey and move forward trusting and having faith in God and in yourself. ❤️

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

Our spiritual goal for the next few weeks is to accomplish some goals. Set 3 goals that you want to work toward. Break down the steps and set aside the time daily to act on them. Ask God in Faith to help you & get to work 😉 you can do it! Plus, God has promised the POWER for you to accomplish it. Stay motivated and make it it happen. HOPE, ACT & ACCOMPLISH ❤️

Our Physical goal for the week is to exercise at least 3 days and to eat as clean as we can. Choose nutrient rich snacks and try to remove the sugary drinks. The only exception will be thanksgiving day 😉 try to be good this week in your choices. That can be one of your goals to try to accomplish. Make it easy for yourself by having healthy snacks available so you don’t get super hungry and reach for the bag of chips in the pantry. try it out and feel the difference in your mood and energy. Your body will thank you for choosing good food 🙂 ❤️

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

Hope to see you there and that you’re able to keep this message and goals in your heart. God will strengthen you & help you to accomplish them. Trust Him & DO YOUR BEST ONE DAY AT A TIME. ❤️

Love,

Lili

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love,
Lili

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Often times our thoughts and conversations are so focused on the future or the past, that we forget to focus on the present. Being Present is bringing full awareness to the moment we are in. Filtering out distractions and bringing our attention to the task at hand.

Doing this allows the combined stresses of life to fade to the background as we focus on being right here, doing whatever it is that we are doing right now. With a focused mind and a sense of gratitude for this very moment.

As we’ve talked about in class, one of ways to improve our ability to come into the present moment is to calm the mind in meditation. Meditating at any time of the day, brings rewards that filter into all aspects of life. Any time Is the perfect time to refresh or renew ourselves. We just have to choose to make the time for it and allow it to actually benefit us.

Between our regular meditations or moments of quietness and prayer, we can use short meditations for even one or two minutes that can be refreshing, calming, centering and good for our health and clarity. They open the window of communication to our higher wisdom, returning us to our spiritual perspective and allowing us to connect to God and to ourselves. This allows us to focus on God’s peace, (which as we’ve talked about is already within us) We can center our attention on Love and trust which will allow us to take actions from a place that is centered, confident and peaceful.

Our Goal for this next week is to bring ourselves to this calming connection as many times a day as possible. And most importantly to PRACTICE IT WHEN WE NEED IT MOST! We can practice becoming more present in our daily tasks. You can practice 5,4,3,2,1 and focusing on the tasks on your senses, on really allowing yourself to be more present and in the moment. We may have to remove distractions and take some deep breaths, but we can do it. 🙂 The more we practice and allow ourselves to live more in the present, the better we will be able to enjoy one day a time with focused energy.

Here’s one way you can practice this.

▫️Stop what you’re doing.

▫️Take three deep breaths and allow yourself to feel what is going on in your body and mind.

▫️Invite the calming peace and love to be with you.

▫️ Start your next task with gratitude, kindness joy, compassion and love.

The choice of how you want to live and what we want to focus on, will always be ours. Choose what is best for your Mind, Body and Soul. This is your life and you can choose to make it joyful, peaceful and beautiful. Allow God to help you align to that peaceful, loving and beautiful energy one moment at a time.

Hope that you can allow yourself to have more moments to access your inner oasis. Can’t wait to see you tonight at 6pm so that we may strengthen your Body, Mind and Spirit. And do something amazing for ourselves today. ❤️

Love,

Lili

We all have insecurities and moments when we judge ourselves. Unfortunately, Social media and the world around us isn’t helping us gain more self esteem either. If anything it’s constantly adding more to our insecurities. The more that we focus on those things, the more that our minds become used to creating more thoughts of criticism and judgment about ourselves.

It’s time for us to take power over our thoughts and create within ourselves that shield to keep those thoughts from coming in and attacking our minds and hearts. Instead, we can strengthen our relationship with ourselves by creating uplifting thoughts about ourselves and our connection to God.

Part of the reason why we’re here on earth, is for us to learn how to truly love ourselves. We all eventually grow old and age and we have to be ok with the changes that our physical body will go through. That’s part of what God wants us to experience. He wants us to learn that the love for ourselves it’s not only about “physical beauty” but it’s connected to way more than that. We can choose to go through life criticizing and judging ourselves or we can go through life focusing on being more grateful and creating more uplifting, loving and positive thoughts about ourselves.

God has given us a spirit that resides in our body, and our goal is to strengthen the relationship between our spiritual self and our physical self. 💗 As were able to strengthen that connection and to align ourselves more fully with our Heavenly Father, we’ll be able to realize that our spirit comes from His presence. That we are built in divinity. And that He created each of us individually different, with so much beauty and capacity to grow within our souls.

The more comfortable we become with being able to feel our soul in this body, the more we will want to take care of it and of our body. You can you take a moment to just close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and allow yourself to feel your soul and that light of God within you.

Try to notice the light of your soul, where it comes from, what attributes it has and what it’s made of! 💛 It’s amazing when you can connect to that knowledge, what you’re able to realize that for yourself. 😍 When you open your eyes, write down what you felt or what came to you from that exercise. God is able to give us so much from moments like this. Trust in Him and know that He will guide you and help you to realize your potential. 💖

Once we find that Spiritual connection to our soul and to the presence of God. We can understand that just as we have that divine light within us, we can invite it to also cover us externally as well. We can express daily gratitude for what our physical bodies can do. We can be grateful for having this soul that comes from divinity and is able to live in this physical body. We can be grateful for how our body takes care of us so perfectly. It heals itself, it pumps blood to all of the organs it keep our eyes moist and allows us to breathe and move…the more we’re able to be present and aware of the gift of our body, the more our gratitude for it will grow.

This week our goal is to aligning our spiritual self with our physical self. We will wake up each morning and write 3-5 things that we’re thankful that our bodies can do. We can also allow ourselves to express that gratitude to God in prayer. 💛 We can ask Him to allow His divine light and love to reside in us internally and externally today. We can ask Him to help us choose the right food, exercise, thoughts and words that are loving to our body, Mind and Spirit. And we can think of ways to express that love for ourselves and to share that light with others as well.

As we find our divine connection the love of God and of ourselves grows! We can invite more of that love to be with us spiritually and physically. This will add more peace, comfort , security and confidence into our lives. We will no longer “depend” on what the world says that is beautiful or not, because we will already know within ourselves that we are beautiful to the most important and amazing being in the universe. The creator of our Soul, Mind & Body. And as we know that, our love for ourselves will grow and nothing will take that away from us. ❤️

So, today express your gratitude to God for the gift of this body and gift of allowing your soul to be here inside this body today. 💛 For the opportunity that we have to take care of our Body, Mind and Spirit today. It’s a blessing and a gift to have another day. We can choose to live it in light and gratitude and we can make that connection stronger within ourselves through the power of our thoughts, love for ourselves, Gratitude and prayer.

Notice your divine light! look at yourself in the mirror and express love for yourself. Take a moment to also look beyond your physical beauty and find that divine beauty within you looks like. Allow both of those areas to connect more fully. And glorify God in who you are becoming. 💖

You are beautiful, Inside and out. Try to see yourself as a little child, speak kindly to yourself to have compassion for yourself, be forgiving and loving to yourself. Encourage yourself to be more positive so that you won’t be affected by the world…but instead being more fully connected to divinity always! God creates DIVINE THINGS! And YOU ARE DIVINE! 💖

Hope that you can make it to class tonight at 6pm to express more of that love for yourself physically mentally and spiritually. 💖 Can’t wait for us to do this for ourselves! 🧘🏻‍♀️🥰❤️

love,

Lili 🌸

Where does your peace come from? We may all have different answers to this question. Some may say that it comes from financial stability, from accomplishing goals, or from achieving a certain level of physical or emotional standard that we set for ourselves.

As we get older we realize that there are definitely many financial, material, and physical things that bring *COMFORT* into our lives. These things don’t actually bring peace, even though we tend to think that they do.

True internal peace can only come from how we feel within ourselves. It is not defined by our accomplishments or anything physical, material or financial. It’s deeper than that. It has to do with our soul. With how honest we are with ourselves and others and with the type of relationship that we have with God. It allows us to feel more at peace for that moment when we’re called to meet Him. 🤍

In class we often do a meditation to help us disconnect from all material and physical things, to just connect to God. It is in those moments when we can see that internal peace come through. That knowledge of knowing that if we we’re striped of everything, we could still hold on to God, to His love, and to trusting in the plan that He has for each and every one of us. 💛

Gratitude is one of the ways we can connect to internal peace. When we’re grateful, we can easily acknowledge the hand of God in all things. We become even more humble, teachable, patient and loving with ourselves and others. The more that we’re grateful for all that we have and are, the more we’re able to feel peace in knowing that God will continue to provide and take care of us. Having a grateful heart only allows for more blessings to come upon us.

Our goal is to invite internal peace to allow it to be more present with us daily. Remember that peace is already within us and it’s part of who we are as children of God. It just requires us to focus on it a little more. To live in gratitude daily and to feel connected to the the love of God and of ourselves one day at a time. 💗

That way, when things change in our lives and difficulties come, we won’t allow fear or other things to disrupt our internal peace. But instead allow peace to be our anchor to God and to His divine light, love, power and peace for our lives. This will allow us to remain stable and confident in ourselves and in God daily. 💛

Here’s a little meditation to help you today. 💖

As you read, sit comfortably and extend upwards from your seat, lengthen and strengthen your spine, setting your shoulder slightly back to open the heart. Inhale deeply through your nose and take a long exhale. Once again inhale deeply and take a long exhale.

Now imagine your heart glowing with radiant light and allow yourself to feel connected to an unending stream of grace that pours through the top of your head.

*Inhale love and see it filling your heart.

*Exhale love and see it flowing around your loved ones and even out to the entire earth.

*Inhale joy and smile as it enters your heart.

* Exhale joy and watch it envelop your loved ones and all beings.

* Inhale peace and allow it to fill your heart to overflowing, even to the point where you feel it all over your entire soul and body. Allow yourself to flow in peace for a moment.

*Exhale peace and see it wrapped around yourself, your loved ones, all living things and even out to the entire planet.

Back to the first step, and repeat with dedicated, blissful focus.

Isn’t it amazing that something as simple as a breath can make big changes in our mind, body and soul? Using the power of visualization, breathing and praying can allow us to connect to peace. Allow yourself to feel that peace more often and to use that energy to spread love, joy and peace to all beings. 💛

Love you all and hope to see you tonight at 6:30 pm. To give yourself the gift of releasing stress and instead allow yourself to strengthen your Body, Mind and Spirit. 💖🥰🧘🏻‍♀️🌅

For the majority of us, self care is usually at the bottom of our to do list or sometimes it’s not even there at all. Our days are focused on giving ourselves in service to others, creating, learning, living, being and doing. Until at the end of the day we realize that we’re just exhausted and we had no time to give to ourselves much of anything.

As I’ve experienced this in my life, I’ve started to realize that self care Self care is a spiritual practice. I believe that as we practice loving ourselves, we will be able to make our connection to God even stronger. Self-care and self-love is the foundation of all spiritual practices. If we don’t honor ourselves, we can’t possibly honor our oneness with God and all of His creations. If we don’t care for ourselves, we are unable to serve others from the empty well. If we don’t see that we are a magnificent reflection of God, of His love and of His goodness then we can’t be God’s magnificent reflection in the world.

As we’re able to love ourselves and to see the light of God flowing within us, we will be better able to express more love for ourselves and for others. It will become easier to make wise choices about the way we spend our time, how much time we spend on social media, what we choose to do with our time or the ways in which we choose to strengthen our body, mind and spirit daily.

We can only become what we accept ourselves as being. So let’s accept our magnificence, our divine connection to God. Our ability to love ourselves MORE and to give more fully to ourselves and to those around us.

Here are a few things that we can practice in the world around us.

💖 Be kind in the way that you think of yourself. Edit out any negative or unkind thoughts.

💖 Be kind to your body in all ways, fueling it with healthy foods, exercise and plenty of joyful activity.

💖 Be kind to yourself by seeing your spirit as a radiant, powerful expression of God‘s love.

💖 Be kind to yourself by taking downtime when your mind, body and spirit requested from you. You will know when you feel resistance-that feeling of dragging yourself from one event to the other. Remember to stop, check in with yourself, get present, take some deep breaths and treat yourself as a beloved child of God. Listen for His wisdom and all else will be accomplished with greater ease.

💖 Lovingly remind yourself that it’s important to care for yourself and that you deserve some time each day for that. You can also say to yourself; I lovingly care for myself knowing that I am a child of God, radiant powerful and beautiful. When I am clear and healthy, I enjoy life more deeply and I love others more fully.

Love you all and I hope that you can grow that love within yourself 💖🙏🏼🥰 You’re in control of your thoughts, feelings and actions. Make them work for your benefit and God will bless you for your good efforts. Tonight we will focus on loving ourselves by taking some time to strengthen our Body, Mind and Spirit. Hope that you can make it at 6:30pm & do this for yourself. 💪🏼🥰💛

Love,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love,

Motivation requires us to tap into our “why” to ask ourselves; “Why do I want to do this for myself?”That means digging deep to find that thought, goal, or reward that will get you moving today.

You can also take a moment to be aware and recognize the excuses that you constantly give yourself to not exercise. Think of the thoughts that pop up for you, Write them down, And ask yourself if they’re true?…Tonight in class we will talk about our thoughts and how to help them work for us and not against us. So, try to be aware and make sustaining motivation easier by recognizing and eliminating your excuses before they happen.

Most importantly, realize that you deserve to love and take care of yourself today. ☀️You deserve that time to strengthen yourself physically, emotionally and Spiritually. Exercise brings positive consequences into your life and as you tap into that love for yourself you’ll find that you can be motivated to do something good for yourself today! ?

Remember that you can do all things with Gods help too! Ask Him to help you find the motivation, the thoughts and actions to help you choose what is best for you today. He wants you to choose to do those things that will strengthen yourself not only physically but also mentally and spiritually. So that you may be a strong child of His and so that you may continue to experience the love, joy and peace of God in your life daily. It will require your awareness, and your desire to feel positive thoughts and actions in your life. You get to choose! ???

The more you PRACTICE MOTIVATING YOURSELF the easier it will get. ?? Focus on doing it ONE DAY AT A TIME. And begin to notice the difference one day at a time.

When you begin to do this for yourself consistently, focusing on your “why” on the awareness of your thoughts, on asking God to help you choose positive thoughts and feelings that will allow you to take the action toward that goal. You gradually fill your motivational stores as you understand what gets you moving. You’re better able to put on those workout clothes and to get outside to do something for yourself. You’re better able to choose good thoughts to help you not only love yourself more but also strengthen yourself emotionally and spiritually. The practice and not being judgmental of ourselves will make all the difference. ?

So, focus on your “why” today. Your own actions are what generate that feeling you’ve been searching for. Allow that love for yourself to expand and grow today. Choose to do something good for your yourself today! You deserve it and you need that opportunity to release stress, to feel proud of yourself for doing something that required your own mental work and motivation ??? what an awesome opportunity to prove to yourself what you can do and overcome. So, prove it to yourself and experience that amazing feeling of accomplishment one day at a time.

Love,
Lili ?
