We’ve all experienced moments when we feel uncomfortable by something we’re watching, or the things that we listen to. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I had an experience recently when I decided to watch a documentary. I thought this documentary would be interesting, but instead it turned dark very quickly. I instantly felt my soul tell me that this wasn’t good for my mind and spirit. So, I turned it off and I quickly closed my eyes and said a little prayer asking God to help me bring good things to my mind. I’m thankful that I was able to listen to that little voice and that I was able to take action in that moment. After praying, I instantly heard this scripture pop into my mind.

“The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.”Matthew 6:22

I realized at that moment that what I allow to enter into my eyes absolutely has an influence in what I feel In my spirit. What I watch and listen to does matter and it does affect the amount of light or darkness that is within each one of us.

So, how important is it that we learn to listen to that little voice? That voice of the spirt which tells us what is good and what is not? And how important is it that each one of us learns to protect our eyes, ears and mind from the things of the world?

We live in a world filled with endless distractions, voices, opinions, influences etc, but the Savior’s words in Matthew 6:22 feel incredibly relevant to us today. Jesus teaches us that what we choose to focus on affects every part of our lives. The “eye” that Jesus is speaking about is more than our physical sight, it represents our attention, our desires, our thoughts, and what we allow to enter into our hearts. 💛

When our eyes are “single” to God, focused on truth, goodness, and Christ, our lives become filled with His light. His peace is able to replace our confusions, fears and challenges. When our eyes are “single” that means that we choose to focus on hope and allowing that hope to overcome our discouragements, we also focus on allowing out trust or faith in Him to become stronger than our fears. His light can replace any darkness that we may be experiencing.

Every day, we are making choices about what we allow into our minds and hearts. The books we read, the media we consume, the conversations we participate in, and even the thoughts we entertain, all shape who we are becoming. While the world often encourages us to fill our minds with noise, comparison, negativity, and endless distractions, Jesus Christ invites all of us to fill our hearts and minds with light.

If you have a chance to read Mathew 6: You may also notice that Jesus is speaking about the love of money. He invited us to build treasures in Heaven where moth and rust does not corrupt and where thieves won’t steal…He wants our focus to NOT be upon the love of money, or the material things of this world. He teaches us that where our heart is ❤️.. That is where our treasure will be also.

So, think for a moment about where your heart is? Are you centering your heart on material things? On money? On the things if this world? Or is your heart “single”, focused or centered on the things of God. On things that are eternal, that won’t be rusted or stolen…Think about where your true treasure lies. 💖

Theres another scripture that helps us to know what should focus on & it says;

“Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report… think on these things.” (Philippians 4:8)

How amazing that Paul teaches us this, he doesn’t just tell us to just avoid darkness. Instead he’s invites us to ACTIVELY SEEK LIGHT! 💛 There is a difference. Our spiritual growth doesn’t come from avoiding harmful influences; it comes from intentionally looking for things that draw us closer to our Savior. The things that invite the light into our lives. ❤️🥰

When we spend time daily in God’s words, our minds become clearer. When we offer sincere prayers, our hearts become softer. When we choose gratitude instead of complaining, when we choose kindness over criticism, and faith over fear, we allow the Spirit of God to dwell within us. We’re better able to recognize the difference between the good and the bad and we’re better able to shield ourselves and protect ourselves with the true light of Christ that overpowers darkness.

That light that we bring does matter and it eventually tells us where our hearts and treasures truly lie.

One of the greatest spiritual disciplines we can gain is learning to guard and protect our hearts. ❤️

Proverbs 4:23 teaches:

“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”

Here are a few questions we can ask ourselves:

Does this create peace or anxiety?

Does this inspire faith or feed fear?

Does this bring me closer to Christ or farther away from Him?

Does this help me see others as God sees them?

Does this fill me with light?

We can recognize not every influence is obviously harmful, but not every influence is helpful either. As we choose to follow Christ, we are invited to be intentional about what we focus on and what we give our attention to. 💛

The more we fill our lives with God’s light, the easier it becomes to recognize darkness when it appears.🛡️ We can shield and protect ourselves by listening to that little voice and intentionally begin looking for the good and the light of God around us.

This week, our goal is to set aside five minutes each day to do a “Light Check.”

Find a quiet place and take several slow breaths.

Offer a prayer asking Heavenly Father to help you recognize His presence.

Read Matthew 6:22 slowly a few times.

Then close your eyes for a minute and think about these questions:

What has been occupying most of my thoughts lately?

What has brought light into my life this week?

What is one thing I may need to let go of that is distracting me from Christ?

Write down one blessing you have seen from God today.

End with gratitude, thanking the Lord for His guidance and light.

As we intentionally focus on Christ, we begin to notice His hand more clearly in our daily lives. We discover that His light has been present all along.

Jesus said:

“I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” (John 8:12)

The Savior never promised a life without challenges, we will all have difficulties to overcome…but our Savior did promise that we would have His light. 🥹 We’re the ones who have to invite that light into our eyes, our ears, our mind and heart ❤️ 💪🏼 Each day we have the opportunity to bless our minds with uplifting messages our eyes to be filled with light and our hearts to be centered of the things that are above this world. 🌎 ⬆️

Christ invited us to rise above. To set our hearts and minds on eternal treasures rather than on money, lust or things that are unhealthy for our hearts, mind and soul. His truth still guides. His words are true. His love still heals. His grace still strengthens. & there’s nothing more beautiful than being able to experience God for yourself in your own life and in your own way.

So, let’s fix your eyes on Him, let’s allow our hearts to be protected and become steadier, our minds to be filled with light so that we may see clearer, and our lives to become brighter so that we can reflect the light of Christ for others to see.

Our physical goal for the week is

To spend at least 15 minutes each day outdoors without digital distractions. Go for a walk and notice God’s creations, breathe deeply, and allow your mind to rest from the constant noise of the world and instead feel your connection to God becoming stronger.

Our Spiritual Goal is to:

Begin and end each day by reading one scripture about light, hope, or faith. Pray for the ability to recognize what invites the Spirit into your life and what may be taking your focus away from Christ. Ask Heavenly Father to help you invite light into every hour of your day. 💛

As we choose to seek Him this week, I hope and pray that our eyes will be filled with His light, that our hearts will be covered by His peace, and that our lives may be filled with the joy that comes from walking closely with the Savior and having the light flowing constantly within us. 🥰💛🙏🏼

Hope that you can make it to class tonight at 7pm to strengthen ourselves physically, mentally and spiritually. 🥰 Class will be canceled next week. So, hopefully you can join us tonight and invite others to benefit as well. ❤️🙏🏼

Love you all and hope to see you there.

Last week in class, I had a beautiful experience. I had come prepared to give a meditation in class that I thought would be fitting for that night. But as soon as I was about to start, I noticed that I couldn’t say the words that I had planned.

Instead, I noticed an image coming to my mind in which I saw clouds covering the sky above me. At that moment, the thought also came to me that those clouds are like our thoughts. I knew at that moment that God wanted me to share this image with the class and I was grateful for what He was allowing me to see. ☁️ I began describing what the image looked like. The sky was dark, clouds covering everything in my view and I asked the women in class to see those dark clouds as their negative thoughts and notice each one of them for a moment.

Have you noticed how many of your thoughts are negative? How many of those thoughts cover the sky of your mind daily and even hourly? All the comparisons, judgments, feelings of inadequacy, sadness, fears, unhappiness etc? Have you noticed how the world around us is constantly focused of pessimism on negativity, on darkness? 🙁 & Can you feel that world creeping into your mind, heart and thoughts constantly?

As humans we’re basically wired to focus on threats because bad things require our immediate attention and sadly, the negative thoughts stick to our minds more than the positive thoughts. That’s why we have to practice learning how to protect ourselves and check our thoughts a little more often. ✅❌

In the meditation I did in class last week, I asked them to notice the clouds, to see the negative thoughts and look a little beyond that to see the light behind the clouds peeking through. ⛅️ I asked them to focus on that light until the clouds of their minds began to clear completely and all they could see and feel was the sun! ☀️

I told them that the sun is the light of Christ! 💛 His light is able to penetrate any clouds of our mind. His light is able to touch every part of our lives if we allow it to do so. We can invite the light of Christ to bring His light to that very thought that we may be struggling with. To ask the Lord to help us to heal that thought and to help it go away so that we may focus on His light and Love instead. ❤️

Romans 12:2 says 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is. His good, pleasing and perfect will.💛

Our amazing and powerful minds are given to us so that we may learn how to manage them, protect and nourish them. We do have the ability to control what we think about, and those thoughts affect all of the areas of our lives.

For example; notice how you feel when your thoughts are pessimistic and how that trickles to other areas of your life. Also, take a moment to notice the difference, when your thoughts are filled with light, the moments when you choose to TRUST GOD instead of believing the lies of the world. Think of the moments when you’ve been compassionate toward those who have hurt you, when you’ve felt peace and true joy and how those thoughts also affect you life, your energy and your surroundings. 🥰💛

This week I had a few opportunities to be in rooms filled with people, the thought ame to my mind as I looked around the room, that all of us have our own clouds we’re dealing with. 😔☁️ You may think someone is rude, when in reality the clouds of their minds are really just covering their mind during those moments. It doesn’t matter how wealthy we are, how beautiful, how powerful or popular we are…

There are people whose mental skies are covered in clouds of comparison, dissatisfaction, they’re focused on the negative and they’re unable to see past those clouds. 🙁 That’s when we need to remember to rise above our own clouds 🌤️and be compassionate toward others. Reach out in love and not judge the clouds they may be experiencing. As we learn to manage our own thoughts we’re able to reach out in love to others and help them with their own clouds as well. 💛

Today I would like to invite you to look for the light of the sun in the sky of your mind. ☀️ Clear the negative thoughts and focus instead on practicing and exercising your mind, heart and soul to focus instead on the light! Let the Lord become your teacher. Let Him help you let go of your negative thoughts and allow yourself to focus on seeing and feeling the light in your life more and more! 🤩 After all, this is your life and you get to choose what you want to focus on. 💪🏼🥰💛

Remember that your Father in Heaven gave you this mind for you to learn to manage it. He wants to remind you that light overcomes darkness. Light fills your heart with true joy and happiness. So, focus on the light! Focus in the good! Focus on Christ and notice how this will clear your mind and heart and allow you to live a happier more fulfilling life than anything else that the world can offer. 🥰 There’s nothing better than having a joyful and peaceful soul. & it all starts with your thoughts and what you guide your mind to focus on and to see. ❤️

There’s a beautiful scripture in Philippians 4:8

Which says; Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things.

Let’s make it our goal to think about what is good, loving, kind, pure. Let’s stop listening to all of the pessimism of the news and the world around us. Lets focus instead on the beauty that surrounds us. On the light of Christ and on the light that we can be to others. We can focus on helping our friends and families to clear the dark clouds of their minds as well. 🥰🌤️💛 God will see what’s in our heart and He will bless us for our efforts to focus on the good and notice the light more and more.

Our spiritual goal for the week is to; Focus on the sunshine no matter how dark the days, the thoughts or the circumstances may feel…Ask the Lord to help you see the light and He will be there to help you see it, feel it and transform you heart and mind. 🙏🏼💛

Our physical goal for the week is to bring light to our physical body as well by choosing good food and daily movement to help us feel recharged and energized. 💪🏼

Love you all and I hope that you can make it to class tonight to strengthen and renew yourself physically, mentally and spiritually. Last week we had a beautiful class! & I can’t wait to see how tonight will go! Hope that you can join us and fill yourself with a little more light today. 🥰🙏🏼☀️

Love,

Sometimes in life we become so focused on what we are still waiting for that we forget to remember all that God has already done for us. We pray for answers, direction, healing, peace, or miracles, and when things feel uncertain it can be easy to think that He is silent. But if we pause for a moment and look back, we will often see that His hand has been present all along throughout the ups and downs of our life.

If we think back on our life’s challenges, there were moments when we thought we would not make it through, yet somehow we did. There were doors that opened unexpectedly, burdens that became lighter, strength that came at the exact moment we needed it, and blessings that could not have happened without divine help. Sometimes God’s miracles are dramatic and amazing, and I’m so thankful for the miracles I’ve clearly seen in my life. But sometimes miracles quiet and not as noticeable. Maybe it can be a feeling of peace, the right person showing up at the perfect time, protection we did not even realize we needed, or the courage to take one more step forward.

This week I read in Joshua 1: where the Lord says “Be strong and of good courage” and I thought about how that ties to us. I realized that we can be strong when we rely on the Lord. When we realize and REMEMBER the type of God that He is. How loving, kind, forgiving and amazing He is. We can be courageous in the Lord when we remember that even though we experience fear we still trust a God that is greater than our fears. A God of miracles. & that we ourselves can experience miracles in our lives today if we choose to see them. 💛

I love to remind myself that God is still a God of miracles. The same God who parted seas, healed the sick, comforted the brokenhearted, and strengthened ordinary people throughout the scriptures, is the same God who walks beside each one of us today. His power has not disappeared. His love has not changed. And His awareness of us is constant.

One of the hardest things to do is trust Him when we cannot yet see the outcome. We want clarity before faith, certainty before obedience, and answers before patience. But faith often means moving forward before everything else makes sense. It means believing that God can see what we cannot. My husband calls it Faithing it! 😉 We gottta Faith it and let the Lord do what He can for us. 💪🏼🥰❤️

As we trust Him, He will guide our path. Some doors will open perfectly and clearly, while others will close no matter how hard we try to force them. Sometimes we forget to see that the closed doors are just as much a blessing as the open ones. God does not withhold good things from us to punish us, He guides us according to His greater wisdom and a deeper love than we can fully comprehend.

Proverbs 3:5–6 says: “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”

I think one of the greatest spiritual habits we can develop is remembering. Remembering the prayers He answered before. Remembering the times He carried us. Remembering how He provided when we saw no way forward. I’ll never forget the words of a dear friend of mine who always says; “Gods fingerprints are all around you. Look for the daily fingerprints in your life and it will change your world.” 🤩 Gratitude strengthens our faith because when we remember His faithfulness in the past, it becomes easier to trust Him with the future. ❤️

If you feel that you are in a season of waiting, do not lose hope. If you are praying for something that feels impossible, faith it! 😉 & keep believing. God still works in ways we cannot always see yet. Sometimes miracles happen suddenly, and sometimes they unfold little by little over time. But His timing is never wasted and all that happens will be for our good. 💖

This week, instead of focusing only on what is missing, try focusing on what God has already done. Let your heart notice the evidence of His goodness! See the fingerprints, notice the little and bigger miracles in both the big and small moments of life. For example look at the sunrise, notice the peace that you after prayer, the strength that you receive to keep going, the kindness of others, the opportunities that appeared unexpectedly, the friend that listened to you or the hug that you received…all of the these are reminders that Heaven is closer than we think.

Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God.” I love the reminder from God that even when life circumstances feel hard, I can still choose to be still and KNOW or “Remember”the type of AMAZING GOD THAT HE IS. ❤️

Take a moment and find a quiet place for a few minutes each day this week. Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and take slow deep breaths. As you inhale, think:

“The Lord is with me.”

As you exhale, think:

“I can trust Him.”

Then gently reflect on moments in your life where you felt guided, protected, comforted, or blessed. Picture those memories clearly. Allow gratitude to fill your mind instead of fear or worry. End your quiet time by simply saying a little prayer of gratitude for all the moments He’s been there and for the moments you’ll see today.

Our Physical Goal for the Week is:

To take a daily 15-minute walk outside without music or distractions. Use that time to slow down, notice the beauty around you, and thank your father in Heaven for specific blessings in your life. Let your walk become a moment of peace, reflection, and connection with Him. 💖

Our Spiritual Goal for the Week:

Keep a small “God’s hand in my life” journal this week. Each night, write down at least one way you saw God’s love, guidance, help, or blessing during the day or his fingerprints, 😉 even if it seems small. By the end of the week, you may begin to recognize that miracles are happening around you more often than you realized.

Hope that you can make it to class tonight to release stress, strengthen yourself and leave feeling uplifted and peaceful. Love you all and hope to see you tonight at 7pm. 🥰💖🤗

Love

We all experience times of disappointment or when things don’t work out as we had planned. Oftentimes one of the greatest sources of pain is not what actually happened… but what we expected would happen.

We expect people to understand us, support us, include us, comfort us, respond the right way, or love us the way we love them. We expect circumstances to work out perfectly and prayers to be answered quickly. And when those expectations are unmet, our peace can begin to fail, unravel and we can feel disappointed and sad.

It’s important to know that we can all acknowledge and take a moment to mourn the things that maybe didn’t work out the way we had hoped or planned. Life teaches us different lessons, and it’s important for us to be ok with mourning the losses…but at the same time we also need to be open to learning, growing and coming to God to receive His wisdom on how to react to the circumstances we may be facing.

The Savior taught us something beautiful in John chapter 14. This is when Jesus is speaking to His disciples during a deeply uncertain and emotional moment. He knew they were afraid. He knew things would not unfold the way they had hoped. And yet He lovingly told them:

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.” John 14:1

I love that reminder! The reason I’m writing this message, is because I had an experience this week with “expectations” not going the way I had planned. I found myself “mourning” what I had hoped would happen. But I made a choice to get on my knees and pray. I asked God to help me process my emotions and I love what He did for me after praying.

I felt the Lord speak to my heart and He told me to look at the scriptures on my nightstand and just open them. When I happened to open to John 14 and I began reading. I could feel that the lord was speaking directly to me! 🥹 He told me to “not let my heart be troubled by those things”. He told me to BELIEVE IN GOD AND BELIEVE IN HIM! In my Savior Jesus Christ who had just answered another one of my prayers. I felt so grateful for that. 😭💖

He didn’t tell me anything about my circumstances changing. In fact, nothing had changed at that moment. But I realized that there was absolute power in the words of Christ. I could allow the circumstances to get to me and bring me down. OR, I could allow myself to believe in the Savior! In His wisdom for my life and the plan that He has for me. I could put my trust in God more than I trust in people, finances, health, circumstances or anything else that I put above God.

I felt strongly and I actually told my kids that Jesus Christ is the BEST THERAPIST IN THE WORLD!! 😝🌎 I came to Him when I needed Him and He spoke directly to my heart at the moment when I needed Him to. By inviting me to read John 14: 13-14 Where He says;

13. “And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name⁠, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.”

Those words are exactly what I needed to hear! I came to Him and asked Him to help me process my emotions and calm my heart and after reading that I asked! believing that Jesus Christ could do that for me, and He did!!! I instantly felt my mind calming down. My thoughts stopped worrying me and taking over my mind and heart with that heaviness…My heart became peaceful and I realized that I was actually receiving this directly from God! My circumstances didn’t change, but He changed ME! He calmed my mind and heart. & that’s what I needed. ❤️❤️❤️

He invites all of us to TRUST HIM. Life won’t be perfect or the way we hope sometimes. But He is ready to help us through it and heal our troubled hearts. He is truly the only one who can provide the peace that is impossible to get through any other means. No amount of money, power, health, prosperity or whatever can provide the peace of God.

🕊️I learned a lesson this week; and it’s that a lot of our own emotional exhaustion comes from unconsciously handing our “inner peace” over to things we can’t control! 😳

I realized that that’s exactly what I did this week. I handed over my emotions to circumstances or people. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Instead of protecting my inner peace, controlling my emotions better and most importantly coming to the BEST THERAPIST! 😉 JESUS CHRIST to allow Him to speak to my heart and guide my mind and heart to what I call “divine calm.” I call it that, because the world can’t understand what that feels like. But when God can calm your heart, and mind…you know what that feels like, and it is divine, beautiful and a solid peace that is not found anywhere else. 💛

So, let’s recognize how we hand over our emotions based on

• another person’s choices

• other people’s opinions

• outcomes

• timing

• plans

• disappointments

• unmet hopes

When we build our emotional stability on changing circumstances, our hearts rise and fall constantly. & there’s no peace in that. 😣

But Jesus Christ offers a steadier foundation. 💪🏼🥰The Savior never promised a life free of disappointment. But He did promise HIS PRESENCE TO BE WITH US IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES! 🥹 & isn’t that amazing?!?

I hope that we can have the eyes to see, recognize and enjoy the ABUNDANCE of God’s love when we can feel Him be so present in our lives. From the little daily blessings, to the moments when prayers are answered…He truly is there and we are so richly blessed by those experiences. I don’t think we recognize how blessed we are most of the time. Being RICH in God, is definitely way better and more fulfilling than being rich in the ways of the world. $🤷🏻‍♀️

So, no matter what you’re going through today. Remember that you don’t have to hand over your emotions to circumstances or people etc. You can control and protect your feelings and emotions. You can come to God and BELIEVE IN HIM! Believe in what only HE can provide to your heart and mind.

This is what He tells you today; 🥹

“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

The world’s peace says:

“I’ll be okay when everyone else changes.”

Christ’s peace says:

“You can still be okay even while things remain unfinished, uncertain, or imperfect.”❤️🥹🙏🏼

How beautiful is that?!? That Christ can be with us in this very imperfect and possibly disappointing moment, and yet we can be FILLED with His peace and His love. Which is really all we need for today. 🥹🤍🙏🏼

That kind of peace is deeply beautiful and spiritual. I hope that each one of us can come to God ourselves and ask Him for it. He promised that we could ask in the name of Jesus Christ, and we will receive! That the father may be glorified in the Son. 🥹 He wants to hear us! Help us and experience for ourselves what having true faith in Christ is really about. We just need to believe, ask and act.

As we choose to come to Him we will see that our Savior can allow us to surrender the illusion that we must control everything around us in order to feel safe inside ourselves.

Sometimes healing begins when we stop asking:

“Why didn’t this person or circumstances meet my expectations?”….

And instead ask:

“How can I stay connected to Christ regardless of what happens around me?” 🥹❤️🙏🏼

I hope that you know that Jesus Christ is the only completely steady source of love, truth, comfort, and understanding throughout your life. When People, even good people, things, situations or circumstances fail us or shift. Or when plans collapse, just know that Christ truly is the one that remains constant regardless of the ups and downs of life.

He understands every disappointment that we carry quietly in our hearts. He knows the grief of feeling unseen, let down, forgotten, or emotionally overwhelmed. And unlike the world, He never withdraws His love when we are struggling. The more we anchor ourselves in Him, the less power circumstances have over our emotional state. ⚓️😌

Not because our feelings don’t matter. But because His presence becomes greater than the storms we may be facing.

So, we must remember to stop placing the weight of our peace into human hands or circumstances. Instead I invite each one of us to place it into the hands of our Savior Jesus Christ instead. 🤲🏼❤️

He is not asking us to pretend that things do not hurt. He is asking us to remember that hurt does not have to own you. 🙂 That you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you and that all will be ok as you allow Him to be with you from one moment to the next.

Our meditation tonight in class will be similar to this. I want to share it on here in case many of your aren’t able to make it to class or for when you need to read it or practice it yourselves.

Close your eyes for a moment and take a slow breath in.

Unclench your jaw. Relax your shoulders. Let your hands rest softly.

Take some deep breaths and calm your mind and heart.

When you feel at peace, imagine yourself placing every unmet expectation into the Savior’s hands:

the conversations that hurt,

the plans that failed,

the loneliness,

the frustration,

the longing for things to be different.

Picture Him receiving it all with complete understanding and perfect compassion.

Breathe again.

As you exhale, quietly repeat:

“Lord, I trust Thee more than I trust my circumstances.”

Sit in that stillness for a moment.

Let your nervous system remember that peace is possible even before everything is resolved.

Out physical goal for the week is:

Spend at least 20 minutes each day moving your body gently. For example; walking outside, stretching, lifting weights, or breathing deeply in the sunlight. Let movement become a reminder that your body was created to carry peace, not just stress.

& our spiritual goal for the week is:

To read John chapter 14 slowly this week. Maybe each day, choose one verse to focus on and ask:

“What is the Savior teaching me about trust, peace, and fear?”

Write down one thing each day that you are choosing to release into Christ’s hands.

& remind yourself that true healing doesn’t come from finally being able to control life, people or circumstances. It comes from learning that even in uncertainty, we are safely held by the Savior of the world. 🌎 or the BEST therapist in the world 😉❤️🙏🏼

Love you all and hope that you can make it tonight to release stress and strengthen yourself and also to release what feels heavy. Hope that you can give yourself this gift today and invite others to benefit as well. 🥰

Love,

Lili 🌸

This week I was sitting outside praying for a moment. I was thinking about how God must feel to hear my repetitive prayers, almost always asking for the same things. He hears my complaints and all of the things that are in my mind and heart. As i sat there for a moment I had a feeling of wanting to change my “asking” for “thanking” instead. I said a thank you prayer and had this strong feeling in my heart filling me with His love. I heard/felt Him say to me that He loves me and wants to hear all of the feelings of my heart. My prayers, my sorrows, my fears, my joys, my gratitude. 🥹💖

Why is that we sometimes worry so much about things instead of letting go of the fears and focusing instead on trusting in that loving God who loves us and wants to help us and provide for us? 💛 As soon as I had that feeling I opened my scriptures randomly and read this: Mathew 6:26: “Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

After reading that scripture I happened looked down at the grass and saw a little bird landing on the grass next to me. This tiny little brown bird just started eating some sort of little seeds that he found on the grass from of me. I just watched at how this little bird was eating and how it would look up toward the sky and I instantly started crying 😭 not only because I’m emotional lol..but because I felt like God was right there with ME in that very moment just teaching me. 🥹❤️🕊️

In that moment I noticed how the Lord had just provided for this little bird. He was teaching me that regardless of what we ask for…He does want to hear from each one of us. He loves us each individually. He knows each one of our needs and I truly felt that HE was right there in that moment with me. 🕊️ I felt that I was able to witness the provision given to that little bird, I felt peace in knowing that He will provide for each one of us individually. ❤️

As I was watching this little bird not having everything planned out, not able to store up for every possible future worry. This little bird is seen by the Lord and provided for. I also noticed that this little bird seemed to look up as if he was thankful for the provision that he had received. It was a beautiful experience for me to see scripture come into life like that.

I also love how the Lord says that we are of more value than the little birds? If He already has this immense love for these little animals and is able to provide daily food for them. How much more, then, does He see you?? How much more does He want to provide for you and help you? 🥹❤️ Placing our trust in Him can change how see everything.

So, remember that in the middle of your busy days, your worries, your unknowns, God is not distant. He is present, right here, in this very moment. Whether you’re standing on a “mountaintop” in life or walking through a valley, you are not forgotten. You are not overlooked. You are known, loved, and guided.❤️

Sometimes we have moments when we feel like we have to carry everything ourselves. The stress, the planning, the pressure. But this scriptures gently reminds us that we were never meant to do life alone. God provides not always by removing challenges, but by strengthening us through them. Through Jesus Christ, we are not only carried, we are empowered. We can remind ourselves “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”

So when life feels uncertain, remember: the same God who watches over the smallest bird is watching over you with even greater care. 💖

Here’s a little mindfulness exercise that can help.

Find a quiet moment. Sit comfortably and gently close your eyes.

• Take a slow breath in through your nose… and out through your mouth.

• Again, breathe in… and out.

• As you breathe, imagine that the Lord is here with you in this moment. Let yourself feel His peace, love and support. Know that you are guided and provided by His divine light.

You could say to yourself “I am seen by my loving Savior, I am provided for. I am strengthened through Christ.”

Let any tension soften. Let your shoulders drop. Let your heart feel just a little lighter.

When you’re ready, open your eyes.

Our goal for the week are:

• Physical Goal:
Take care of your body as a gift from God. Move it daily, even if it’s just a 10–15 minute walk outside. As you move, notice nature around you, the sky, the trees, even the birds, 😉 and remember this message.

• Spiritual Goal:
Each day, take one minute to pause and talk to God. It doesn’t have to be long or perfect. Just open your heart to Him and be honest. Thank Him for one thing, and place one worry into His hands. Listen for any inspiration, wisdom and guidance. Wrote it down and do your best to TRUST. To let go of your fears and focus on FAITH INSTEAD. 💖

I pray that you’ll know today, that you’re cared for more deeply than you realize. And that with Christ, you have the strength to face whatever comes next. We walk by Faith & not by Fear. 💛🥰🙏🏼

Hope that you can make it to class tonight at 7pm to not only release stress but also strengthen yourself physically, mentally and spiritually. 💖

Love you all and hope to see you there! 🥰

This week I’ve been thinking a lot about the highs and lows that we all have to experience in our lives. Although we often see “the highs” of people on social media and around us. We never really know exactly what people are actually experiencing. The difficulties they’re going through, or what challenges they’re having to endure quietly.

We know that comparing ourselves to others, or having feelings that we’re above or below others, completely steals our joy and our ability to recognize our own blessings. The best thing we can all do is to look up to God in the hills and the valleys of our lives and reach out to help those around us who need us. And when we’re facing our own valleys that we may be willing to accept the help when others offer it to us too. 💛

There is a powerful moment in the scriptures when the enemies of Israel claimed that God was only “a God of the hills”. That His power was limited to the high places, the victories, the visible triumphs. But through the prophet in 1 Kings 20, when the Lord responds with certainty: He is not only the God of the hills, but also the God of the valleys. Not just present in the strength, but present in struggle. He also lets them know that He’s not only in rising, but in the moments of refining.

How often do we see that happening in our lives? There are seasons when we stand on the hills. On the highs of our lives when prayers feel answered, hearts feel full, and everything seems to be aligned and going well. In those moments, it can be easy to celebrate the blessing without fully recognizing the true giver. The one who gently lifted us there. Every good thing, every glimpse of joy, every moment of peace, if we can see it carefully it all traces back to Him. To having God with us as we climbed up the mountain to where we feel great.

And then come the valleys.

The valleys can feel heavy, quiet and lonely. These are the moments when burdens press down on us, we feel weighed down and heavy, when answers seem distant, and when faith can feel so distant. 🙁 But it is in this very moment, especially in that valley, that His presence becomes even more sacred. 😭 Because He does not watch from above… He walks beside us. It’s bee in my deepest valleys when I have felt God the most. We all reach rock bottom sometimes and have to look up to Him to allow Him to be thee for us. & we see that HE IS THERE IN THE VALLEY WITH US. ❤️

In Matthew 11:28–30, the Savior’s invitation is deeply personal: “Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.” He doesn’t say, “Come only when you are strong,” or “Come only when you have it all together.” He says come as you are. 🥹 Tired, burdened, searching. His yoke is not meant to weigh us down, but to bind us to Him, so we never have to go through life alone.

So, please remember today that

God is just as present in your valley as He is on your hill.

And His love does not rise and fall with your circumstances.❤️

The invitation today for all of us is: To remember Him in the light and to reach for Him in the dark.💫 That we may build a relationship that does not depend on the season, but is rooted in trust in Christ and in His loving ability to rescue us, comfort us, and bring us His peace.

Here’s a mindfulness exercise to help us.

Find a quiet place. Close your eyes and take a slow, steady breath in… and out.

Picture your life as a landscape.

See the hills or the moments of joy, growth, and light…

Now see the valleys or times of struggle, uncertainty, or pain..

Now gently imagine the Savior, Jesus Christ, walking through it all with you. ❤️😭🙏🏼

Notice something important:

He is not only waiting at the top of the hill.

He is walking every step with you. Descending into valleys, climbing back up beside you.

As you breathe, silently repeat:

“You are with me here.”

Let that truth settle, not just in your mind, but in your heart. ❤️

Stay in that space for a few moments, allowing peace to replace pressure, and companionship to replace loneliness. Allow God to be with you and just listen to the inspiration that comes to your heart and mind.

Our spiritual goal for this week is:

To choose one moment each day, morning or night to turn your heart to God. Not just in asking, but in noticing. Thank Him specifically for something in your “hill,” and invite Him intentionally into your “valley.” ⛰️

Our physical goal for this week:

Take a 10-minute walk each day. As you walk, let it symbolize your journey with Him. With each step, remind yourself: I am not walking alone. ❤️

God is not distant. He is here.

He is constant, steady through the sushine or the storm. 💗

So, hold on to your faith. Trust and believe with all your heart that you have a God who LOVES YOU!!! & who wants to walk with you through the highs and the lows. Come to Him and know that

He will not fail you. He will not forsake you.

Not on the hills… and never in the valleys.❤️

Love you all and hope that you can make it to class tonight at 7 PM to strengthen yourself physically mentally and spiritually. Can’t wait to see you guys and to strengthen ourselves together.

🥰💖🙏🏼

Love,

Lili 🌸

Sometimes we think of miracles as rare, distant, or reserved for other people. We hear of stories from long ago or blessings meant for someone else’s life. But once in a while we are reminded of something powerful. That miracles have not ceased. They are real, they are possible, and they are meant to be part of our lives today. ☀️

This week something hard but also amazing happened to our family. My Aunt’s dog had accidentally ran away 3 days ago. He’s older, deaf, and has arthritis which doesn’t allow him to get up on his own without help. Everyone was worried at the thought that he was on his own and possibly unable to get up wherever he was. The first day, my aunt’s neighbors began searching for him. Unfortunately, no one found him for the first 3 days.😭 By the third day all the worries flood our minds… How are we going to find him? Will he still be alive etc.

On that third day, we realized that there wasn’t much time left if we were going to find him alive. So as a family we got together, we offered a prayer asking God to help us receiving the inspiration to know where he was. We gathered what we could, and had plenty of items with the scent of his family so that he could at least be able to recognize the smell as we went searching for him. We searched everywhere we could think of around the perimeter of the house.

At one point we had a feeling to look in an area close to a busy road, and as we walked behind a building we noticed a dry ditch on the side of the building. My aunt was speaking when we saw a weak little head move and try to look up. 😭 It was him! ❤️ He looked malnourished, frail and since he’s older, obviously unable to move or get up on his own. We all instantly started crying and thanking the Lord for helping us find him. 🙏🏼 We all instantly recognized the miracle and cried while trying to give him water and lift him carefully to not hurt his wounds or weak body. Afterwards, he was taken to urgent care and he’s finally home recovering. ❤️‍🩹

This miracle happened within 30 minutes of the prayer we offered. This was a huge reminder to us that there absolutely is a God of miracles. A God of compassion, a God filled with love. A God who cares and loves all living creatures 🐶 A God who wants his children to come to Him with our needs, problems and to place our TRUST IN HIM. He wants to see us ACT IN FAITH ✨ believing that God will provide the way and bring miracles into our lives. 💛😭🙏🏼

In the New Testament, we read, “With God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26). This isn’t just a nice phrase, but it’s an invitation for us to believe that no situation is too heavy, broken, no heart too heavy, and no path too uncertain for God to work His miracles within it. In the scriptures God reminds us that miracles are brought about by faith, and when faith is present, God’s power flows more freely into our lives. 💛💫

Miracles don’t always come as dramatic, life altering events as the one we experienced with my family this week. Although, the Lord tells us that miracles haven’t ceased…What has changed, is our unbelief. 🙁 So, we can work on believing more and also on recognizing that miracles often happen quietly as well. For example;

A softened heart where there was once anger

Strength on a day you felt you had none

Peace in the middle of uncertainty

Answers that come little by little

These are not coincidences. They are evidence that God is near. That He does listen and that there is divine help around you. ❤️

So how do we increase our ability to believe and even receive miracles?

First, we have to choose to believe before we can see. Faith is not a perfect knowledge; it is trust. When we act in faith, even in small ways, we create space for miracles to unfold.

Second, we can look for the miracles already happening. Gratitude sharpens our spiritual vision. When we begin to notice the small blessings, our heart becomes more open to greater ones.

Third, align ourselves with God. Through prayer, scripture study, and sincere effort to live with love and integrity, we begin to invite divine help. 💛When we purposefully choose to obey God and have faith, we invite the power of heaven into our everyday life.

& finally, speak hope into our lives. The words we say, to ourselves and others do matter. When we learn and practice speaking with faith instead of fear, we begin to shift your mindset toward the possibilities of what God can do for us.

Remember: miracles are not about controlling the outcomes, they are about trusting God’s timing, His wisdom, His mercy and His love.

Here’s a Mindfulness Exercise for Today. 🙂

Take 5 quiet minutes today.

Sit comfortably and close your eyes.

Breathe in slowly for 4 seconds, hold for 4, and breathe out for 6.

As you breathe, repeat quietly in your mind:“With God, all things are possible.”

Think of one area in your life where you need a miracle.

Instead of focusing on the problem, imagine it held gently in God’s hands.

Let yourself feel peace. 🤍 Not because everything is solved, but because you are not alone & you know in WHOM YOU TRUST. ❤️🙏🏼

Our Spiritual Goal for this week is:Each day, write down one “small miracle” you notice. Something good, unexpected, or uplifting. By the end of the week, you’ll begin to see how present God has been all along. ✨

Our Physical Goal is: To do one intentional act each day that reflects your faith in action. This could be serving someone, reaching out to encourage a friend, going for a walk while praying, or caring for your body with gratitude. Action strengthens belief. 💪🏼🥰

Hope to see you in Class Tonight at 7pm!! We will releasing stress, strengthening our body and have an amazing meditation to help us release negativity and focus on the good. 😊 💛 Hope that you can join us and invite anyone who would benefit from it as well. 💖💪🏼🥰

Let’s try to remind ourselves that we do not need to be waiting for miracles. We are walking in a life where they are already unfolding. We just need to choose to see them. Maybe that’s part of our test in this life. Will we have the eyes to see the miracles in our lives? 🥹.

As we choose to believe, seek, and act in faith, we will begin to see them more clearly…and even become part of miracles in the lives of others. 😍

Hold onto hope. Trust in God. And expect that something beautiful is already on its way. God loves you and yes! You can expect miracles in your life. 🥹✨

Love,

Lili 💖

Regardless of the different circumstances that we may be experiencing today, God wants each one of us to take a moment and feel the sunshine, breathe, look at the flowers and animals and just for a moment feel the love of God in our hearts. 💞 He wants to remind us that His hands are always stretched out inviting us to come to Him and to feel His love, grace and peace.

When we can choose to disconnect from our everyday stresses and purposefully turn our minds and hearts to Him, we’ll be better able to feel His love.

The love and peace of God cannot be purchased with wealth or power. It can only come directly to our hearts when we choose to open ourselves to it. His peace, grace and love can comfort us even when our circumstances haven’t changed. Yet, somehow we can feel that He’s right here with us. We trust Him. We know that all will be ok in the end because of Him. ❤️ Only God can bring that type of comfort to a heart.

As we look at the blossoming flowers this Spring and especially this Easter, let’s remind ourselves that Easter is an invitation for us to renew ourselves an to start fresh. An opportunity for us to blossom more and to be drawn to the example of love that Jesus Christ has given us. 🌹

Through the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, we are given the most powerful message of hope: That light overcomes darkness, that love is stronger than death, and that we can be made new. We can feel and know that our Savior lives! That He is ready to help us start new, to blossom in ways that we can only achieve with His help. He is our light, He is our guide. 💛

Matthew 28:6 says; “He is not here: for he is risen” It’s amazing how these simple words changed the world! Everyone who saw Him after He had risen, realized that death wasn’t the end. Those words not only changed humanity, but they can change us too. Easter is not just about what happened long ago; it is about what can happen within us today. How can we allow the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ to bless our lives today? How can we rejoice in that knowledge and allow it to change our minds and hearts forever? ❤️

We can help ourselves to prepare for Easter by inviting God to comfort our troubled hearts and minds. We can ask Him to help us soften what is rough within us, we can ask Him to help us remember, learn new insights from Him and strengthen our relationship with Him.

We can also strengthen ourselves by:

• Letting go of something heavy, any resentments, fear, judgements or guilt.

• Choosing to focus on gratitude instead of lack.

• Making space each day to feel God’s love.

• & Serving someone quietly, just as Christ would.

There’s a beautiful quote that says: “Because of Him, broken things are made whole.” So, when each one of us in our brokenness comes to Him, we’re able to reconnect to His Divine light , we then become lit 🔥 by the same divine light, and this allows us to be better able to feel His divine peace and powerful healing. 💛

This Easter season is our invitation to come back to that light. To be able to feel it! Receive the grace and the forgiveness we each need, to humble ourselves before Him and let Him change us and fill us with hope, joy, true love and peace.

Here’s a Mindfulness Exercise that can help us as well.

Take 2–3 minutes each day this week and simply notice:

• One thing in your life that is growing

• One area where you feel hope returning

• One small way you have changed for the better

Let yourself feel gratitude for these quiet moments of renewal or “resurrections” that you’re experiencing. Allow yourself to be loving and kind to yourself as you recognize what is blossoming in your life. 🌷

Tonight in class we will practice a meditation similar to this one in case you would like to try it. 🤍🕊️

Close your eyes. Take a slow, deep breath in… and out.

Imagine a soft, warm light above you, peaceful and full of love.

This light represents the love of God and the hope of Easter.

As you breathe in, imagine that light gently filling your heart.

As you breathe out, release any heaviness, worry, or fear.

Silently say to yourself:

“I am renewed. I am loved. I am filled with light.”

Sit in that feeling for a moment.💛

When you’re ready, gently open your eyes.

Hope that you can join us tonight at 7pm to let go of the stress and the things that feel heavy. Our focus will be on releasing stress, strengthening our bodies, and ending with a beautiful meditation that will help us to feel renewed, more connected to the Divine light of our Savior Jesus Christ & allow us to leave feeling peaceful and ready for a beautiful Easter weekend. 🕊️💛🙏🏼

CLASS WILL BE CANCELED NEXT WEEK. But we will resume again on April 16th. So, hopefully you can make it tonight and feel the difference for the rest of your week. 🥰

🌸 Our Goals for This Week are;

Spiritual Goal:

Spend 5–10 minutes each day reading about the life and Resurrection of Christ, or quietly praying/meditating to feel closer to God.

💪🏼Physical Goal:

Get outside for at least 10–15 minutes each day. We want to walk, stretch, or simply sit in the sunlight and notice the signs of new life around you. Take care of your body by eating healthy and resting when needed. 🥰

This Easter, remember: you don’t have to wait for change, you are already part of it. 🌱The same power that brought life from the tomb can bring peace, healing, and new beginnings into your life right now. 💛🥹🙏🏼 His love is real! He is ready to be with you in the ups and downs of life and I rejoice in the knowledge that He lives! Loves us and wants the best for us. Let’s Celebrate Him and what He can do for us. ❤️

Love you all and hope to see you you tonight!

It’s easy to believe that happiness comes from having everything go right. When life feels smooth, when prayers are answered quickly, when relationships are easy, and when nothing seems to go wrong. But if we’re honest, life will always bring us its ups and downs, its days that are really beautiful and some that are hard, days that are amazing and some that are uncertain and painful.

The reality is that we can experience the hills and valleys of life CHOOSING to focus on the good or choosing to focus on the bad.

Russell M. Nelson once taught:

“The joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives.”

That means that even in imperfect situations, we are not powerless. We can gently redirect our thoughts. We can choose what we give weight to.

One of the life lessons we can all gain is that happiness has far less to do with our circumstances… and almost everything to do with our focus.

Im reality, what we choose to think about, dwell on, and give energy to will shape the way we experience our lives.

In the scriptures, we’re reminded in Philippians 4:8:

“Whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely… think on these things.”

This is a pattern for peace. Our Father in Heaven wants to teach us that our thoughts do matter! What we focus on does make a difference in our lives. He wants us to learn how to train our minds to look for what is going to bring light, truth, love, and peace to our lives.

Here are a few ways to begin training our lmind and heart to notice the good:

1. Practice “Micro-Gratitude”
Instead of waiting for big blessings, notice small ones:
• A kind text
• A quiet morning
• A deep breath
• A moment of laughter

Gratitude grows when it becomes specific and consistent.

2. Name It, Then Reframe It
When something negative happens, don’t ignore it, but don’t stay there either.
Ask yourself:
• What is still good right now?
• What is this teaching me?

This doesn’t deny reality…It expands it.

3. Guard Your Mental Space
Be mindful of what you consume:
• Social media
• Conversations
• Your own inner dialogue

If something constantly pulls you toward comparison or discouragement, it may need to be limited. Take care of yourself and let go of the things that steal your joy.

4. Start and End with Intention
Begin your day by choosing a focus: “Today, I will look for God’s hand in my life.”
End your day by reflecting: “Where did I see goodness today?”

Theres a saying that says:

“Energy flows where attention goes.”

When we focus on fear, we feel drained.

When we focus on peace, gratitude, and truth, we begin to embody those things.

As disciples of Christ, we believe that light is not something we wait for. It’s something we choose to see. Something we look for and invite into our lives. We can invite this light by being present, building our relationship with God. Reading His words and purposefully being aware of our thoughts and helping ourselves to process them.

Jesus Himself taught in D&C. 88:67:

“If your eye be single to my glory, your whole bodies shall be filled with light.

I love this scripture because it teaches us that our eyes are the light of our body. Our “eye” acts as a lamp to our whole body, mind and soul. When our focus is on “the goodness” or on God, that goodness fills our mind and heart, which the. guides our actions and helps us to feel greater joy and peace in our lives. Regardless of what we “have” or “not have.”

When our focus is on God, that alone removes our selfish motives or ambitions. We remove the distractions that don’t help us and we strengthen ourselves in spiritual understanding which is eternal and truly fulfilling. ❤️

🌸 Heres a simple mindfulness & gratitude meditation

Take a moment, even now if you can:

• Close your eyes gently

• Take a slow, deep breath in… and out

• Let your shoulders relax

Now bring to mind three small things you’re grateful for today

(not big, perfect things—just real ones)

Pause with each one. Feel it.

Now quietly repeat in your mind:

“There is good in my life.

There is light around me.

I choose to see it.” 💛

Take one more deep breath… and open your eyes.

Tonight in class we’ll not only release stress, but we’ll also have a wonderful meditation to help us re-focus our mind and thoughts. 🙂

🌟 Goals for This Week

Physical Goal:

Take a 10-minute “gratitude walk” each day.

As you walk, intentionally notice 5 good things around you—nature, people, moments.

Spiritual Goal:

Each night, write down 3 things you saw God’s hand in that day. God’s finger are all around if we choose to discover them and see them. No matter how small the may seem.

Happiness isn’t about waiting for life to become perfect.

It’s about training our hearts and minds to recognize the good that is already here.

The more we focus on light… the more light we will see! 💛🥰

Hope that today and this week you can focus on the light. The light of God, the good in your life, your blessings and on being the keeper of your joy and your peace.

Hope to see you tonight at 7pm! 🥰🧘🏻‍♀️💛

Love,

Lili 🌺

In a world that is filled with so much chaos, and that constantly pulls us in different directions, it’s easy to feel out of balance. It’s in those moments when we need to be reminded of the importance of taking care of going back to the basics and learning to take care of ourselves. To remind ourselves that we are beautifully created with a body, a mind, and a spirit that deserves care, attention, and love. ❤️

When we nurture all three areas of ourselves, we begin to feel more grounded, more peaceful, and more aligned with God’s purpose for us. Which is exactly why we need in the world we’re living in.

Let’s start with our bodies. Think of the amazing gift that it is to have this body. We’re able to learn the difference between sickness and pain and experience seeing our amazing bodies healing themselves and letting us know when something is wrong. There are so many things that we take for granted in our bodies. It’s important for us to learn to speak positively to ourselves about our bodies and express gratitude for having this body. God taught us that our bodies are temples entrusted to us. This is where our eternal spirit resides, and taking care of them doesn’t have to be complicated.

It begins with small, intentional choices: moving daily, nourishing ourselves with wholesome foods, resting when we’re tired, and listening to what our body needs. Even a simple walk, stretching in the morning, or drinking more water can become acts of gratitude. As it teaches in 1 Corinthians 6:19–20, our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. When we care for them, we honor God and ourselves.

Here’s a goal that we can practice:

• Move our body for 20–30 minutes a day (walk, dance, stretch)

• Drink more water than usual

• Pause and take 3 deep breaths when feeling overwhelmed.

Now let’s focus on our mind and the importance of strengthening our minds. 💪🏼🧠

Our thoughts shape our reality. What we think about consistently influences how we feel and how we act. Learning to gently guide our thoughts can bring clarity and peace.

Not every thought we have is true or helpful, and that’s okay. We can notice our thoughts without judgment and choose to replace negative ones with truth and light. Philippians 4:8 says; We are invited to think on things that are true, honest, just, pure, and uplifting.

Here’s an exercise we can practice to help strengthen our mind;

• When a negative thought comes, pause for a moment and ask: Is this true? Is this helpful?

• Replace it with something truthful and kind
(Example: “I’m not enough” with ➡️ “I am learning, growing, and doing my best.”)

• Also practice writing down 3 things you’re grateful for each day. Gratitude and choosing our thoughts is one of the best easy to strengthen our minds.

& finally nurturing the Spirit. 💛

Our spirit is where we connect with God. When we strengthen our spirit, everything else begins to fall into place. I’ve noticed in my life that when my health isn’t well, I try to focus on nourishing myself spiritually and that helps me to overcome my health challenges much better. 🥹 Same with my mind. When my thoughts are not very positive or doing well, I can focus on my spirituality and it also helps me to re-focus my thoughts and to help me overcome my negative thinking.

I fully believe that God wants us to first strengthen ourselves spiritually, to them be able to help all of the other areas of our lives with His guidance. This doesn’t require perfection, just consistency and a willing heart that’s ready to hear from God and learn from His words and from speaking to Him daily. ☀️

One of the best ways we can do this is to spend time daily in prayer. We can fill ourselves spiritually by reading a verse of scripture and reflecting on it. We can sit in stillness and pray to God and invite Him into our thoughts, to help us with our worries, and our desires. & to come to know that He truly cares deeply about every part of YOUR life. ❤️

There’s a scripture in D&C 88:63, which says; “Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you.” That promise is real and available to each one of us every day.

Here’s an exercise that we can practice each day to lift us spiritually.

• Begin your day with a heartfelt and sincere prayer: “Heavenly Father, please help me, forgive me & guide me today…”

• Read a few lines of scripture and think about how it applies to your life or what you can gain from it.

• Throughout the day try to invite thoughts and scriptures that strengthen your mind and help you feel peace, gratitude and love. Practice taking deep breaths throughout the day & end your day with gratitude and reflection.

I also love how mindless and meditation can help. For example doing an exercise like this;

Find a quiet moment. Close your eyes. Take a slow, deep breath in… and out.

As you breathe, gently say in your heart:

• “I am cared for.” (inhale)

• “I am guided.” (exhale)

Picture God’s light surrounding you! ☀️💛 bringing peace to your mind, strength to your body, and calm to your spirit. Stay here for a minute or two, simply breathing and receiving.

I wanted to give you some practical ideas on how to add a little more balance for your body, mind and spirit in your daily life. Remember that NO ONE can do this for you except yourself. Love yourself enough to make the time for this and you’ll feel the difference.

Here are our goals for This Week:

✨ Physical Goal:

Move your body for at least 20 minutes, 4 times this week. Keep it simple and enjoyable—walking, stretching, dancing or light exercise.

✨ Spiritual Goal:

Spend 5–10 minutes each day connecting with God through prayer, scripture, or quiet reflection.

As you care for your body, mind, and spirit, remember you don’t have to do everything perfectly. Small, consistent efforts can make a big difference. 💖 God is not asking for perfection, only your willingness to keep showing up for yourself and to trust that He will help you from one moment to the next.

God loves you and wants to help you on your journey. ❤️ Our goal in this life is to choose the good! To choose God & to recognize that our soul is eternal and that we’re here to learn how to recognize Gods voice and allow Him to guide us throughout our life. 💛

Please remember to be kind and loving to yourself. To count your blessings and be grateful for what you have today. ☀️ Do your best to continue growing, learning and choose to be surrounded by the peace and the love of God daily. ☺️

Hope that you can join us again tonight at 7pm to strengthen yourself physically, mentally and spiritually. We will have a wonderful hour to release stress, dance, stretch and end with and an amazing meditation that will leave us feeling renewed and peaceful. Hope that you can make it and invite others to benefit as well.

Love

Lili 🌸
