Trust Him

So often in our lives we feel as if we’re almost always right about things or situations…These are experiences that we can only see through our own lenses and our own perspective, but which can regularly lead us to believe that we are the ones who actually know what is best and that things, people or situations should react according to my will or what  “I” want them to do etc…Unfortunately, trying to control so much of our lives can actually harm us by bringing about more stress, anxiety, or frustration when things don’t go according to what we planed or desired. When we do this, we are basically leaning on our own understanding and just living life according to what we can do for ourselves and to according to what we expect. I think that most of us have experienced what it’s like to travel “blindly” in life, basically just trusting ourselves, our knowledge or skills and expecting things to just go our way…But, at some point or another many of us have also experienced the difference of what it’s like to NOT just lean on our own worldly or one dimensional understanding and instead be able to completely let go and to leave those problems or situations in the hands of God.
A friend of mine who has been battling cancer told me that before having to go through this difficult time in her life, everything was about doing things her way, for her own desires or interests and not really even thinking about God or anything like that. She was basically just kinda living her life and enjoying all the material, the social and the other things that surrounded her. Once she was diagnosed, things began to change and this difficult time in her life made her re-evaluate everything! She soon realized that she had been living so differently from the way that she would have wanted to…And here she was experiencing the most difficult challenge in her life, when she realized that at this point she really didn’t have control of anything at all. She then began to stop relying on herself and Instead she felt a strong desire to bring herself closer to God, to come to know Him better! to apologize to Him for forgetting about Him all of those previous years and she eventually reach a point in which she was willing to believe! to let go and to trust in God’s power enough to lean on Him completely, and on His power to heal her and to make her better…Her trust became so great that she was even willing to accept death if that was the will of God for her life. <3 wow! thats incredible! isn’t it? That’s the trust that healed her and has caused her cancer to be on remission and to now enjoy time with her family, having her priorities in life straight, continuing to bring herself closer to God as she travels the path of her life knowing that she trusts Him fully and leans upon him and His wisdom completely!?
To lean on Him and trust in the Lord with all our hearts, means that we have no fear, but instead we only have FAITH. It means that we will try to solve our problems by praying, searching and finding His guidance to overcome them. It means that we will trust Him with all our hearts, being strong enough to know how to keep our hearts clean and pure from anything evil, from any unclean things, thoughts, words or actions that could be harmful to ourselves or others. As I was thinking about what kind of heart I would want to have I realized after praying one day that God really does want us to have a pure heart. <3 A heart that has gotten fully rid of anything bad or negative and that instead glows from the  joy and peace of knowing in whom we trust. I also realized that I can’t worry about my neighbors heart or whatever feelings they may have inside it towards me or others 🙁 I can only worry about what’s in my own heart ? and once I do that I will be better able to love others more fully. I am learning that I am in charge of keeping my heart protected from the evil or the negative,I am in charge of the feelings that abound in my heart, I am in charge of seeing the good in others and their potential or love that God has for them regardless of what they do to me etc…And because I know that the merciful obtain mercy and I want a heart that is full of forgiveness, of mercy and of love for God, for myself and for all! learning one day at a time to live the way that God would want me to live and in the way in which He would be proud of me, of what I do, of what I think and of what I keep in my heart.
He gives us greater power than we could ever receive from ourselves! He can guide us, cleanse us and help us in ways that can sometimes seem indescribable to our natural eyes. The key is to trust Him enough to know that even when things don’t go according to “my will” I am willing to accept what He wants for me, in His greater knowledge and wisdom and be happy of knowing that although they may not go my way they’ll be going the BEST WAY POSSIBLE WHICH IS HIS WAY!!! and according to His will! Which will always lead to my happiness that will be greater than anything that this world could offer.

 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. ( Proverbs 3: 5-6)

Our spiritual goal for the week is to trust God more! to let go completely and remind yourself that you do believe in Him! the goal is also to give Him our hearts by keeping them clean from all that is evil or negative and instead filling our hearts with good positive words, thoughts and actions that will bring us closer to God. 

Our Physical goal for the week is to slow down on the carbs and to do something great for our physical body and to exercise to take care of ourselves, have more energy and feel great! 🙂

I hope to be able to see you in class tonight! we will have a little bit more room because we will be in the Gym so you can bring friends and family whom you would like to benefit from the class. Last week we had a wonderful meditation session which helped us to focus on the truly important things <3 It felt wonderful and I always wish everyone could be there to experience how good it feels. I’m here for you always! and don’t forget to take it one day at a time. You do your best today and see how great you’ll feel! ? you’ll love it! ?

Have a blessed and wonderful day!

Slow Down Your Stress

Feeling stressed is something that we all experience at some point or another. For some it may be more often or more severe than others and it’s effects can range from low to high even to the point in which it can cause illness in our bodies. It’s important for us to learn what stress can do to our lives and how it can affect us and impact our relationships or our inner peace with ourselves. When the situations come into our lives we always have a choice! we can always choose how to react. Do we get angry, frustrated, bitter, sad, etc? All of these emotions that tend to come from stress are negative, therefore we need to learn how to manage them and become the masters of them! before they become the masters of us!…WE ARE IN CONTROL✴
When we realize how stress presents itself in our bodies and how we are currently reacting to it… We can practice and be prepared to know how to take control of ourselves when the situation arises or even if something more difficult was to happen. We all know that when we let stress or those negative emotions win in ourselves it never feels good 🙁 its as if we loose control of ourselves and all it brings its even more negativity into our lives. But when we can master ourselves and at least take control of our emotions even if we can’t control what the “stressor” is, we can control our emotions and our reaction to the situation. When we react in the most positive way for ourselves and those around us, we can defeat what “stress” used to cause in us and instead turn it into a strengthening situation for us, that can build us as a person, purify us and allow us to receive positive consequences from our situations. It will take control and practice but we are completely capable of doing it.
Here are a few ways that can help us to react to our situations better and to have more control! 🙂
Be realistic Being realistic about what we expect of ourselves and others is the best defense against stress. We have to be real with ourselves and those around us. Open, honest and realistic communication and expectations will support growth but keep stress in check.
Keep fit- Spiritually and physically Physical bodies require rest, exercise and a good diet. We can also keep our souls healthy through daily prayer and scripture study.

Set priorities and goals De-stress by prioritizing what the most important things are that need to get done. Planning will give us direction and lead to accomplishments.

Change your pace Take a break to do something you enjoy (including nothing) in stressful situations this can help ease the pressure. Try serving someone else to put your own problems into perspective.

Share your struggles Surrounding ourselves with supportive people who we can confide in. or writing about our day and what we learned from it can also be therapeutic. 
Be grateful and Happy
we can choose to be happy! Happiness that doesn’t depend on ANYTHING EXTERNAL but instead happiness that comes from WITHIN!!! I know that sounds strange because we have been taught that happiness comes from having material things, ex; if I have a better car, then i’ll be happy or a bigger house, or those shoes…etc or we have also heard that you need to have the best career, a great body, be successful, have knowledge etc…But those things don’t bring true happiness, they may add comfort to our lives but being truly happy is what comes from inside us.
Some of the countries with the most poverty have the happiest people!..yet, we have so much and so many times we complain that we need more to be happy. Being happy is something that can be felt no matter the circumstances because it comes from inside, it is not determined or measured by what we have or what we don’t have. It is simply there because we CHOOSE to be happy in our situations. It comes from a deep trust and a faith in God that He loves us deeply enough to help us get through anything! allowing our “stressful” situations to build us and edify us in the way that God wants us to be strengthened. True happiness comes from knowing that we are at peace with God and that there is no need for anything external to affect or determine our joy, because our joy comes from the peace of God, and of knowing that when we react to life in this way of joy and gratitude, He will provide for us in amazing ways and give us much more than  what the world sees as ‘happiness”. We can be grateful and happy in our circumstances and receive the true joy that comes from inside us and doest depend on our external circumstances.
Our Spiritual goal for the week is to slow down our stress, to choose to master ourselves and how we will react to our situations. <3 God will provide us with peace and the inner joy to be able to have unlimited happiness and finding the joy no matter what ?
Our physical goal is to exercise and do things that will help us release stress! we can workout, meditate or have some alone quiet time to relax.
Tonight we will focus on stress relief! we will work hard and kick that stress out!!! We will also take some time to meditate and relax our bodies and our minds to feel centered, energized, happy and thankful to have so many blessings! <3….Life is good and all things will work out for our benefit when we think positively of our situations and GROW from the difficult times. We have the power to choose joy and peace in our situations. Lets do that and enjoy the true joy that comes fro within and its not based on anything external <3
Have a blessed and wonderful day!?

God’s Love

The world is constantly trying to tell us that we need to be skinnier, prettier, “basically look like a Barbie”, be popular, have more possessions, money, etc…all of this pressure that makes us think that this is the only way to achieve happiness, self esteem or to be “complete in life” but, in reality this is all a huge lie! And it’s so sad that it’s so pushed on us from every direction! from music, tv, media, society etc…that we are bombarded by these images or people that can affect us and make us feel less of ourselves. 🙁
Many studies have been done in which people reach a certain level of ” great achievement” in the eyes of the world and even once they reach that level of popularity, looks, money etc…they still feel like they are lacking or missing something! Even after searching and gaining more and more, they still were not satisfied and realized that they were always lacking something. All of the years searching for more of what was in the external took their focus away from their internal self and they forgot about their self love, their inner peace, their self esteem, their being inside, and in most cases some completely forgetting about God. They described themselves as having a lot but still missing something inside and a level of unhappiness.
No matter how much we get from the external it can never truly change what is deep inside of us.That healing can only from us being honest with ourselves and asking God to help us. Specially in this world where our self esteem is constantly being attacked (specially for us as woman) we must be strong enough to remind ourselves constantly in the daily battles that we face and will continue to face for as many days as God wants us to be here on this earth that we are to stand strong for who we are. We must reming ourselves that we are children of God His sons and daughters! Psalms 82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. How beautiful is that??? Why do we let the world tell us lies about our potential or our beauty? if we are beautiful to the most amazing being in the universe who created us! then why should we worry about the standards that others have for beauty? I read something that said “instead of trying to be what the world wants you to be, try living your life by the standards the Lord has set. HIS WAYS NEVER CHANGE AND YOU WILL NEVER BE UNPOPULAR TO HIM!!! ???
 
So, whenever we face moments of insecurity or feeling low about ourselves lets be strong enough to confront it and change it!!! to not depend on anyone else for our happiness but to do it for ourselves! and to base upon what God thinks about us!? on how incredibly much He loves each and every one of us. Let’s focus on letting go of the dust or the dirt that gets in the way of our minds and instead clean it out of our lives by asking God to forgive us for thinking negatively of ourselves and to instead help us focus on the beauty that He sees in us and in others! to be able to be thankful for the fact that our bodies are working and that they are our God given temples for our soul to be here on this earth. That we may be able to take care of ourselves the best way we can and to love ourselves for the person that God has made us to be today! ?
 
Once we are able to see ourselves in Gods way and to love and respect ourselves enough that we no longer need compliments from the world around us because God alone makes us truly fulfilled and happy?Then we will be able to go and share our love with others!!! taking the focus off of ourselves and being able to serve, and give to our spiritual brothers and sisters on this earth 
Mathew 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
 
I hope that we are all able to feel God’s love in our lives more fully and more completely! to be able to feel it to the point that all of those layers of insecurity or self doubt can be fully removed to allow us to be more centered on God’s true love for us! to respect ourselves and love ourselves enough to be able to give more fully to all of those around us, or to the entire world that they may be able to feel God’s love in their lives because of us. i know that God is able to provide us with this strength and as the daughters of God we will be able to receive if we truly search for it and fully believe in what He is able to do for us. ?
Our Spiritual goal for the week is to let go of the negative thoughts of self image, self esteem, or self doubt, that the world is constantly trying to throw at us! and instead, putting a STOP to those thoughts, changing them for something positive and pushing them away with the power of prayer if we need to. Asking God to help us to see ourselves as He sees us!!! To help us be more thankful for all that we have and to forget about ourselves a little more and instead give service to someone who needs it!!…I know that the more that we work on improving this, we will be able to overcome the ridiculous standards that the world has surrounding us and we will be better able to stand strong and courageous for the love that God had for us and for what he would want us to do each day of our lives. This Joy and peace that comes from the power that God can provide is way better than anything material or external that we could possibly achieve on this earth.?
Our physical goal for this week is to drink more water and stay active! the goal is to replace one of our sugary drinks for water we can add lemon, or strawberries but the goal is nothing sugary or at least to cut back and have at least 3 glasses of water in one day 😉 and to continue to stay active and so something physical at least 2 days this week! those are good goals for ourselves this week! We can do this! 🙂
I’m here if you need me! stay positive and remember it’s ONE DAY AT A TIME!!! deep breaths and we do our very best! See you tonight for an awesome class that will burn calories!!! and a great meditation to leave us feeling AMAZING!!!! 🙂 Hope you can make it!

Seek His Light

Our world seems to be filled with more and more darkness and evil than before…Even society, trends, social media, and many other things are sadly turning us and our world into a world that is filled with more and more selfishness, self centeredness and constantly seeking for praise or for some kind of power. In some cases, we can recognize that we are being blinded by so many distractions that we often forget about the things that really matter most in our lives. All of these things can cause us to even forget about God or what He can do for us in our lives.
There is a power that is so amazing and real that we often forget that we have access to it. This is the power that can change our days, help us focus on the things that are truly important, The power that can change our hearts and in many many cases cause wonderful blessings to come into our lives. This is the power of prayer! <3 The power that God has allowed us to have to be able to communicate with HIM! There is no need to connect to anything, no busy signals, and it can be done anywhere and at any time. We are able to be to talk to the wisest being in the entire universe!!! OUR FATHER who loves us and who has given us full access to speak to Him!!! How amazing is that? 🙂 He can provide peace, guidance, knowledge, erase pain and give strength if we only believe and really trust in His power to do so. ?
Here’s a scripture that I would like to share;
...For if ye would hearken unto the Spirit which teacheth a man to pray, ye would know that ye must pray; for the evil spirit teacheth not a man to pray, but teacheth him that he must not pray. 
 

 But behold, I say unto you that ye must pray always, and not faint; that ye must not perform any thing unto the Lord save in the first place ye shall pray unto the Father in the name of Christ, that he will consecrate thy performance unto thee, that thy performance may be for the welfare of thy soul. (2 Nephi 32: 8-9)

We have to remeber that when we least feel like praying is when we need to pray the most. God will bless us for doing so and we will be filled with peace. We must also understand that prayer is not just words, but a lot more than that. It requires us to have Faith! do we believe that God can help us? placing our full trust in Him will bring wonderful miracles into our lives.
Mark 21:22 says; And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. 
 
Prayer also requires Reverence, Sincerity, since God already knows what is truly in our hearts. We must also remember that when we ask for something we should be willing to do our part and really work hard towards it. God will open up the path for us when we do our part. 
And the last two things that are essential to have in our prayers; are Loyalty toward God. to be loyal to Him always! no matter what, even until the end and to be willing to actually do what He has put in our hearts to do. <3 and finally, the last virtue we must have is for us to be humble to have humility towards God and also believe that He will be our guide us and will never let us fall.
I have experienced the amazing power of prayer in my life…It has humbled me to change in many ways, and I continue to use it daily to help me change in more ways and to try to better myself daily. It has strengthened me in my times of need and from it I have received incredible blessings in my life that could only happen with the help of God and the Savior Jesus Christ. I want to testify because I know and have clearly felt Him in my life that I know with all my heart that God lives and that He loves us, that He listens and answers our heartfelt prayers and that even when our world seems to be full of darkness around us….God is still present to provide peace and light to the soul who seeks Him. He is our friend and he is the ONLY ONE who can provide the peace that we need in our lives. When we are connected to God we are able to be better neighbors, to be more loving to all men no matter what our differences are, but we are able to love and respect others and give service to those who need it. With Gods help we are able to surround ourselves with Peace and light. but not only that, we will be able to do the same for our homes, our families, our communities and to be a light and bring peace to any who come close to us.
We will be the light of the world in these dark times and with God by our side there’s nothing!….not even the evil power that can get in His way. We can do this because we are children of GOD and children of LIGHT!!!☀?
Love you all! and thank you again for reading the messages!
Our goal for the week is to Pray sincerely and to feel and seek for the light of God in our lives to be able to make a difference in the life of another person
Our physical goal for the week is to have more frequent healthy meals and to not eat too late either.
I hope to see you guys in class tonight for an awesome workout, toning and meditation session. Bring your friends and family so that they can all enjoy it and feel great too!
Have a blessed and wonderful day and rest of the week! I send you all a huge hug and I always keep you in my prayers. I’m here for you!!!?
Love always,

Please God

How often are we making our decisions based on pleasing God and not on pleasing the rest of the world or our own selfish desires? We are constantly surrounded by pressure from people around us, from celebrities, the internet, tv, social media etc…to try to keep up with the latests things or trends, which in some cases can create a spirit of competition within ourselves, pushing us to try to get ahead of others or to try to fit in a little more into the world around us.
When we choose to not be like everyone else, but to instead be a little more centered on pleasing God. We will see that our choices and decisions will be wiser, allowing us to have more inner strength by knowing that our decisions are based on pleasing God and not others or even ourselves!…Once God sees that our hearts are centered on pleasing Him and choosing what is right in His eyes, He will provide us with more opportunities to be His hands for someone who needs help, He will allow us to have the right words for those who need encouragement, He will provide us with a stronger sense of security within ourselves allowing us to no longer have the need to compete with anyone else because we will know that we’re here to please God and no one or nothing else.
By living our life this way, we will be much happier in every way. We will be a better person for ourselves and those around us. We will be better able to push away the outside influences that can disturb our inner desire to be at peace with God….At the end of our lives it’s not the popularity, the power or the money that brings us joy, but instead its that feeling of knowing that we did what God wanted us to do each day of our lives and to best of our abilities. These are the things that will bring true joy, peace and greatness into our lives. And that will eventually leave a wonderful legacy in the lives of our children and in the lives of those around us. <3 Let’s let our lives be filled with choices that will please God, allowing him to pour more blessings on us and most importantly to feel His smile in your lives daily! ?
Our spiritual goal for the week is: To ask ourselves with every choice if it would be pleasing to God. If it’s not, then the goal is to change it for an activity that would be pleasing to God and to experience the Joy of the results. ? (if we’re trying to better ourselves, then this is an awesome exercise to do!)
Our Physical goal for the week is: To slow down on the carbs ;)…The less we do the better! Ideally we want to replace most of our meals to make them as natural as possible, fruits, salads, nuts vegetables etc. let’s see how our bodies do when we avoid carbs, your energy may be greater, your skin may clear a little…Just see how you feel ?
Hope to see you tonight in class for an awesome workout and meditation session! <3 I’ve been so proud of everyone who has been coming and really pushing themselves to work hard and to do their best for their bodies and minds! 🙂 Just keep up the good work! don’t give up and continue to do things that are therapeutic and great for yourself, physically, emotionally and spiritually! 🙂
Class will be on tonight and next Tuesday the 28th, But on Tuesday July 5th Class will be cancelled because my family and I will be out of town that week…Class will then resume on July 12th 🙂 Thank you all for understanding and always being so wonderful and supportive. i’m blessed to have you all in my life and I want you to know that I thank God for having such wonderful woman in my life!!! ?

Enjoy the Sunlight

On cloudy and rainy days like today, It’s easy to feel lazy, frustrated, sad or gloomy about things that we have experienced or things that may come in the future. Outside influences can sometimes affect our moods and how we react to each day. It’s on days like these, that we have to remind ourselves that we are in charge of how much we let the outside situations, people or weather affect us internally. Ultimately, WE CHOOSE HOW WE FEEL DAILY!!!  how we react to the outside situations and how much sunlight we decide to keep in our hearts. ☀?
Nothing good comes from being negative or from seeking out the storms of our lives! we can’t build anything good from negativity or negative things…so, why focus on them? instead, we should choose to bring in ALL that is good and all that is light into our lives and start seeing how much sunlight we really do have. <3 We can do this by; turning off distractions and focus our attention on listening to our loved ones, by giving service, being grateful, focusing on our blessings, praying and seeking for answers to our prayers in the holy writings that we’re so blessed to have! 🙂 We often forget that God has given us His words to guide us…let’s not take them for granted, but instead use them for our benefit and strength!
Here are a couple that can help us,
☀For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7)
 
☀Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. (John 14:27)
I know that God loves us! Thats another reason why He has given us words like these to help us and strengthen us. He wants us to be positive and to look for the sunshine in our lives as hard as the storms and difficulties that we go through may be….we can always find sunshine and actually grow from those situations! letting go of the bad and keeping the good that we learn ? We can be faithful and continue to grow stronger in our faith having a spirit of happiness and of optimism about our lives…To then be able to share our light with others and help them as well! ? We are not alone, God will help us and all things in our lives will work out for our benefit, when our focus is on the GOOD!!! ☀
Our Spiritual goal for the week is: to enjoy more fully the sunlight! When we feel that our minds are seeking out storms…We’re gonna stop and think about how we can be positive or turn the situation into something good for us, that will benefit us and help us! we are in charge of making the negativity disappear! 🙂 Let’s do it!
Our Physical goal for the week is:  to do something physical that brings us joy! wether that is, walking on the beach, dancing, jogging, swimming, playing volleyball etc..basically anything that will help us feel physically good and that feels good for us! <3
Hope you can make it to class tonight! I know that the hardest thing is showing up! but once you choose to do this for yourself, your mind, body and spirit will thank you for being there!? Its so therapeutic! and for those os us who go, we know that its an awesome workout…but we also know that its a lot more than that! ? Let’s do it because we LOVE ourselves and because we need it!
Love you all!!!

Love Yourself

We are so busy waiting for someone to love us that we’ve forgotten about the one person we need to the love first -ourselves-

When we go through life thinking about what others think about us etc…We realize that we can never really find true happiness. If we can let go of those “worries or expectations” and instead focus on loving ourselves, we will see that our life will be a lot more joyful and peaceful! ?

If we want to establish healthy relationships in our lives we have to start with ourselves. Allowing us to then be able to help those around us by sharing our love, peace, light and the inner strength that we have gained. ?
Here are a few tips that can help us to love ourselves a little more.

? BE KIND TO YOURSELF: Learn to accept yourself with your shortcomings, speaking nicely and more kindly about yourself. Remind yourself that you do love and accept who you are and that you love yourself enough to want to do the best for yourself daily. ✨

? FEEL LOVE WITHIN YOU AND BE THAT LOVE : spend more time during your day focusing on self-love, try loving and positive affirmations, meditation, prayer and all that focuses you on feeling compassion, peace and love for yourself. Once you feel the positive vibrations of self-love or peace in your heart try to be in that place of love throughout the day and share your love with others in your life.

? GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK: We’re not perfect and we will all have our good days and our bad days. Remember that It’s ok when things don’t work up to your standards…Just remember to take a deep breath and know that everything will be ok.

? EMBRACE YOURSELF: Are we comfortable being alone with ourselves without feelings of anxiety fear or judgment? It’s so good for us to be alone with ourselves sometimes and to embrace the moments of silence when we can truly see how we feel. Taking in that moment to be comfortable with ourselves and to be kind and loving to ourselves.

? BE GRATEFUL: One of the most powerful things in our lives is the power of gratitude. Being grateful helps us to see how blessed we are and allows us to not worry so much about other less important issues and distractions in our lives. A good exercise to focus on gratitude and all the things that we are thankful for each day, to just take minute to say why we are thankful for them. Ex: I am truly blessed to have…(blank)…. because…..(blank)… When we do this, our hearts will be full of gratitude and we will feel so much peace from that exercise!!!?

? GIVE YOURSELF IN SERVICE TO OTHERS & SEE HOW THIS CONNECTS YOU TO GOD:  There’s no higher self love than when you are connected to God. Praying daily and having a relationship with Him brings security and self love. When we ask God daily to show us how we can help others during that day, we will see that He will begin to trust us and place people in our paths that He needs us to help! 🙂 Giving to others is a gift of love you can often give yourself which brings you even more love?

When we’re kind, considerate, compassionate and giving of ourselves, our spirit rejoices because we have reached the highest level of self-love in serving others. When we find ways to do small task or bigger acts of service we will find that our hearts will let go of what we lack and we will instead focus on deeper more meaningful things that will fill our lives with peace and our hearts with even more love. Allowing us to fully love ourselves not just “physically” but on a deeper level! By who we are inside! Our soul, our spirit and our inner beauty which will also radiate to our outer beauty as well! ?

I know that God wants us to focus on the way that He see us! On how beautiful we are to Him! Not just physically, but more importantly by who we are in spirit! And what our soul is slowly becoming. I know that God wants us to be kind to ourselves and to love ourselves daily and remember our potential as daughters of God that we have. ?

❤️Our spiritual goal for the week is to Love ourselves more than we have in the past! We have the tools to do it…We just have to really want to make that happen in our lives! So let’s  focus on loving ourselves a lot more  this week ?

?Our physical goal for the week is to have at least one healthy meal each day, if you can do more you get more points! 😉 Maybe have an awesome breakfast smoothie with veggies and fruit or a nice salad for lunch etc…basically the more nutritious the meal is the better for you! At least one healthy meal each day will help us all feel great!

Hope you can make it to class tonight @7:15 We’ve been working hard! having a good time getting rid of stress, toning, strengthening ourselves and meditating to feel amazing every time! We do this because we love ourselves!? Hope you can make it! ?

Time to Heal

All of us at one point or another have or may experience something that may be difficult for us to forgive or let go of. Unfortunately, these situations if we don’t learn how to control them can cause pain, resentment, anger, frustration or even a feeling to want to get even with those who hurt us or offend us.
This quote explains it so clearly of how important it is to take care of the wounds that we have in our lives. Just as we would with a regular wound, we would clean it, disinfect it, put a healing ointment on it and cover it until it is fully healed and until there’s no sign that it was even there in the first place. But, this healing process takes time when it involves our physical wounds and it is the same when we’re trying to heal the wounds within ourselves. We have to be patient and try to do our best each day to heal ourselves and let things go for our own good and inner peace.☀
We can clean our wounds by trying to see things for how they really, and not making a bigger deal out of our situations. We disinfect our wounds by realizing that NONE OF US are perfect, that the mistakes of others are part of the imperfections we will have to experience in this life. We must also recognize honestly with ourselves that we are imperfect too!
Luke 6: 41 says;
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, 
 but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?  
 
This is when we realize how important it is to keep the focus on healing and taking care of ourselves first! To not focusing on the “faults” of others, what they said or did etc. but instead, focus on what we can do for our own selves. The last part of disinfecting our wounds fully, even though this may be painful or really hard in some cases, is to DO GOOD to them that hate us and despitefully use us!
Luke 6:35-37
 
But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: 

It is cleansing and healing to do good, our hearts will be softened and we will feel great from doing good to others. even when its hard…We are capable of doing it. 🙂
And last but not least in the healing process is to cover the wound. That means we STOP talking about it! and we specially STOP thinking about it!!! Every time we think about it it robs us of our present time and it drains and steals our energy of today!!! Instead what we should do is that if the thoughts come into our minds we must replace them quickly! We can say, i’m trying to heal myself and the best thing to do right now is to not think about it…but instead focus on God’s plan for me and giving my energy to all that is good in my life right now, focusing on accomplishing my goals, aspirations and the type of person I want to be when I see God again after this life! <3
The time to heal is now! It’s time for us to LET GO!!! <3 To love ourselves enough to not continue to hurt ourselves by thinking about the past! but instead learn those lessons, move on, and heal the wounds FULLY! We are totally able and fully capable to forgive and let go completely! It’s possible!!! Plus, We’re not alone! God wants us to learn this important attribute in our lives. He will help us!…specially cause none of us want to show up to his presence knowing that we’re still carrying things that affect us, that we’re holding grudges from people who hurt us etc! It’s time to let Go and heal ourselves now! God will help our hearts heal! His power is real to help us! ?  We have to put in the work, take care of ourselves and He will help us with the rest. I hope that we all have a stronger desire to forgive, to let things go and to look for the peace that our lives need daily! ?
Our Spirtiual Goal is to Stop thinking about about it…heal ourselves, forgive and LET GO! Try it for this week! keep your thoughts focused on meaningful things and see how you feel. <3
Our physical goal for the week is to do something physical for ourselves at least 3 days this week! a walk, run, or anything that feels good for you!! <3 
Have a blessed and wonderful day!!! Do your best to take care of yourself in every way! <3 We will have class tonight from 7:15 to 8:30 to get rid of stress, tone, and meditate. & please don’t forget  that this class is for everyone! we’re there to do our very best and we’re all here to support each other on our journey! We’re not there to compare ourselves but to help ourselves! We are all sisters andthe class is meant to help us do a little bit better today, physically, emotionally and spiritually.?
Love you all!!!

Keep Trying

Each day we arise from our beds, we are given new opportunities to choose to do better than yesterday, to aim for our goals and to try to accomplish all that is good for our lives.

Unfortunately, there may be times when we can feel a little discouraged and wonder if we’re doing enough, if we’re making a difference or falling short of the person we are trying to become. We may feel disappointed at the fact that things sometimes don’t go as we wish or plan and we may even wonder is our prayers are even being heard…But, these thoughts can be harmful to us, creating feelings In us that cause us to be doubtful, feel sad, frustrated, impatient, and unhappy.

When we allow these emotions to enter our minds, it is so important for us to stop ❌  the negative thoughts form becoming worse as soon as we notice them! And instead, we must remind ourselves that these feelings don’t come from God!!! But from the adversary who wants us to be miserable like he is!…The longer that we allow those kinds of negative thoughts to stay in our minds the more they will slow down our progress and not allow us to continue forward with strength focusing on those things that will bring us ultimate joy. ?
We have to remind ourselves that God is the creator of LOVE!!! He loves us deeply and individually because we are His children!!! ? At times we may not always behave our best :/…but as long as we are trying….He will be happy with all the good that we do! The most important thing to Him is that WE KEEP TRYING!!! That we don’t give up on doing what is right and that we move forward with joy in our lives. 🙂 He sees all the wonderful things that we do daily and wants us to grow on this journey little by little, one day at a time developing wisdom and knowledge and trusting Him always along our way.  He reminds us that material things and other things in this world are really not important….But that what really matters most, is what is in our soul and our relationship with God…<3 He wants us to know that every moment of sadness and discouragement does matter to Him! And during those moments is when He wants us to come to Him in prayer, to talk to Him, to share our joys, and our difficulties with Him and to search for His strength to overcome and do better with His help. I know He will provide us with His peace, with energy and power that we need to continue to move forward and to do all that is right and beautiful in His eyes. ?
I like to think of Him as if He was the sun in our lives, ☀ He shines constantly, and His light covers the whole world!!! but it is always UP TO EACH ONE OF US to face Him! It is up to us, how we use the light properly in our lives and in a way that will be for our good and benefit. Some may choose to close the blinds and hide or turn away form the light, closing everything to stay in the darkness even though the sun may be out…others will choose to let the light become fuller and fuller in their lives, until it covers all that they are and all that they have…Basically, we control how much light we want to receive and what we want to do with the power from the “sunlight” of God. The light will give us a lot more power and it will allow us to continue forward towards the potential that God has prepared for each one of us! The most important thing is that we keep trying! we can do it!!! 🙂
Our spiritual goal for the week is to remind ourselves each day that God loves us for trying our best! and to continue to fill our lives with His light! ?

Our physical goal for the week is to exercise at least 3 day this week! 😉 If you guys are planing on coming to class tonight, that will be one less to do! lol but push yourself to do your best and if you need me, I’m here to support you!?
I can’t wait to see everyone tonight! we’re gonna have a wonderful time together and its always the most therapeutic thing of my week! I love you all and i’m here for you! thank you for reading these little messages that I send out every week! I really do it with all my heart and I pray that they will help us always! Have a blessed and wonderful day!!!?
Love,

Letting the Good win

There are times when we focus too much on the negative and often forget to think about all the good that’s around us. We sometimes even allow events to create negative emotions in us that can often overpower the good and cause us to feel uneasy and uncomfortable. But this is a good question to think about; How often are we allowing the negative to win in us? :(…Lets think about how we feel when we are negative. It is draining, stressful, exhausting and for anybody that’s around us when we’re negative, its really not fun to be around. :/ We have to remind ourselves that the cycle of negativity does’t do us any good! if anything, it will only bring worse things into our lives. It will affect ourselves, our relationships, our opportunities and even our health! we can’t allow it to take control of us. But instead we must control it, remove it quickly and let it go out of our lives as soon as we notice…Because we care about ourselves and have no desire to bringing more negativity into our lives at all.
On the other hand, notice what a huge difference it makes in the life of someone if they just CHOOSE to change that negative situation or mentality into a POSITIVE ONE?!!! to choose more joy in our lives!! and allow the GOOD to win in our hearts! ? We will notice that we will feel better about ourselves, our relationships will improve, our opportunities will be greater, others will want to be around us, and our health will be totally different too! We will be able to enjoy all the positive results and the effects that come from focusing on having only the GOOD or POSITIVE in our hearts. No matter the circumstance, it can always be changed into a positive experience. No matter what we go through, we have full control of our minds and thoughts to choose happiness and to choose Joy!…at the end of it all, WE CHOOSE what we want!!! <3 But we know that if we try to find joy in our days, it will bring joy into our lives, and into our future! it will bring peace, tranquility, happiness and a sense of trust in God! Knowing that everything will be ok!✨? The results from begin to be POSITIVE will change our ENTIRE WORLD!!! ?

So, this week our focus is to be fully in charge of our own happiness! ? It is not controlled by someone else or by what happens or what others do, or say etc… It is fully controlled by us! And we decide to CHOOSE THE POSITIVE!!! We choose the good! We choose what will bring us peace, joy, good health, clarity and all that is good into our lives & hearts.? Let’s do our best this week to notice exactly what we’re keeping in our hearts and focusing on letting the good win for ourselves!!! 🙂 letting go of negativity will free us and allow some amazing positive things to come into our lives. God wants us to be joyful and happy In our lives, He is the giver of ALL good and when we have Him by our side and trust Him, He will provide more than we can imagine. ?

Our physical goal for the week is to lower our sugar intake.:/ I know it’s a tough one, but sugar can be so harmful to us not just physically but mentally. It can be supper addicting and its good to cut back to improve our health and how it makes us feel. We can do it! and if you need help, call me, text me, or email me! We’re all in this together! <3 🙂

Can’t wait to see you guys tonight @7:15 for a wonderful class that will definitely help us release stress, get rid of negativity and fill our lives with positivity and a peaceful mental attitude that will help us to better ourselves physically, emotionally and spiritually! ? hope you can make it! ? have a wonderful joyful day! & Remember to keep your week positive and to choose happiness! …You are all a huge blessing in my life! ?

Love you all!
