Friday Affirmation and Body Connection – Celebrating the Light

This week we prepared for the holidays with a focus on “Celebrating The Light” as our Meditation and Action plan. We end the week by taking that meditation message further with our Body Connection.

The Need To Move!

To really begin celebrating the light we need to move. So let’s move, shake, and take that dance, yoga, spin or  jogging class. That’s right, NO more excuses, because there will ALWAYS be a reason not to go. ALWAYS. As a trainer and fitness instructor for 20+ years I’ve heard it all and the most common excuse that people give for not working out is, “I have no time”.

Brothers and sisters, let me be straight with you….Time isn’t the problem; it’s the management of it that’s the problem. Have you heard yourself say this, “When I feel better I will start to work out.” The problem with this excuse is the fact that it is in the future, not the present. Unless of course you are suffering a 102F fever or under a doctors orders to limit exercise, then please stay home. Otherwise take a minute to circle “one day” on the calendar;

Commit

On this “One day” you commit to not jump ship. So say with me….It’s time to stop making excuses and get moving. I LOVE this quote by Wayne Gretzky, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take“. If we begin to live a better life, we begin taking those shots and sure we’ll miss some, but we also will make some too. The time to make the shots is today. Allow your inner light to shine. No more excuses.

This week’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath…..breathe… taking in the message and exhale…..breathe again and say to yourself I am the experience of Light that is my being. God’s Presence fuels my life and I am a blessing to all I meet and today I begin making my shots.

Peace and Blessings,

Friday Affirmation and Body Connection – Saying Yes

Have you said yes to your health? When we say yes to health and fitness, we say yes to letting our inner light shine. But before we head on out to tackle the sport or gym of our choice, take that time to prepare. Just like you wouldn’t go on a marathon run the first time out or begin a hard workout without a warm-up properly prep.

Prepare your mind and body for the journey of transformation

Prepping your mind is important in your journey of transformation. For example, if you decide that running or walking is your preferred form of exercise, then begin by choosing an area to run or walk that is pleasing to you. Research the different routes and paths you can take even the type of paths, grass, trail, asphalt, track etc…. Plus equip yourself by investing in a good pair of running shoes, and running gear. If yoga is your choice of exercise, get your own yoga mat, towels etc to help you have the best experience possible. If you are looking for a gym, find the place that speaks to you, and ask yourself, can I be here? Does it feel like a community? Not every workout place is the right one for you, so don’t settle. Preparation like a good warm-up means giving yourself the best opportunity to shine and be successful.

Our Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, Identify yourself with the Light within, and allow it to catch fire and shine bright. And so it is. Amen

Peace and blessings,

Friday Affirmation and Body Connection – The Illuminated Life

We’ll end the week by building on the illuminated life meditation from Monday’s post and look at water as way to connect with your body. Aqua aerobics and swimming are two of the best ways to get in shape. As your body-temple is forced to move through resistance as the water it creates a 360-degree weight room. The body is 60% water, so the natural flow of the pool supports your intention. Today, explore your neighborhood, find your community pool, and go get wet. As we continue to discover this world of health and fitness, we must be willing to try new forms of exercise. As we dance the dance of transformation, our paths give us new ideas to express the light that lives within us.

Our Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, and repeat; my life is the life of God and I live the life that illuminates this planet. And so it is. Amen

Have a terrific weekend!

Friday Affirmation and Body Connection – Thankfulness

I hope that you all had a terrific Thanksgiving with your loved ones.  For this week’s body connection and affirmation, we’ll begin and end with gratitude and continue to build on the theme from Monday and my Thanksgiving message.

After our hard workout, we can simply be grateful that the workout is over or that we went a little further that we intended to go or be thankful and appreciate that our body is working well enough to workout or that we can afford a trainer or gym membership. What I’m imparting is that there is always something to be grateful for. When we actively appreciate what we have or done, it calms and centers us. When we forget to be thankful, we can be off, not right, and always looking for more.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, Give thanks and be graceful. Amen

Happy Thanksgiving

skip-200x200Celebrating Thank You and Gratitude

Happy Thanksgiving or what I like to call Happy Gratitude Day. As we begin to gather and celebrate this beautiful day of thanks, let us remember of all the things in our life that we are thankful for and that is good. In my experience, we are truly grateful when we realize that it is never about what we can get it but it’s always about what we can give. Remember, if we are truly grateful for life’s manifestation it’s easy and graceful. Be mindful though that although the attitude of gratitude is great be especially mindful to practice it beyond Thanksgiving.

It’s as easy as saying “thank you”

My life as a transformational coach is exciting and filled with miracles as I get to connect with many different people that touch me in so many ways. I just want to take a moment and say thank you for making such a positive part of my life and those of my team. From myself and the team at Mind Body Spirit Solution we wish you a very safe and wonderful Thanksgiving and we look forward to being with you together during this holiday season.

Peace and many blessings,

Friday Affirmation and Body Connection – The Affirmative

Body Connection

Greetings from Atlanta, where I am presenting at Empower Fitness. This week we covered the action plan of affirmative prayer and with it an understanding that you are one with the source of life. When transforming our body-temple our hopes and desires carry us from point A to point B. During this process one must keep faith that transformation is possible and that your goals are achievable. By keeping hope it reinforces that little spark of light at the forefront of every session. Remember that no matter what your physical goal is; weight-loss, resistance training, yoga advancement, jogging distance, or a marathon— stay with it; you can do it!

This week’s affirmation: Take a moment and reflect that your life is the life of God and that you are one with all Divine qualities. So breathe and reflect these qualities taking a moment and let it be. Amen

Have a terrific weekend!

Friday Affirmation and Body Connection – Faith, Hope, Prayer and Gratitude

Practice

This week’s Body Connection we continue our focus on this month’s theme of “Faith, Hope, Prayer and Gratitude” via “Practice“. We have all heard the saying, “practice makes perfect.” Now let’s change it around: “perfect makes practice.” What I mean by that is when we understand our divine perfection we free ourselves to do the practice required to sustain that awareness. For the next 30 days commit to a physical practice.

When I move my body I can feel the activation of the spirit of hope. It’s what gives me that energy in class and one that I love to share. Every time we say yes to fitness, everything else becomes a reflection of the practice. Walk, run, dance, weight train, for God’s sake shake it! LOL  It doesn’t matter; get moving and watch your life unfold to greatness.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, in the mind of God I have no problems or issues. God is bigger than any worries I could have. And so it is. Amen

Have a terrific and blessed weekend!
