DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 11 – “Love and Forgive”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 11 – “Love and Forgive”

Today’s Body Connection: Remember, no matter what your body weight is, God loves you. Even when you fall off your diet, you can never lose favor with your higher self. The Universe is an absolute power of love that can only express love. It knows nothing about your falling off the wagon or your 25-pound weight gain. So often we equate Love with what we look like. God only sees your divine self, your spirit. As you connect with your body-temple, know that you are always blessed. There are times when we bring the practice in alignment with our intentions, and sometimes we don’t. Don’t judge it as right or wrong; understand that we are on a path of the transformation of the body, mind, and spirit. There will be times that our eating will be dead on and our consistency of training is the best it has ever been. But there will also be times when we won’t be as focused as we would like to be. Remember, God’s love is not contingent on the size of our jeans; love is the same today, yesterday, and tomorrow, it is nonjudgmental and unchanging.” Be grateful that no matter how many times you fall, you can always get back up and keep moving. God loves you no matter what.

Today’s Meditative Thought: True redemption is the act of forgiving yourself and setting your mind to rest. Long after we have received the forgiveness of God and the person we have wronged, we continue to hold on to the guilt, convincing ourselves that God could never love us again. We have the choice to make things right within our mind. The redemptive power of God is the knowing that we are loved no matter what. Yes, we must make things right with those we have harmed, but we must ultimately make things right within ourselves.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember that God loves you no matter what. Your past is forgotten and forgiven; the only thing we must do is forgiving ourselves. Examine your life and see if there is anything you are holding on to that needs to be forgiven and/or released. It is time to place it on the Alter of Forgiveness. As you workout, you might create a mantra that is about forgiving your shortcomings. “I forgive myself for forgetting myself” or “I forgive myself for the weight gain.”

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember to redeem my mind with self-love and forgiveness. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 10 – “Never Alone”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 10 – “Never Alone”

Today’s Body Connection: Sometimes it might appear that you are the only one in your life trying to get in shape. You might think that you are the only one on a diet, or that you are the only person in the world trying to loose 20 pounds. Remember, when you say yes to transformation, you are supported by the Universe; you are not alone. Your intention to be more is your membership in a very exclusive club; you are a part of a tribe that is awake and aware. There are millions of enlightened beings running side by side with you as you travel the road of illumination. Surround yourself with like-minded people who share your desire to grow. Connect with people who inspire you and help to up-level your consciousness. Make friends with folks at your gym. Take the time to search for people who are living the life you want. My mother always says, “If you hang out with nine unhealthy people, sooner or later you will become the tenth.” You are not alone so you might as well travel with your kindred spirits. Remember, fellowship is key to your transformation.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Don’t be afraid to be by yourself. Sometimes we need our “me time” to reconnect with our “God time.” Be free to remove the distractions of life. Take the time to simply get away and abide in God. But remember the truth: you are never alone. You are connected to God and the Universe. Everywhere you go you are a part of the collective.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember that “alone” is different than “lonely.” The light is everywhere that you are, so, really, we can never be truly alone. The action plan for today is simple: know your connection to the Universe. Every chance you get, remind yourself that you are connected.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember that I am never alone; God is always with me. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 9 – “Downloads From God”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 9 – “Downloads From God”

Today’s Body Connection: Have you asked God for an insight on how to train your body-temple? We have the capability to download all the information we need to create a successful physical practice. Remember, you are connected to an all-powerful energy that knows all things, and it knows what you need. We have so many choices for the physical practice; we just need to be mindful. We ask the Universe for direction and guidance on most things, so why not download your physical activity? Remember, every day is different, so you can have a new physical practice every day. Maybe Monday is a walking day and Tuesday is a dance class day. Maybe Wednesday you get the download to go swimming and Thursday could be weight-training day. We live in a universe filled with infinite possibilities and that include your workouts.

Today’s Meditative Thought: There is a reason why you downloaded the vision. Now, what are you going to do with it? Will you let the vision sit in the back of your head and fade away, or will you step out with faith and see it come to life? “Anything you can envision, you can make happen with intention and a strong game plan.” Time to put into action your divine download. Believe that it can be done with the power of the Universe that lives within you.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember that every idea downloaded from the mind of God has meaning. Write them down so you don’t forget. Start your journal of Divine Ideas. On the page, write out your action plan. There is something you can do every day to bring your vision to light. Begin with something simple, like prayer, meditation, or making a phone call to someone who is already doing the work.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember that I am the divine idea of God. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 8 – “Remembering Freedom ”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 8 – “Remembering Freedom ”

Today’s Body Connection: Remember, when we are physically active and participating in a healthy lifestyle we free ourselves from body limitations. When we experience a deconditioned body, it holds us back from living a full life. When we live a sedentary life, everything becomes a struggle, from walking up steps to playing with our children. It is time to move and be free. The first step is set your intentions; the next is get into action. Get up off the couch and take a walk around the block. You are the key that unlocks the door to your own freedom. Only you can change you life, isn’t it about time?

Today’s Meditative Thought: You have the choice to manifest the life you desire, but it begins with releasing the things that are not a part of the Divine vision. Remember, your old experiences are just that: old. Let them go.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember that freedom is releasing the stuff that is not serving you any longer. This could mean people, places, jobs, ideas, thoughts, and relationships. Take the time to make a list of everything that is holding you back. And begin to let these things go.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember that I am the manifestation of God, made human; therefore I am blessed. I release everything that is not in alignment with this truth. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 7- “Joy of the Universe”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 7- “Joy of the Universe”

Today’s Body Connection: Remember, when we connect with our body we connect with the Joy of the Universe. There is nothing more enjoyable than feeling healthy. There is nothing in the world that can take away the elation that we experience when energized by fitness. We try using shopping, sex, alcohol, and drugs to achieve the experience of feeling wholeness, but the truth is, it is an inside job that can only be achieved by the practice. As you dive into your workouts, allow your energy and your vibration to fill that place that appears empty. Connect with the Joy of working out. Find the space of gratitude; connect with your inner being.

Meditative Thought: Joy is an energy that can overcome any disappointment. “The Joy of the lord is my strength” is a scripture of hope. You can endure anything just by looking for the Joy. If you are having trouble activating it, ask God to show you the Joy, have faith, and just hold on. “Weeping may endure for a night, but Joy comes in the morning.”

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember that Joy is not based on circumstance; it is an absolute divine quality that is always available in any situation. As you train you body temple, find one thing that works in your life. Connect with the feeling of joy and gratitude than remove that thing and just be in the Joy energy. For the rest of your day, mindfully activate Joy everywhere you go.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember to hold on, let go, and let God. I am Joy expressing itself. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 6 – “Lessons”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 6 – “Lessons”

The Body Connection: Remember, when you exercise, what is your mindset? Do you find your workouts challenging, hard to enjoy and tedious or are they fun, enjoyable, and filled with insights? I invite you to see each training session as a time for mental and spiritual growth. Every workout is a lesson of your personal strength and power. When you finish your session, celebrate the achievement. Your completion is a testament to how amazing you truly are. Every time you finish another mile, or the last repetition in the set, or the final crunch, that is the perfect time to let out a big, fat yes. Today, you have accomplished your intention to be better, stronger, and more of you. And that is one of the greatest lesson that we can ever learn.

Meditative Thought: These lessons we have said yes to allow us to be more and to share more of God. Each challenge is the invitation to surrender to the Divine that lives within us. Instead of asking God why, we should say, “bring it on.” After the fire, we will emerge as Gold.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember that life is a series of opportunities to awaken and activate our true, authentic selves. When you are faced with a challenge, be grateful and say thanks for the opportunity to grow.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember to awaken and to live to my highest potential. I embrace the lessons of life and I stand strong and in my spiritual authority. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 5 – “With God’s Eyes ”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 5 – “With God’s Eyes ”

The Body Connection: Remember, as you begin your workout program, what do you see when you look in the mirror? Do you see someone who is broken, unhappy, and in need of a shift? That is only the external representation of what you are feeling. When we work from a place of brokenness, it is more challenging to find a place of self-love. The truth is, we work out to know more love within our being. During your workouts, see yourself the way God sees you. The Universe only knows your divine spirit and perfection. Our only connection to God is the absolute presence and essence of Love. If we wait until we reach our goal to experience that connection, the journey will be long and filled with ups and downs. We can begin our physical transformation with the sight of the divine and see ourselves with eyes of love, kindness, and compassion.

Meditative Thought: The Universe does not see our human flaws and mishaps; God only knows itself as love, joy, peace, order, balance, prosperity, and abundance. When you begin to see yourself as anything other than Love, you are blaspheming God and God’s creation.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember to see yourself with God’s eyes. There is nothing that God sees but the Love; today, move from that place. In everything you do, move with the Love of God shining as you. You are blessed, so be mindful of the truth.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember that I am the divine expression of God and all of its qualities. And so I am. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 4 – “Be Still and Know”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 4 – “Be Still and Know”

The Body Connection: Remember, yoga is our invitation to slow down and be present. The asana position, also known as the stillness, requires us to stop and connect with the body and/or something greater. During yoga practice, it is the stillness that invites us to know our divine self. The physical practice of yoga is a metaphorical battle with the big self and the ego. Our soul’s desire is to know serenity and peace, to release the chaotic activity of the mental mind. The Bhagavad Gita, sacred scriptures for the yoga practice, say, “When thy mind, that may be wavering in the contradictions of many scriptures, shall rest unshaken in divine contemplation, then the goal of Yoga is thine.” In other words, if we can allow our thoughts to fall into God, we will know our connection to our higher self.

Meditative Thought: God wants to have a private encounter with your soul on a daily basis. It is the practice of meditation that helps you to embrace your greatness. When we choose the path of stillness we will know the power that sustains us.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember to be still and know that God is God. It is the stillness that brings a deeper awareness of our unity with the Holy Spirit. Take the time to sit in the secret garden of your consciousness.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember to be still and know that God is everything. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 3 – “God Within ”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 3 – “God Within ”

The Body Connection: Remember, exercise is a way of expressing God within. Every time we consciously train your body you are doing spiritual work to express more love, light and joy that lives within you. The Essence of life lives within you; therefore every weight you lift is the expression of the Universal presence of God. Your physical practice is about creating a body-temple that is without the pain and weakness that may hinder your spiritual work. After a hard, vigorous training session, our bodies release hormones called endorphins, imbuing us with a euphoric feeling that is chemically induced. I call it the God Vibration. The next time you finish your physical practice, take a moment and acknowledge the God Vibration. Be still, and once you feel it, recognize it as a space of gratitude. When we exercise, it becomes a tool for reaching our inner being.

Meditative Thought: The only limitations you have are the ones you place upon yourself. God is bigger than any situation, any problem. See beyond your human limitations and catch the divine vision of God that is within you.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember that the Universal presence that lives within you is boundless, without limits. As you work out, create a mantra that reminds you that you have the power to do all things.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember that God lives within my soul and that I can do anything. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 2 – “God Expressing Its Self ”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 2 – “God Expressing Its Self ”

The Body Connection: Remember, the body-temple is the God in the flesh and deserves to be treated as such. When we choose to exercise, we choose to play in the field of God. When we begin to activate our internal strength in our physical practice, we allow the Universe to express itself fully. It’s not only the mind and the spirit that requires a practice to grow; the body is in need of work for its edification, too. The Universe wants to express it self in every way; allow each workout to be an expression of God inside of you.

Meditative Thought: Our connection to this high vibration fuels every essence of our lives. Know that the power that is within you is divine and full of grace. Love is the answer to all things; we can do anything with the love of the Universe.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember that you are God’s love expressing itself uniquely as you. Every moment you can remind yourself that you are expressing the love of God.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember that I am bathed in God’s love and I am blessed. Amen
