DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 21 – “Overcoming Fear and Doubt”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 21 – “Overcoming Fear and Doubt”

Today’s Body Connection: One of our biggest challenges is to overcome the fears, doubts, and worries related to our body image. Even when we have reached our ideal weight or we lose a few inches, the old fear tapes of self-hatred becomes our focus. We can always find something about our appearance that displeases us. Remember, the goal is how we feel, never about what we look like. When we overcome the fear of the appearance transformation becomes easier.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Martin Luther King Jr. was advised by his associates not to rock the boat. Gandhi’s friends told him that the British government would never release its stranglehold on India. Yet both men remained strong in their convictions and in the integrity of their souls. If you know, that you know, that you know, you are in the integrity with your soul, push on, and keep your faith. Stand on the ground that you are anchored in. Remember that God has your back. Sometimes we are called to stand-alone with God, anchored in the ‘knowingness’ that truth is on our side.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember that every great revelation, idea, or transformation has its moments of fear and doubt. When you begin to experience uneasiness, embrace it and ask, “What part of me is being triggered?” Awareness is the focus.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I stand and push past my fears. I embrace my greatness. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 20 – “Begin Again”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 20 – “Begin Again”

Today’s Body Connection: Everyday is a new day; therefore every workout is a new workout. Every time we step into our physical practice, we can begin again, creating a unique experience. During weight training, each repetition within a set represents a new beginning. We must learn to focus on one repetition at a time, from the start to the end. As we move the weight, we learn to breathe into the movement, so that each inhale announces the start of the work and each exhale indicates the finish. Today, begin again with your awareness that every day, workout, exercise, repetition, breath, and moment is new.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Once you have paused and taken a breath, you are ready to begin again. Life is a series of starting over. Every breath is new, every moment is a beginning, and every idea is a fresh beginning in the mind of God. When life gets a little interesting, just push the restart button and begin again.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember you can always begin again; just stop, breathe, and be still. Simply push your personal restart button. Decide what is the best way for you to begin again and do it as often as you need.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I breathe in the new breath of God. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 19 – “The Solution”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 19 – “The Solution”

Today’s Body Connection: Remember, the solution to all your body issues is you. The power to transform from deconditioned to healthy starts with awareness. When we identify a need to change the way we live, we must take action. Don’t wait for “one day” to show up. Whatever we put off today will take more effort to do tomorrow. The solution is your aspiration to do something. When the inspiration comes to shift your life, remind yourself that you are the answer. Only you can do the work.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Remember, the answer is always at a higher level of consciousness than the issue. Einstein said, “You can never solve a problem on the level on which it was created.” If we look for the answer with the same consciousness we will get more of the same problems. Today, think higher, reach for a solution that can only be found within your soul. Remember, the answer is always within you, ready to be revealed.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember there is always a solution to every problem. When a challenge arises, take the time to step back and remove yourself from the situation. Go out, take a walk or a run, and clear your head. Move into prayer time to ask your spiritual authority to reveal the answer. You might need to do this several times today, but it is worth it.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember to breathe and relax. I can make it through anything with God’s help. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 18 – “Release the Fight”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 18 – “Release the Fight”

Today’s Body Connection: When we remember to let go of our impulse to resist change, we become aware of our wholeness and transformation becomes easy. We hold on to our old stories of “there is not enough time to work out“ or “my family is big-boned so I am destined to be fat.” The truth is that we can transcend any of our old perceptions about our body-temples. We have the ability to transform our lives and live a healthy lifestyle. There is a deep desire within our souls to expand and be the divine expression that we are. Release the fight and surrender to an everyday practice of healthy living.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Mother Teresa would never go to an anti-war rally because she stood for peace. She said, “I was once asked why I don’t participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I’ll be there.” This makes perfect sense to me. Whatever we fight against will persist in our life. If our mind is focused on the things we don’t want, we will get more of what we don’t want. Have you ever heard the saying, “Where your attention goes, energy will flow”? Keep your mind steadfast on your intentions and goals. It’s time to free your mind from the idea that you must fight for anything. Transformation is about becoming the vision, not fighting it.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember the key to peace is releasing the fight. Whenever you become aware that you are resisting God, take a breath and surrender. Let go and fall into the arms of God. Just say yes.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I release the fight and embrace God. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 17 – “The Bridge”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 17 – “The Bridge”

Today’s Body Connection: Our physical practice helps to bridge the gap between our desires and our greatness. When we set the intention for a life that is fulfilling, full of health and fitness, it is the action that brings the vision to life. When we participate in our workouts, it connects us to a space of infinite possibilities. Completing a vigorous training session or a long run reveals our greatest ability and potential to achieve anything and everything that we can conceive. Remember, the moments when you climbed to the top of a hill on a hike, or finished a bike ride, or when your trainer said, “well done,” at the conclusion of a workout, your energy is so high and the vibration is out of this world. We must ride that inspirational wave; it helps us to pursue our dreams. Apply that powerful feeling to everything you do. Watch your life expand beyond your current paradigm.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Remember, spiritual growth can only be achieved with a willingness to surrender to the practice. Meditation, prayer, affirmations, sacred study, fellowship, and generosity are the bridges to transformation. When we say yes to our own spiritual and physical growth, there must also be an action for the fulfillment of the intention.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember that what bridges our consciousness with God is the ability to connect with God. During your time in meditation, cultivate your connection to your higher self. Do not move until you know that you know.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, my practice expands my life, and there is nothing I can’t do. I stand in the knowing that I am one in God. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 16 – “True Power”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 16 – “True Power”

Today’s Body Connection: What is it you really want? It’s more than to get into your skinny jeans or to lose weight for a wedding. Of course, reaching a certain weight by an important date can be a surface goal, but what happens when you reach that day or when it’s over? The majority of people will lose weight for the special day, and when it has come and gone, they gain the pounds back. The reason for the re-gain, or the “yo-yo” weight syndrome, is lack of vision. Again, I ask what do you really want? I invite you to see the underlying intention for working out. We train to connect with our true self, health, and wholeness; we work out to know true power, and true power is the recognition of the Divine within. When we connect to our physical strength, it is the spiritual strength that is empowered. Remember, there is always a deeper intention for your external desires. Your desire to feel better is really the intention to know your wholeness. Your physical practice will help you to know the true meaning of healing.

Today’s Meditative Thought: The only power we have is our connection to our higher self. Only from Unity consciousness can we achieve our greatness. True power is going after what we want with the authority of God fueling our every move. Know who and what lives inside your soul. Every day cultivate your relationship with your higher self. Remember, there is no mountain we cannot climb in God.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember that we are in union with God. Take the time to journal. As you move through your day, observe your connection with God. Make a list of everything and everyone that reveals your divine connection. When you become aware, write it down and affirm it with a simple mantra, “I am one with…”

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am one with true divine power. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 15 – “Low State or High State”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 15 – “Low State or High State”

Today’s Body Connection: Remember, living a healthy life is based on awareness, a divine mindfulness that you cannot separate the mind from the body and the body from the spirit. It is all connected. Health and fitness is a higher state of consciousness. When we eat, we must remember that it is a spiritual experience. Not only do we pray and thank God for the food we are about to receive, but eating is also about nourishment of the body-temple, home of your spirit. Our fitness has more than a superficial meaning, if we choose. There is a difference between working out to know your divinity and working out to get into your skinny jeans. It’s not about wrong our or right, just different levels of consciousness. It’s about our awareness and our intentions. To know your divine self is a high state of consciousness; to drop a dress size or two is a low state of consciousness. The higher state will always bring us inner peace, while the lower state’s recompense is fleeting and disappointing. Choose the higher state.

Today’s Meditative Thought: The low state of consciousness is when we are asleep to the greatness that is within ourselves. The high state of consciousness is when this greatness is activated and in use. Today is the day we wake up and set the planet ablaze. It is time to transform our world and it begins with you.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember you can be in a low state of consciousness or a high state of consciousnesses. Today is a day of awareness. Stay awake!

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember the time to transform is now. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 14 – “Let Your Shift Shine ”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 14 – “Let Your Shift Shine ”

Today’s Body Connection: Remember, everything you do is to enhance your life. Your transformation is for the purpose of “having life and life more abundantly.” When a shift happens on the outside, it is in direct relationship to the shift that is happening on the inside. There is a vibration and a light that you will shine. You will radiate Joy and, in turn, you will receive more Joy. It is the Law of Radiance; what you radiate you will receive back. Your workout will allow you to activate the best in your life. When you feel strong and healthy you inspire the people around you. Let your transformation shine; not only will people notice the physical change, they will see the light return to your eyes.

Today’s Meditative Thought: It’s up to you to bring your own Joy. Don’t wait for someone else to bring it; you could be waiting a long time. Joy is what you are, so activate it.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember that the only thing that is missing in your relationship is what you aren’t bringing. Your relationship is a reflection of your inner awareness. What you see as missing, is your invitation. If you see a lack of love, be more loving. If joy is what you think is missing, be more joyful. Bring the peace where you see chaos. It is up to you.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember to bring everything that is needed in all my relationships. Amen

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
