DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 11 “Surrender to Grace”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT: Surrendering – Day 11 “Surrender to Grace”

The Body Connection: As we begin the journey to transform the body-temple, there is a requirement of surrender. There are days when you might not want to get up and get moving, but it is a must. Every day the body not only requires exercise, it craves it. There are no shortcuts around getting in shape; it is challenging and sometimes uncomfortable but the payoff is so worth it. Remember your promise to yourself to stay active and to live a healthier lifestyle. The Universe has your back and you are supported. So wake up and get moving; walk, run, dance, work out, and connect with your divine self. Once you surrender to the work, you will find the grace that is sufficient.

Meditative Thought: When we surrender to the will of God, this is the practice of allowing grace to flow as our life. Grace is the easy movement of the Universe, the unobstructed blessing in our life. Begin to align your thoughts with your commitment to a healthier way of life

Today’s Action Plan: Today, surrender to the flow of Grace. As you work out, use a mantra that reminds you of how strong you are. A simple affirmation will do the job: “I am strong and filled with Grace.” Keep a daily journal of your “Ah-ha” moment as you continue on your journey.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am strong, powerful, and one with Grace. I bless my journey as I live my greatest life. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 5 “Whose Life Is It Anyway?”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 5 “Whose Life Is It Anyway?”

Meditative Thought: When you feel the need to control the outcome of every situation and you think things are not going your way, ask yourself the question, “Whose life is it anyway?” This simple but divine contemplation will align your consciousness with the truth. Your life is the life of God; therefore you are free to relax. When we choose to operate from a place of surrender, we have the power to live a life that is powerful and filled with meaning.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, relax in God and allow your highest potential to unfold. When challenges appear and life seems to take you off track, ask yourself the question, “Whose life is it anyway?” Go within and listen for your answer.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I move, live, and have my being in God. All my intentions are blessed. It is done and so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 12 “A Message From the Emotional Zone”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 12 “A Message From the Emotional Zone”

Meditative Thought: Our emotions are our friend. They tell us when things are in alignment or not. When we are aware of our feelings, I call this the Emotional Zone, a time when we are listening to our inner self. When we learn to listen to our feelings and trust the message, we become open to our emotional growth. Emotional growth happens when we are not controlled by our emotions but rather when we use our emotions to check in.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, embrace your emotions. Allow your heart to empower your every move. Let your emotions guide you today. Stay focused and balanced and know that God is in your “emotional zone.”

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I embrace my high vibrations and I allow my best life to come forth. I am one with Spirit; therefore
my life rocks. And so it is. Amen.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 10 “The Positive Power”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 10 “The Positive Power”

Meditative Thought: A positive attitude is what I call “Positive Power.” The energy you that you align your intention with is key. Keeping a positive attitude will give you the power that makes all things happen. Positive Power energizes your goals and keeps you focused on a day-to-day base. Our emotions are connected to our existence. The vibrations we send out help or hinder our personal growth. Gratitude is the foundation of Positive Power. Be grateful for this time. Understand that gratitude is a divine quality of the Universe; therefore Positive Power is God in action.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today set the intention to only participate in positive interaction. Be mindful of your words. Only speak words that inspire your life.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am inspired. I stand in gratitude and empower my intentions with Positive Power. And so it is.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 8 “The Highest Consciousness of Empowerment”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 8 “The Highest Consciousness of Empowerment”

Meditative Thought: The highest consciousness of empowerment is the awareness that everything is working on your behalf. If we remain in the mindset that our highest good is unfolding right here and right now, that becomes the energetic vibration that will get us through anything; the best will emerge during any and every situation. There are times when we worry and we try to make things happen. There is nothing you can do to make God’s will to unfold and fall into place. God’s will is always unfolding. Spirit is just saying, “Wait and be still.” Everything is working at the right time. Empower yourself with the knowing that the Universe is working in you, for you, and as you. You have the power; there is nothing you need to do, so rest in that consciousness; become the power that you are.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, set the intention to know your power comes from within. You have everything you need; it’s within you. Create a simple mantra that reminds you that you have everything. Repeat the mantra every hour on the hour. Today is the day to anchor in the truth.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, as I wait I know my highest good is unfolding. And so it is.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 7 “The Power of Gestation”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 7 “The Power of Gestation”

Meditative Thought: How can we navigate through our gestation periods? Here is the key: stay focused and empowered. Keep a positive attitude. Your thoughts will affect what emerges from this waiting space. What we think is in direct relation to what we manifest for our life. Our thoughts coagulate into our existence. If we think that nothing is going on during this time, than nothing is what our experience will be. It is the waiting that allows direction to come forth. “Be still and know” is a verse from the Old Testament. Be still and know that I am God. Be still and know what to do. Be still and know where to move. Honor your gestation period and know that the great divine idea is growing inside you, ready to be birthed.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, recognize the power in doing nothing. Be still and know the truth; wait on your insight. There is power in staying put. Spend time in meditation. Throughout your day, spend time in contemplation, cultivating the insight you received during your meditation.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I allow only positive thoughts to be my experience. And so it is.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 6 “The Cocoon of Empowerment”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 6 “The Cocoon of Empowerment”

Meditative Thought: A cocoon is a place of transformation. A gestation period takes place during this miracle; what entered the cocoon is not what exits. During this transformation we must prepare for the change. The question to ask is, “What is seeking to emerge from this cocoon?” The question is an activator for your own awareness that a shift is ready to take place. The question is also a tool for empowerment. We know that we are not standing still doing nothing. We know that there is an up-leveling of our soul that is going on, and when we are ready, we will take on the vision that is pulling our existence to a higher level. Like the caterpillar that goes into a shell to transform, you, too, shall awaken anew, spread your wings, and soar.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, place yourself in a cocoon of The Divine. Be still and know that you are wrapped in God. Take the time to ask the question, “What is seeking to emerge from this cocoon?” As you move through your day, have faith that you will receive an answer. When the insight comes, you are ready to allow the Universe to take over. Empower your vision with the grace of God. Know that all is well and you are being held in the hand of Mother-Father-God.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am god’s divine idea and I am ready to fly! Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 3 “Self-Esteem to Empowerment”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 3 “Self-Esteem to Empowerment”

Meditative Thought: I once heard a spiritual leader say, “If you are looking for self-esteem, do estimable acts.” I believe there is a more expansive way of understanding that principle. Self-esteem comes from an awareness of who and what you are, which then leads to participating in estimable acts. When we see our true divine self and recognize our oneness in the Universe, our overall consciousness is elevated; we begin to love ourselves, and this in turns leads to admirable action. Everything we do come from the knowing of who we are and that is true empowerment.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, define what self-esteem mean to you. Make a list of all the things that you can do to elevate your awareness that you truly are. Prayer and meditation are at the top of the list for connecting with your divine self. Choose one task, small or great, it does not matter. While you are participating in that assignment, remember who and what you are. Remind yourself that ‘you do because you are;’ not the reverse. At the end of the day, journal about your experience.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I recognize my self-esteem comes from my connection with God. And so it is, and so I let it be.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 2 “The Questions That Empower”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 2 “The Questions That Empower”

Meditative Thought: Here are the questions to ask yourself daily: “How can I love more deeply?” “How can I show more compassion?” “Where can I be more of service?” “What can I do to share more love?” True empowerment comes from sharing our divine gifts. When we ask these question, the answer will be revealed to us, and when we take action, empowerment comes. When we share God, there is an energy that explodes within our hearts and we begin to radiate a vibration that inspires others.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, ask the question that empowers your soul. Take the time to contemplate and cultivate the question, “How can I serve today?” When you get the answer, be willing to step out and do it. Journal your experience and your “ah-ha!” moments, allowing your journal to be a log of your transformation.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I love more, I am more, I share more God. And so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 1 “Defining and Empowering Yourself”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 1 “Defining and Empowering Yourself”

Meditative Thought: Empowerment refers to the increasing of your spiritual, political, social, educational, gender, or economic strength. It is time to decide what empowers your existence. What motivates you to truly reach for the stars? Whatever gives you the feeling of power and strength, it is time to connect with it and make it yours. Fuel your every move with true power; divine power. There is something that lives deep within your soul that energizes your life. I call it God; you can call it whatever you like. We must learn to connect with this source and allow it to define our existence. Empowerment comes from knowing this divine presence intimately.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, set aside time to define what an empowered life looks like for you. In your journal, create a definition of empowerment and make a list of every aspect of your life that is empowering and/or needs to be empowered. Remember, all true power up-levels your existence and it comes from God. Connect with Source that lives within you; it’s the only power you need.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I celebrate God within me. I am one with great power and I can do all things in God that strengthen my life. Amen
