DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 7 – “Peace”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 7 – “Peace”

Today’s Body Connection: Today is the day we connect with the peace of transformation. When a training session is uncomfortable, we must look for the peace. When a yoga pose feels unachievable, stop fighting and make peace with it. When you are only halfway through your cardio workout and you want to give up, embrace the second half with an attitude of Love. When we make peace with our thoughts, our body will listen. When we accept the test, we will transcend any and all challenges.

Today’s Meditative Thought: “Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.” — Song Lyrics by Jill Jackson/Mark Miller, 1955

The answer to war is always Love, and it begins with loving yourself. Once you begin to truly love you, then you are free to love others and that will transform the planet. We cannot fight war or terrorism with more violence. This radical transformation requires a new way of operating. Today, pray for peace and begin to love yourself. This is the “vibrational” shift that is required.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, make peace with yourself. Identify within yourself what it is you are fighting, and make peace with it. This does not mean to give up and simply accept it; on the contrary, it means to let go of the attachment to a certain outcome, to release the control of how it needs to look. This includes the way you look in your jeans.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I live above the battlefield of conflict and I activate the power of peace within my life. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 4 – “Love What We Do”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 4 – “Love What We Do”

Today’s Body Connection: Transformation of the body must come from a place of love. When we choose to change physically, the decision must be aligned with a higher vibration. Sometimes our motivation is fear-based. We might have a health scare, or a family member might interrupt our life patterns with an intervention. The wake up call serve a purpose, but somewhere down the road there needs to be a shift in our intention. There must be a place within us that is energized with self-love. Starting a physical practice can be the hardest thing we ever do, but we know it can also be the most rewarding. Once we tap into that Love space, we will begin to love the workout.

Today’s Meditative Thought: “We must pray to Love what we do.” — Walter Russell

There comes a time in our life that we must get up and move; change is required for the job, relationship, or living situation. But sometimes we do not have the luxury to leave the situation we are in. Instead of praying for a change, pray to love what you are doing and where you have been called to be. Allow God to reveal the love that you cannot see at the present moment.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, pray to see the miracles. Ask your higher self to show you what you are not seeing.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment… just for this breath, I am the love light in my workplace, and I set myself free to be the vision for all to see. And so it is. 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 13 – “You Can Do Anything ”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 13 – “You Can Do Anything ”

Today’s Body Connection: Remember, dedication and consistency is key when transforming the body-temple. We must stay the course even when we don’t feel like it. On the days you just don’t feel like exercising the body, connect with your spiritual strength to get your motor going. Your transformation can only happen through God; lean on your inner power and allow it to carry you through the shift. There is nothing you cannot do when you are aware of your connection to the Divine. Twenty, 30 or even 50 pounds is nothing to Universe, so make God bigger than your transformation.

Today’s Meditative Thought: You have the power within you to heal the sick, build a bridge, feed the hungry, and grow a garden. You name it and you can do it. You can even move a mountain. Think about it; there is nothing you can’t do, so go and do it. You and the Father are one. I love Nike because the company’s slogan reminds us to just do it.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember there is nothing you cannot do with the power of God. Today, say yes to at least two things that you are afraid of.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember that I can do greater things in God than I have ever done before. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 12 – “It’s Already Within You ”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: “Remember” Day 12 – “It’s Already Within You ”

Today’s Body Connection: Have you ever said to yourself, “I will do that when I get healthier” or “I will take that dance class when I lose 15 pounds” ? Remember, the road to failure is paved with good intentions. One of the greatest challenges for transformation is procrastination. You can’t circle “one day” on the calendar. What are you waiting for? Health and fitness is already within you. Our birthright is to live a life that is vigorous and full of vitality. You have the power within you to do everything you set your mind to; it’s time to move your feet. Today, the waiting game stops. Understand that everything you are reaching for is already inside you; every goal and intention can only be fulfilled by understanding that you already have everything you need. You and your connection to God is the answer. Train as if you are already at your ideal body weight. Dance as if you have already dropped 15 pounds. Move with the mindset, “It is already done.”

Today’s Meditative Thought: When God created you; God poured every divine quality into you, leaving nothing out. You are a masterpiece, God’s divine idea. The Universe loves you so much that it created you, empowered you, and set you free to be you. Allow God to show up as your perfect self. Stop apologizing for being who you are. Celebrate your uniqueness; only you can do you, so do it big. Remember, everything you need is already in you.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, remember that everything is within you. You are missing nothing. Turn within to find your way. Spend time in meditation to allow your divine self to show up as you. Today is the day you stop waiting and begin doing everything that is on your “One Day” list.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember that I have everything that I need. 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

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
