DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 5 “Higher Communication”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 5 “Higher Communication”

Today’s Body Connection:  What is the body?  This is the question that we must answer and remember on a daily basis.  The body is a temple for your spirit.  We must come to the realization that we are more than just bones and muscles and that our purpose expands far beyond what we can see.  When we truly know who and what we are, transformation becomes a priority.  We must take care of our body-temple so that we may do the work that we have said yes to.  The practice of good stewardship of this gift called life is a sacred act; let’s not take it lightly.

 

 

Meditative Thought: When is a good time for prayer?  Prayer is our communication with our inner spirit, our time with God.  Prayer is our anchor in the rocky sea of life.  Our spiritual work should be centered on praying without ceasing.  It’s not easy, but it will expand or consciousness.  Because we are one with the Universe we have a choice about how we approach every situation.  We can show up as the Divine, and speak the words that affirm that connection.  Remember, you are God speaking to God, words from God, to God.  It’s about your awareness.  Every moment can be a moment of constant communication with Spirit.

 

Today’s Action Plan:  Today, let’s be mindful of what we say, how we say it, and to whom we are saying it.  Be in constant prayer.  Speak words that uplift vibrations.  Take the time to meditate on your experience.  See what new insights arise for you.

Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, I speak only words that uplift my mind, body, and spirit.  And so it is.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 4 “Freedom”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 4 “Freedom”

Today’s Body Connection:  The reason for exercising the body is to activate freedom within our lives.  When the body hinders us, our “dis-ease” is all we think about.  When de-condition is the way of life, it has a way of dimensioning our hope.  Allow your physical practice the opportunity to improve your quality of life.  You are worth it.  The goal is always to feel better.  Today set the intention to improve your life with a strong physical practice.

Meditative Thought: Affirmative Prayer is the practice of freedom.  When we speak an affirmation or affirmative prayer we choose to co-creation with the Universe.  When we speak with authority we begin to lose the chains of bondage.  Praying to a God outside of us, hoping that a blessing will come…is powerless.  When we realize our oneness with the Universe, we empower our lives.  Affirmative Prayer is the knowing that you have everything you need and that you’re free to live your fullest life.

Today’s Action Plan:  Today, pray to a God that lives within you.   Speak to Spirit like you would to an old friend, because it is.  The Universe has been with you since before time, and it will never leave you.

Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, I pray to God that lives within me.  I am one with infinite Spirit.  I allow my prayers to activate Divine inspiration in my life.  And so it is.  Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 3 “Affirmative Language in Use”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 3 “Affirmative Language in Use”

Today’s Body Connection:  When you work out, what is the language you use?  What words fuel your workout?  “Yes I can” or “Oh no, not again”?  Our language and thoughts coagulate into our existence; we must be aware of what we say as we work out.   Our words can either assist us or block us from our goals.  The practice is not only to work the body, but we must also be willing to empower the workout with a strong mental and verbal practice.  As we speak words that empower, we will see a shift and the body will move with grace and power like never before.

Meditative Thought: Why Affirmative Prayer?  Prayer is our spiritual thoughts, and thoughts create our existence.  If we believe that The Universe is out to get us, then that becomes our truth.  If we declare our separation from The Divine and live as a victim, we deem ourselves as powerless.  Affirmative prayer is a tool to shift our consciousness from victim to Victor.  Prayer is a way to return our mind and our thinking back to God.  The prodigal son only remains the prodigal son as long as he wants.  He always had the power to return home.  Prayer is our road map home.

Today’s Action Plan:  Today, consciously release the victim mentality and begin living life as a victory.  At the end of your day, take time to journal your experience.

Affirmation:  Just for this moment… just for this breath, I pray to shift.  I am a Victor and I release the victim.  And so I am.  And so I let it be.  Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 1 “Creating a Practice”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS:  30 Days of Faith, Hope, Prayer, and Gratitude – Day 1 “Creating a Practice”

Today’s Body Connection:  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 we begin to move our body we activate a spirit of hope.  Every time we say yes to fitness, everything else becomes a reflection of the practice.  Walk, run, dance, weight train, it does not matter; get moving and watch your life unfold to greatness.

Meditative Thought:  Do something for 30 days and the practice becomes embedded in your consciousness.  I invite you to take part in the next 30 Days of faith, hope, prayer, and gratitude to help transform your body, mind, and spirit.   Join me on a 30-day journey exploring the practices that empower your life, experiencing prayer, meditation, affirmations, and a commitment to physical activity.  It doesn’t matter what you believe; just know that there is one universal force that expresses itself in so many ways.  The next 30 days focus on the space we practice from, not who we practice to. Make a commitment to pray for your family and friends, and be grateful for the people in your life.  I believe that the practice is the spiritual answer to every problem.

Today’s Action Plan:  Today, take all your cares and worries to prayer.  The outcome will amaze you.  Write a letter to God. Tell the Universe about what ails you.  Now imagine a God bigger than your problems.

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

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 26 – “Determination and Tenacity”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 26 – “Determination and Tenacity”

Today’s Body Connection:  One of the great challenges while transforming the body-temple is staying with and adhering to the required program.  Your determination to complete the goal requires “staying power.”  You will always come to a fitness crossroad; your choices are to keep going or to give up.  Your tenacity and persistence is the key.  You cannot win if you are not in.  You must stay in the game.  That old saying rings true: “Quitters never win and winners never quit.”  To put a new spin on it, “You can’t win a game if you don’t play.”  Trust me, it’s one of the hardest challenges of your life, but transforming your body-temple from unhealthy to healthy is the most fulfilling goal you will ever achieve.

Today’s Meditative Thought: True and deep transformation requires determination and tenacity to see God’s plan come to fruition.  You are the divine vision in living form.  The shift will happen if you don’t give up.  Be determined to stay in the race.  We all have great insights, but when we cease the work that is required, or we don’t see change right away, we shelve our dreams and move on.

Today’s Action Plan:  Today, be determined; continue to allow your transformation to come forth.  Stick with it no matter what.  Find an accountability partner who will stand with you no matter what, even when you don’t want to continue.  Once you have connected with your partner, make the commitment to stand with them.

Today’s Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am determined and filled with divine tenacity to see my transformation come to life.  Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 25 – “Dedicated to the Practice”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 25 – “Dedicated to the Practice”

Today’s Body Connection:  As you train the body-temple, focus on staying dedicated for the present moment you are in.  Commitment is required, but for the moment.  On your runs, stay dedicated for one breath and one stride at a time. During your strength training, commit to one single repetition at a time during the set.  During yoga, devote yourself to the one pose you are experiencing.  So do not worry about any exercise outside of the present.  Your power comes from the NOW, not the future or the past.  Be mind of where you are and what you are doing.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Transformation requires dedication, but we must commit to only one breath at a time.  Be dedicated to the practice just for today, one moment, and even one breath at a time.  You can’t run before you crawl, and transformation is an endurance race, not a sprint.  Dedication is being present and awake to the moment you are in.  Then, before you know it, you have shifted your whole existence.

Today’s Action Plan:  Today, be present to the moment you are in.  Dedicate to the breath you are taking and have faith that you are in the midst of your transformation.

Today’s Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am a living dedication to my transformation.  I surrender to God and allow the blessing to be my everyday way of life.  Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 18 – Open to New Things”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 18 – Open to New Things”

Today’s Body Connection:  The body transformation requires you to be open to new practices.  Your old paradigms have brought you to this desire to shift, but you cannot do it while dwelling on the past.  When we say yes to transformation we must be willing to shift the way we did things in the past.  It is your willingness to change your way of being that will allow you to grow. When you are willing to sacrifice your old habits, you begin to make room for new life expressing itself as you.

Today’s Meditative Thought:  During your transformation, be open to new and wonderful experiences.  The shift will bring forth exciting opportunities to see things differently.  The Universe will become new and Ah-ha moments will be the norm.  You eyes will be opened, and you will never see the world like you used to.

Today’s Action Plan:  Today, invite yourself to set aside everything you think you know so that you may have a new experience. Stay open to new and wonderful ways to connect with God.

Today’s Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am open to a new way of living.  I surrender to God and allow blessings to cushion my footsteps.  And so it is.

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 16 – “Faith Is the Key”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 16 – “Faith Is the Key”

Today’s Body Connection:  Today, have faith that your transformation is happening.  Do not go by your external appearance; you may be the last to notice the changes in your body.  Everything you do accumulates; every walk, run, and/or yoga class adds to your fitness bank account.  When you lift weights, have faith that you are getting stronger.  When you jump on the elliptical machine, know that your cardiovascular condition is improving.  During yoga trust, you are on a personal journey to higher consciousness.  All physical transformation begins with some small leap of faith that a change can happen.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Faith is the key during your transformation.  You might not see the change you desire or the life you want right away, but have faith; your transformation is happening.  Turn all your concerns and worries over to God and allow the Universe to do its thing.  Have faith in God, have faith in Love, have faith in faith, and have faith in yourself.  This is your time to transform and co-create with God the life you are meant to live.

Today’s Action Plan:  Today, have faith as you transform your life.  Create a mantra that anchors your faith!  Every hour on the hour, use the mantra to remind yourself of the journey you have said yes to.  Take a breath, slow down, and remember.

Today’s Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, I stand in my faith that my transformation is happening now.  And so it is.  Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 13 – “Becoming Your Authentic Self”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 13 – “Becoming Your Authentic Self”

Today’s Body Connection:  Transforming the Body-Temple means becoming your authentic self.  Our birthright is to be full of light, living a healthy life, expressing wholeness, and vibrant.  We are created in the image of perfection; therefore we should live a life that reflects perfection. I’m not talking about the surface idea of perfection, the external appearance of how we look, act, or behave.  I am speaking of the divine presence of God that lives within our souls.  When we approach the physical practice for the sole purpose of expressing our spiritual perfection, we become our authentic self; we live the real life we are meant to live.

Today’s Meditative Thought: To become more of your authentic self requires a connection with God.  Cultivate your oneness consciousness with meditation.  It is in the stillness that we know we are one with Spirit.

Today’s Action Plan:  Today, sit in the stillness until you know you are one with God and that everything will be okay.  Today, ask God to show you your authentic self and begin to live it.

Affirmation:  Just for this moment… just for this breath, I embrace God and I live my authentic life.  Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 9 – “Say Yes”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 9 – “Say Yes”

Today’s Body Connection:  Say yes to mindful eating.  When we are aware of what we put into our bodies, we take responsibility for our transformation.   Let’s change our language about food and how we look at food. Dieting is out, mindful eating is in.  A diet is restrictive and full of limitations, but mindful eating is filled with a vibration of infinite possibilities.  When you say yes to committing to eating food with a higher nutritional value, you will function better and you will feel better.  You will be better.  Our body-temple practice is about being more of who we truly are.  Eating is something that we cannot give up, but we can always be more aware of what we eat.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Transformation is saying yes to the divine qualities of God.  Ask yourself, “What qualities am I bringing today?” and be willing to show that quality.  When you see a lack of compassion, be willing to be compassionate.  When you see an appearance of need, give the gift of giving.  When we say yes, everything happens because of that yes.

Today’s Action Plan:  Today, allow love, joy, peace, oneness, abundance, and prosperity to be your Personal Law.

Today’s Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, I say yes to the divine qualities of life.  I am God expressing itself as me.  And so it is.  Amen
