DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 28 – “It Takes Time”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 28 – “It Takes Time”

Today’s Body Connection: When you want to shift your body, remember that it takes time. Question: How long did it take you to get in poor condition? There are no overnight solutions. Be patient as you transform your body-temple. Sometimes it takes longer than we want to allow time for. Allow yourself a realistic time goal. Transformation takes as much time as it needs; it cannot be rushed. Breathe and let go of your time expectations. It will happen in its divine time.

Today’s Meditative Thought: It takes time to transform your consciousness. There are levels of awakening; the journey is filled with many facets. There is the Ah-ha moment, the realization that change is needed. Then comes the level of deep contemplation, when we ask the question: How can I apply this new thought to my life? Next come the action plan, the practice, and beginning to do what is required for the change to happen. The last level is the being, the “yin of transformation.” We become the shift and we live the transformation.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, walk through each level and know this is about the journey; there is no destination. It takes time for a lasting transformation to happen.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I embrace every level of the transformation. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 27 – “Transformation Is Growth”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 27 – “Transformation Is Growth”

Today’s Body Connection: Remember, we are on this path to grow. When we speak of transformation, we speak of being better and more of our authentic self, and that require growth. Whenever you say yes to being better, there is always a time of “stirring up the pot,” or what is known as a “growth edge.” Transformation can sometimes feel like an agitation of the soul, an uncomfortable space that we would like to run from. We need to hold tight, stand firm, and allow the growth to happen. Transformation of the body can be one of the must uncomfortable experiences, but remember, physical challenges will lead to a breakthrough.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Transformation is about growth, being more than you ever thought you could be. When we truly shift our conscious thoughts, we become stronger, more anchored in infinite possibilities. Our willingness to grow and be more is the key. Your yes is the key that opens the door of life. Your consent to be more is your gateway to success.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, begin your transformation with a big, fat Yes.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I say a big, fat yes to growth. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 23 – “Remembering”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 23 – “Remembering”

Today’s Body Connection: Every workout is a time to remember who and who’s you are. Our life is a dance of forgetting and remembering our power. The physical practice is always a tool for remembering, if we set the intention. When you do cardiovascular training, remember your capacity to breathe. When you lift weights, remind yourself of the never-ending strength that lives within your soul. When you take a Pilates class or train your core, remind yourself that a strong foundation is needed to build your life. And our yoga practice is a reminder to be more flexible in our lives. Our physical practice reminds us of the spiritual journey we have said yes to. It is all connected!

Today’s Meditative Thought: Transformation is the journey of remembering who and who’s you are. Today, remember that you are divine and fine. There is only one thing to change, your consciousness and that is everything.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, transform the way you see yourself; be still and remember. Mindfully move through your day with only empowering thoughts. Whenever you think of your body-temple, bless it with love. This might be a challenge at first but you can do it. Set the intention to remember to be kind and love to your self.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember to remember. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 15 – “Stand Up”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 15 – “Stand Up”

Today’s Body Connection: It is time to draw the line: what do you stand for? Becoming our authentic self is our greatest challenge but is also our greatest achievement. When we decide our life’s path, we must be willing to live it. This past summer, I got the opportunity to teach children’s fitness at my spiritual community, one the greatest honors of my life. I got the opportunity to talk to the kids about being healthy and active everyday. During a game of soccer, I had an Aha moment about the reason I was running around like a teenager. I heard my inner voice say, “This is who I am.” It was not referring to me playing like a child, but about being active for the rest of my life. Today, draw the line and cross it. Stand up and be counted for your healthy life.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Stand up and be counted for something. You are not going through a transformation to be passive. This change is to elevate the planet. This work you have said yes to is not for naught. It is to up-level the consciousness of the people around you. As you are lifted, men, women, and children will follow.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, allow your health and fitness to shine so all people may see it. Be lifted up to a new horizon. Set the intention to stand for your life. During your training, remind yourself that you’re doing this because you are worthy. Before you make a decision, ask yourself, “Would my high self make this choice?” Connect with your commitment and stay accountable with your higher vibration.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I stand for God as I up-level my consciousness. 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 11 – “Be Clear”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 11 – “Be Clear”

Today’s Body Connection: When we choose to transform the body-temple, we must be clear about our intentions. What is it that you want? I invite you to be clear about the intention. Sometimes we say, “I just want to get into my skinny jeans,” but it is more than that. Go deeper. Go beyond the surface. Dropping a dress size would be great, but what does that really mean? If you loose the weight, you will feel better, you will be able to do the things you have come to this planet to do. If you embrace a healthy way of life, you will be more productive and active. Reducing your blood pressure means you can spend more time enjoying life and less time taking medication to sustain life. Connect with the “underneath vibration” of the intention for transforming your body-temple.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Be clear about what it is you want. Transformation requires clarity. When you are in the midst of a shift, your intention will see you through. There are challenges and there are bumpy roads, but if you are focused, you can make it through anything. Change requires ‘work-play’, but it is worth it

Today’s Action Plan: Today, set your intention for the transformation you desire, and have faith it will be done. Then actively let it go and let the universe take over. Take a breath and say, “I release and I let go.” Journal about the release process and any insights you might have.

Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment… just for this breath, I set the intention to transform into what I am meant to be. And so it is. Amen

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 10 – “The Jumpstart”

DAILY TRANSFORMATIONAL NUGGETS FOR THE BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT: Transformation – Day 10 – “The Jumpstart”

Today’s Body Connection: The fitness “jumpstart” is that surge of energy you get before you start your practice. Truth be told, it is the up-leveling of your vibration, fueled with your intention. It is the moment you have agreed to get out of bed and exercise. It is the moment you choose an apple over a candy bar. It is that second you become aware that your transformation is about the inside and how you feel. Your “jumpstart” is the moment you say yes to allowing yourself to be whole and complete.

Today’s Meditative Thought: Transformation can be empowered with your words, thoughts, and language. Use affirmations like, “I can,” “I will,” and “I am able,” to jumpstart your life. Our mental enthusiasm will fuel all our intentions.

Today’s Action Plan: Today, speak only words that up-level your transformation. Consciously move through your day with the awareness that your language coagulates into your existence. Be aware of each time you feel that surge of energy, the moment you know you have committed to your yes. Acknowledge your moments of awakening.

Affirmation: Just for this moment… just for this breath, I jumpstart my transformation with the power of Love. Amen

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
