Mental Strength- Sticking to an "I will" Statement

Hello friends!

So to go along with our "Strength in September" theme, I wanted to mention mental strength and how that is just as important as physical strength in our lives. While we are focusing at Transfit on becoming physically strong through challenges such as the #tfsquatchallenge, we also feel there should be a large emphasis on mental strength.

So what exactly does mental strength look like? A great example I wanted to share with you all today is a small exercise you and your family (or roommates for all you sweet college students) can do together.

I recently read about a family who goes around the table during breakfast every morning and each of them give an "I will" statement for that day. These statements shape each individual's mind to allow them to live purposefully and intentionally for the day. At the end of the day, the family talks about what became of their "I will" statements, and what God was able to accomplish through them that day. Why is it important to vocalize these statements?

Beginning our days with an "I will" statement allows us to live intentionally. God calls us in Colossians 4:5 to "Live wisely among those.., and make the most of every opportunity." In order to truly make the most of every opportunity, we need to live our lives with an "I will" mindset. We need to seek to find opportunities to share love and encouragement and give our best in every moment of every day.

So today, I want to challenge you to set an "I will" statement. Even if it's just for the day or the week, begin to transform your mind by having an eternal mindset, living each and every day with a purpose of serving the Lord.

Sunday night I had the opportunity to try out these "I will" statements with my own family, and they loved it! Porter, Lyla, Kaitlyn and I had the best time each filling out a notecard  saying what we planned to focus on doing for the next day and the week ahead! I can't wait to see how they use these statements to accomplish their goals and begin to learn how important it is to live with intention.

““And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” Colossians 3:17”

Have a wonderful week! 

Blessings,

Caroline

My name is Valerie Langley and I’m a mindfulness and meditation life coach and manifestation mentor. I feel like I have found this amazing secret to unlock the life I have always wanted and the best part about it is it’s available to anyone and everyone!  It is my passion to share this secret with the world and that includes you. I worked as a nurse for 15 years and loved my time nursing but felt like there was something more I needed to be doing. I just wasn’t sure what that was.... when I was pregnant with our third child and knew that after she was born I was done with nursing and I didn’t know what was coming next. I had recently developed a meditation practice that had truly changed my life. I really didn’t understand what the big deal was about meditating but I figured I had nothing to lose by doing it. What I found out was when I meditate I become an open vessel to hear God’s messages and guidance for me. I had started out with 3 minutes a day and in no time was meditating for 20 minutes. I found such a sense of peace and guidance through this practice. I later incorporated visualization and manifesting into my practice and WOW did things change. I quickly realized the magnitude of how our thoughts become things. I learned to shift my perspective from negative to positive and found myself having so much gratitude for all the amazing blessings in my life. Within a year of meditating I became pregnant with our fourth child which was always a dream for me to have four healthy children. We found and bought our dream house which we thought was out of reach. We sold our current home in 5 days and had an amazing cash offer above asking price which enabled us to buy our dream house. I quit my nursing job and started a coaching business which is thriving!  I know all of this is because of my connecting to God and living in my purpose which is to help others become connected to the love and guidance available to them.

So it is my mission to teach the world the secrets I’ve learned and to tap into the infinite resources that are available to all.

I feel it is a blessing and an honor to help women by teaching them the tools and processes I have discovered to transform their lives into their dreams. I would love to work with you!
