For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light”Jesus is offering us a yoke to help make our burdens easier and lighter.You are carrying many loads in your life that are causing you to feel an extra burden mentally and physically. Jesus is offering you a yoke to help carry those burdens and the yoke He is offering you is designed to carry your burdens specifically. It is intended to help you get work done that you couldn’t possibly do on your own.In this episode of the Meaningful Minutes Podcast I am sharing specific steps to help you yoke yourself to the Savior and keep pace with Him so as to accomplish all that you possibly can.Seeking Personal Revelation Journalhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/revelation Removing Roadblocks to Revelation Group Coaching program https://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/removing-roadblocks-to-revelation To put these steps into practice download the worksheet herehttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/episode-65 FREE Mini Course: Creating A Consistent Spiritual Routine https://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/creating-a-consistent-spiritual-routine-registrationYou might also enjoy these episodes from the Meaningful Minutes PodcastEpisode 44: How Your Internal Battles Block Revelationhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/episode%2044 Episode 50: The Thoughts that Prevent You From Investing in Yourself Spirituallyhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/50 Check out what other resources are available from Nikihttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.comFollow Niki on social media for more free contenthttps://www.instagram.com/nikiolsencoaching/Need a Christmas Gift for a neighbor, friend, ministering sister or coworker?

Send us a text message if you have a question you want answered on the podcast.Making decisions in your life can often feel anxiety-provoking, confusing, or overwhelming. Even small ones can sometimes make you feel that way.Making decisions is interesting because we aren’t always faced with a clear good option and bad option. Sometimes we are faced with all good options or all bad options then we can really be confused right?This can cause you to feel fearful about making the wrong decision. I see this often with the women I work with.Which makes sense, you don’t want to be out there purposefully making the wrong decision.But there is a principle at play here that makes certainty not an option. That principle is faith.President Oak’s talk: Our Strengths Can Become Our Downfall https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/ensign/1994/10/our-strengths-can-become-our-downfall?lang=eng&id=title5%2Cp16%2Cp17Join the waitlist for the Removing Roadblocks to Revelation Group Coaching programhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/removing-roadblocks-to-revelationFREE Mini Course: Creating A Consistent Spiritual Routine https://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/creating-a-consistent-spiritual-routine-registrationYou might also enjoy these episodes from the Meaningful Minutes PodcastEpisode 35: The Art of Aligning Your Will with God Through PrayerEpisode 28.

I have shared in past episodes the spiritual lessons I was learning as I prepared myself physically for the hike and now I am sharing about the hike itself.I am not an avid hiker so this was definitely out of my comfort zone and it was so worth it.We left earlier than planned, the trail was different than what we had expected, and there was an excessive heat warning. Not everything went as planned but the adventure was fun, I learned a lot, and pushed myself to do something I had never done before.Watch this episode on YOUTUBE to see all the pictures and videos!https://youtu.be/c-BLZCPtb9k FREE Mini Course: Creating A Consistent Spiritual Routine https://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/creating-a-consistent-spiritual-routine-registrationEnjoy these other episodes from my Grand Canyon preparation!Episode 45: Rim to Rim, My Spiritual Experience Part 1https://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/episode%2045 Episode 52: Rim to Rim, a Spiritual Experience Part 2.

Send us a text message if you have a question you want answered on the podcast.I am finally hiking the Rim to Rim trail of the Grand Canyon. A 24 mile 6,000 ft elevation change hike in one day. I have been preparing for months and luckily I am taking my brothers and their spouses along with me so the prep work has been fun and encouraging.If you go back and listen to these episodes, you will see that I was inspired by an amazing woman Abi Ayres that I interviewed to do this hike. When I was listening to her tell her story of the hike I clearly heard the Spirit tell me I had to do this hike.Then, as I was questioning the Spirit why I needed to do such a thing, the Spirit told me this was not a physical goal, this is a spiritual goal.Listen to today’s episode as I share more of what I am learning in my journey and download the worksheet to apply those same lessons to your life!Download today’s worksheet to track your progress.https://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/episode-59Episode 45: Rim to Rim, My Spiritual Experience Part 1https://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/episode%2045 Episode 52: Rim to Rim, a Spiritual Experience Part 2.

Send us a text message if you have a question you want answered on the podcast.Unfortunately, many people hold the idea that all hardships and trials we face are a result of sin. But that does not align with the Savior’s teachings. He taught, in John 9:3, “Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.”If we go about trying to prevent those inevitables from happening we will feel even more pain, stress, disappointment, fear, failure, and not good enough. It’s not about just sitting aside and saying ok then, I will just let bad things happen and do nothing.It’s about fortifying yourself for the future, preparing for those times to happen and what you will do.In this week’s episode I discuss specific steps we can actually take to fortify ourselves.My Spiritual Survival Course will help you implement those steps into your daily life.
