Princess Process

“If you do your best, it will all work out. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. … If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers” -Gordon B. Hinckley

“But even though we may feel lost in the midst of our current circumstances, God promises the hope of His light—He promises to illuminate the way before us and show us the way out of darkness. …with Christ, darkness cannot succeed. Darkness will not gain victory over the light of Christ. The very moment you begin to seek your Heavenly Father, in that moment, the hope of His light will begin to awaken, enliven, and ennoble your soul.The darkness may not dissipate all at once, but as surely as night always gives way to dawn, the light will come.” Dieter F. Uchtdorf

The Princess Process was inspired by my Mom, Mary Lou Allman. She passed away Sept. 6th, 2019. As one of my greatest teachers, she taught me to love myself as I am and to not only find divinity within, but to honor and celebrate it. I’m grateful for her example of loving and serving everyone around her, in a Christ-like way, every day. I miss her desperately. However, as I post these pictures that perfectly capture her cheerful personality, they remind me to honor her by serving as she did and strive to obtain her bright and happy countenance. I’m reminded to keep an eternal perspective in my heart, and that we’ll be reunited one day. Of that, I’m certain! Thanks, Mom, for teaching me that I’m a daughter of God, and fro bringing out the Princess in me. 👑

As a daughter of God, a princess, “You have the right to draw liberally upon the Savior’s power.” Henry B. Eyring

Make a list of positive affirmations for yourself. At the Princess Process we call this list our “Words of Truth.” You might start with only a few statements. Continue to build your list. Say it loud, say it proud and repeat your list often!

Be true to your authentic self when making decisions. “When you are struggling to decide how to handle a life challenge, try looking at it from a bigger perspective. Look beyond the personalities and the problem, and ask yourself who do I want to be in the universe? To help make behavior choices that are in line with your authentic self.” Lisa M. Schab

“As Jesus Christ’s faithful disciple, you can receive personal revelation, consistent with his commandments, that is tailored to you.” Michelle Craig

Joyful January! “Gratitude is a feeling of appreciation and thankfulness for blessings or benefits we have received. As we cultivate a grateful attitude, we are more likely to be happy and spiritually strong. Sometimes it is hard for us to see the multitude of blessings around us when everything feels like a heavy, sad, struggle. Try to find something even if it is the fact that you opened your eyes today. We can (and should) regularly express our gratitude to God for the blessings He gives us and to others for the kind acts they do for us. What a blessing!! Gratitude is an uplifting attitude. People are generally happier when they have gratitude in their hearts. “We cannot be bitter, resentful, or mean-spirited when we are grateful.”

You are infinitely unique “Healthy self-esteem is not contingent on comparisons. It exists no matter what other people are achieving or not achieving. Healthy self-esteem can grow stronger when we stop comparing our unique selves to other people.” Lisa M. Schab, LCSW

Remember you are a princess.  Take time daily to remember who you are. “We must deliberately take time each day to disconnect fro the world and connect with heaven.” Stephen W. Owen

“Conviction is a strong belief and certitude. When you believe deeply in yourself and your goals, you can gain the strength to get through challenges, to follow your dreams, and to remain true to yourself.” Lisa M. Schab, LCSW
