Yesterday at church we have a fabulous lesson by our Relief Society president Kristen Price. One part of her lesson really stuck to me, and made me think about my life and the relationship I have with my Savior. She told a story about how her brother wanted to go on a Find-A-Wife diet to get himself in the shape he wanted. He bought a book by a famous athlete (sorry I don't know what the book is) and got to reading on how he could get in his best shape. Two great pieces of advice were given in this book.
1. Choose good teammates.
This means don't work out alone. Do it with a friend or family member who will encourage you and push you to do more.
2. Create a home-court advantage.
Don't have things in your house that you don't want yourself to eat.. like Oreos. Instead surround yourself with lots of fruit and veggies for when you want a snack.
These are great pieces of advice if you want to lose weight or get in better shape, but let's think about this spiritually. I call it the Find-Your-Savior diet. These are also great ideas so get in better shape spiritually and come closer to the Savior.
1. Choose good teammates.
Surround yourself with people who uplift you. Spend time with your family, and participate in ward meetings and activities. It's much easier to live righteously if you are not doing so alone.
2. Create a home-court advantage.
We can choose what goes into our home and into our lives. We can make sure that there are not things in our lives that take us away from the spirit. What kind of television and how much do we watch? What kind of attitude so we have towards those we live with? Make sure your home is a place where you will come out the winner and grow closer to Christ.
