I absolutely loved Elder Jorg Klebingats talk. (Thats quite the name). The whole thing was amazing, but he spoke a little about taking care of your body by exercising and eating well. Just made me realize that Im right where I need to be as far as work goes….Helping people take care of their bodies and create a lifelong plan of health. If youre ready to start YOUR journey, let me know….we can figure out how to make it part of your life. Some of my favorite things he said: 1. Take responsibility for your own spiritual well-being. Stop blaming others or your circumstances, stop justifying and stop making excuses for why you are not fully striving to be obedient, he said. 2. Take responsibility for your own physical well-being. Decide today to begin a regular, long-term exercise program suited to your abilities, combined with a healthier diet, said Elder Klebingat. 3. Embrace voluntary, whole-hearted obedience as part of your life. Make the Church and the restored gospel your whole life, not just part of your outward or social life, he said. Spiritual confidence increases when you are truly striving, for the right reasons, to live a consecrated life, in spite of your imperfections. 4. Become really, really good at repenting thoroughly and quickly. Establish an attitude of ongoing, happy, joyful repentance, he said. Spiritual confidence increases when you voluntarily and joyfully repent of sins both small and great in real time by applying the Atonement of Jesus Christ. 5. Become really, really good at forgiving. Forgive everyone, everything all the time. Don’t hold grudges, dont be easily offended, forgive and forget quickly. Spiritual confidence increases when you know that the Lord knows that you bear no ill feelings toward another soul. 6. Accept trials, setbacks and surprises as part of your mortal experience. When trials come, the adversary will tell you that you did something wrong, that this is a punishment, that Heavenly Father doesnt love you, he said. Ignore that! Elder Klebingat said, Acknowledge and face your weaknesses, but dont be immobilized by them, because some of them will be your companions until you depart this earth life. Loved it.
