Your Body: A Priceless Gift
Wouldn’t it be cool if you had a shirt that could fix itself if you tore the fabric? Or a dinner table that could mend a break in one of its legs to be better than new?
Well, the human body can do all that and more! Nothing that mankind has created even comes close to how remarkable and useful the human body is.
As a child of God, you came to earth with a physical body. This body helps you learn, grow, and progress eternally. What a blessing!
From head to toe, no matter your shape or size, your body is fantastic and inspiring!
Your body is a gift from God, so it’s important to take care of it. Here are some tips for keeping your body strong and healthy:
Keep the Word of Wisdom, including the direction to eat healthy foods.
Exercise regularly.
Pay attention to your emotions and moods. Find ways to relax and work through negative feelings, like going for a walk and talking with someone you trust.
Get enough sleep.
When you care for your body, you show Heavenly Father that you’re grateful for His priceless gift to you. You also invite the Holy Ghost into your life.
And when you take care of your amazing body, it will help you enjoy so many other amazing things throughout your life!
