A BeYOUtiful Life

I apologize. I had Episode 23 loaded here by accident and didn’t know it. I have finally edited that and put the correct Episode 24 here. Genesis 3:15. A continuation on the topic of anger and the righteous use of it. Is there such a thing?

Romans 8:31, 35-39. Anger. We often feel shame when we feel anger. So what is the purpose of this emotion? Is it ok to feel it? If so, how do we manage it?

Matthew 6:25-34. Anxiety. Ugh. How can we manage this intense plague of our day through the truth of Jesus Christ? What does it mean that He will provide means, a way, and what is expedient, needful and sufficient in the moment to accomplish whatever it is we need to do, be or say?

Alma 50:4-5. Alma 49 & 50 are incredibly informative chapters in the Book of Mormon. They help us understand better why and how to do the work of rebuilding, preparing, and defending ourselves against the adversary. They show the importance of building boundaries of protection, places of security, and fortifications where Satan and the forces of the world cannot enter. We can become a happier person as we acknowledge our human weakness and vulnerability, thus our need for boundaries.

D&C 89:1-4. The Word of Wisdom is given to us, in the wisdom and love of God, as a principle with a promise of His joy as we choose to live by it. These scriptures also suggest that this is the floor, “adapted to the capacity of the weak and the weakest of all saints.” I believe this means we need to build on what He’s given and, through His wisdom, develop our own personal word of wisdom as boundaries of protection to keep us safe from the evils of the world and help us be our truest and happiest selves.  

Mosiah 4:26-27. We are not meant or required to run faster than we have strength. The truth is we can’t give of that which we don’t have. If our motive for self-care is to fuel ourselves so we can go for the Lord, then the greater joy the Lord promises will be ours. 

Helaman 5:12. Remember remember. Why is remembering so important? What about these other words? Return. Repent. Restore. Reconcile. Reclaim. Renew. Rejuvenate. Refuel. Refill. What do all of these words have in common? What truth can we learn from understanding a deeper root meaning in these words?

Luke 2:52. In order for something to grow, it requires care and nurturing in the ways it needs. This scripture tells me that even Jesus needed care in order to increase and grow in all the areas of His creation. In this episode, we break down self-care into an understandable framework so that you can create your own daily, weekly, monthly self-care strategy. 

D&C 123: 16-17. What does “being kept workways” teach us about self-care in the Lord’s way? This is another beautiful scriptural phrase we can look at to help us understand the divine importance of taking care of our creation.
