Exercise is a key component in caring for your body and finding spiritual balance. Walking thirty minutes a day can help you reenergize during the day and it can help you sleep better. It is a great way to begin an exercise program, although you may need to do more if you want to lose weight.
Meditation is another key component in caring for yourself. Reading your scriptures and writing in your journal each day can help you to find the spiritual strength you need.
