Physical factors that can affect revelation

[pam]

Being able to recognize, receive and understand revelation and other promptings of the Holy Ghost is imperative to the successful completion of our mortal journey. The gospel teaches us that things like scripture study, prayer and church attendance will help us accomplish that goal. While that is 100% true, there are several other physical factors that come into play as well.

Pay careful attention to the following tips to spiritual well-being, as suggested by modern prophets and scripture:

What are your thoughts on these?

I thought I covered at least some of these points already when I quoted my stake conference.

• Diet
• Exercise
• Sleep

I realize that we don't want to wear anything immodest.  And we certainly want to do our best to be respectful and clean in our attire.  I appreciate his comment about the tuxedo.  But it is so easy for people to get the wrong impression when they hear something like this.

To that, I'd say that I wish more was said about "noise".  He mentioned the senses, but didn't really expound much.  So much of our lives prevent us from hearing a still small voice because it is filled with noise.  Audio, visual, mental, emotional...

I know his article said that the list goes on.  But I personally feel these issues are probably a larger factor than dress and grooming.

I'd say that one's perception of their dress and grooming matters a lot more than their dress and grooming does.
