When you find the “right” place in your home, it is wise to return to that same spot each time you study and pray. So, make it a routine to return to your “special place” for private prayer, study and meditation. I have discovered the wisdom of what we read in the scriptures, “…retire to thy bed early, that ye may not be weary; arise early, that your bodies and your minds may be invigorated.” (D&C 88:124)
