Consider the celibacy option

By Miss Kes 

WHETHER it’s a status you willingly choose, or one you’re in because you’ve ended a relationship, celibacy can be a good thing. Here are three major reasons to consider going celibate:It makes you appreciate your body and your personalityIt forces you to connect with your soulYou redefine your self-value, self-respect and self-confidence

We tend to spend a lot of time on others and what our relationship needs to grow, but neglect our own needs. When you spend time on you, you learn to love yourself anew and even discover new things about yourself.

You will start to feel spiritually plugged in to God. This is not to say that those who are engaged in sexual relationships are sinful and wicked, but with celibacy, it forces you to be more spiritual. You will even start to find yourself thinking on a deeper level and your eyes will be open to things you never would have seen if you were in a relationship.

In spending time learning who you truly are on all dimensions, you will start to appreciate not just your body, but also what you have within to offer to a relationship and ultimately to your life. You will rediscover intricate details about who you are and this will enlighten you to foster a new relationship with yourself.
