It needs a meticulous understanding, inner calmness, a bunch of patience and a rigorous commitment.
On this note, I welcome you to today's edition and final gist on the subject matter. Let's go as I unveil what I've got for you. You definitely will love it.
YOUR THOUGHTS
The brain publishes the hormones that control sexual urges. Did You know?
So training your mind to quickly diffuse sexual thoughts that come into your mind is key. This is where self-awareness plays a vital role as it is only when you recognize your thoughts are gliding to sex issues that you can be able to draw away...
Altogether, don't whip yourself up for thinking about sex; it's natural - See - FORMED THIS WAY - but you must not allow it control you. You've gotta engage your mind on productive things than sex for such thoughts to disappear. This comes with practice (as you know that practice makes perfection). The more you give in to this practice, the more susceptible you become when those thoughts invade your mind. - ”Be a master of your thoughts.”
BE WORDED
”But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.” Rom 13:14.
Funny enough, sexual thoughts don't fear whether you are reading the Bible, or you are in the church and your pastor is preaching, they just crawl into your mind at will. Sounds somehow right? Na so e be - the matter tie wrapper! (on a lighter note).
This is the more reason you should be equipped with the word of God to scatter those thoughts. - ”We are transformed by the renewing of our minds.” Rom 12:2 (that's God's word). I plead that you spend quality time with the word. The sufficient intake of the word daily determines how nourished and healthy your mind will be.
And David the man after God's own heart said; ”The word of the Lord have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee.” That's a man with an understanding of God's word and who has equipped and soaked himself with the word. You too can be like David!
The word of God has the capacity to flush out that tommyrot images in the course of your day to day activity. As you consistently come before the word that your mind will be moistened and refilled with God's thoughts. - ”Be equipped with the word.”
ALCOHOL & DRUGS
If you are looking to divert your attention from sex urges, then a bottle of your favourite liquor won't give you the peace you need. Little quantity of alcohol can boost your sexual urge and alcohol contains ethanol that precipitates the hypothalamus - this is a part of the brain that is responsible for regulating hunger, hormone levels, body temperature, and our dear, libido.
You see why you don't need alcohol no matter how small it may seem because it can aggravate sexual urges. Research has it that specific scents stimulate sex urges and bizarrely enough, most of these scents are found in wine. - ”Wine is an aphrodisiac - avoid it.”
Wow, what a topic! I trust with the effective application of these 7steps to CONTROL YOUR SEXUAL URGE as we come to the end of this series.
