| SIX
BASIC STEPS TO SEXUAL ABSTINENCE |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 1 |
Dress
appropriately. The way you dress sends messages to others
even when you don't intend to. Guys are especially affected
because they are designed to be sexually stimulated
by what they see. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 2 |
Don't
do drugs or alcohol. Drugs and alcohol cloud your decision-making
ability and lower your resistance to say no. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 3 |
|
|
|
| Don't
spend long periods of time alone together. Date wisely...
that is; avoid long periods of time alone together because
it can lead to too much physical contact too soon. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 4 |
Go
out with people with similar goals. Be friendly with
everyone, but having close relationships with people
who have similiar values and goals makes it easier keep
your value system. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 5 |
Recognize
your love need and what it means. Knowing and understanding
your vulnerable areas will protect you from making some
serious mistakes. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6 |
|
|
|
Set
your standard high and set it before the heat is on.
Decide now why you want to be a virgin and stick to
it. |
|

SINGLE LADY’S PLEDGE |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| WATCH
YOUR THOUGHTS |
|
|
|
| Your
thoughts become words.. your words become actions… your
actions become habits … your habbits become character…
your character becomes your destiny! |
|
|
|
YOU
MAKE YOUR LIFE WHAT IT IS….. |
|
|
|
YOUR
BEHAVIOUR IS NOT CAUSED BY WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU. |
|
|
|
YOU
BEHAVIOURS IS CAUSED BY WHAT GOES ON IN YOUR HEAD, THROUGH
YOUR ACTIONS AND EACH OF YOUR DECISIONS. |
|
|
|
If
you allow someone to change your mind or to provoke you
… that someone ….. not you ……. Is
in control of your life. |
