This past week has been a bit of an adventure for me. I have attempted two very different life style changes. This first is called the Uberman sleep cycle. It is a type a sleep where you take 6 - 30 minute naps throughout the day without sleeping through the night. Your body eventually forces itself into REM sleep as soon as you fall asleep for one of your naps. Once your body adjusts, you are getting as much REM sleep as anyone else, only you have 6 extra hours every day. Needless to say, my body struggled with the conversion. I didn't last 2 days! I will give it another shot sometime though!
The next thing I tried was fasting. Now the bible points out 2 types of fast: For decision and for discipline. I was attempting a discipline fast. The male students and I have been looking into sexual purity and what it means to keep sex off the mind. I didn't realize how much fasting showed me about sexual purity till I tried it. During my time of fast, I realized how much we think about food. Naturally, when I think of Dominos, I will order it. Or if I want some ice cream, I will get some. It was a struggle staying away from food! But I also realized that we men think about women nearly as much as food! I read somewhere once that a man thinks about a woman every 2.5 seconds on average. 2.5 seconds! We are basically inhaling too much sex! just like when you eat to much you become obese, when you think about women too much you are going to become a pervert. I learned from fasting we must tame our minds and eyes to avoid gluttony of sex.
I found this on the internet and thought it was funny
