Self Denial For A Better Health Condition
I almost didn't write for this, not because it isn't a great topic but it reminded me of days I can only wish never happened. Even though I've learned better and I'm very well now unlike back then, I still wish all that never happened. It is one of those experiences one would say "If I had known better" but also that experience that teaches more about self love because I learnt that first.
Self denial is not fun at all... No fun in it but one thing is sure, it has to be for a good cause.

I've gone through a series of self denial both physically, spiritually and emotionally. All of which has been for my good in one way or the other but I can't think of any that I am being forced to do aside the one time I was diagnosed to have ulcer and had to deny myself of some kind of foods to eat. It was hellish for me who was rarely selective of food.
Not that the money wasn't available to get what I wanted, not that I wasn't in the mood to have what I want, I just couldn't and I had to cope with that for a really long time for the sake of my health. That alone taught me a whole lot of lessons I don't think I'll ever forget.
The truth is, I could have been able to refuse the self denial thing and bear with it's aftermath but I knew I wasn't living for myself alone and others around me wouldn't want to see me go through pains that I could have been able to avoid.
I'm not the strongest in health condition, no thanks to my lifestyle before now. The lifestyle of being inattentive towards my own self and living life just as it comes with no much discipline regarding how it would affect my health.
The year of my self denial wasn't easy, like I said, it's no fun at all as I had to battle with my cravings and sometimes I'm very tempted to almost giving up on the denial but I got through it as strong as I could and today, I'm living much better with almost no issues regarding the health condition (ulcer) from back then.
Another thing I had to face during every self denial phase I go through is the feeling of doubt. I tend to doubt the effect of my efforts to deny myself of things especially when I know I'll enjoy them or they could actually turn out to be good for me. The fact is, I try harder not to think negatively of my efforts to my self denial.
But then again, as I've said, those phases has helped build my self confidence and the heart to love myself more than I did before. I'm one of those who wouldn't care much about myself so long others around me are good to the best of my ability but those phases helped me keep a balance in caring for myself and for others as well.
Self denial is not fun but it is worth doing if you think it is
You're right because sometimes life just happens, and situations arise and the only thing we can do is to deny ourselves of something before we can be able to get out of the situation.
That is it, thanks for stopping by
I always say this, only a healthy man can make wealth. That Ulcer is a kind that needs serious attention. Am glad you handled this and please always eat as at when dear friend.
Remember I do care
I appreciate dear, I will always try to 😊
I was also diagnosed of having ulcer sometime ago, it was not easy and it's hellish just like you've described it. But through self denial am getting better, it's been awhile I got disturbed by it again since I now do the needful.
That's the way o
After self denial, it gets easier 🥲
I hope it goes away from us totally.
Yeah I hope so too. ✌️
Yay! 🤗

I am glad you are doing a lot better compared to before, the self denial thing is not really easy at all.
My dear, it really isn't o
But I'm glad I've come this far with it
Temptation can make you slack in terms of self denial, but when you know what you want, you have to ignore such temptation and move on. To be sincere, it is not easy to pass through self denial, but then one has to in other to achieve something greater.
The temptations never make self denial easy but it is worth it.
Thanks for stopping by dear
I never had any health issues and I was always fit most of the time in my life. So I never need to deny myself for the food-taking habit. But I can understand it's one of the hard tasks for one and I have seen many people do it. Someone can do it well and someone can't.
Yeah, I am one of those who can't but I had to for my health 🥲
Uhn uhn. My little baibe. Self denial isn't easy but seeing how you stood strong despite it all is beautiful. Daalu...

Well it’s hard to deny for things for cravings even if you are ỉn diseased state but when you learn so
You not only get your disorder treated but also adopt a habit of control and keadung a healthy life style
That's right, the habit kinda stays even after the illness is treated 😅
denying one self of pleasure to attain a new height of mastery is something only the strong can do. But babe, health is the most important in this life. Eat well and the rest come after
Indeed, I got that!
Thanks Fash 😊
It is indeed not fun.
I read Kene's perspective yesterday. We have unlimited desires, but the resources to get them are limited and that's where self-denial comes in..
In such a situation, one has to take a closer look at things, see what the needs are, and then go from there.
But if the resources are available, it's fine to go for it.
It's good to see how you came out stronger and are doing even better than before.

Yeah, not fun but worth it when we see the results from it.
Thanks for stopping by sis
But it's for the good cause. At least you came out as conquer, I understand this health issues cause I'm still a victim of it. But I'm glad you didn't give up and here you are. Please don't negative your health for anything. You live first to tell the story. Thanks for writing this, not everyone has the mind you have... beautiful 😍🦋
So sorry you had to go through that rough self denial stage due to the health condition you faced, I'm glad you are better and stronger now, some stages of life are just trials, we overcome them to become stronger.
#dreemerlife #dreemport transported me here🤗
Indeed my dear, we keep getting better by every denial we go through even though it's hard
Thanks for stopping by sis
