R&B singer Mýa does not regret practicing celibacy for seven years – in fact, she encourages it.The 44-year-old was a guest on the « Way Up with Angela Yee » show and admitted that during her celibacy period, she had the most « mental clarity. » »Just doing without, it shifted my mindset, » Mýa shared of her journey. « It was no longer a focus. The rush to be in a relationship, the rush to be married, the rush to be in something because that’s what you’re taught to do — to have kids or procreate. And I think there’s a lot of pressure on women to be able to do that. »LENNY KRAVITZ ADMITS HE’S CELIBATE AS HE WAITS FOR THE RIGHT WOMAN: ‘IT’S A SPIRITUAL THING’Mýa went on to share that self-love was important to her during this period. »Love is beautiful, and I think the world always needs more of it, but I think you must start with yourself, » she said. « And I have to start with self always, versus expecting from other sources. »She concluded with, « So it was just reconditioning. I think it’s something that was necessary because it’s a very spiritual thing. And you must be very selective if you want better results. That self-accountability started with me by shutting that part of my life off. »LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING?
