:: P L E A S U R E : :
Who’s with me when I say, “it’s time to lighten up and experience some friggin pleasure!” Yep, I didn’t think I was alone in this sentiment. Pleasure is an experience I am pouring myself into in 2020! I have spent the past two years deep on the spiritual path, building my business empire, consistently in service to my community and my family and now……to be quite literal……I’m ready to lay on my back and RECEIVE!
Okay….so maybe not totally on my back but I am ready to start letting in more pleasure on ALL levels of life! I am speaking from a female perspective so I’m curious if you women can relate to feeling overly masculine in your pursuit for success and happiness? And brothers, I’m sure this idea is not new to you either. Being an entrepreneur is very exciting but i’ve noticed how it has brought out my masculinity like it’s going out of style. It is time to melt back into my feminine power which at it’s very core, is PLEASURE! Say what?
Pleasure literally means: : a feeling of happiness, enjoyment, or satisfaction : a pleasant or pleasing feeling. : activity that is done for enjoyment. : something or someone that causes a feeling of happiness, enjoyment, or satisfaction.
Now this sounds good! So how do we get more of this!!? It starts with a COMMITMENT to recognize, create, and most importantly, to RECEIVE IT. The commitment is the first part. Otherwise we can totally miss it, swallowed by the monotony and mundane of our every day life. A commitment is like setting down a fresh set of tracks. A declaration to the universe. “I am ready to recognize, create and receive more pleasure!” Go ahead and give that declaration a try. I’ll pause while you try it on. Say it out loud. Say it like you mean it!
Okay. Now that the commitment has been declared, the simplest way to experience pleasure is to RECOGNIZE that it is all around us. It is in the sunny day in the middle of winter, it’s in that first cup of coffee or tea in the morning, it’s in the soft pet of your cat or the wagging tail of your dog. It’s your child’s laughter, it’s in art, it’s in your friends, your community. It’s all around us!! The first and easiest path to pleasure is to shift your perception and awaken to the tapestry of pleasure all around you! The more we stop and recognize pleasure, the more and more we will begin to experience it. Simple truth.
So let’s have more yeah? The next phase to declaring more pleasure is to prioritize CREATING it! Your imagination is the limit here. We are creatures of habit and patterns. We spend most of our time doing the exact same variation of things each day. And for many of us, Pleasure is a luxury instead of an every day launch pad. We must practice creating this a little everyday until it has worked it’s way into our habit. Lets be habitual creatures of Pleasure!
Creating Pleasure means feeding yourself foods that make you feel alive, nourished and energized. It means taking care of you body, spending time with friends regularly, dancing and doing what you love. Get outside and connect with nature, commit to your sexuality and find new pleasurable ways to explore it. Start your morning with pleasure by moving your body, meditating, dip into something you love right off the bat. Even if only for 15 min! Starting your day with pleasure is a smart way to set your day on the right track and in the right mindset to recognize it all around you,
Lastly, and this is such an important part of the puzzle. Commit to receiving pleasure! It’s hard to wrap our heads around the fact that we actually block ourselves from receiving what we want the most. But we do. Due to our patterns, our self doubt, our lack of self worth, our imbalanced priorities, some of us have become down right oblivious to the thought of receiving pleasure. So let’s do this. Right now, pause and say out loud three times, “ I commit to receiving pleasure daily, I commit to receiving pleasure daily, I commit to receiving pleasure daily!”. Now, if you’re really serious and committed, do this one more time but as you say the words, actually summon up the EMOTION of pleasure. In fact think of the most pleasurable thing ever and as you say the words, feel as though you are already experiencing that thing. Thought and words combined with an emotion are the most powerful tools of manifestation known to us. I’ll pause while you do this. Yes, the process starts right now. In fact everything starts right now. This moment is the first moment on your path to more pleasure. So say it like you mean it! “ I commit to receiving pleasure daily!”
RECOGNIZE - CREATE - RECEIVE
These are our building blocks to feeling more alive, more juiced up, more attractive, more playful, more lighthearted, more sexy, and downright more magnificent!
