LET’S TALK PLEASURE: It’s not just about the sex

Hey honey, Let’s dive into a topic that doesn’t get nearly enough airtime in our busy lives: pleasure.

Today, I want to spill the tea on why it’s SO important, and give you some juicy insights on how to bring more of it into your world.

So, what exactly is pleasure? Well, it’s not just about sex and orgasms (although let’s be real, that is fun too). Pleasure encompasses much more than sex. Pleasure comes from tuning into all the things that make your heart sing, your soul dance, and your whole being light up with joy.

But why is pleasure important? Well, for starters, pleasure is essential for our overall well-being. When we experience pleasure, whether through a delicious meal, a heartfelt conversation, or a moment of intimacy, our brains release a cascade of feel-good neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin. These chemicals not only make us feel happy and content but also have profound effects on our physical health, reducing stress levels, boosting immunity, and even promoting longevity.

Yes, life is busy enough without adding something else to the to do list, BUT that’s exactly why pleasure is so important. Because amongst the chaos and the craziness, tuning into pleasure is like a little slice of heaven that reminds us why we’re here in the first place. It’s what makes the daily grind worth it, and what connects us to the magic of being alive.

When we embrace pleasure as a guiding principle, we open ourselves up to new possibilities, new experiences, and new ways of being. Pleasure becomes a catalyst for growth, expansion, and self-discovery, leading us down paths we never thought possible and helping us unlock our full potential as human beings.

What!!! How can I invite more pleasure into my life, you ask? Well, it’s simpler than you might think. Start by paying attention to the things that light you up, whether it’s spending time with loved ones, getting lost in your favourite hobby, taking a moment to savour a cup of coffee, or simply admiring the world around you. Practice mindfulness and presence, allowing yourself to fully immerse in the sensations and experiences of each moment. And most importantly, give yourself permission to prioritise it, to embrace it as a sacred and essential aspect of your existence.

So honey, the next time you find yourself wondering what pleasure is all about and why I am always raving on about it, remember this: pleasure is not just a luxury, it’s a necessity. It’s what makes life worth living, it’s what brings that twinkle to our eyes, and what reminds us that we’re here to live, to love, and to experience every moment of joy that comes our way.

It’s time to reclaim your pleasure. Your soul will thank you for it.

With love,
