26 Dec Why Not Add More Pleasure to Your Life?
It’s that time of year. We’re thinking about our resolutions and goals for the new year. I always have the best of intentions; this time I think I’ll have no problem keeping mine. Actually it will be a sheer pleasure. Why not add more pleasure to your life? It starts with making a plan. Define it however you’d like, though I’m thinking of sensual pleasures.
My plan is to find new ways to celebrate myself this year by engaging in exploration, pleasure and creative endeavors. Somewhere in there is all the usual sexy stuff, but it’s more than that. My pleasure plan is about bringing ME alive.
Here’s an excerpt from my article, Planning for a Year of Pleasure:
“Pleasure is not a naughty word.
As mothers, caregivers, grandmothers, single women or partners we need individual moments of pleasure to keep us going. They stoke the fire; they give us the energy to participate in a full life.
Feeling good about ourselves—however that manifests for you—helps us feel more vibrant and sexier. There are several components to a good pleasure plan. They include the physical and the emotional. Get the blood flowing, the skin tingly, the senses engaged and you will feel the sexual energy flowing through your body. Don’t forget the mind. Incorporate pleasures that engage you mentally—whether it’s explicitly sexual or a more overall sensuous feeling. ”

What about your 2014? How will you increase the pleasure in your life?

Posted at 11:24h, 26 DecemberAbsolutely. Why wouldn’t we take the time to craft out a plan like this? I’m pretty excited…like play dates, spa retreats and ‘free’ days all rolled into one!

Posted at 22:59h, 29 DecemberI love your list and the idea of a plan. One thing I’m enjoying more than I expected to in this new career as a Realtor is dressing up every day.
