PLEASURE
Some days have just got to be about pleasure.
Ok I’ll admit it, I have got this princess
personality that just isn’t satisfied unless there is some kind of indulgence
going on when I need to recharge my battery.
I am all about the pampering. I
swear if there is such a thing as past lives, last go around I was a real life
princess and it is still deeply embedded in my soul!
But here is the thing; I treat myself like a princess so I am not waiting around for someone else to give me something that I am not already providing for myself.
That is really important: take care of yourself by
heeding and fulfilling your physical, mental, and spiritual needs. You will have more of yourself to share with
others. Plus if they do treat you like royalty
too, well hip, hip, hooray – it turns into a grand
ball!
Indulgence doesn’t have to cost a lot of money
either. (But sometimes it can and that
is fun too!) I’ve got what I call my “fat and happy days” or my “Buddha belly
days.” These are days that I just chill
out and read or lay around watching movies.
On those days I eat things that I really enjoy eating -- and I really
enjoy eating them too. The goal for the
day is all about satisfaction, enjoyment, relaxing and the biggie ~
pleasure.
Soaking in a tub brings me pleasure. Going for a walk brings me pleasure. Hanging with a friend brings me
pleasure. Driving my car with the top
down brings me pleasure. I just love
that word…pleasure. Just saying it
brings me pleasure.
Pleasure is just as important to the quality of
your life as is anything else you deem important. We sometimes forget to relax and really enjoy
some of our days just for the sake of enjoying ourselves.
Even if you are going through a tough time, you
can check out for the day and focus on doing things that bring you
pleasure. I’ve done it many a times
myself. Your problems will be there
tomorrow. But interesting enough, many
times they aren’t problems anymore because you are refreshed and you have new
ideas about how to work through them.
My friend, pleasure is important. The next time your inner royalty needs a
little loving, find your pleasure and indulge yourself.
With love,
Lisa
