Do you give yourself permission to embrace innocent pleasure? Or have you forgotten what it feels like?

Pleasure © Christine Spring

It’s your right to experience everyday stuff that just feels good.  It’s called PLEASURE and it is joy for the soul!!!

– “Challenge yourself, and believe!” –

Here’s the thing – you get to make a choice about this! It comes down to attitude.

My attitude is that life is short and every day has the right to be a great day! I measure a day to be “great” if it has included an element of pleasure – something done because it just feels great and fills my soul with joy. Lately, it has been late night swims that have featured heavily – when everyone has headed home, the beach deserted, all mine. It feels luxurious to strip off and wander into dark silken water  – it feels great – decadent – and pleasurable. The water on my skin. The saltiness. The weightlessness. The escape from chores.

When did you last climb a grassy knoll to watch the sunset?

Opportunity for pleasure is everywhere. It is the Sunday afternoon spent luxuriating with a lover in bed. It is having your feet massaged at the end of an endless day. It is the cup of tea warming your hands in the middle of a winter’s chill. Pleasure is bodily, physical and of the senses. It is something that we deserve to experience every day.

It is this experience of daily pleasures, big or small, that adds great joy to life.

So, what are you waiting for?  You are worthy! I hope you choose to embrace daily pleasure and the joy it brings to the soul.

Believe! Accept. Breathe. Embrace daily pleasure – you de
