Would you like to end each day feeling satisfied and content? Then bring more pleasure in!
There is no doubt that feeling good is an inside job and that our ability to feel pleasure directly affects our degree of fulfilment.
Going through a health scare a while back made me appreciate that allowing myself pleasure is not just a nice thing to do for ourselves; it’s the answer to a healthy, prosperous life!
Studies have shown that pleasure stimulates nitric oxide production in our bodies which in turn allows more oxygen and nutrients to flow to our heart, body, brain, and inner organs. In other words, pleasure is one of the most favourable feelings not just for our emotions but for our bodies too! When pinching ourselves off from it, we struggle to feel complete. On the other hand, when we are connected to it, all thoughts of unworthiness and feelings of not enough-ness disappears.
If you are a natural giver, you might struggle to allow yourself to feel deep pleasure. You might have been taught that it’s more important to give rather than receive. Of course, serving is a beautiful thing. But if we cannot allow ourselves to receive fully, we will never enjoy life to its fullest.
Here's a guided visualisation to help you connect to feelings of pleasure and deep inner peace. It’s best if you listen to it via headphones at a time you won’t be disturbed for 15 minutes or so. I hope it serves you. The transcript is below in case you want to read it.
