Make Love to Yourself This Valentine’s Day

Mmm…ahh…yes, right there…more, more…

These are the sounds of a woman getting the attention she wants.  It can be intimate attention, an invigorating foot massage, or an intellectually stimulating conversation.  When something hits the spot, it feels really good, the juices get flowing, and you want more.

Doing something pleasurable is like finding the light switch to the sun inside you.  You radiate positive energy.  Everything around you is brighter. 

Ever had an incredible massage and gotten up off the table just knowing life would be fantastic if you could have one just like that every day? 
Even if a live-in masseuse isn’t in your near future, DAILY PLEASURE can lift your spirits and help you face the world with more joy and optimism.

What would your life be like if you made sure to do one thing everyday that brought you intense pleasure?  Even for just five minutes?

If life has gotten so busy that you rarely take time to cater to yourself, make a date – perhaps on or around Valentine’s Day – to zoom in on YOU.

What really brings you pleasure?  What makes your eyes twinkle, your toes curl, or your shoulders relax?

Scan your memories, all the way back to childhood.  What was happening during the times you were laughing the hardest or smiling the biggest?  Where were you?  Who were you with? 

Give yourself the gift of pleasure. 

• Take a day off from email, and talk on the phone with an old friend. 
• Play a game with your kid (or a friend’s kid) that you haven’t played in years. 
• Read at least one chapter of a novel (even a trashy one). 
• Luxuriate in a hot bubble bath.

As with any love relationship, giving yourself focused attention at least once in a while is a great way to stay connected – to who you are, and what you like. 

But more is better.  If you don’t think you can squeeze 5 minutes of pleasurable fun into everyday, then start with holidays.  Then spend your entire birth month doing things that really turn you on.  By next year, you may be ready to make personal pleasure a daily habit.
