You know that feeling of being caught in the grind? The monotony of completing the same tasks daily, and even weekly...
Where the weekend doesn't feel like a weekend and time to yourself feels stolen as it's forced between errands...
That feeling is suffocating.
And your to-do list is like poison if you've only got 'need-to-do' tasks on there. It's one of the reasons we as humans often choose quick comfort over the gain of long-term goals (*ahem* choosing the couch over exercise! Even though we want to feel healthy and strong, we are addicted to comfort). Comfort is great... don't get me wrong. I highly recommend it! However, something major happens when you choose pleasure as your go-to instead of simply falling into comfort.
Pleasure is something we've overlooked for a long, long time. It gets lost in the to-do list, put away for "another time", and is often placed alongside the things we experienced as a child.
We've got it all wrong.
Pleasure is a need.
Pleasure feeds you like nothing else can. It's choosing your joy in a society that teaches the opposite.
When we choose pleasure, it shifts our whole being into a feeling of satisfaction with life. It's not a long lost dream and it's not just for children. You don't even have to go far to find it - it's waiting for you right here.
Pleasure is what invites some wild into your life. It's where you get to be unpredictable and unleash pent up energy from stress. It's also where you unleash a piece of who you truly are instead of acting on someone else's expectations. It's listening to your Heart and saying "YES!" to what you love.
And it's simple!
But we may need to relearn how to choose it because, in choosing it, we are choosing ourselves (and we've often been taught otherwise). It can be as simple as a dance party at home or sleeping under the stars when your bed is inside just a few feet away. It's going for a cold dip or dancing in the rain (we've got a lot of rain comin' in Ontario!).
It's choosing what feeds your soul.
So let me ask you... when was the last time you broke your to-do list for more than just comfort? When was the last time you chose pleasure?
My three month Program Unleash Your Legacy works directly on helping you carve a new way forward that feels right. This way forward will invite a deep remembering of who you truly are, and will ask you to something daringly different:
Choose yourself.
