Prioritize your life outside of your business...
Pleasure is a non-negotiable.
When I say pleasure, I do mean orgasmic pleasure — things like self-play, play with a partner...
But I also mean other things too, like:
Getting a massage
Walking on the beach
Sleeping in
Chocolate
{fill in the blank with what TRULY lights you up}
Pleasure is very different for all of us...
A Virgo may find pleasure creating a flower arrangement
A Libra may love decorating her home
A Pisces may enjoy a long meditation with eye shades
A Cancer may be drawn to long soaks in the tub
A Leo may need to be seen in their latest favorite outfit
An Aries may need to go for a run — or better yet, race someone else and win
A Gemini might be desiring an intellectual conversation
A Sagittarius might be calling in a spontaneous trip to the mountains
A Scorpio might be craving an all-nighter — alone
A Taurus may need to order DoorDash and hang out in bed
An Aquarius needs to feel that they’re part of a community
A Capricorn wants to pay all their bills and then hit the spa
We are all SO different — what brings pleasure to you might be a worst nightmare to me.
(I’m thinking about music festivals — big nope from me.)
I invite you to inquire within about how much pleasure you allow yourself to experience on a daily basis.
What does pleasure mean to you?
Just like you make time for your devotional acts, or make time to go grocery shopping...
Make time for your pleasure.
We think our work/business is 80% of our day and the rest is 10–20%.
I want you to aim for 50/50 — or even 40/60.
Yes.
