LESSONS FROM MAMA GENA

The weekly treat

"Schedule one pleasurable thing for yourself a week. If you think there is even the remote chance that you won't stick to this commitment, recruit a girlfriend and create a weekly pleasure check-in call so you can share what pleasure you've enjoyed each week. Outdo each other in the pleasure arenas! See what you can do to make a moment that is normally not fun into fun....Find out what is fun for you. Maybe it is breaking up your workday with a run through the park or a doughnut run for you and your coworkers!. And don't feel as though you have to spend money on these fun things. Sometimes the best and most overlooked pleasures are free: brush your teeth naked and wear high heels, sing along with all you heart to your favorite song, go for a walk with a friend that you love to talk to, meditate before bed, have a make-out session with you favorite kisser! Experiment.
A Life without pleasure is about as fulfilling as saltines without the salt (and no dip). It is a life seriously lacking in nutrition. The Goddess requires pleasure to live."
