Positive Effects of Pleasure




While working on a self coaching product for newsletter subscribers and clients I realised how easy it had been to compile all of the reasons to include more pleasure in our lives. Seems obvious doesnt it. More pleasure equals more happiness. Pleasure is an important element of feeling like our days are worthwhile, not a grind or drudgery. Pleasure can be in many forms and excites our senses. Pleasure is personal. What might be a real treat for me may seem a little ho-hum to others. What sort of difference could it make to partake in little indulgences - without the guilt. If we understand the real benefit of indulgence and pleasure - the positive power of pleasure we may be more inclined to allow ourselves to enjoy. There are pleasures that are easy to access, that we can include in our days easily. It seems we may easily forget the positive effects of pleasure -which is interesting in itself - and when we make it easy to access them we can turn our day around or start our day off well. Pleasure can come from laughter, a beautiful scent or a taste sensation. By adding a simple pleasure to each of our days it can really turn our lives around when we need to. Today I'm going in search of a cartoon that makes me laugh out loud.
