Your Pleasure is More Important than EVER
It may seem counterintuitive to even be talking about pleasure, joy, and bliss after yesterday’s events… but it has actually never been more important to re-orient around your own pleasure. Here’s why..
As a society, we have been collectively brainwashed over thousands of years to value and encourage our masculine energy over our feminine energy. Our giving, going, doing, serving, providing, achieving energy is glorified and our softness, our creativity, our resting, emotional, sensual, soulful, healing, existing, celebrating, BEING energy is demonized, cast out, and belittled.
And this has created war, not just externally, but INSIDE each one of us as well.
We spend all of our sacred life force energy going, doing, serving, striving, and achieving. We look to external authorities to determine what our life “should” look like and what we “should” be doing in order to be “successful” and therefore ENOUGH. When we fail to meet our own needs or the needs of our families, we blame ourselves. We just need to try harder. We just need to DO MORE.
But we don’t. What we actually need is to REORIENT around our own pleasure.
See, the most magical thing about human beings (in my humble opinion) is our ability to FEEL and process emotion. Our emotions are messengers, little cues from our subconscious about the way we REALLLLY feel about things. It is an internal guidance system. And once we start to tune into it, it will literally guide us toward the life we would rather be living.
However, when you’ve been taught your entire life that your emotions don’t matter, that they need to be ignored and pushed through and overcome OR even worse, that your emotions are “the devil tempting you,” and are leading you astray… you don’t TRUST your internal guidance system that has been doing it’s damndest to call you back HOME.
And this is where pleasure comes in.
When we make the conscious choice to focus on our own pleasure, that our pleasure is IMPORTANT. And not just important enough to acknowledge, but important enough to SHIFT THE WAY YOU OPERATE, your life will begin to change. You will make decisions based on what FEELS most aligned. What would light you up the most. What would make you the most excited.
And yes, owning what you would rather be experiencing comes with a lot of weight. Now you’ve admitted it. Now you KNOW this life isn’t doing it for you anymore. It will come with changes. It will come with chaos. You will have to watch the life you have built in service of the “shoulds” come crumbling down in order to build the life you’d rather be living.
This is a necessary chaos. It must be walked through.
And I hope at this point you can see why these individual shifts are so important for us collectively.
Every human who reorients around their OWN pleasure, freedom, and expansion, reorients around our collective pleasure, freedom, and expansion too. There is a lot of chaos coming. There are a lot of structures that NEED to fall away to make room for new, more aligned systems. Doing this work individually is the best way to prepare ourselves for the collective change that is already happening now.
So yes, even if it seems counterintuitive, it is more important than ever to orient around your own pleasure. This IS the revolution.
What do you desire? What would make you the most tapped in, wildly free, abundant, and turned on version of yourself?
Are you ready to prioritize THAT?
