There’s a lot of messages in our culture that pleasure isn’t important and should only be enjoyed after all the “productive” things are done. There tends to be a lot of shame around seeking pleasure because it’s sort of a forbidden fruit.

In this episode, we’re going to explore why it’s important to reconnect with pleasure in general, what gets in the way, and what we can do about it.

When we’re disconnected from our pleasure, we’re disconnected from our sense of agency in our day-to-day lives. It could be work getting in the way, societal pressure, family or upbringing, but it’s important to find some pleasure for yourself.

• What things do you truly enjoy?
• What is getting in your way?
• What’s one small pleasure you can allow yourself today?

Part of our work with clients is to support the inner work to get to a place where they can prioritize pleasure and start to see how the small effects of that pleasure build up over time.
