Communication is one of the most important skills to have, and, like any skill, we must keep working at it. A lack of communication can fracture even the strongest of foundations, but when we communicate well, we foster relationships, grow our knowledge, foster our empathy, and nourish our communities.

“Many of us pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that we hurry past it.” ― Søren Kierkegaard

Pleasure can be found all around us and at any time, but we often miss it because we are in such a rush to get to the next thing, make the next goal, make someone else happy—slow down. Make yourself happy. Those things will all still be there, and you will feel even better when you reach them!

Sensory grounding is another type of pleasure we can find in the quiet moments and create in the hectic ones. It uses the five senses to ground us in the moment when our thoughts become too much, or to enhance an already peaceful scene. This can be done by using the 54321 grounding technique, visualizing somewhere that gives you peace by engaging the senses to enhance the visualization, taking off your shoes and walking in the grass for 10 minutes, gardening, a long hug from a loved one, and more.

Sensory pleasure is important and easy to access! Self-massage, aromatherapy, salt baths, and more are ways we can all enjoy our senses. This helps to relieve stress in our minds and our bodies! Getting a pedicure or manicure, acupuncture, or a professional massage are other great ways to enhance this! Something as simple as baking cookies and letting ourselves feel the texture of the dough and enjoy the smell of fresh cookies can change our mood for the better!

Embrace your childlike energy and incorporate dance and play into your life. This will help release endorphins and other things that help us feel more joyful and less stressed! Put on a song and let yourself be silly, or maybe engage in a game of tag or hide and seek? These things are not just for children, and we sometimes lose sight of the pleasure to be found in simple play!

The first thing we think of when it comes to pleasure is s*xual pleasure and this is important as well. Whether it is with a partner or just ourselves, finding ways to have s*xual release makes a big difference in both our mental and physical health. There is no shame in this pleasure, and if you are not feeling fulfilled, it is okay to talk to your partner to find ways you can both feel good. Or, if you are flying solo, there are plenty of methods to help guide you to release. Many of my clients are shy to speak about s*xual pleasure, but s*x is something that connects all of us and is not something to be ashamed of.

Sensory eating is a way we can bring pleasure into mealtimes without pushing our boundaries on health and diet. This involves eating slowly and taking the time to notice individual flavors, spices, and sensations that our food offers us. Another way to enhance this is to create a pleasant dining environment. Maybe instead of just eating on the couch while watching tv you sit at a table with friends and family? Maybe you want quiet? Maybe you want to make some popcorn and get cozy with a blanket? Find ways to find pleasure in your food so it feels less like a chore and more like a treat!

“Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures.” ― H. Jackson Brown Jr., Life's Little Instruction Book

We all have dreams and goals, and getting caught up in the hubbub of life, and sometimes even our own drive for success, can leave behind the simple pleasures in life. Taking the time to slow down and notice small things that bring us joy makes a huge difference. Try setting aside some time every day to go out into nature or to a place that makes you feel happy and to notice something new. Appreciate the flowers, a new book display, the taste of a new pastry— the simple things can bring us the most joy on a bad day.

Pleasure can be a taboo topic, and because of that, many people shy away from talking about it or feel guilty. However, it is important to have and enjoy pleasure in our lives. It is not a luxury but something we all deserve. Pleasure is not just limited to s*x and intimacy but is found in all parts of our lives— it is the joy we feel in our bodies and minds when we feel joy, satisfaction, and feeling good in our bodies. It is different from simple rest; it goes deeper.
