Serious question. Do you experience enough pleasure? I'm not asking if there are enough pleasurable things in your life...I'm asking if you are experiencing pleasure. In my life, there is fun, exciting, interesting, pleasant stuff all around me, but that doesn't mean I'm actually experiencing pleasure.
These next few weeks we are going to focus on what it means to experience pleasure in a world on overdrive. There is too much busyness, too much hurt, too much information to take in for any human to thrive without particular management skills, and I think one of those skillsets is the ability to experience goodness, enoughness and pleasure.
To get started, this week, I'd like for you to write down a few pleasurable experiences. They might not be big. They may even be somewhat insignificant to the outside world. But if you took the time to sit in the soft satisfaction of happiness, write it down. That was a pleasurable moment.
