How to Get the Most Out of Your Life Through the Principles of PLEASURE (Ooooh, yeah)!

While at Rich Happy and Hot Live in New York, I had the *pleasure* of being introduced to the magical Mama Gena. I’d heard of Mama Gena before. In fact, I’d even downloaded a copy of her book, Mama Gena’s School of Womanly Arts, to my Kindle the week before… but I had no idea what I was in for!

Mama Gena entered the room on the shoulders of two, what I assumed to be, male models. They carried her right up to the stage, did a little sexy dance and each gave her a juicy kiss before she introduced herself (after putting on some more lip gloss, of course). Pretty awesome entrance, right?

Mama Gena exudes a level of confidence in her femininity that I have never experienced before. She has trained women of all ages to “use the power of pleasure to have their way with the world.”

Pleasure sounds naughty, doesn’t it?

When you take a look at the lives that we lead today, filled with deadlines, pressure, stress, competition and technology, it’s no wonder that pleasure sounds like something taboo.  Something you only “do” behind closed doors… when everything else has been handled.

Pleasure is about choosing to infuse all aspects of your life with fun, owning your beauty and sensuality as a woman, reinventing yourself, flirting, being playful and inviting abundance into your life!

Mama Gena’s entrance at Rich Happy and Hot Live is a perfect example of these principles. Instead of just walking on stage when cued, giving a little wave to the crowd and then diving into her presentation, she made a party out of it! She was CARRIED IN on the shoulders of two men… danced her heart out and looked like she had waaaaay more fun than any other speaker!

You want to live an extraordinary life? It’s as simple as putting these principles into action.

Three Ways to Infuse Your Life With Pleasure

1. Turn every outing into a special occassion.

Dress up, put on some lipstick and do your hair. I don’t care if you’re running some errands or heading out on a date, make it special! Dress your best so that YOU feel amazing. It’s especially important to do this when you’re feeling frumpy or depressed. Going all out and getting dolled up can instantly elevate your mood. You’ll feel and look amazing and that energy will enhance whatever it is that you’re doing.

2. “Love the F* out of yourself during these brief days on the planet.”

A quote straight from the queen of pleasure herself. Life is short! We all know this, yet we still choose to ignore it. You don’t always get a second chance and things really do change in an instant. Make the most out of your days and LOVE THE F* OUT OF YOURSELF! Treat yourself like the amazing, loveable, deserving beauty that you are. You DESERVE IT. You deserve that massage…the hot bubble bath at the end of EACH work day, that dark chocolate and glass of wine. You deserve time off to read, or maybe work on that neglected hobby of yours. You deserve to eat dinner on the good plates every night in your best dress with your favorite music playing over candlelight.

Can you imagine? Living each day doing the things that you enjoy most? The things that you desire and crave, yet constantly withhold from yourself? There doesn’t need to be an occassion (see #1) other than you just WANT TO.

3. Make every moment as joyful as you can.

Instead of looking at your commute to work with dread, look at it as YOUR time! Can you get a book on tape that you’ve been dying to devour? What about savoring some dark chocolate delight on the way home, listening to your favorite songs and some lavendar aromatherapy? Sound silly? Of course it does, because none of us take the time to CREATE that level of joy in our lives. We expect that most things will be painful and so many moments in our daily lives are wasted on stress and frustration.

It doesn’t have to be this way! An extraordinary, joyful life is within your control!
