Warrior Goddess WILD

A seven-day journey to cultivate play and pleasure

Day 5: Turn up the volume!

Did you make a fabulous mess yesterday? More pleasure means more permission, which can be exhilarating and sometimes even scary. Take a moment to hug yourself, brave one (whether you did yesterday’s task or not. It’s all good!).

So let’s take a moment to talk about self-soothing AND enhancing pleasure and permission.

For Day 5 of our Warrior Goddess Wild Challenge, we focus on the all-important skill of embodying your five senses to create more pleasure every day.

Soothing is something that we can learn, but we must bring it from our heads into our bodies. Thinking nice thoughts is not enough; we must bring our compassion and tenderness very viscerally to the parts of us that are closing down, disconnecting, or terrified and anxious. We are learning how to mama ourselves as we would mama a hurt, scared puppy or child.

Today your challenge is to combine self-love with turning up the volume of pleasure with your five senses. How can you press the yes-please-pleasure-buttons with your sight, touch, smell, taste, and sound?

Here are some ideas; more are listed on the PDF with a bonus task!

Pick a color and feast on it throughout the day with your eyes. Enjoy the different shades, textures, and the surprises when that color pops out unexpectedly.

Put on your softest shirt and notice how it feels throughout the day.

Pause longer at a smell you love and really take it in.

Play with savoring food. Slow down and take in the subtleties of each separate bite.

Prime yourself to enjoy sound. Close your eyes and lie down with headphones and a favorite song or out in nature. Let your ears drink in beauty.

Soak it ALL in!

Blessings,
