\"\"Greetings!\u00a0 I’m back from teaching my Feed Your Soul<\/strong> workshop at Rowe Camp and Conference Center, which was a full-all-out blast!\u00a0 Amazing people in the group! \u00a0 Because we were there to feed our souls, the word pleasure surfaced.<\/p>\n

We collectively and individually realized that we often give up the things that give us pleasure when we are seemingly short on time.\u00a0 (Sound familiar?)<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0 As a result of the stress and the absence of pleasure, our mood slips, depression sets in, and self-esteem erodes. Without pleasure, without leisure time, it becomes more and more difficult to define yourself apart from your job or your paycheck.<\/p>\n

Juliet Schor, Harvard economist, reported that factory workers in Britain were forced to give up their overtime due to the company\u2019s economic woes.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What do you think happened?<\/p>\n

With time on their hands, people got together with their friends and family and the meaning of life became clear.\u00a0 Their self-esteem began to rise; they found emotional balance.\u00a0 They worried less and played more.\u00a0 They felt better.<\/p>\n

Adults need to learn, relearn and\/or reinforce their \u2018finding pleasure\u2019 skills.<\/p>\n

Pleasure: plezh-er<\/strong> – the state or feeling of being pleased; enjoyment or satisfaction derived from what is to one’s liking; gratification; delight. sensual gratification.<\/em><\/p>\n

What gives you pleasure?<\/strong>\u00a0 I\u2019m not talking about big fun. I\u2019m not talk about happiness. I\u2019m talking about the small things in life that give you pleasure.<\/p>\n
