Hey there, how are you?

I talked last week about my two beautiful cats and their natural ability to receive pleasure, their natural allowance of that pleasure.

A couple of days later I was sitting at my desk in my office at home. Our beautiful tortoiseshell cat, Sparkle, likes to sit on the pile of papers on my desk while I work, it’s one of her favourite places to be.

On this particular day, she sat next to me as usual and every so often she pushed her head into my hand, asking me to stroke her. She would move forward a little and nudge my hand with her nose, before lifting my hand up and putting her head underneath it. I responded, pretty much every time, by stroking and tickling her head and behind her ears. To her great pleasure.

After about the millionth time of this little routine, it suddenly clicked in my head that what she was doing was actively seeking out pleasure. She wasn’t simply allowing herself to receive it, she was seeking it out. How ace is that?

Not only was there no awkwardness or embarrassment about receiving pleasure, there was none about actually looking for it, on purpose, either. It was a completely acceptable and comfortable thing for her to do. She wanted it, she expected it, she got it. Simple.

So today your mission is to actively seek out pleasure. Do things that bring you pleasure, go out looking for the pleasure, seek it out for yourself. Want it, expect it, get it.Simple.

Go, enjoy.
