Pleasure isn’t something to be earned

 In case you needed this reminder

Raise your hand if you ever felt like you had to earn your way to feeling good.

I’m absolutely guilty of this and it’s come up in so many conversations I’ve had with others. The idea that we need to achieve, change, or push ourselves to extremes to be deserving of pleasure or feeling accomplished.

It’s time to shed the idea that worthiness is tied to effort or perfection. Your body—right here, right now in this very moment—is worthy of love, care, and feeling sexy and powerful as fuck.

We can be a work in progress and still feel delicious in your body.

Sensuality and pleasure aren’t rewards we get by winning the games we’ve created in our own minds; they are gifts, you can claim as you are. By honoring your authentic self and tuning into your own body’s truest desires, you create space to feel deeply and move authentically. There’s power in allowing yourself to simply be.

Give yourself permission to explore, to savor, and to reconnect with the pleasure that is your birthright. You are a sensual being, inherently magnetic, magical,  and beautifully whole.

Because you know who doesn’t get to decide if you’re sexy or deserving of pleasure? Anyone else but you.

XOXO,

Andrea
