If you’ve been listening to this podcast, you’ll know that your thoughts create your feelings. This episode is a continuation of the conversation we started last week about motivation and desire, and how those play a role over the course of a long-term monogamous relationship, which may result in a lack of desire for sex. Last week I shared the difference between motivation and desire, the cultural factors that created the motivation for sex, and that once the goal of a long term relationship is secured, the motivation for sex is diminished. 

In this episode, we continue exploring the connection between motivation and desire, and how we can use our thoughts to create the feelings of enthusiasm and excitement, which drive our desire for pleasurable sex.

Topics in this episode

• Have some compassion and love for yourself.
• The difference between motivation and desire:
• Motivation influences desire
• Desire is totally in our control. It’s a feeling. It’s a mood
• Thinking thoughts that help increase your enthusiasm and eagerness
• Approaching desire with curiosity creates an environment for pleasure to enter

It has been my absolute pleasure to share this with you today. Don’t forget, your mindset and your thoughts create your feelings, and desire is one of those feelings. Think about what happens in your body when you’re enthusiastic about something, you get excited and enthusiastic about pursuing it, and your pleasure should be no different. Keep thinking thoughts to create these emotions, and create more desire today.
