The 8th tenet of The Pleasure Project Program is Courageous Aligned Action.

You've heard the quote: Challenge happens outside of your comfort zone. That's what this tenet is all about: building the confidence, resiliance, and courage to take bold actions towards your dreams and desires. You'll learn how to regulate your nervous system, create safety and have your own back as you commit to the to the growth you want for yourself. It’s about going all in on what will take your life to the next level and creating your own pleasure project that facilitates how you want to grow next. In The Pleasure Project Program you will have the support, accountability and guidance to show up courageously in service of your dharma, learn to overcome your fear and failure and create unshakeable self-confidence. Because what scares us the most is not taking bold, courageous action towards our dreams and goals, it's about regretting not having played all out and left it all. Embracing the challenge isn’t hard. Living out of integrity with your dreams and desires is the hardest thing of all.

The 6th tenet of The Pleasure Project Program is Environmental Architecture.

Your environment is one of the best things to leverage when you want to make a change. It consists of 3 things: 1) the people you surround yourself with 2) your physical surroundings, and 3) your input - what you’re taking in through your 5 senses: what you're listening to, reading, watching, wearing, touching.

There are 3 ways you can use your environment to support you: 1) to help you feel the way you want to feel 2) to trigger certain behaviors so you don’t need to use willpower 3) to reprogram your mind and remind you of who you’re becoming and to change your self-concept

In this episode I take you through an assessment of your environment to see if your space is helping or hindering your growth and goals.

The 5th tenet is Identity Evolution, the key ingredient for creating permanent change in your life.

James Clear, author of Atomic Habits said: "Your current behaviors are simply a reflection of your current identity. What you do now is a reflection of the type of person that you believe that you are (either consciously or subconsciously). To change your behavior for good, you need to start believing new things about yourself.”

Throughout history, people have used alter egos and identity evolution to BECOME the person who can achieve their goals. Because if you want to change your life, you have to change your self-image first.

In the Pleasure Project Program, you’ll learn my process for becoming your future self. I combine self-hypnosis, visualization, specific journal exercises, environmental design and courageous action to embody the person you want to become so you can change anything you want about yourself.

You stop limiting yourself based on who you’ve been in the past and get better at future thinking to create your desired reality.

The second tenet of the Pleasure Project Process is Mindset Mastery. It has 4 parts:

1. Increase your self-awareness and mindfulness of your thoughts and feelings so you're less reactive to them.

2. Clarity of the difference between facts, thoughts, emotions and how you're creating your results.

3. Deal with uncomfortable emotions in a healthy way and change your relationship to emotional discomfort (so your life is not run by your emotions).

4. Rewire your subconscious programs, change your beliefs to achieve your goals, and generate the feelings to take action and stop procrastinating.

If you want to add self-directed neuroplasticity and emotional empowerment to your toolbox of living an amazing life, join the waitlist!

I'm diving into the 10 tenets of creating a pleasurable life and the first ingredient is Knowing Thyself.

I've created 6 steps to take you through the process of finding more clarity, purpose and direction.

1. Codify Your Core Values

2. Find Your Why

3. Own Your Story

4. Choose Your Purpose

5. Clarify Your Vision

6. Set Specific Goals

When you go through these 6 steps of knowing thyself, you have clarity and a guidance system with which to revolve your life around. You know who you are and where you’re going. You start living the life you want, not the one that's expected of you. You feel on purpose, aligned and in integrity with who you really are.

The #1 reason you are not doing the thing you've been thinking about and talking about is because you haven't made the clear decision to commit. Decide comes from the Latin word decidere — which means "to cut or kill off". When you make a decision you cut yourself off from all other options. You draw a line in the sand that says, "I'm doing this". Before that point, it's all too easy to delay, procrasination and find perfectly good excuses why you can't do the thing. The problem is all those open loops are a slow drain on your energy. But once you commit, it's actually relatively easy to show up and make it happen.

What decision are you waiting to make? What are you ready to commit to? If you need help, reach out to me on Instagram!

I'm so excited for my upcoming trip to Texas for my sister's wedding. I've been allowing myself to enjoy that delicious feeling of looking forward to something. There's so much pleasure in anticipation, often more than the event itself. Sometimes we don't fully take advantage of the joy of thinking about something that we're moving towards but miss the opportunity for so much enjoyment in the moment.

Anticipation is a feeling we can use in goal setting and manifestation. When we decide to go on a trip and get the ticket, we know it's as good as done and start enjoying the vacation ahead of time - simply by thinking about it. We "assume the feeling of our wish fulfilled". This emotion magnetizes what we want towards it. 

Give yourself permission to enjoy the destination before you get there - whether that's a trip or a goal. Savor those feel-good emotions now.
