LYFCheck Challenge:

Choose Pleasure Check-In

31 Days of Noticing What Feels Good, Nourishing, and True to You
Pleasure is not limited to romance, intimacy, luxury, or spending money.
Pleasure can be laughter, comfort, creativity, music, movement, stillness, connection, beauty, rest, or the freedom to make a choice based on what you genuinely want.
When your LYF is filled with responsibilities, pleasure can begin to feel unnecessary. You may postpone what feels good until the work is complete, everyone else is satisfied, or you believe you have earned it.
But pleasure is not a distraction from your LYF. It is part of experiencing your LYF.
The Choose Pleasure Check-In invites you to notice your relationship with enjoyment. These daily questions will help you recognize what feels good, what prevents you from receiving it, and how you can choose pleasure without guilt, avoidance, or self-abandonment.
You are allowed to experience moments that nourish you without turning them into another assignment.
