The Guilt Free Sexy Revival
Are you tired of always being last on your list? Are you ready to feel like yourself again?
You know, that flirty, sexy, vibrant, radiant version that’s just a bit dusty after a few years of kids, parenting, no sleep, constant caregiving, and work?
Yes, she’s still there Mama.
Let’s revive that woman with these 5 guilt free, simple techniques!
- Create time. Make time for you a priority. What can you say “NO” to? What can you delegate so you have more time for yourself? Eliminate the things that you don’t feel a full body “YES” to, so you can make time for yourself. Creating time for self-care is essential to feeling sexy.
- Start a Pleasure journal. Pay attention to the things that bring you joy! For many of us moms, we totally numb out to what we enjoy, as we are so focused on taking care of everyone else. Write down the things that make you feel good. Experiences you enjoy. The beautiful things you see. When was the last time you laughed so hard your stomach hurt? What were you doing? When was the last time you had amazing sex? What smells good? What tastes good? What sounds do you enjoy? What kinds of things feel good on your skin? What are you grateful for? When you enjoy something – take note!
- Get Sensual. Sensuality is all about basking in your senses. Take time to revel in each of your senses. Grab something yummy to eat. Put it on a pretty plate; enjoy the smell and the taste of the food. (leftover mac n cheese from your kids plate doesn’t count) Listen to music you enjoy, fill your space with scents you love, things that feel good to touch, and spend some time enjoying your senses. This is so nourishing to the nervous system, and so powerful in bringing back pleasure.
- Bring back Desire. Do you have a pulse on what you want? Take 10 minutes and write down everything you want, from small to big. Don’t edit yourself; just let it flow. Most of us are so busy helping everyone else in our family we don’t even know what we want, so tapping into this is key! Then take one small thing from that list and make it happen. Maybe it is to take a nap – enlist the help of a sitter, grandparent, or friend and make it happen for yourself!
- Shower yourself with Love. This simple ritual of self-care is so powerful! Shower and dress yourself in in something that makes you feel good. Even if you are just taking your kids to the park. Investing that loving kindness to yourself is a beautiful start to embracing your sensual, sexy self. When bathing or showering really feel gratitude and love for your body and all it does for you, tapping into this can really help you feel sexier in your skin. Even just touching your face with kindness does so much good for the nervous system. Instead of slapping on the lotion after you bathe, really enjoy the process, sending love to your body along the way.
Start your revival by integrating one or 2 of these simple practices into your life, and feel like a woman again. You will reconnect to that vibrant sexiness inside of you.
You are a better mother, partner, and friend when your cup is full. Everyone benefits.

An Rx for FUN!
When was the last time you did something you enjoyed so much, you lost track of time?
When you were in such a pleasurable state, hours went by and you didn’t even notice?
How was the rest of your day after that experience?
How did you treat others? Your family?
In my experience, I tend to be much happier, kinder, and more patient after these times.
When you are in these pleasurable states, your brain is functioning from the highest level, the mid pre frontal cortex. This enables you to access more creativity, and higher cognitive function.
We can respond vs. react. We can creatively problem solve. We can appreciate and enjoy more.
When we are acting from a place of pain or suffering, the opposite is true. We go into our primal brain function. Reactive. Fearful. Fight or flight. Lashing out.
If the state of the world has you concerned right now, it is more important than ever to pursue pleasure. Your joy. So you can function from a place of creativity.
Also, when you are living in beautiful, pleasurable state of being, you are inspiring others to do the same.
We have mirror neurons that relate to others by observing them, and matching to your own internal reactions and experiences. That’s why for example when you see someone get hit by a Frisbee, you recoil. Or if you see someone laughing, it can become contagious.
This is why, in my humble opionon, pursing your pleasure is one of the best ways to save the world. I’ve said this before and will again, as mother Teresa says, the best way to save the world is to go home and love your family.
How can you do this?
Watch something funny. Listen to music that lights you up. Take action on causes that you are passionate about. Do something for someone else. Volunteer. Praise someone else, write a thank you note. Make love, All these things will help move your brain into a higher functioning plane.
