I first heard of ‘Pleasurable Consumption’ some 10 years ago, and have since expanded the concept to embrace more and more in my life.

Most of us don’t live on a deserted Island, and more accurately we depend on many people, systems and tangible things moment to moment and day to day, to make our lives possible if not to make it easier.

Consumption is what you use in life. 

Whether it’s your ‘fingers’ or your ‘Ferrari’, it is what you have in your life, what you use, make use of, and depend upon, the things that you surround yourself, including the people that are around you.

‘Pleasurable Consumption’ is at it simplest the idea of enjoying what you have in your life. 

The simple logic being : that if you already must depend on a multitude of things to sustain & support your life, what better decision or action than the decision & action to really truly and fully acknowledge, fully use, fully appreciate,  and fully give credit to that what has supported you and made your ‘life’ possible as you know it , and probably better than you could hope for.

If you can live your life from this lens of fully appreciating & utilizing (which is the highest form of flattery)what you already have in your life, not only will this make your life fuller and more enjoyable, but is Most Likely to attract more good in your life.

The more you can enjoy what life brings your way, the more you amplify the ‘Good’ in your life.

Actually you can have it be ‘good’ by your saying so, because it is possible to transform what ‘ Is’ by the way you ‘See it ’ and ‘call it ’, so that even the so called ‘bad’ in your life, can have some good or benefit to it if you are willing to find the good and affirm that in your thought and awareness.

So as they say: “ Get rid of dull Dogs that spread Blue”, be the pack leader in your life, and have your life be just as you wish it to be.

Is exercise a good word you Love, something you Hate, or something you just Do.

Well if you do Exercise, whether you love it or Hate it, it is a credit to you that Do Exercise. Because Exercise is the one pivotal element that can turn around your health with so many ailments,  from Hypertension,  to Diabetes to Obesity & Weight loss.

Exercise can be a challenge for many, from finding the time to do it, the energy, the space, the strength, and the consistency factor, doing an Exercise regimen say at least 3 to 5 times a week is no cup cake.

However, whether you like exercise or not, exercise doesn’t have to be painful or a pain.

It may seem ‘inconvenient’ at first as anything new in one’s life, not only exercise, is a challenge in some way or other.

And in the case of exercise, as with other decisions to alter a condition or situations in one’s life,a definite strong commitment is required.

Before any of us makes a commitment for anything, there usually is a process that gets us there.

Conviction comes before Commitment.

And Conviction is preceded by experience, and evidence that points to the particular Conviction being the right and perfect choice, and that brings us to a Conviction.

The stronger the experience and evidence ( ie.as evidence that exercise is a healthy choice, exercise being a good thing that your body needs etc.), the stronger the Conviction to do exercise, or any other Practice.

Motivation or the Reward play a big role in setting your conviction.

We are all fueled by The Motivation or the Reward to do what we do.

The Motivation can be: If you exercise 3- 5 times a week regularly, you will be in better overall health, have less stress( studies show that people who exercise regularly,  do tend to have less stress, or able to relieve some of their stress via exercising, and are able to manage the Stress they do have easier than people who do no exercise.

I say all this  for my ears especially, for I find that often exercise is far from if not the last thing I want to do.

All the more we must all try to have balance in our lives.

Exercise, captures & brings that balance back to our bodies, minds and spirit.

Chances are that if you already do some exercise, you know the joys of pushing yourself past that possible resistance, to the other side of Exploding your energy vs. Imploding your energy on a regular basis.

It’s good to be alive, and to even have the ability to exercise, so while you can, do what you can and gradually stretch your limits, you’ll be glad you did.

To our best Health & Wellbeing,
