I have a
very simple philosophy: I believe there are three things you’ll never regret
doing. In a perfect world, each day would include all three: Yoga, Sex and a
Nap.
Let’s start with yoga. Yoga
encourages the flow of positive energy, heightens body awareness, reduces stress
and improves your mood. It stretches and strengthens your mind, body and spirit.
Yoga is both invigorating and calming. Practicing yoga requires you to tune in
to how your body feels. It inspires awareness of all that is around you, and
confidence in your body. Confidence in
your body equals confidence in yourself. Yoga also boosts libido and the
ability to orgasm. But more on that later….
Naps. Why is it we only insist the young and sick take them? Many
older, wiser people take one every day. So, why do most humans between the age
of twenty and sixty forgo this simple necessity, often viewing naps as something
for the lazy and the weak? Naps
increase your energy, alertness and memory. A quick nap can give birth to
fresh creative ideas. Naps also
reduce stress, quiet the mind and
refresh the spirit. Whether it’s ten minutes or an hour, when was the last time
you woke up from a nap and thought, “Oh, I wish I hadn’t taken that nap?”
Sex. I’m talking about passionate, healthy “I love you” sex. Sex full of love, desire, respect and intimacy. Sex reduces stress
and boosts immunity. Orgasms are
believed to raise your oxytocin levels – the "love hormone." This hormone is
known to lower blood pressure, boost immunity and fuel positive social
interaction. Sex also allows us to take time out of our often hectic schedules
to connect and strengthen the emotional bond with our partner. When you take
time to intimately express the love you have for each other, you also tune in to
the love you have for yourself. That, in turn, inspires you to see and feel all
the love the world has to offer, and the love you have to give back.
Yoga, sex and a nap. Individually, they all inspire creativity and awareness, set your body and
spirit aglow, and strengthen the mind body connection. There’s a Zen quality to
each. My advice? Be bold. Aim for all three, daily. You won’t regret it.
