“As if you were on fire from within. The moon lives in the lining of your skin.”
― Pablo Neruda
“Our souls crave intimacy.”
—Erwin Raphael McManus
Begin now. Get in touch with your inner passion.
You’re not too old to be sexy. You’re not too big to be sexy. If you’re not happy with your body, work on it a little each day. A little goes far.
1. Physically passionate. If you do, stop saying no to your mate in the bedroom, as that eventually gets old. Make it a point to be intimate often if you do not now. It will only help your life and relationship. The intimate bond is so important—it should not be undermined. Communication is the bedrock of intimacy. Even if it feels uncomfortable, let your mate know your feelings…your desire––your passions.
2. Look at yourself again. Look at photos of yourself that you love. Get in that sexy and loving mentality. Rock some of that energy now. Let it flood you. If you feel uncomfortable about your age, put it on hold for a little while. Seriously. Forget how old you are. Start living like you’re ten years younger with the new knowledge and experience you have acquired. Get creative in your life. Decide to make it fun and exciting.
The power of taking photographs of yourself is underrated. Doing this in any way (camera, webcam, phone camera) can be an excellent tool to see who you are and how you visually appear. Photographing yourself is a beautiful self-discovery tool. Another idea––start smiling at yourself in the mirror or camera every day for thirty days. Watch what happens to your self-esteem. It blossoms!
“Feel your emotions, Live true your passions, Keep still your mind.”
―Geoffrey M. Gluckman
3. If you are in a relationship, really make it a point to remember who they are and why you love them—it is invaluable. Passion changes everything. Find your passion—re-awaken it. Own your power and life-reflection.
In a relationship, be aware and make sure that you are showing your mate respect. Don’t put your mate down. Make sure you are showing your mate passion. It’s the most creative force there is. Release judgment and begin to appreciate again. View your mate and your life with new eyes.
“When I am sharply judgmental of any other person, it’s because I sense or see reflected in them some aspect of myself that I don’t want to acknowledge.”
― Gabor Maté
Eating well, exercising, and writing in a journal also contribute to a better life and overall well-being. Embrace your life! Create your life. Visualize and believe in your desires.
“I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. He taught me that if you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it at full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good either. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be.”
― Roald Dahl, My Uncle Oswald
“Enlightenment is the key to everything, and it is the key to intimacy, because it is the goal of true authenticity.”
––Marianne Williamson
