When you start living your life as a totally alive, turned-on woman, an amazing thing happens. Not only does this bring you (as well as your partner, if you have one) an amazing amount of pleasure and joy, but you also start having a positive effect on everyone else around you. In fact, your positive, joyful outlook becomes positively contagious!

The effect is similar to what happens when you’re in a good mood. You’ve probably often seen how your good mood can put a smile on someone else’s face. But the effect I’m talking about here is much deeper and more powerful than just spreading a few smiles.

When you commit to discovering, nurturing, and then living your true passions, it’s as though you are stoking a fire in your soul. And you are—a fire fed by nitric oxide! Others then see you not only being confident and comfortable in your own skin but also celebrating yourself and reaching for joy at every turn. As a result, you will inspire them to do the same. So then they, too, begin making healthier choices that nurture their bodies, minds, and spirits. And on it goes from there!

But that’s just the start. Instead of merely being an example, as powerful as that can be, why not become a source of pleasure for others, as well? You will quickly see that this takes relatively little effort on your part, and it can be a great deal of fun.

For example, compliment people more often when they do something right. So many of us are used to getting feedback only when we do something wrong or something that displeases someone else.
