I was listening to Greg James on the radio this morning, and he was playing a game called Sexy or Not Sexy.
It’s a brilliant game, and while it’s not actually about what gets you sexually aroused (or though maybe some of these things will give you fizzy knickers if you’re weird) it really makes you think about what gives you a really good feeling and what doesn’t.
All you have to do is compare two similar things to find a Sexy and a Not Sexy.
Here were a few of their examples:
Lawnmowers - Not Sexy, but ride-on lawnmowers - Sexy! (Kev will love this one!)
Cracking an Egg - Not Sexy, but cracking an egg with one hand - Sexy!
Reversing a car - Not Sexy, but reversing a car with one hand over the passenger seat and looking out of the back window - Sexy!
Nice bars of soap in your bathroom - Sexy, but bars of soap in a public toilet - Not Sexy! (Especially when accompanied by one damp, grubby-looking towel)
Wearing a tea towel over your shoulder in the street - Not Sexy, but wearing a tea towel over your shoulder in the kitchen Sexy - AF!
I’ve got a couple of my own:
Walking my dog on a gorgeous summer’s day - Sexy, but walking my dog on a gorgeous summer’s day carrying his poop in a bag - Not Sexy!
Reading books in the bath before I was 40 - Sexy, but reading books in the bath now when my glasses keep steaming up - Not Sexy!
And this one in particular:
Spending 48 hours on a video call - Not Sexy, but going to a great hotel for an indulgent one-to-one coaching retreat to reset your goals and work on your mindset with your own personal coach for two days - Beyond Sexy!
I’m opening up applications for two such retreats on 17/18th July. Fair warning - these won’t be cheap, so if you’re on a tight budget then I have other options more suitable for you, but if you know it’s time to invest in yourself and you’re ready to focus intensively on your future to achieve mental clarity, feel inspired and motivated, and regain a sense of control, then get in touch by replying to this post
