Top 10 Tips For Reigniting Your Feminine Essence
By Pia Muggerud
1. Spend time alone, giving back to yourself. Listen to music, read a book or your favourite poetry.
2. Work less and rest more. It is difficult, if not impossible, to be feminine and exhausted at the same time. Rest is a critical element in rejuvenating all aspects of our femininity.
3. Engage in activities that give you physical pleasure; a massage or a bubble bath.
4. Practice loving your body, regardless of its shape or size.
5. Spend more time in female company; connecting, sharing, laughing or playing.
6. Climb back in your body instead of dragging it around and express yourself through it. Get physical with dancing, yoga or your favourite sport.
7. Get creative. Female energy expresses itself through the heart, through the senses. From this mystery springs creativity and intuition. Write in your journal, start painting or cook a gourmet meal.
8. When you have energy, try saving it for play, instead of spending it at work or on the endless projects in your home.
9. Develop your ability to receive. When presented with a gift or contribution, consciously take a deep breath and accept the gift within yourself. Noticing is the heart of receiving. Notice the details of the gift, whether it is a compliment, an object, or a meal. Notice the spirit of the gift; the feeling and caring with which it is given. Notice the contribution of the gift to your life; how it changes that moment or day or particular experience. Then speak what you notice.
10. Laugh out loud! Have you ever sat on a plane and watched a funny movie and are forced to laugh out loud? Not only does it feel great but if you notice, people around you will also end up smiling. It’s contagious!
This list was created to serve professional women who have a strong sense of mission and drive but who forget to nurture their inner feminine in the process. As professionals, we have to learn to dance between feminine flow and masculine direction.
So how can we reignite the qualities often lying latently within us, and what can we do in order to keep this femininity alive within us, fully expressed? Well, if you have swept your inner feminine under the carpet long enough, and you want to bring her out, these are some things you can do to nurture her.
As coaches, we rely much on both heart and intuition. The above will reintroduce you to both! Enjoy the dance!
