Spring forward \u2013 time to reflect upon your femininity.
\nDo words linger in the back of your mind and pop-up at the most unexpected times?<\/p>\n
When you were young,\u00a0what kind of memorable words of\u00a0encouragement or discouragement did you receive from your parents?\u00a0Did\u00a0those words stick with you past\u00a0childhood? Have you become a certain kind of adult because of what you believed your parents wanted you to be, or believed you were? The parental voice is a powerful thing \u2013 one we internalize because it holds so much control over us as children. It\u2019s hard to step out of the expectations that our parents created for us, and we often translate those expectations into adulthood. Parents may use language that, far from encouragement, make us self-conscious or sensitive and turn us on the way to overcompensation or self-denial.<\/p>\n
Femininity is something that is discouraged in boys because it is commonly thought of as a weakness \u2013 but girls can be dissuaded from\u00a0channeling their femininity\u00a0as well. Maybe your mother wanted you to know that you were a strong woman capable of anything, but equated strength with male characteristics. After all, the world is dominated by men, and\u00a0their power appears to be\u00a0directly attributed to their gender.\u00a0 Or perhaps you looked up to your father\u2018s respect and approval so much that you still strive for it unconsciously. The\u00a0male\u00a0gender wrought opportunity in a time of inequality, and established a belief that should women choose to achieve\u00a0equal power, they ought to be more like men.\u00a0This inherently\u00a0implies that women are not good or strong enough.\u00a0But if women aim for power, should they be striving to mimic maleness? Or can they redefine what it means to be strong on their own terms?<\/p>\n
The opposite of femininity is power. Is that true? Is that true to you?<\/p>\n
Femininity need not be associated with weakness or being second-best.\u00a0If you are actively\u00a0denying\u00a0the feminine energy and sensuality that exists\u00a0within you\u00a0as\u00a0a woman, then you are denying a part of yourself. The inner-child or inner-self needs your approval more than you think.\u00a0 Why mimic someone else\u2019s actions? Your particular talents and idiosyncrasies, and your\u00a0female traits\u00a0\u2013 whether you are \u201cfeminine\u201d or not -needs to be celebrated. \u00a0Tap within and discover more about your\u00a0inner-self\u00a0as a source of strength and inner power.<\/p>\n
Take this time to think about the assumptions people have made about you, or for you, because of your gender or looks. Then think about your own assumptions and insecurities. Do they belong there? Do they make sense? Are they setting you on the path\u00a0to greatness, or have you set self imposed limitations in trying to be someone that you\u2019re not? Is it okay to be yourself?<\/p>\n
