HOW TO ENJOY BEING A WOMAN
In the post-feminist era, and with the onset of 21st Century hustle and bustle, some women have forgotten how fun it is to be a girl.
We have also forgotten yesteryear when women didn’t leave the house unless everything was in its place.
Dressing up has been kicked to the curb, instead shabby chic is in, but, the shabby look is really not chic, jeans and a t-shirt have become the “drabby” norm.
We have stopped stepping up to the occasion, instead, we have been ignoring ourselves and we are teaching the girls who are watching us the same bad behaviors.
Such as looking good, feeling good, and being good is not so important and this is adding to our collective problem of low self-esteem.
Let’s face the facts, most of us feel bad when we look bad, our energy is low, and instead of attracting what we say we what, we attract the opposite. Women have been taught to put themselves last and when your tank runs low everyone suffers.
This behavior has led us to not try anything new, stay at jobs we do not like, and live a life that is less than stellar. We learn to cope, to maintain, to survive not to thrive.
In this new entrepreneurial age, it is time-consuming to take care of it all, build a business, have a wonderful relationship, and keep everything on our person in check because when one thing starts to droop other areas start to follow.
If we want to be alive with innovation, we can’t forget about balance especially if we want to stay healthy, beautiful, and have youthful energy.
Beauty is skin deep, but tiredness is to the bone, luckily, some still believe in the art of femininity which is taking out the time to pamper oneself.
Pampering gives us a much-needed release, this allows our brain and emotions to relax and then new ideas can enter a less cluttered space. A happier woman makes everyone around her happier, however, the opposite is also true.
Women in the Business world may feel the need to use their masculine selves in order to be respected and to accomplish their desired goals.
But, our feminine side will help us by attracting positive relaxed energy which will make us feel good so we can shine and everyone pays attention to shiny things.
Femininity is the best expression of ourselves so take some time from your busy work life to pamper, play and present.
Obsessing over anything is not good instead we all should think about the last time we had a good night’s sleep, laugh so hard our stomach hurt, had real fun like when we were girls, last check-up, and paid real attention to our love life, and liked everything we saw in the mirror so that we can proudly present ourselves to the world.
As an author. game creator, and film director, I also struggle with being “work-centric” by just throwing on something comfortable and just heading out the door because my career became more important than my looks.
But, when I ignore things they start to crumble causing me to have to take some time for myself so I can regroup, redo and return to my old sexy, stylish self. Can you relate?
How have you been taking care of Yourself?
This doesn’t mean I still don’t have my “drabby” days but they are far less than they use to be.
