We live in a world where women are no longer confined to specific careers for women only. We have women that not only support the police force, but become police officers. We have women who are mechanics, doctors, and fill other careers that were once dubbed “male-dominated.”
Yet despite women breaking the barriers of societal norms, and taking on roles that are considered masculine, many women still enjoy embracing their feminine side. Remember, embracing your feminine side is not just about your gender identity, or the way that you dress, it’s also about nurturing parts of you that embrace compassion, and intuition.
If you’re looking for ways to tap into your feminine side, here are some ways to get started.
Wear Clothing that Makes You Feel “Soft”
Dressing in a feminine nature doesn’t necessarily mean you have to wear floral prints and bright pink every day. Femininity is ultimately about wearing something that makes you feel— well, feminine! Wear something that makes you feel gentle and soft, and brings out your sensitive side. For some people, this may mean a dress, while for other people it may mean a fuzzy sweater. Wear things that bring out a gentle nature in you, and make you feel calm and non-aggressive.
Practice Self Care
All too often we focus on taking care of others as a woman and forget how important it is to also take care of ourselves. Self-care is a critical part of being a woman, however. After all, how can we expect to look after others if we neglect ourselves? Always take the time to give yourself what you need if you hope to have enough energy and compassion for others.
Self-care can come in many forms. For some people, it’s giving yourself enough time to read at night, while for other people it’s a spa treatment. Ultimately, self-care is doing whatever it takes for you to be the best version of yourself.
Embrace Creativity
One of the most important aspects of being a woman is embracing your creative side. Feminine energy is often associated with unleashing your inner artist, whether it’s dancing, painting, or singing. Engage in activities that will spark your inner artist and not only spark joy in your own heart, but also resonate with the joy in other people’s hearts. Embracing this creative side of you will connect you to your feminine essence and foster a sense of connection with the world around you.
Connect with Nature
Nature in itself has a divine feminine energy that you can tap into. Take the time to soak in the beauty of the outdoors and connect with the feminine essence of the earth. Place your bare feet on the ground, and run your fingers through blades of grass. Allow the soothing feminine nature of the world to nurture your spirit.
