How Doing Less Made Me More Powerful

Go-Go / Slow-Slow

Left Brain / Right Brain

Inhale / Exhale

Sun / Moon

Masculine / Feminine

We, males & females alike, need them all, we need them in balance and we need them free of ego to be our highest self.

Let’s chat more about the masculine and the feminine and what that means (to me). Here are a few words to describe both of them.

☀️ Masculine - Fire, passion, desire, drive, hustle, go-go

🌙 Feminine - Nurture, patience, calm, gentle, warmth, comfort, ease, slow-slow

I am guessing you are more comfortable with one over the other and I am guessing you are more comfortable in your masculine.

Weird, me too! 😜

This can be partly because how we were brought up, society, messaging, modeling, experience / education or anything in between.

The fact of the matter is that most of us are more comfortable in movement (go-go) than we are in the quiet and stillness (slow-slow) because we feel and hear things that we normally don’t in the slow-slow and that is scary.

What do we do about this? We first begin by creating a safe space for ourselves. (Start broken record now … Actually, I am going to change the name from broken record to healed record.) Anyways, back to safe space.

We create our bubble around us. In this bubble, you protect, love, nurture, you. You release energy that isn’t yours and you consistently check in with yourself and how you are feeling. Simply asking, how am I feeling in this moment? It this mine or someone else’s?

🦄 This bubble gives you permission to feel __________.

Safe.

Vulnerable.

Happy.

Sad.

Angry.

Excited.

It also gives you permission to unpack why you feel uncomfortable with different feelings and emotions.

Lastly, it gives you permission to rewrite the narrative that surrounds the feminine.

All of the above, is part of nurturing the feminine.

Here is some of the narrative that ran through my head when it came to the feminine.

❌ Weak.

❌ Emotional.

❌ Unpredictable.

❌ Dramatic.

❌ Lazy.

❌ Unproductive.

❌ Boring.

❌ High maintenance.

Just to name a few. To say the least, I had a lot to unpack when it came to getting more comfortable with my slow-slow or feminine energy.

Meditation helped me get comfortable in this space; to surrender and let myself feel.

The power that came from creating these permissions for myself blew my mind.

Here are some of my benefits …

✨ Gained patience with myself and others.

✨ Clarity in decision making.

✨ Gentleness towards myself.

✨ Realized my worth is not connected to my production.

✨ Felt how slowing down actually made me more productive.

✨ Brought my nervous system back to a normal level.

✨ Allowed me to hear my intuition clearly.

✨ Reminds me and allows me to feel my truths.

✨ Shows me where to put my energy to best serve me.

✨ Let's me feel my real, deep, authentic, power.

✨ Taught me how to love and show up for myself.

It is go time ⏰ to find more balance in the go-go and the slow-slow, the masculine and the feminine. You deserve it and are worth all the freedom that comes with this integration.

Holler if I can help.
