Have you ever stopped yourself in the middle of a really stressful season to ask yourself questions like, “Do I remember that I am a woman?”
Oh. It’s happened to me several times.
I’ll just say, “Why exactly am I pushing myself so hard? I am a baby girl and should treat myself as one.”
I think women need to be reminded every now and then that they are baby girls deserving of all the baby girl treatment there is.
Many times, women are so absorbed in the many responsibilities that plague their daily lives that they forget what they are: women.
Their feminine energy is gone, and they are left with striving and tilling the ground to find food.
But our feminine energy sets us apart as women, and it is something we should preserve for ourselves at all times to help us live a balanced and fulfilled life.
9 Ways to Reconnect with Your Feminine Side
1. Cultivate Self-Compassion
You’re a woman.
And as a woman, you deserve all the kindness the world has to offer.
But while you wait for them to offer you kindness, start by being kind to yourself.
Do you notice how it is easier to show kindness to others than to yourself?
It ought not to be so.
If you must connect or reconnect with your feminine energy, you must learn to practice self-compassion.
When you give others the grace you do not give yourself, you are simply saying that they deserve it and you do not.
Is that correct?
Acknowledge your strengths and imperfections without judgment, and treat yourself with the same warmth and understanding you would offer to a close friend.
2. Nurture Your Creativity
Women are born to be creators.
It is the reason we’re the ones honored with the goodness of bringing new life to the world.
If you can bring life, what is it that you cannot create?
And how can you know your level of creativity if you do not try?
Engage in activities that allow your creativity to flow freely.
Whatever catches your eye.
It can be painting, writing, dancing, or even gardening
What are the things that turn on the wild imagination within you?
Do it more often.
Creativity is a powerful expression of your feminine energy.
The more you create, the more creative you can get.
3. Embrace Sensuality
Now, sensuality here isn’t about the tingling sensations that come with physical pleasure.
Maybe it is.
But we’re talking about reconnecting with your feminine side, and sensuality here is about engaging all your senses fully.
What is holding you back from kissing the sun?
Or reaching out to the sky to touch it?
Physical intimacy is amazing.
But have you tried taking pleasure in simple things?
Like the melting of chocolate on your lips or your tongue discovering the taste of a new meal.
Or the warmth of the sun on your skin, or the soothing of music in your soul?
Embracing sensuality helps you become more attuned to the richness of life around you.
4. Connect with Nature
Technology is such a beautiful innovation, yeah.
With all that opportunity, you can sit in the comfort of your home and experience life all over the world, meet new people, and gain knowledge.
But what is all that compared to the drumbeat of the rain on the roof?
Or the feel of the wind caressing your skin?
Spending time in nature is a potent way to reconnect with your feminine essence.
So, once in a while, take a break from your virtual life and go for a walk in the park.
Watch the trees in conversation with the wind.
Listen to the birds sing.
Watch people play, laugh, and love.
Or do something that pumps adrenaline, like hiking in the mountains.
Connecting with nature can ground us and remind us of our connection to the world.
5. Practice Meditation
What meditation does for you is that it lets you stay aware of your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations in the present time.
Your thoughts are yours, okay?
So there’s no judgment here.
Rather, you become more conscious of your line of thoughts and your most popular thoughts.
This way, you have a deeper understanding of yourself.
And you can decide whether your mind needs filtering or not.
You can decide whether you have a healthy life or your mind is filled with negativity that must be purged with positivity.
The more you meditate, the deeper you tap into your feminine intuition.
6. Express Your Emotions
Your emotions are like the connection between you and your inner self.
There’s no shame in being an emotionally expressive woman.
In fact, it is unhealthy to sit on your emotions and not let them express themselves.
So, let it all out.
Your pains, your joys, your fears, and your confidence.
Let them all find healthy expressions within you.
Journaling, talking to a trusted friend, or seeking professional support can all be helpful in finding yourself and understanding your emotions.
7. Prioritize Self-Care
If you do not take care of yourself, who will?
You cannot ignore what your body and mind need and expect to be a beautiful, bubbling woman.
Make good meals, eat them, and take care of your skin.
Skincare is expensive, but invest in it.
Nothing is better than the feeling you get when you look in the mirror and see your glow for yourself.
It pumps a different kind of energy into you.
Take yourself out.
Do vacations.
Exercise more regularly and see to it that you are physically fit.
Spoil yourself with gifts.
Girl, you deserve it.
For real, I think it is a crime that you find it easy to shower people with gifts and goodness but find it difficult to do the same to yourself.
Self-care is not selfish; it’s an act of self-love and empowerment.
8. Cultivate Authentic Relationships
No man is an island.
Neither is there any woman who is.
Everyone needs someone to lean on and to hold their hands through life’s journey.
You should not try to do life by yourself because of a few bad experiences you’ve had with people.
Surround yourself with people who support and uplift you on your journey.
Cultivate authentic connections based on mutual respect, understanding, and empathy.
Be you; be original.
People who love you will stay; others will move on.
Life is that simple.
And being original and authentic will help you attract authentic people, too.
Healthy relationships nourish your feminine energy and provide a nurturing space for growth and self-expression.
9. Celebrate Your Femininity
Every woman is uniquely created in a beautiful way.
Sometimes, I just spend my time looking at women, and I’m just in awe.
God really took His time with the women.
Details are properly arranged to birth something beautiful.
And that beautiful thing is you.
You didn’t just arrive in this world.
And you are not a woman by chance.
Every single part of you was intentional, an extra touch to your beauty.
So, you should learn to embrace the unique qualities that make you a woman.
Those things are exclusive to womanhood.
It’s such a beautiful thing to be someone who can experience all that.
Celebrate your femininity in all its forms—your appearance, interests, and way of being in the world.
There is no one-size-fits-all definition of femininity, and so it’s okay to define it on your own terms.
Reconnecting with your feminine side is a journey of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment.
This journey is yours, and there is no right or wrong way to reconnect with your feminine essence.
So, take a deep breath.
Trust yourself, be gentle with yourself, and allow the wisdom of your feminine nature to guide you towards a more balanced and fulfilling life.
