When asking the average woman who exudes femininity, they’ll probably give you a couple of names: Beyonce, Bella Hadid, or Michelle Obama to name a few. In turn, you may question, “What exactly makes them feminine?”
Feminine energy refers to an aura or an energy that reflects to traits typically focused on emotions, compassion, and introspection.
Often, feminine energy is said to be connected to positive emotional qualities, such as empathy and patience, and beneficial traits, like creativity, good communication skills, and high self-esteem. It is often said that a person who is aware of and focuses on their feminine energy or has high amounts of it will demonstrate these positive qualities.
Feminine energy represents creativity, poise, and fluidity. It’s about empathy, inspiration, and using the imagination to ignite change and oneness in all spaces. When feminine energy is used correctly, it can inspire others to be their highest, most positive selves – especially women. Since we are approaching the end of 2024, what better time to start stepping into your feminine energy than now?
Here are some tips to enhance your femininity as we step into the new year.
Listen More, Speak Less
We’ve all held conversations with someone who never asked how your day was, let alone allowed you to get a word in. They continuously ramble on about whatever issues or events occur in their life; it’s almost as though you aren’t even present; they’re just talking into the void. You don’t want to be that person. Possessing a grandiose sense of self makes anyone, not just a woman, appear selfish and undesirable, which is the opposite of feminine energy. Make it a habit to be curious about the people you engage in dialogue with. Ask them about their day, upcoming ventures, or recent accomplishments. Take note of people’s interests and disinterests and remember them.
Most times, beginning a conversation with “How are you feeling?” indicates to a person that you are genuinely concerned about their well-being and not just asking to be polite. We’re not suggesting that you walk around and attempt to be a therapist to everyone you come into contact with, but expressing interest in what people say allows them to trust you inadvertently. Improving your speaking skills and learning to convey your ideas effectively can also be a great addition to your femininity. In the tongue lies great power, so utilize that power effectively.
Invest in your Knowledge
If you aren’t learning, you aren’t growing; without growth, you aren’t living. It is a necessity to stay curious and to invest in your curiosity. No matter how much time has passed since you last learned something new, it’s never too late to pick up a new trade or even enroll in some sort of academic program. Learning new skills and expanding them makes you invaluable; encouraging powerful self-confidence. If there is a business you’d like to start or a career change you’d like to pursue, go for it. You only miss the shots you don’t throw.
Start a Hobby outside of Work and Career
Wake up. Scroll on TikTok. Take a shower. Eat Breakfast. Go to work for eight hours of the day. Go home. Rest. Repeat. Sounds like a terrible way to live your life… doesn’t it? That’s because it is. Yes, we all have bills to pay and career goals to achieve, but there is more to life than the monotonous Monday through Friday routine. Indulging in hobbies and activities outside of work and career is a great way to begin living a life opposite of that routine. Hobbies can provide you with skillsets and emotional fulfillment. Participating in activities outside of work makes you a more well-rounded and interesting individual. When you’re interesting, you gain attention from not only potential romantic partners but also from possible friends and colleagues. Becoming passionate about a skill or activity is attractive; people love passionate people. Who knows, maybe you’ll discover your life purpose in a hobby. You’ll never know unless you try it.
Hobbies that put you in your, “feminine energy,” include but are not limited to:
- Computer programming
- Creative writing
- Painting
- Physical fitness and training
- Playing an instrument
- Scrapbooking
- Starting a collection
- Sports
- Traveling
Be Organized
Not having a sense of order in your life can increase stress, fatigue, anxiety, and brain fog, all of which will negatively affect your mental space and knock you out of alignment with your feminine energy. Setting strict schedules, using planners, and keeping track of your daily tasks will help with organizing your thoughts and duties. Discipline is key. Organizing your life and practicing consistent organization will increase your productivity and put you in a more positive mood.
Stay Consistent with Personal Upkeep and Appearance
Have you ever heard of the saying, “When you look good, you feel good, and when you feel good, you do good”? There is an undeniable truth about this mantra. Presenting your cleanest, best-put-together self increases the positive view of your self-image, increasing self-efficacy; an individual’s belief in their capacity to act in the ways necessary to achieve their goals. Keeping up with your hair, manicures & pedicures, investing in your wardrobe, and even visiting your doctors regularly are all signs of positive femininity and will allow you to show up as your best self in your day-to-day life. Take care of yourself!
Remember, you are your biggest project. Re-building and re-invention are part of the process of becoming your most feminine and lightest version of yourself. As we step into the new year, we here at Just N Life encourage you to make the best of your journey to discovering who it is that you are so that you, too, can encourage others to do the same.
