For some reason, a lot of people tend to downplay their feminine traits, or the behavior they consider to be more feminine, as if it is a bad thing. Maybe it is because society tends to associate being female with weakness and people want to look more powerful. But nothing can be farther from the truth. Being feminine doesn’t mean you are weak! This old concept should be eradicated from your mind for good. It is a fact, everyone has both feminine and masculine attributes *wink.* So, how can you get in touch with those feminine traits?
Traditionally, women who are in competitive or male dominated lines of work, tend to dress more gender-neutral. They probably feel it is for the best seeing as clothes can make them blend in better. However, your clothes should be an expression of yourself and not something to measure your qualities or competence by. Don’t be afraid to dress feminine! (If that’s how you want to dress, of course). Ditch the pants, sneakers and t-shirts. Go for dresses, skirts and heels. You may be surprised at the power of a good pair of heels!
Another important aspect of this whole thing is the voice. We tend to associate a rude voice with masculine attributes. If you are looking to sound more feminine, try to talk in a lower and softer tone. It is also always a good idea to enunciate every word clearly and expand your vocabulary. Hey, keep in mind these little things create an impression about who you are!
Emotions and feelings are a part of being feminine. This energy is often associated with the spiritual side. Hence, you need to get in touch with your own feelings and learn how to interpret them. Being more in tune with this side of you will not only make you more feminine, it will also create a positive impact on your life and overall happiness. In fact, everyone can benefit from this. If you don’t have an outlet for your emotions or simply bottle them up, you are creating unnecessary tension and fueling negative energy. If you have trouble accessing your feelings, you can always try meditation or go to a therapist for help.
Your emotional part also has to do a lot with communication. This doesn’t mean you have to be a complete chatterbox 24 hours a day especially if it is not your style. It only means you will communicate those feelings only when it is important to convey them. This has the added benefit of improving your relationships because if someone doesn’t know how you feel they won’t be able to act accordingly. Good communication is critical to a healthy and happy life.
Maybe the most important aspect of the feminine traits you will need is to love and respect yourself as a unique human being who is open to transformation. Everyone is special in his or her own way and each of us contains a universe inside of us. Hence, there are many sides to a person. We are not just one thing all the time. Everyone shows a different aspect depending on the role we play, like in our house, with different members of our family and at our workplace with our coworkers, etc. So, we end up being a lot of different things at the same time.
Keep your mind relaxed and uncluttered. Make sure you have some time to yourself and practice self care. This will help you maintain a higher self esteem because everyone with a feminine side should value their own self worth!
