Within each of us, there are feminine and masculine qualities. Although they’re commonly associated with gender, it’s actually not referring to gender at all…
Not one energy is better or worse than the other. They both serve very different purposes… Masculine is more about going, doing, achieving, giving, competing and feminine is more about receiving, creating, being, experiencing. In order to feel fulfilled and make the most out of our lives, it Is important that we balance both of the energies and create harmony between both of them.
There is a saying: Too much of a good thing can become a bad thing… And this is exactly what I am going to be talking about today
I mentioned it a couple of times in the past, we live in a society that tends to favor more masculine ideals. Hence, we have learned to ‘hustle’, compete, or sometimes even achieve and strive for goals just for the sake of it. As much as masculine energy helps us to make things happen - too much of it might do a disservice for us in the long run and it might even block us from achieving our fullest potential.
So today I would like to share with you 3 signs that your feminine energy is out of balance:
1. Overwhelmed, Exhausted, Burned out - Extremely common one. When you’re always pushing to GSD (get stuff done), you never get a break. More accurately, you never take a break. The career, the household chores, taking kids to practice, volunteering at the school, and saying “yes” to a million other things… even if you get it all done, you’ll have to get up and do it all again tomorrow. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. It’s exhausting. There’s no downtime, no ME time, and no time to recharge.
2. Give more than you receive - and that includes everything: your time, energy, emotions, thoughts, physical things, value, knowledge. Giving is absolutely a positive thing and it feels so good when we give! However, if you give way more than you receive ask yourself if you are allowing things to come to you or pushing them away? It doesn’t have to be something physical, it also can be positive, loving energy, time, and care. By always giving, giving, and giving, remember that you also need to fill yourself up again. You can’t give from empty, the best gifts come from overflow .
3. Always in control or over-controlling - although having a certain level of control over your life is a wonderful thing, the problem begins when you want to be in control of everything - people at work, the way the project is going, your kids, partner, holiday plans and so on. And God forbid, something goes not the way you’ve planned! Not only are you putting an insane amount of pressure on yourself trying to control everything but also it is so draining for your energy to keep up with all the plans and expectations on your mind. ‘ Relax - nothing is in control ‘ - the quote I heard a few years ago that completely shifted my perspective. As much as we try to control things around us, there is always be something that will change the direction and a lot of the times for the better and others - for the lesson
If you recognise yourself with any of those signs it just means that you need to take some time and reconnect with your feminine energy - through meditation, creativity, walk in nature, or sometimes just sitting down and just being in a moment…
Have a wonderful rest of the week and as always, let me know if you have any questions !
Lots of love,
T.W
