How to Step Into Your Feminine Energy and Achieve More in Your Life

Have you ever wondered how can you achieve more by doing less?

As an entrepreneur, this has always been crucial for me.

Like my coaching clients, I’ve always had huge goals, dreams and ambitions. But because of this, I thought I had to hustle 24/7 in order to get ahead.

When I reached the point of feeling completely burnt out, I knew something had to change. That’s when I stepped back and reconnected with my feminine energy — and believe it or not, I started to achieve so much more in my professional life.

So let’s start with the basics…

What is feminine energy?

All of us have masculine and feminine energy. Feminine energy is aligned with our life flow, slowing down, relaxing and enjoying the moment. Its traits are associated with nurturing, receptiveness, creativity and softness.

In today’s world, we are often rewarded for hustle, hard work and sacrificing self-care. Our go-go-go mentality is a masculine trait — a dominant force in a fast-paced society.

While building my business, I worked extremely long hours and pushed myself to my limits, thinking that the more I worked, the more I would gain. The problem was, this deeply affected my feminine energy and my overall well-being.

Having spent so many years studying, followed by building & scaling my coaching business, I ended up not prioritising myself…

I had amazing results in my work, but I forgot to make time for other forms of joy and pleasure. And, you guessed it — I suffered the consequences. I was so disconnected from the present moment that I wasn’t able to appreciate the beauty of the here and now.

But here’s the thing: we can have great results in our careers, and achieve even more than we ever imagined, if we simply connect with our divine feminine energy.

Checking in with our energy systems

Balancing both our masculine and feminine energies is what helps us to feel whole. When we are operating from a place of balance, we are also able to live objectively. And from that, we are able to see how we can be more in alignment with our big goals and dreams.

When we relax more and slow down, we also make better use of our creativity and start to trust ourselves and our intuition.

Our feminine side is driven by our curiosity. When we’re tapped into this energy, we become more aware of who we really are and what’s going on around us in our life.

And that’s when the magic happens. We become more authentic, more empowered, and as a result, more successful.

You see, in order for us to fully thrive, we have to balance both our masculine and feminine energies.

This looks like passionately chasing our dreams, while honouring our needs through spiritual practices and self-care rituals. It looks like creating specific and ambitious goals, all while surrendering to the flow of life. And it looks like organising ourselves and having a structure in our business, while still leaving space for creativity & spontaneity.

When we are able to balance and focus our energies in the right direction, we become more effective in our daily tasks and decisions. All of which help us reach the big visions for our lives more easily.

How to connect to your feminine energy

If you want to reconnect with your feminine energy, you have to learn how to prioritise yourself, your self-care and your well-being. This could mean starting the day with a peaceful morning routine and a quiet place to meditate. Or spending time in self-reflection and practicing a gentle yoga flow.

As human beings, we are also here to connect with others — so be sure to surround yourself with people who lift you up, too. Tapping into social connection and choosing to make time for play is crucial if you want to balance your energy systems. If you’re struggling to find the time, book it into your calendar and treat it as an important appointment — trust me, it is.

As we become more in tune with ourselves, our needs, and our core values, we naturally start to embody more of our feminine traits.

Through diving into the inner work, and practicing self-refection, we learn to identify the patterns, behaviours and energy we are operating from. From this, we are able to choose the patterns that serve our highest good.

Just remember — life is a process of accepting ourselves and learning to show up to our full potential.

Here’s to letting go, flowing with life, and deciding to have fun on the journey!
