Honestly, when I have had to think of what a powerful woman looked like for me for as long as I can remember I have always depicted the women kicking butt and fighting the bad guy.
But that must get tiring don’t you think?
Always fighting?
I mean Wonder Woman has an alter ego for reason, right?
Because even she knows she needs rest
She can’t keep on fighting
We can’t keep on fighting
You can’t keep on fighting
The moment I chose to invite my best self to the dinner party
The woman who didn’t fight but was in control of what she can control and didn’t worry about the rest
The woman who knew how to conversate with ease (and is not awkward no matter how many times her mind said she was)
The woman who believed in her values and wasn’t intimidated by people that seemed to have it all
The woman who instead was curious to learn about others and was done with the comparison
That woman did not fight or compete
That woman chose to just be
Why does everything have to be a fight anyway?
Truth be told
I haven’t been in fisticuffs since Primary school and back then I was referred to as Ryu from Street Fighter
So being a powerful woman to me
Isn’t about balancing plates
It isn’t a slim, six-pack model type woman that looks like a Victoria Secrets Model
Nor is it a woman who covers up murders for a living (yes I low key love the series How To Get Away With Murder)
It is the real woman
Not a woman depicted on a cinema screen
But a woman I see walking on the streets
A woman who sometimes has bad days but also good days and appreciates both knowing there is no victory nor failure in either just lessons
A woman who does the downward-facing dog in Yoga and gets tired
A woman who runs 6km and doesn’t know if she feels compelled to do it again because frankly that Box vs Bass class was far more entertaining
A woman who gets nervous from time to time about the future and has to take walks in nature to ground herself so she feels connected to nature
A woman who has a picture of herself as a toddler in the mirror and tells that toddler
I love you to remind herself that she is loved
This woman is me
I like the idea of this woman
Because…
This woman is vulnerable
This woman is relatable
And this woman hasn’t got all her shit together
And that is what I love about her
Because it’s the messy shit that keeps this woman grounded in the truth that we are all human
Being this woman, accepting who I am and not what I think I should be has brought me so much freedom
Don’t you want that freedom?
Well it starts with your energy
Because you can be doing all the things
But if your energy is not focused on being purposeful, love-driven instead of fear-driven you end up taking action from a low energetic, fearful and desperate place
I don’t want that for you…
Let me help you
You are powerful you just have to stop trying to fight and learn how to shift, I show you how, book a call here
