Femininity

Jung on Feminine

“Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” -Carl Jung I’ve been listening to Carl Jung videos on YouTube to explore his idea of femininity. He theorized the Anima and Animus. He says the Anima is the divine feminine in aContinue reading “Jung on Feminine”

“Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art.” – Garson Kanin I started to look more into femininity and I found that 54% of women 65+ felt highly feminine in comparison to only 20% of women between the ages of 18-29. I think several factors are at play here. And now I’mContinue reading “Femininity”

“You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep spring from coming.” -Pablo Neruda It’s coming, and we can’t slow it down. Spring is a welcomed season. Most people perk up, get outside, or maybe even start making summer plans. Spring means so many good things! For me, it’s feeling like myself again. I’mContinue reading

When A Woman Stands Up For Herself

“Each time a woman stands up for herself, she stands up for all women.” –Maya Angelou I don’t think women should be pressured to stand up, but I do think that the women who do choose to stand up should recognize the liberation of their choice, no matter how big or small. I like toContinue reading “When A Woman Stands Up For Herself”

Women Come Together

“Any time women come together with a collective intention, it’s a powerful thing. Whether it’s sitting down making a quilt, in a kitchen preparing a meal, in a club reading the same book, or around the table playing cards, or planning a birthday party, when women come together with a collective intention, magic happens.” -PhyliciaContinue reading “Women Come Together”

The Dance

I’m getting frustrated about looking into femininity because it’s just a social construct. I just want to do what makes me feel at home in myself. There’s nothing to argue about here or prove when it comes to masculinity or femininity. There are days I allow my masculine traits to take the lead, to giveContinue reading “The Dance”

The Feminine Feminist

The Feminine Feminist There it is… That is the one. I’ve been exploring femininity lately and it’s been fun! I love that I was reminded that self-care is a basic need, not some silly little feminine desire. It’s human. At the end of the day, I just want a world where women are supported andContinue reading “The Feminine Feminist”

Sleepy Sunday

This was a sleepy Sunday for me. “We must believe we are worthy of rest.” — Tricia Hersey, Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto. I just happened across this quote about rest, and the more I read, the more interested I am in the whole idea of Rest as Resistance. Sleep is so vital. When you’reContinue reading “Sleepy Sunday”

Full Moon Revelations

“One of the criticisms I’ve faced over the years is that I’m not aggressive enough or assertive enough, or maybe somehow, because I’m empathetic, it means I’m weak. I totally rebel against that. I refuse to believe that you cannot be both compassionate and strong.” -Jacinda Ardern Home Sweet Home I’ve been taking Organizational Psychology,Continue reading “Full Moon Revelations”

Human

Being alive and reaching towards my goals feels good. I’m glad I can sit down and feel my way through femininity. I’m glad I can reach for the stars and still keep going after I fail. I’m glad the pressure is off when I succeed in one area and I get to find something elseContinue reading “Human”
