We each have masculine and feminine traits. Depending on our mindset, we can act from a masculine or feminine energy, therefore using a different set of qualities.
Let’s imagine that you’re facing a problem at work.
If you dive into deep thinking and operating with logic, you will be acting with a masculine energy and using masculine qualities to help you figure out a solution. Masculine energy is about doing things and getting things done (working hard to get to the solution).
If you, however, decide to take a step back and review all the information or reach out to others for collaboration, you will step into your feminine energy and rely on feminine traits to discover a solution. Feminine energy is about being and allowing things to happen effortlessly (making space for the solution to come to you).
It’s useful to recognise what energy you’re in, so that you can regulate your inner state better and balance between the two extremes.
When we use masculine energy for too long, we disconnect from our emotions. And vice versa, when we’re in our feminine energy for too long, we dissociate from our goals.
To be successful and fulfilled in life, it’s essential that we learn how to be comfortable in both masculine and feminine energy. This will help us connect with ourselves, the world and others on a deeper level.
When we are at peace with who we are, we can create a more balanced lifestyle, enjoy every day with more gratitude and spot the opportunities for growth with more ease.
