Why you need to be more feminine

RUSHING women put a huge strain on their adrenal glands to keep pumping out the stress hormones they need to keep going, but you can offset the masculine influence of your body’s chemicals by making a conscious effort to bring more feminine rituals into your life.

If your work requires you to be ‘masculine’, do it, but try

bringing compassion into your heart and soften your gaze. Think of ‘creating’ instead of ‘producing’. Just that shift in language is more feminine and could be helpful.

When you get home, make the effort to shift out of work mode and into home mode. Change your clothes. Light a candle and notice the scent. Dance around your house to music that lights you up.

Later in the evening, have a bath with aromatic oils. Make a pot of herbal tea in your favourite teapot and think of this as a ‘special occasion’.

Notice the design of the pot and cup, the tea’s fragrance, and how you feel taking care of yourself.
