Expressing Body Modification and Femininity

There are a couple new things I've learned in the past few days as I've been researching femininity...

In today's fast-paced, energy-efficient world, people are bombarded with how to become harder, better, faster, stronger..-Daft Punk!- and women sometimes sacrifice their sense of femininity in order to take time for the sake of others: feeding the children, while doing everything else a mother needs to get done in the sake of time,...finishing a research paper while stuffing faces in order to make it through an all-nighter,...judgingbodies like a manufacturing company while not taking time to appreciate the natural (and unnatural) curves that make the human body...
There is a lot to appreciate for the sake of femininity and most times people miss the point!

It was said by Dolores Curley, in an article I read which speaks about revitalizing femininity, that by being in touch with her delicate, intimate, compassionate, sexual, and gentle side, a woman can feel more complete, refreshed and fulfilled.
This is not to say that a woman is fulfilled simply by contacting her sexuality and femininity. It is merely suggesting that a woman is often pushed out of the way in terms of the importance of her sexuality. We are sexual beings- we can't deny that we want to feel good about what we were born with! When women turn to an over-asking world with a fervor that says, "I can be just as energetic as any testosterone-filled man!", it is as if women do not realize who they are, or how their unique, wonderful feminine energy works. If women take more time to appreciate, love, and adore the estrogen-body that they were given, they will find that they are more comfortable in their own skin and have more ability to work within the body system that they were given.

Unfortunately and with silliness, it is quite possible that women may have "less energy" than men because for centuries, women have been made to believe so. It is simple, yet complicated, that a belief can promote the exact outcome that it portrays. For example, a woman may say "I do not know if I want to have kids, because it would be really hard to juggle everything. If only I was a man and had testosterone to get me through all of this." Yes, children steal energy. LARGE amounts of it. But a woman to then believe that she can do the same as another person who doesn't have children is insane. People need to take into account their own energy source, understanding who we really are. Often times, women do not realize our media portrays so much time-efficient propaganda that they end up sacrificing their own energy in order to keep up.

The best thing to do is to keep a daily self-praise to realize you are a woman. Then, you can say, "I can do this!"- or whatever you wish to achieve, not "like a man" but "like a WOMAN!" Women have their own type of energy that we so often overlook in our world which HAS, for centuries, been advertised as a world for men. Women deserve the respect that they have always gained! For most men, a team sport, a visual video-game, or some type of fast calculating has promoted them to feeling on top of their game in whatever they choose to do throughout the day. This IS the chemical formula of testosterone: to be fast, fast-acting, hard, and strong. In order to achieve the energy balance and vitality, women have a completely different ballgame. We cannot deny the chemical balances within our body. Estrogen is naturally slow-moving, generally swirly in formation, and based off of the aesthetic senses of touch, aroma, smell, and taste. We must realize and take into account the basis of our energy in order to feel it working for us.

How has estrogen worked in your life? In order to feed a baby? In order to feel sexy in a nightgown.... hasn't it always made you feel better in the morning?
Ready to take on the day?

What does a long, aromatic, soft bath do for you?

How about a massage with pedicure and manicure?
(Nobody cares what it eventually looks like-- how do you FEEL when you get it done!?)

I want an eyebrow piercing to LOOK sexy, but how will I FEEL sexy?
Lingerie!
I don't ever want to say that some0ne feels sexy by buying lingerie, but it's true! People connotate lingerie with being a slut, or BEING someone who shows it off a lot. I buy it because the lace feels good hugging my round bottom. Same reason you buy good-fitting shirts or jeans. They feel good on your body. There are sometimes two reasons people will do things for themselves.
For themselves
Or For Someone Else
It is a simple misjudgement when the decision is made, however, it makes a large change in how one feels about oneself!
For example, a girl goes shopping for a pair of jeans.
There is one goal: to buy a good-fitting pair of jeans.
There are TWO motives: for herself, or for someone else.
For someone else, she will buy the good-fitting jeans in order to look good on her bottom.
For herself, she will buy the good-fitting jeans so they FEEL good on her bottom.
For someone else, she escapes the good feelings that she could have had.
For herself, she feels the good feelings of having a good pair of jeans, and she is happier throughout the day when she wears them, feeling them all day long.
Can you tell the difference?
Notice this difference in your life... The goal doesn't matter; the REASON behind the goal does.
Aim for doing things for yourself!
Write down a list of your goals. And then turn around the reasons for them if they aren't for yourself!
=) Be Happier!
