Hello sweet readers! 

Welcome to the blog.

Do you ever feel out of touch with the feminine side? Or more like an awkward teenager instead of the beautiful woman God created? I felt like this my entire first year of college. Honestly, I have felt out of touch with my feminine side for a long time now. I’ll be gentle with myself and admit I was stressed and overwhelmed with the change I went through in the last year of entering adulthood, having a million responsibilities thrown on me, and attending college. With everything that happened in the last year of my life I simply didn’t make/have time to take care of myself. Now that my freshman year in nursing school has come to an end I decided it was finally time to care for my mental and physical health. One of the areas I wanted to improve in was getting in touch with my femininity, to allow myself to grow into a woman hood. After reading many other feminine blog posts, watching YouTube videos, observing the feminine women in my life I started trying out different ways to engage in my femininity. I’ve put together a list of five things that helped me to help you all on your journey into embracing womanhood and your femininity. I hope you enjoy!

Be More Nurturing

Learn to be more nurturing towards yourself and others. I know it sounds silly at first but trust me here. I found I feel feminine when I am in touch with my nurturing side. Now it might sound like I am talking about taking care of children or being a mother. But you don’t even need to do these things to be nurturing. You can be nurturing through caring for and giving an animal love, this could be a pet dog, cat, bunny or even a goldfish! Even gardening or having house plants could be a way to do this. After all, they need to be cared for to grow properly. If neither of these are reasonable or just not interesting to you that’s ok! There are still plenty of other ways to engage in this. Another way you can be nurturing is through kindness to loved ones and strangers. Remember! Kindness can go a long way. You never know what someone else is going through or what feelings they are hiding from the outside world. A simple compliment or kind gesture can have a huge impact on someone’s mood. 

The Way You Dress

The second way I embraced my femininity was allowing myself to wear more dresses, put makeup on, fix my hair nice. Your outfit and how you present yourself has a major impact on your mood! Now you don’t have to wear a dress or makeup to feel feminine, that’s not what I’m trying to say. What I mean is present yourself in a way that makes you feel your best. People will ask you questions and make rude or sarcastic comments such as “Where are you going so dressed up?” or “are you really going to wear that?”. We have to learn to ignore those types of people because they’re never going to change and quite frankly they won’t ever understand why you dress the way you dress. What I have learned is that most of the time these people make comments like those usually because it makes them feel uncomfortable with themselves. They’re insecure about themselves and maybe they feel underdressed. Sadly, this results in them trying to make you look like the bad one. You deserve to feel and dress your best everyday, don’t let anyone tell you different.

Enjoy Nature

Get out of the house and go explore! This is my favorite way to help embrace my feminine side. You might enjoy a walk at your favorite park, you could go hiking, swimming is even a great way to do this! Embrace the beauty of His creation, let it sink in that the same God that made the beautiful scenery you’re in is the one that created the beautiful and unique woman you are. 

Surround yourself with Feminine Women

There is no better way to learn how to embrace your femininity than to learn from others. We all need community and support in our lives and this comes from people like ourselves. The people we surround ourselves with have a huge impact on who we are and how we act. This is why I think there is no better way than finding a feminine community to step into your womanhood. They will be there to give advice and you will be able to lean onto each other in hard times. You will be surprised by how much you can learn by simply observing them and taking notice of how they handle a situation or treat others. I have trouble making new friends so another way I did this was observing famous women like princess Diana, Audrey Hepburn and so on. 

Free Yourself

Out of all of these I struggled with this one the most and still do. We are our own worst enemy. Throughout my journey I’ve learned that I hold myself back so much from a million little fears. Fear of standing out, fear of judgement, and feeling alone in my journey. There isn’t much I can say on this as it is a personal battle we have to face, but if you just try to allow yourself to flourish you would feel this huge weight lifted off of your shoulders. It took a lot of self reflection and praying to finally start freeing myself. Even when I felt alone and terrified I had to realize that He was right there holding me and cheering me on with a loving smile.

I hope you enjoyed this blog and can use some of these tips!
